I love the Lord. I love the Bible. It is so deep that every day you can dive in to it, and yet never touch the bottom!
I'm not a preachy person (I hope not), but to not share the goodness of God is truly a sin!
I think about my non-believing friends and family... some may have tried to serve the Lord before, but some have never even tried! How can you know how it feels if you've never tried?...
I have tried living to self. It's a dark, meaningless, empty, and guilt-ridden life. I've never pretended to be something I'm not. Maybe I should have and I wouldn't have gotten into some of the troubles I've been in!
Life is so complex, but there is one thing that's certain - death. We are not immortal. Atheism says there isn't an after-life. Some religions believe in reincarnation (isn't this just more of the same?). Still others believe in earthly rewards in heaven - people becoming gods for doing "good deeds" on earth (like killing and harassing people)!
I believe we will be as children of God, like the angels, if we simply commit our hearts and lives to God through His Son - Jesus Christ. This belief has been around since the beginning of recorded history, folks have tried to eradicate it, and yet it sill remains!
"Give 'peace' a chance?" No, thanks; try Jesus! :-)

It's almost here! Come on, fall!!!
Yes, it's September! And I can already feel it in the air - autumn is coming! What a glorious time! I don't know if I've ever heard anyone say, "I hate fall." I'm sure some people do, but I love it!
The summer was fun, but with the long, hot days, and active children, it can be challenging. I'm not sure I would want to live in a year-round warm climate.
I look forward to wearing jackets (fleece particularly), wearing jeans, and maybe a new pair of boots. In having small children things are constantly new to them. My girls remember playing in the leaves last year, but they look forward to finding pumpkins, wearing costumes, and eating candy! I too look forward to these things.
Our county fair is coming soon too! The kids in our school have off the last Friday of the fair and get unlimited rides with admission! I can't wait to see their excited faces and find out what rides they can go on this year!
Our church has its own concession booth at the fair. I was asked to work in it, but can't because of the girls' schedule. I will be baking brownies and making whatever else is needed.
I know fall comes and goes quickly - it's like springs' quiet sister - but I will enjoy it for what it's worth. And I hope it will be cool in temperature, despite the heat this summer!
Bring on the hayrides, amusement, and candy apples! And maybe throw in some hot apple cider as well.
