Good stuffs.
This world is not my home....nor is this house.
5/5/09
We've lived in this house for about 1 1/2 years.
It still feels like we don't live here. It's huge...lots of space....but it's just ick.
I'm thankful that we have a home this large. But I'm ready for something of my own.
*sigh*

A Changed Life

Does it happen in a moment?
Can you see it in just a day?
What happens when your life is truly changed?
It's kinda funny, but my husband's life has changed in one day. He quit his part-time job so he is only going to college and working at the fire station. But that gives him two days off in a row after each 24 hour shift. It's nice.
A huge burden must have lifted from his shoulders. He's just so dadgum happy. He's doing yard work right now...with 5 children under his feet. He made pancakes for breakfast, while listening to an audio book on the economy.
So with the weight off of him, he's finally able to breathe and live and just enjoy life. And that makes ME happy.
PLUS, did I tell you? He's lost 20 lbs!! (that took a bit longer than 2 days...but I had to brag!

A Rose By Any Other Name

Luke's reading assignment for this week was to read an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. (He's in 6th grade.)
He wasn't impressed.
I guess he doesn't get what it means to be a hopeless romantic.
Well, good.
:-)
(for now)

Water, water everywhere...

I attended a memorial service today. My Granny's BEST friend (40 years of being best friends!) passed away.
And though I wasn't surprised about what I heard from this particular denomination's pastor, my eyes were opened to the fact that I really believe everyone pretty much believes what I believe.
Wow!
Everyone does NOT believe what I believe.
So as the words "baptized into the church" were being said over and over throughout his message...I just prayed. Prayed hard.
People, Jesus is the only way to get to heaven. Period.
If you got wet to join a church, you've missed it.
If you've accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, been baptized by water and spirit...then you will NEVER be the same.
If you've never been MADE new...then you aren't new...you're just a new member.
I'm tired of living like everyone knows this. Because it's obvious to me that people do not know this. And some know this and reject it, and that's fine with me. You choose that. But if people don't know this and they die thinking that a little water in a church baptistery is going to save them from hell, then I've failed in the ONE mission Christ has given me.
