thinking...

 

We went to visit our daughter this weekend.  On Sunday, the pastor talked about how we are called to be "different".  He made a pretty good statement that often times, we come to Christ and the only thing that separates us from the unsaved is our church attendance.  Then, posed a question that I've been chewing on for days now...

Removing church attendance from the equation entirely in your life, how is your life different than the unsaved?

Dang- i just posted this huge comment that probably had no insight whatsoever- and lost it. Oh well. But my point was and is- I have been thinkin the same thing. How do I get past my little inward world of Christianity of rules, titles, and actually bondage rather than freedom in Christ? Since this whole thing I haven't wanted to walk away from Christ- but from religion that holds me back. Cause how is my life truly different? Why should I convince people to join my club- if that's all it is- not alive, and real, and moving in the King of Kings? It's not worth selling out to. Yah- well that's way too much info let out of my strange box.

We covered this in inste this week, too - I just love the possibilities. Sad that they are "possible" and not quite real all the time. Chewing with you...

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't...

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk...
