that feeling.

January 24, 2006

don't you love that feeling when you almost feel God embrace you. you start thinking about him or you are in the middle of worship and all of a sudden your heart goes still and then you feel all warm inside. like someone is holding you. but in reality no one is there but a smile comes to your face because you know inside exactly what or who it was. that is AMAZING!

Prepare the way
Prepare the way of the Lord
Jesus...
You are the light of the world
Jesus...
You are the King of the earth
Jesus...

WOODY!

January 10, 2006well today was for sure an adventure. i walked out of work and noticed a squirrell laying on the ground with a broken leg. i went inside to find a box to kinda scoot him in just to get him out of the road. can you believe that someone did a hit and run!!! really, what is the world coming to these days? well amy bonin and amy powers both happened to be in the hall and i recruited them to help me. we went to this vet on church street but they couldn't help it bc they only do cats and dogs but they did tell us that he was still alive. on the way there amy b. started saying that she thought he was dead because he hadn't moved at all. but in  fact he was alive and kickin'. the vet called the black fox animal hospital and they told us to bring him in so that they could see what they could do. we left woody(that's the squirrell's name) there to be cared for. so all around it was a satisfactory search to save a squirrell's life. but i thought that if we were girl. scouts still....we would so get a badge for this.

As We Forgive Others

January 02, 2006

When it comes to a question of our forgiving other people, it is partly the same and partly different. It is the same because, here also, forgiving does not mean excusing. Many people seem to think it does. They think that if you ask them to forgive someone who has cheated or bullied them you are trying to make out that there was really no cheating or no bullying. But if that were so, there would be nothing to forgive. They keep on replying,"But I tell you the man broke the most solemn promise." Exactly: that is precisely what you have to forgive. (This doesn't mean that you must necessarily believe his next promise. It does mean that you must make every effort to kill every taste of resentment in your own heart-every wish to humiliate or hurt him or to pay him out.) The difference between this situation and the one in which you are asking God's forgiveness is this. In our own case we accept excuses too easily; in other people's we do not accept them easily enough.

Something to think about...I sure did look at forgiveness in a whole different light after reading this. GOD IS SO GREAT!

The Chronicles of Narnia

December 30, 2005

You know what I think? I think C.S. Lewis got it, the whole picture of what life is all about. As I left the theatre I couldn't help but look around  to see all the people leaving and I stood there wondering how many people could see the real story in this movie. Not just a movie that was good for the their kids to go see, but the story of the ultimate sacrifice.  I wonder if they knew.....
