Secrets – Part 3

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:59:29 -0400

So I left off my last post with the fact that I’d received the e-mail from my sister-in-law’s mom (Ninny - not her real name) about her sharing a secret she didn’t want my brother and sister-in-law to know about.

Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Growing Up

Secrets – Part 1

I was watching Legally Blond last night. I realize this is a pretty silly movie, but if you look deeper than the fluff, there are many great life and relationship lessons in this movie. One of my favorites is Elle’s integrity when asked to keep a secret.

A True Christian Action

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:42:26 -0400

So I was listening to NPR today when they played Storycorps. These are personal stories people record giving an oral slice-of-life. I normally don't pay too much attention to them but this one caught my attention. If there ever was proof that it's not the situation, it's how you react to it that determines your mood, this was it! The actually story can be found here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89164759

Sexual Skills For Christian Husband

Thu, 17 May 2007 15:46:57 -0400

Bring back the passion and frequency of making love. Realize the sexual potential you have while meeting the emotional & sexual expectations of your wife. Non degrading or demoralizing.

Man, God's Greatest Creation OR God, Man's Greatest Creation???

Thu, 15 Mar 2007 03:05:38 -0400

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air...

Movie: The Nativity Story

Sat, 23 Dec 2006 10:54:12 -0500

Are you planning to check out the new Christams movie? It's called 'The Nativity Story' and the previews looked good. I haven't made it yet, but I sure do hope to.

The professional critics seem to be giving it a C or B-, but what do they know. They are often not in synch with regular folks. From the reviews I have read, I understand that the story is well told and most anyone can be drawn into the lives of Mary and Joseph during that critical time. The script is supposedly well aligned with scripture. Of course, it is only fitting that the most wonderful true story be told truthfully.

Emmanuel- God with us

Sun, 10 Dec 2006 19:57:45 -0500

This morning in church we read part of the Christmas story in Matthew 1:18-25. One part in particular struck me. It said that His name shall be called Emmanuel which means "God with us". I had heard these words many times before, but today they had a bigger meaning. The very name of Jesus, also Emmanuel, means that God is with us. God sent His Son to earth to be with us, to become human. His whole name reminds us that we are never alone.

A Lesson From A Cop's Wife - Leave Nothing Unsaid

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 01:44:28 -0500

Normally I try to make this blog an upbeat place to gather fun ideas, but I feel compelled today to talk about a tragedy.

My husband's friend and co-worker (a fellow officer) died this morning after being involved in a horrific car accident.

As always, when someone dies so suddenly we start to question our relationships with those who mean the most to us.

Has anything been left unsaid? Have we said things we regret? Have we said "I'm sorry" for the small things?

Baptism Invitations

Sun, 15 Oct 2006 16:47:42 -0400

A child's baptism is a very important time in their life. There is alot of planning that goes into it as well.

A very important part of this is the baptism invitations. You want something that is going to reflect this special event. With a baptism invitation, you can simply address it and send it on its way. You might even want to get matching thank you notes as well.

Gay Marriage

Sat, 26 Aug 2006 17:51:27 -0400

Gay? Have a loved one who is? In a committed relationship and want the world to know it? Then you’re probably as anger as I am that gay marriages are being outlawed. The Christian God I serve promotes LOVE. I just can’t see Him seeing ANY true expression of love as being a sin.
I am a legally ordained minister offering a way around the gay marriage ban for same-sex couples longing to show the world they are committed for life: certificate of love.

Amy Grant "Find A Way"

Fri, 21 Jul 2006 08:40:28 -0400

Beginning in 1977, singer Amy Grant had become arguably the most popular act in Contemporary Christian music with a string of smash albums, including a pair that topped that genre's album chart. So it was quite a surprise when the singer, whose previous material had been more gospel-oriented, took a pop direction, adding more electric guitar and keyboards, for her 1984 album Straight Ahead.

Hearts and Minds

Mon, 17 Jul 2006 14:53:28 -0400

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Romans 1:21

The Christian gospel starts not with a solution but with a problem. Mankind is under the wrath of God because they are actively suppressing the truth that he has revealed about himself in and through the created world.

First, the Bad News

Sat, 01 Jul 2006 20:50:24 -0400

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness Romans 1:18

We have seen that Paul begins his presentation of the gospel by stating the problem which the gospel addresses. The problem is that the wrath of God is revealed against human sin.

We have also briefly considered some of the objections to the fact that God possesses wrath and seen that, far from being a comforting idea, the concept of an anger-free God is actually a deeply worrying one. If true, it means that the universe is ruled by a being who is indifferent to evil. This is hardly a comfort.
