Break Those Laws

 












It seems that in our society today, there is such a push to redefine laws.   

Murder is wrong, but abortion is okay.

It seems as though people, in general, want to make the laws say what they would like it to say.

It can be very frustrating. 

In all of the ado about defining laws and making other things okay that are not okay,

I am happy to report that there are still ten laws that God wrote.

They can not be changed or rewritten.

God gave us ten moral laws that can never be changed.  

They are from old and yet we all have problems just following those ten laws.

We can try to adjust them or make his laws say what we want,

but we can't.

No matter how we try to change them, they are as solid as the physical laws like gravity.  

Physical laws cannot be easily altered without consequences.  

If I decide that I do not want to obey gravity and jump from a ten-story building,

Gravity will show up and remind me that it is still the law unless another law steps in,

that is the law of grace and mercy.  

When grace is applied, sin is ruled by the grace of our beloved Lord.

So as we look at society with no moral absolutes, it is good to remember, 

the right will always be right and sin will always be sin.  

It does not depend on us or our opinion.

God has spoken

Thank You God For Turning Our Ashes into Beauty

There are tragedy and sadness in everyone's life, No one is exempt. Yet, in the midst of the hurt and pain, God is there. He takes the things that hurt us and make us sad and turns them into things are beautiful. The death of my mother  was a tragedy to my dad. However, because of that tragedy, my dad began to see his need for God. In his brokenness, he found a God that could make him whole.  God turned his ashes into beauty. My dad, in turn, taught me to love God.   I am blessed to know God as my savior because of my dad. God also blessed me with a lovely step-mom Life is harsh at times, and many things are sad,  Yet, if we let him, he will take our ashes and make them into a work of art.   He delights in making the ash heaps of our life beautiful.   When we are broken, God is near, and where there is sorrow, he will turn it into dancing.   Thank you, God, F...

Rest For Your Soul

Tonight was such a beautiful sunny night that I decided to go for a walk and enjoy the warm summer sun before another wave of rain hits.  As I cranked up my music and headed out.  I could not help but praise God for the area in which I live.   I, quite literally, live 5 minutes from a small town.   If I want to walk, I can walk down deserted country roads without driving at all.  Yes, I am incredibly blessed.  I saw baby bunnies eating grass by the edge of the road and talked with the most friendly Jersey cows.  They always walk over to the edge of the fence as I walk by nodding their heads in greeting.   There was a deer, in a hurry to catch up with his “deer” friends I suppose.  There were daisies and buttercups, apple trees by the edge of the road and a creek that floods at least once during the spring.  I also occasionally see a very friendly donkey and a few horses who always come to the edge of the fence hoping I have sugar for...

Speak Christ In Your Actions

Every day the situations we are put in define what we really believe.  Sometimes how I respond to the irritations that life throws at me, sometimes daily, is critical.   I work in food service.  I love it.  It puts me in a position to see a variety of different in a day. One thing I especially love is watching their reactions and responses to little things. I have seen people upset because there was .01 more than they asked for. I have seen little children holding out their hands for popcorn chicken as their parent walks by.  I have been yelled at and made to feel less than human because an order was missed.  I have also watched a nicely dressed lady show a ton of class when soda shot all over her.  She just laughed and declared, “Guess I need a shower now.”  She could have been angry and upset but instead she chose to laugh and “let it go, let it go” as the song says. Most of the time it serves a great reminder for me to watch my attitude...
