Welcome!
Welcome me, welcome you! Athough I am not sure I have much to say, that anyone wants to listen to that is, I thought it might be fun to start a blog and archive my thoughts, pictures, writings, and attempted recipes and crafts! So, this is more of an area for me to be ME and to explore, vent and get creative. Enjoy, I plan to!

Challenge to the "religious"
I saw this laughed and felt guilty all at the same time! I am really struggling with bitterness and disappointment in God's people. The people who preach religion but don't follow through.
I hate to even say it, because I know I'm far from perfect.
But really? My dad has had a few family members visit and a friend from California, but no one from his church and no one from the the organization he held in such high regard.
Sure it looks good that you do your duty to go to church, or to Africa (no offense to Africa) but what about your duty to the shut-ins, orphans, widows around you? What about someone who used to call you friend?
Why not? Is it because we are too busy or too uncomfortable and that there is a clause for this that releases us from this duty? There is no James 1:27b "Unless it takes time or takes you out of your comfort zone!"
Knowing that I'm not perfect, I challenge myself as well as you. Are we acting out the command of James 1:27?
If the answer is no, what is the plan to change that?
I pray that the Holy Spirit nags us until we listen and change!
