Great post. "The only rights we have, he gives us". Needed this post today.
Did I miss the post on how the walk went? It was this last weekend, right? I need to send in my pledge. I must have missed something.
I had a similar experience recently. I was talking to a girl who is 22, a Christan, goes to church every Sunday and had two children before she was married, recently married the father even though she didn't want to and found out she had been cheating on her the whole time even right before and after the marriage and to top it off she was pregnant. She wanted an abortion. I gave her the please learn from my choice speech, the you will look back and regret this and of course all that God says about how precious life is and how this baby was being stitched in her womb by God himself, I gave her the stats and mental pictures and she still wanted to go through with it. Nothing I could say or do was even making a dent in her plan. She went through with it and I see her every Sunday as if she had an ingrown toenail removed..no big deal..something she had to take care of. I feel like I failed. I've been there, I know the pain and regret she will have. I know we can't change everyone' s mind and we will probably fail more than succeed but this was my first go at it. I am 0-1in saving a babies life. I was coached by a friend who serves at Riverside Life Services our pregnancy counseling center here in town. I felt well equipped. I know there was nothing more I could do. I guess I just wish I was 1-0.
So I suppose we are not going to hear about your whirlwind weekend at this point, are we?
I think I am surprised when my actions inspire. I think that I am still pretty surprised that God has me in this place, serving him. How do I know I am a good leader? I suppose no one has quit yet nor changed churches due to me and my review was pretty good so I think I am hanging in there.
Glee. But only because we don't have cable and I have kids so if I have any free time and I can Hulu one show it has to be Glee. When I had cable and more time on my hands, it was Randy Jackson's America's Best Dance Crew. LOVED THAT SHOW. I saw Fanny Pack (season 2 dance crew) on NYE and I was giddy like a 12 yr old running into Nick Jonas.
Wow. Emily was thirsty. We have never had a snow day nor have we ever had snow. Never or at least never that I ever remember and I think I would remember something like that. We live in So California in the "low" desert so we have to drive to the mountains which are only about 45 minutes away to experience snow. So it is available to us and we can see the snow on the mountains from our city but we do not get it here. I hope Emily's school closes. My fingers are crossed.
I love a great crust. My secret is a squeeze of lemon in the dough. Not enough to change the taste but it adds to the flakiness. Cherry pie is my favorite fruit pie.
I have always wanted to try this. Never thought to look it up though so I am glad you have it on here. I am going to try it and let you know how it turned out.
PS. Thanks for the comments on my blog today. (Argyle & Apricots)
