...as christians we hide behind the theology that the blood of Jesus covers all our sins. we are home free...or heaven free whatever. WRONG. the blood of Jesus covers all sins we are repentant of.
this truth was the topic of the service a few weeks ago. how then do we have a chance. there are attitudes and behaviors that i have that i know i am not aware of. or at least not aware of the root issues. then i was reading ...
o, Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know when i sit down and when i rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down.
and are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
and are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
there is my hope. im a mess. how can i know and find the root of all the ways that separate me from God. He knows. all i need to do is ask. and then ask again for help.
this christianity thing is not a one time sit down with God. not a quick verbal agreement. its ongoing. but what better way to know yourself and change yourself then with the One who created you and is intimately acquainted with all your ways.

not sure that anyone actually reads this site but here-a-goes...
christmas is over. it was amazing. i had family and friends around me for the first time in a long time at christmas. i have a job that im really good at and excelling at in a relaxing atmosphere. i have a lot to be thankful for. and i am.
then you remember that you are a quarter of a century and kinda unsure of whats next. ok, really unsure about whats next. and realizing that what you have now...although its what you need and whats good for you in this exact moment...isn't what you want to be doing for the next five years.
so. school? maybe? i'm looking into it.
