Wonderful Sunday sermon yesterday. The kind that pricks your conscience and steps lightly on your toes. Sometimes we don't see how judgemental we are being of other people. Matt. 7:1-2 Do not judge or you too will be judged... "We weigh, we measure and we judge...people." How sad for us that we toss people aside in our judgement of them by how they look or speak or act. The truth is, we do not know what is going on in their lives. We all have our stuff, our "things" that we struggle with or fight with. I need to give "grace" at all times to all people. I so need God's grace for myself. I know my own sinfulness and I need to give grace to other people as I beg to have it myself. Our preacher, Michael Harbour is an excellent speaker and tweaker of the heart. Thank you Michael for your thoughts and asking us not to throw rocks at people but to drop our rocks. "Jesus has come to bring salvation and not condemnation." This is not to say that ...

“If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.”C. S. Lewis Thank you Generation Cedar http://www.generationcedar.com/main/ for putting these words before us today! "Father please help us to think about heaven and long to be there. Help us to long for it so much that we cannot be quiet about it."

I went to our ladies retreat last night and this was one of the things I saw: Tammy (my sweet, hilarious, talented friend), did her own rendition of "He's Got You" by Patsy Cline. Fun stuff. The video below is of someone else doing this song. Pretty funny. Hope you get a Saturday smile from watching it. It is sunny here and beautiful. I'm thinking about digging in the dirt a little. Blessings on your day. Love, Amy

You received the Spirit of son ship. And by Him we cry, "Abba Father." The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Romans 8:15-16 Comforting words. And I need them. Why am I so needy at times in my life? Not needy as in a whinny, talkie, needy with people kind of way but... a thirsty...dry heart? The only thing that can quench this need is God. Why is it that we can't all just cruise along on even keel? Why do I have to keep learning over and over that I need to stay close to Him? Closer and closer. Satan sure messes with me when I neglect being in the Word. I am needy. This move has wiped me out. Going through the motions while not giving God the proper time in my life has made me a shell of a person and not a very nice one. Studying God's Word turns my upside down heart and life back right side up. I am thankful. Right now though, my heart is troubled about the details of my life. Am I doing enough for God, am I too comfortable and b...
