Long past few days, but praise God productive ones We had some bad weather yesterday so didn't go to Bloomington to see Leapers or my cousin and her daughter Was very bummed for it would have been a great lil trip and of course meeting one of my lil sis from Oasis! We get together another time and I see if I can help get stuff together for the May gathering.
I forgot this week was the start of Lent. Today in church they talked about this being the day that Jesus revealed himself as Son of God to some of the disciples. And Elijah and Moses appeared? I would've been freaked. I think it's called Transfiguration Day or something? (Mackie help me out here sis if you read this). They have Lenten services on Wed night at my new church which I'm glad. My old church had neat Easter services (very "contemporary") but didn't really place a lot on the time leading up to the resurrection. I remember an old friend of mine used to say he celebrated more on Good Friday for that was when he really saw what God did for us.
So here we go... thinking about what do I, or we, give up as sacrifice? Well I think some people do that every day as a willful thing, not as something that NEEDS to be done (am not knocking any particular denom here)... trying to keep my sacrifice to stay as much in the world and not of it, and never to think I could match the ultimate sacrifice He made for us.
Wow time is almost up here, can't wait to get my puter back Till next time...
