For my blog



Take UP Your Cross


Prompt:
In Luke 10:38-41 we find Mary and Martha. Martha is complaining because Mary is listening to Jesus and not helping Martha prepare dinner. Jesus says that Mary is doing the right thing sitting at His feet. Are you sitting at Jesus's feet? How?

Answer:
I like to think I do. I’d rather be embraced in his arms, but I will take what I can get just to be in his presence. 😉 I am at his feet or in his presence always, especially when I am having my nightly devotion time. Oh, to be so much closer to him! The Bible also says he inhabits our praise.

PROMPT May 27th

Write about your first _______. (You fill in the blank. Ex: first car, first job, first crush, first week at college, etc)

At 44, I have had a lot of firsts, and hope to have more. I think I am going to go with a more recent one. I had always hoped to be in a bowling league but had never felt like I was good enough to do that. Well, when I was 40, that all changed. I would do it again if I felt healthy enough. It was fun.

My roommate has a teenaged niece. Her brother/ niece’s father went looking for an activity he could do with her over the summer. He looked into bowling leagues because some allow youth to earn college scholarships. He ran across one called 9-pin no-tap. This league was designed for youth and adults both, but you only had to knock over 9 pins to get a strike. They called for 4 people on a team. So my roommate’s brother asked me and my roommate if we would be interested in doing that league with him and his daughter. Since you didn't have to be a pro-bowler to do it, we kind up jumped at the opportunity.

After that league was over, me and my roommate’s brother went on to do a sanctioned league. I am glad I had the experience. I am still no pro, but my skill improved a lot. I even learned how to put a curve to the ball as it is going down the lane. I think the highest score I ever got was a 172. Somehow I managed to earn an achievement token the Bowling Ally gives out for a high average. That was awesome!

Prompt: What film makes you happy?

As in Movie? I don't watch a lot of tv. I watch movies occasionally but not all the time. The movie I really like is utterly ridiculous. I like the movie, “Cry Baby”. It has Johnny Depp in it. It is so stupid, I find it funny.

What do you think?

I think we should look at our relationship with Christ from a perspective of a significant other. The Bible compares the relationship of the Christian with Christ to that of a husband and wife. The closest description we get to describe God's love is that of a spouse.

Now consider how God must feel when we turn our backs on him, when we are silent, or when we check out another “religion”. This is how the Nation of Israel is described in the Old Testament as they pursued other gods and worshipped them. God was hurt and as a result angry and offended. The nation of Israel suffered as a result.

I have no way of knowing how many people reading this have ever truly been “in love”. Those that have been, will understand what I am about to say. For the rest, let me see if I can describe it to a point. It is a very intense, strong feeling of desire to be with another person. It is wanting to experience a heated passion so strong it is hard to resist. The other person is just about all you can think about. You can't get enough of them. With everything you do, you are thinking of that person. They make you feel complete. Without that person, your heart is devastated and broken. In a sense, you pursue that person with everything in you.

Guys, this is how God wants to be loved by you. He wants us to pursue him with everything in us. He wants us to talk to him and spend time with him. He wants us to think about him all the time. He doesn't want us to feel complete without him. He wants us to be devastated by sin as it separates you from him. He wants everything you do to be done for him. What passionate love our Heavenly Father has for us!

Please discuss the weather in your area. Are you experiencing different weather from years past or is it the basically the same? Like for us here, these is the third time this month we've had tornado warnings. We've not had them before. Our sky was a crazy green with lots of wind when the alerts came.

Here in Oklahoma today, we have an enhanced risk for tornadoes. We already have storms firing up to the north. We are watching our weather today. Otherwise we haven't had a lot of tornadoes this year. I was hoping tornado season forgot to show up this year.
