Radical, Chapter 1

Wow, I really don't know where to start.  I feel like there was so much information in just the one chapter that I could be sitting here for days.


I love the way he breaks it down into two questions.


Do you believe Jesus?




Will you obey Jesus?




I read a question by someone (I think it was Billy Graham), who asked, Do we make  being a Christian look too easy?


I think we have become so caught up in ourselves and in worldly things that we have forgotten what we are here for.  Sometime, we should take what Jesus says at face value.  There will be things we are asked to do as Christians that may not be easy for us, but that's why the bible constantly tells us he will never leave you or forsake you.


If we believe him when he says he loves us and will never leave us, why is it so hard to do what he wants us to do.


I do not think that God wants me to hate my parents and only love him, I think he is telling me that he should come first in my life, always.  


Have we turned away from Jesus?  I would say Yes, definitely.  Just take a look at your television screens, look around at what has become accepted as "normal".  Unfortunately, the more you try to obey Jesus, then the more you are singled out, and you in turn become the odd one.


We need to remember that sometimes not making a choice, is making a choice.


I definitely feel like I should be doing more, but then I don't really know what I should be doing?  Maybe that's why it feels like I'm not doing enough, I haven't found exactly what I should be doing yet.  


Oh well, join the Radical read along here!

Big "C"

This started out as just your average bulletin board, but then I decided to do something else with it.

Here is how it started out.

Then I added this C, with a little spray paint, and some Gorilla Glue

and this is how it came out. 

I thought it turned out pretty good.

Sunday Scripture

Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear.  "All of you listen," he said, "and try to understand.  Your souls aren't harmed by what you eat, but by what you think and say."

Mark 7:14-16

Who likes to cook?

I don't know about you but I love a cooking show.  Especially a cooking show where any Joe Blow off the street can come in and show just how talented he is.


Have you seen Master Chef?

It is awesome, people from all walks of life have put their lives on hold to fulfill a dream of becoming a Master chef.


It is now down to the final four.

They are all great, I do love Whitney because she is from the south, but they are all great!


Who else loves a good cooking show?

Checks and balances

When you work at church sometimes, actually more times than you might think, people can surprise you.


This week we were blessed with some visitors, and on the info line of the check, they wrote
Psalm 121.


It's titled A song for going to worship.

I look up to the hills,

but where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 121: 1,2

How cool is that?  I didn't write out the whole Psalm just the first few verses.
