Laina's "New" Bike





As part of Laina's 5th birthday present I went and bought some training wheels and handlebar accessories so that she could make Laurin's old bike her own. A little air in the tires and she was ready to go. You've got to love her sense of fashion too.

Because They Hate

This past weekend at church I had the opportunity to listen to a Lebanese Christian woman speak. She lived through the hostile takeover of her country by radical Muslims in the 70s and now sees the same signs that it could happen here too.

If you have the time, I urge you to visit her website and see what you as a citizen of the US can do to defend our country from radical Islam. Visit http://americancongressfortruth.com/

To listen to her speaking at our church you can download sermon notes, audio files or video files here http://www.rez.org/content/view/646/165/

Contests

I have never entered a contest this way, but what the heck. I have a pair of shorts and a sports bra for a bathing suit, so a customized one from Lands End would be fun.

5 Things I Dig About Jesus

Shauna tagged me on her blog, so here are my answers. Of course there are so many more reasons, but these stuck out as I was thinking of what to write.


1. He is not selfish at all. He shares so much--His blood, His spirit, His power, His birthright, His word, His creation, and the list goes on.

2. He will never leave me nor forsake me.

3. Jesus gives us second chances, and third chances, and fourth chances, and 77X7 chances.

4. He was tempted in every way we have been tempted so that He can show us mercy and grace, and He showed us how to face temptation without sinning.

5. He was willingly tortured, spit on, heckled, speared, and crucified so that I could have a relationship with Him.

(As I'm looking at these I feel a bit ashamed that they are all about what Jesus has done for me, but the bible does say, "We love because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19)
