On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

blind


A friend and I were talking at lunch. She mentioned a couple at the church. We both love this couple. I mentioned that I was not happy about the male friends stand on abortion. He thinks it is okay to kill the unborn. My mind went to Jesus saying suffer not the little children to come unto me. Then my mind wandered to shedding innocent blood is preached against plainly and how what the male church goer says is okay is compounded in evil two ways: The innocent person being killed and the fact that it is the mother who is killing her own child. A mother killing her own child is not a natural act. That goes against every bone in our body.

I murmured out loud that I don’t understand how he could be a real Christian.  We are to look after orphans and widows – not kill them. Even imagining Jesus standing in front of that man and hearing that man saying to Jesus that he didn’t realize that killing the unborn was wrong. How could he NOT know if he has the Holy Spirit inside of him?!?

My friend always says that we don’t know their hearts. Really?!? He said point blank that he sees no evil there. We speak what is in our heart don’t we?

So a couple of issues here.

Don’t true Christians have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside them, instructing them?

I know that we can be mislead but eventually we should come to see, act, and be truth – right?

At that church they are so into their rituals I fear that they are missing the important part – Jesus.
