How interesting!
Sustainability- not just related to our environment but having to do with the lifespan of the product and company...

the love of money
I read an article that I think may illustrate amazingly the passage that we are memorizing. On the other hand, the whole situation in Somalia makes me sad. I know people are desperate.
I am not going say I know that the pirate who drowned with $153,000 of ransom money in his pocket was being judged by God... but its hard not to assume that, and it is likely. The only ones who survived the storm lost their money in the water. Read the article though.
And God's Word says:
1 Timothy 6:6-10
6Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment, 7for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. 8But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 9But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

His ways are higher than ours!
I changed the title (from He IS good). Because God giving Zoe to Dan and Casey does not make Him good. He is good and we just understand this goodness better than the goodness in Asher dying.
Im also adding photos!!
So, remember my friends Dan and Casey? They lost their baby, Asher, soon after he was born. I have been constantly encouraged by their faith, honesty and trust in God as they grieve.
Now they have a baby girl! It all happened very very fast. Less than two weeks ago they were applying for adoption, then a birth mother chose them last week and yesterday she gave birth to Zoe Elizabeth!
Read the stories! Be encouraged! He is at work and His timing is perfect. This is why I am pro-life.

I love politics
(right from the start, lets clarify that the title is all sarcasm)
Although, I have been more encouraged recently and despairing less after reading a good article and listening to a good sermon. They both helped me know how to approach the election.
To summarize: we should not panic about not having the perfect presidential candidate, but we should pray for both to be good leaders AND love Jesus! And we should pray that babies do not get aborted AND that the poor are taken care of. And we should not base our joy on the person we think would make the best president being elected, neither should we despair if the other guy gets elected. God is God and He is sovereign weather the world falls apart or holds toegether! How great is that!? God's ordains good and bad leaders and none of them are saviors. Jesus is our Savior.

friday night fun
A co-worker asked me today if I was going out tonight. "No... I am babysitting" This may have sounded lame to her, especially since I am single and live downtown and way beyond babysitting age. But I was actually just as excited about this friday night as I have been about many fun parties and First Fridays downtown. It's because I got to be with some of my favorite kids. here is a link to the Cordell's blog. You can't tell how fun they are from looking, but just imagine. :) Read their adoption story! It's beautiful.
So after the boys were in bed I was playing with Mercy downstairs. I decided I should sing with her. She is one of my Sunday School kids who never comes (she naps instead) so I try to make up for it when I see her. So we sang Jesus Loves Me. I mean, of course I sang it. But the fun part was the look on her face. She stopped squirming and reaching for my hair and sat still for the whole song. And at first I thought she was contemplating the theological signifigance of being loved by the King of the universe. (I pray she will one day) Then I thought maybe that was a look of confusion and dissapointment at the sound of my voice compared to her mommy's, (she really looked at me like "are you singing to me? you're kidding" :) Either way, she heard truth and we had fun together.
