I was writing the last post when I saw this in my drafts. Call me crazy but I think it’s quite interesting.
I’ve determined that Faith and Christianity are like a “Magic Eye” picture. I know you have all heard of those. Just work with me a minute….
Believers can see this thing that is virtually invisible to those who do not believe. They can look at this “picture” and see something else that others can’t. The unbelievers can stare at the “picture” forever and never see it and eventually get discouraged because the believers can and they can’t. This then leads to bitterness and resentment towards the believers when all the unbelievers need to do is ask the believers how to see it and then once they take the step to try to see it, it will then become known to them. They too, can see the “picture” and hopefully become a believer.

Yard work
04.11
Lately, since the time change and nice weather Justin and I have made it a goal to get our yard looking nicer. So far we’ve weeded and mulched the front of our house. Yesterday we planted hostas between the bushes we had planted earlier. We also scattered some impatients in the area. Yesterday, mostly Justin, finished the left side of our sidewalk area with mulch and hostas. We still need to get a few more bags of mulch to finish the other side and do some touch ups.
We have also burned a little brush on the left back side of our property. Our dream is to fix up the yard and ditch area so it will be a nice area down by the creek for Java to play and us to sit and enjoy. Hopefully this week Justin and our neighbor Roy will rent a tractor of some sort and finish the job so we can burn it all up. I can’t wait to get home today and start burning some more.
My family is coming on Saturday for Easter. I can’t wait to see everyone. Especially the star of the show, Walker. Can you believe he is almost 8 months old?
I hope everyone has been enjoying the weather like we have.
Can I get a Bullhonky!

I just found this article when skimming through today’s news articles. I cannot believe the things scientists will say to get their fifteen minutes of fame (so to speak). It’s so sad people feel they need to have physical/scientific proof for everything (all the answers). It’s even more sad to think we are worthy enough to have that information. Jesus is my Savior and what He tells me I believe. This thing called Faith is what God commands of us. Faith is believing what might not be seen because it is asked of us. God has never given me a reason not to believe Him. And to think that Jesus/God is any less than what He is and that He is some kind of hoax is ridiculous. God made the Heavens and the Earth. He creates every breath we take and every bat of an eyelash. Who says he can’t make someone walk on WATER. I hope this has made you just as upset as me. What is this world coming to? And even that, is predicted in the Bible by God!

Our Poor Man’s Supper was a huge success! Thank you to all who attended and donated time and money to help us out. We were able to make close to $5000 which puts us close to the $10,000 mark (halfway). A special thank you to Lorraine for doing all those dishes!!! We REALLY appreciated that.
Our next fundraisers include a lunch after the service on a Sunday in May and a babysitting night on May 5th from 5-10pm. The youth is also having a car wash and the money will go to our Mission Trip fund.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers as well.
