Home Improvements

I have been heavily absorbed over the past several weeks in home improvement projects. Last weekend I spent ( with the help of two very generous friends) installing 500 sq feet of laminate flooring in my house. WOW what a change. If you ever have the chance to do this it is a failry simple project as home improvement projects go and really looks sharp. Next task, ceramic tile... any suggestions?

Self Centered

I was painting the house the weekend and discovered the depth of God’s forgiveness. While in the middle of my project there was a knock at the door. There were two Mormon missionaries at the door. I quickly informed them that I was not interested; after all I was in the middle of painting the living room and did not feel like stopping for a philosophical discussion. After they left God hit me hard between the eyes. He presents me with two young men who are deceived by Satan’s ploys and what do I do I turn them away to paint my house. I could just as easily let them in and talked while I painted. The reality was I was more concerned with my inconvenience than their eternal destination. Would the deception veiling their heart have been revealed if I took time to talk to them? Probably not, but it certainly will not now. I simply pray that God will place someone in their path that is willing to take the time to talk to them and show them the truth. I know my Father has forgiven my self-centeredness but it does truly amaze me that he is willing to use imperfect vessels. Thank you Lord, for your gift of salvation and for the incredible depth of your love.

My son wanted an apple to eat so I got one out of the kitchen. I few minutes latter I hear something being thrown at the wall in his room. Fearing the worst I tell him not to throw the apple at the wall. He quickly responds "I didn't throw my apple daddy, I threw the sun screen."
