Some people just don't get it.


I saw this "Demotivator" as they're called and it made me laugh. Partly because of the self-esteem and individuality kick our country has been on the past few decades we don't accurately see our place. It's just like the sinful nature we each harbour inside. We tend to think that we are more important than we really are.

Romans 12:3 says ... "Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you."(NIV)

I wish all Christians lived this out, and that goes for me too. I often find myself needing a large dose of humility from the Lord.
Happy Thanksgiving!

3rd Wedding Anniversary Getaway!




My wife and I were able to get a babysitter for D and get away to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary at a quaint Bed & Breakfast in the rural lands of Michigan. The house we stayed in was built in 1834 and was quite lavish but updated with modern amenities. It was a blessing to be able to go on this short trip. Becky & I enjoyed it greatly and D did well away from us. So everybody won.
