Discovered a few things about myself lately. I have been staying alone for awhile just thinking about life and how it takes twists and turns. What kind of life do I want to live? Today, I was asked to help out in the nursery at church once a month. I don't really like children that much to be honest with you and I told my husband the other day that I don't really want to have children either. Well, on this very day I am thinking that I am pregnant. What's up with that? I kind of hope that I am not pregnant but, don't you think there is a reason why the Lord keeps trying to have me spend time with so many children. Is it to prepare me for being a mother one day? Not sure but, I know that I am precocious about the whole situation.

A Change In Direction

I realized today that my mind can go a million miles a minute or what seems like a million miles a minute that is. I was thinking about the deaths of those precious people who contributed so greatly to the Yankees team over the years. From the owner of the Yankees sudden death to the announcer for the Yankees. So, here's what I have been told about these two very different men. On the one side, the owner of the Yankees was an incredibly unkind and mean man who swindled his people and caused countless arguments and heartaches (in my opinion only) but, on the opposite side the announcer for the Yankees was a strong and courageous Christian man (which is also in my opinion). Which one do you think will be remembered the most? Do we as humans only remember the bad people or do we as humans remember those who were kind and did us well? After they're gone, what will be remembered most? The bible says that we are to lay for ourselves treasures in heaven and not here on earth. God left a legacy through His word, the Bible, telling us of those who laid treasures for themselves up in heaven i.e David, Paul, Jacob, Joshua, Joseph, Peter, etc. It is my belief that we remember those who did good to us and treated us fairly in life after they are gone and are grateful to them for treating us fairly while they are here. Yes, I know we as humans can dwell on the negative towards a friend, companion, helpmate, or anyone but, in the end when all is said and done I believe we remember those who treated us well and wish to honor the memory of that person more so than the memory of the person who treated us poorly.

The Basics

Have you ever thought about what people believe? What is religion? What is belief? What is the meaning of life? Every person believes something! That is something to think about. I have recently been studying the differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and Christians. Whose belief is correct? Are we going to stay on this earth or are we going to heaven to live with God? These are major differences. Why can't Jehovah Witnesses get a blood transfusion and Christians can? These are some questions and goals that I wish to answer over the first few posts. I wish to progress forward to other religions as well including Islam, Buddhism, Hindu, and many others. I hope and pray for direction and am wishing to go forward.
