There is Only One Good News

This morning, as I was reading my Bible, I noticed the "title" of a section in Galatians, "There is Only One Good News." It made me stop and think for just a moment. How often do we, especially in our westernized culture, get so caught up in the things of life that we forget the simplicity of the Gospel and the Love of Jesus Christ. I mean, it's amazing how intricate and awesome, and deep the Good News is, yet it is so simple in it's nature...For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life(John 3:16). In reading further, recognizing the goodness of God, "for it pleased God in his kindness to choose me and call me, even before I was born! What undeserved mercy!"(Galatians 1:15). The love of God knows no bounds, no conditions, no mistakes, no qualifications- it's the simplest and yet the most profound of all loves. Thank God there is only One Good News...

Christmas Spirit

so, late last night I unplugged the Christmas tree, thinking, "hm....this is wasting electricity. No one is awake, and it's really bright being on." Today, my husband asked in a sort of irritated/disappointed tone, "why is the Christmas tree off?" insinuating that I have no Christmas spirit, and I told him my thoughts about electricity... It's funny, because I don't normally get into all the save the earth, recycle everything in your household, take 5 min showers, etc, but in the middle of the night, my concern is the tree lights using electricity. Don't get me wrong. I think recycling is great, and that we should be conscious of the earth, and do our part to make it better for our kids... just struck me as odd that my first thought in the night was about saving our resources.

So, I'm turning the tree back on...because I do have Christmas spirit... and it's dark in here.

Creation

Just the other day, I was talking on the phone with a new friend discussing blogs. I realized that I thoroughly enjoy reading them, and that I believe I would also enjoy writing them. I made a decision in that moment that I would start my own blog. Regardless of whether or not others choose to read, it will be a release for my creative soul-a place to let out the things I hold inside. A place to give insight, or rant and rave...so, here goes Profound(or not) Somethings...
