Well to me....
It means ....
No workout.
And grading the driveway.
And barbequing for my family.
It means....
Three beers.
And 3 pieces of apple pie with ice cream.
And no church.
It means....
21 degrees and sunshine.
And playing with my grandchildren.
And enjoying the fabulous outdoors that the creator has made.
And best of all...
It means being grateful for it all, without any guilt!!!
It has taken me the majority of my adult life to stop believing I'm going to burn in hell just because of a lack of conviction that a man named Jesus died for my sins. But I think I'm finally there. The crazy thing is that I don't think I ever believed it, but the powerful, daily, unrelenting, incessant, childhood brainwashing still carried such weight. And my parents were good people. They really were!
Life is good! Thank you Lord!!

well said my friend!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteHey! You know I'll disagree with some part of this post 'cause I believe what you don't. And that's OK with both of us. although we still need to have that chat about it sometime. I'm pretty sure we can come to some agreement about what's important in life -- the beauty of creation, our families and the love of them -- you know, that sort of thing. I'm grateful for the same things you are, but my beliefs have freed me from the guilt if felt before. Weird world, huh?
