a thought...

So I recieved a book from my parents for Christmas by Sheri Dew and I finished it the other day. It's called "God Wants A Powerful People". There were many good things in this book but one especially struck me:
"In today's world, there are too many good people with no conviction, and too many evil people filled with conviction. The world is crying out for true leadership-which is why these are the days in which a true leader wants to live, for the opportunities to change lives and even destinies are enless.....never has there been a greater need for men and women who know what they believe, who speak and defend truth, who stand by their convictions, and who lead others to do likewise."
When I hear things like this or am atleast reminded of this, I get so excited! Seriously, what a grand time to be on earth! Yeah, the stakes are high, but we are here because God knew we could do it if we tried....tried our best! Dang, it's seriously awesome to have the gospel of Jesus Christ and know it is true and know it makes a difference in my life when I live it and know it can make a difference for others! I just love it!

It is nice to see you are also part of the blogging world. I just love your sweet family! Ben is getting so big. I love your dialogue between you and Ben. Luke is starting to form sentences now; it alwasy catches me by surpirse. Today I was holding him and he said "Put me down please" I was shocked! He is becoming a little boy right before my eyes.
Thanks for Sharing your thought on the book. I am acutally looking for another book to read. Happy New Year
