Vanity

Here is a poem I wrote after watching a stupid tabloid show. I should not have watched it.. I know better. So, here ya go Lindsay L and Mel Gibson.  And all the other people, Hollywood or not, who think they are above the law or more importantly living without one thought about what God thinks, Romans 10:3-For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God..  We all get self absorbed at times. We all sin, we all make mistakes. Romans 3:23-For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God .I thank God that through his mercy there is forgivness and a fresh start for those who seek him.Titus 3:5 --Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us...Sin comes with consequences, Proverbs 13:15... But the way of the trangressor is hard and Romans 6:23-For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. However, we can obtain mercy and strength through God if we ask.  Hebrews 11:6- But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I am glad that God offers us an out to our sin our pride and vanity. He's put it in his word and we can get victory over it through prayer and submission to his word. Even for Linsday and Mel G. I know it's something that I am praying about for myself  in my life. I need more submission to God's word and less worrying about what others think about me, if I do.  All that matters is what God thinks about me, so if THAT is vanity too, so be it. I want to hear "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" someday.



Vanity

Why can' t you see,
It's all about me?
There is nothing in life
more important than me.

I see my beauty and need
constant praise.
All that I do
is on constant display.


If you reach out to me,
I am too busy to see.
The things that you need,
They won't concern me.


My life is just this -
It's for all to see.
There is nothing more important
Than my vanity.

Speak To Me, Dear Lord

Speak to me like a gentle breeze
And let my spirit soar.
Speak to me loud and clear,
Just like a lion's roar.


Keep my heart soft and tender
As you work on me each day.
Let the cares of the day
Quickly leave and fade away

I Won! I Won! --Again!!

I've done other posts on this author before, on my old blog.  I really enjoy her books. I entered another of her contests and won an early released copy. This is book three in her Seasons in Sugar Creek Trilogy I hate to see it end. It's due to hit the book stands in August. But I am sure she has another series in the works. Right Shelley? As I've said before I just love her books. They are very a good read.   You can see all of her books by clicking HERE  Shelley, when is the actual release date?  I am anxiously keeping an eye on my mail box. LOL.  Thanks, Shelley!

Blog Changes

I am still in the process of tweaking my blog to my liking. So far, this week, I have added a chat box. My Swagbucks link  (Sure would like more folks to sign up and earn points--hint hint.. It's free, ya know). Now, I've added a link to keep track of our blistering weather. You can find it below my chat box.

I am still deciding what I want to do with the color.  Should I leave it plaid like it is, or get a solid purple? I would like a different blog title and am still asking for suggestions. Anyone have one?

What Do You Do When It's 124 Outside?

You go for a walk! We went for a walk around our community lake (big pond). Ok, it was only 122 when we went for the walk. IT WAS HOT!! We got halfway around the lake when Mackenzie and I started to feel a little ill--go figure.
