The Hobby Lobby Decision

I really don't see the difference between the two, but I still need to think about it. Having never questioned there being a God, I don't know what that feels like.

We are such flawed people, I can't blame that on God. Mainly, because I've been in enough prayer meetings, had many of my own, to know that when your heart lines up (humbled) toward God, we are very good people toward each other. Too bad we don't live in a perpetual state of prayer.

The worst experience in the world is to bump heads with a Christian full of hateful pride. It's actually like meeting a murder, IMO. Just my observation.

I remember Nona Freeman saying that she walked into a church and was astonished by what she felt. She said, "God! What is this?!" He responded, "Perfect unity". How interesting, at her age, and everywhere she has gone to teach and preach, she didn't feel that very often.

I try to read my Bible through every year. Some years I only read the NT. Last year I read both OT and NT. For the first time on reading the OT, I kept thinking, "Good grief people! Get your act together!". It was never God's fault these people were selfish and stupid.

Me too! I have five pieces of furniture to finish in two weeks. Lots of detail. I've been working on them between posts.

Wow - that's a lot of furniture to be finishing! I don't have the patience to do much of it. I know your work is amazing, I've seen the pictures of furniture that you've painted that you've posted.

I'll try. Drinking a cup of coffee, reading the news, looking to my left to get motivated on getting busy today. Time is running short and I am dragging my feet.

Here is one piece I already sold. French Shabby Chic. I like high gloss!



Don't have the other items staged yet, so I'll post them when I get back.

Laters!
