Garage Sale

I had a thought this morning as I was cleaning some items I am getting ready for a garage sale this weekend. Jesus told the young ruler to sell all he had and follow Him.  Now I know I may be stretching my idea a little far... but every time I collect a bunch of stuff to get rid of, I always have the thought wouldn't it be nice to try to sell it first and see if we can at least collect a few dollars for it?  Now, I know the story of the rich young ruler is trying to show the cost of following Jesus and what it means to be a true disciple of His...but the idea I had this morning was Jesus didn't tell the ruler to "get rid of" his stuff, He told him to "sell" it. So maybe it's not such a bad idea after all not to just donate our stuff but to try to get money for it...

Just food for thought...

Relationships

It's already been a week since I posted...crazy how fast time flies. This morning, I spent some time getting ready for my lesson tonight with my group of 8th grade girls at church.  Had some good thoughts to pass along to them...they are going to be reading a lot of Scripture this year, I can already tell! :) We are learning about Relationships this year - how first of all, the most important relationship we will ever have is with God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and then how when we have that relationship in order, all other relationships will be in order, as well.  It's going to be a good year with them. So excited for tonight...

Okay, I think I found it...

So I think after all this time that I finally figured out how to post a new blog on here. So we'll take it from here and see how it goes! :)
