Verse of the Day: “When word of their inquiry got to Herod, he was terrified—and not Herod alone, but most of Jerusalem as well. Herod lost no time. He gathered all the high priests and religion scholars in the city together and asked, “Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?” They told him, “Bethlehem, Judah territory. The prophet Micah wrote it plainly: It’s you, Bethlehem, in Judah’s land, no longer bringing up the rear. From you will come the leader who will shepherd-rule my people, my Israel.”” Matthew 2:4-6 MSG

Things that are awesome: ... My bunny.  (well technically, he's my sisters, but I've been taking care of him since she left for college years ago).  He is so friendly- he stands up against the side of his pen in the garage whenever I call him, and contentedly sniffs and closes his eyes when I hold him and watch tv.  He eats more fresh fruit than I do, and is quite energetic for his old age. Yeah pets!!

Things that are awesome: Mailing suprise packages to people you miss a lot...I can't name names (it would ruin the suprise), but a friend of mine moved away earlier this year and I've missed him a ton ever since.  I decided to suprise him and send him a package for Christmas... Picking out what to send and going to the post office today lifted my spirits a little. I hope the package lifts his too.

Verse of the Day: ““I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” John 15:5,8 NIV

Things that are awesome: ... The way God keeps trying to reach people, even when they are running from Him.... I just watched the movie "Sparkle," the last movie Whitney was in before she died of cocaine use, and in the movie she was cast as a Christian mother, trying to raise her daugheters to respect God.  In it, she sings in a church choir, and performs the song "His eye is on the Sparrow," which talks about how God is wathing out for people.  Its amazing to me how, even though Whitney's life was clearly out of control, she got this part at the end of her life that was totally an opportunity to reconnect with God and be a witness for Him.  Even after all of her running, He was trying to reach her.  What an awesome kind of love!!
