February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in. I finally purchased a new monthly focus board. We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good! My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy! My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just
Are we rooted in Christ?
Food for thought:
STATS: The average Christian spends 10 minutes a day with Christ. The average American spend 4 hours a day watching TV.
God doesn't want religious duty. He doesn't want a distracted, half hearted, "Fine, I'll read a chapter....now are you happy? attitude. God wants His Word to DELIGHT us, so much so that we meditate on it day and night.
In Psalm 1 He promises that those who do so are "Like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither; whatever He does prospers. (vs 3)
Statement made in the book called Crazy Love: People who are obsessed with God have an intimate relationship with Him.
Question for us would be? What kind of relationship do we have with Christ?

I really like your post today! What a great picture the bible paints for us bei g a tree that is rooted, producing fruit & not withering-that is how I want my life to be described!! Most days I am anxious & excited to dive into his word, other days I may not "fee" like it but I know that those are the days I "need" God's words the most!!!!
