Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too. Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway. We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20. We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
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?

Wow Cindy, beautiful and challenging post. Thank you for that. I cannot imagine what God could do if we all really took that seriously. We would live in a different world.

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!!!!
