BFF code laughter

To this day only a select very few know what the code name BHA means.. VERY FEW.  It was created by my two good friends Diane and Sarah...it was offically started in the 5th grade.  It became a tope secret file and we added really funny things to it... over the years, we remind eacher other of the code and all the things involved with it (i.e. the funny memories)... and we have a real good time laughing about it.

 

Do you have funny memories that you can look back on and they still make you laugh? if so do they lighten your mood and lift your spirits?  I'll be talking more about this on friday. until then, post a funny memory:....

Funny Moments...

Its always good to laugh...  hope you get a few chuckles out of this... we will be talking later on this week about the importance of laughing.

Locker Combinations and Living as a Believer

My coworker, the other day, had something of mine in his locker.  I asked for his combination ... and his answer was "I dunno.. I just turn the padlock out of habbit... I think its..."

This got me thinking ... what if we are like this in our daily lives as a Believer and Follower in the Lord Jesus... we are so use to the motions that we forgot the deeper concept of it, or what the actually answers are to our problems.

So this is a simple analogy to share with you, but to apply it to my life it made me think even harder.

Very Important:  I get so caught up with life that I start losing my joy...and when I'm singing hymns of praise and worship... am I singing it because I know it well and it sounds pretty?  Those words... they usually are powerful... to stop and think about it, changes some perspective...

So my challenge is to you that you don't grow knumb to what you've learned, be open and alert.. don't do things out of habbit.

biannual church: EASTER ADVENTURE

As a small child, I didn't go to church much.. here and there.  But there is one year I remember going on an Easter Sunday. 

I brought my stuffed Easter bunny that the Easter bunny brought himself to my basket in my living room.  It came with me to church.  I think I was in preschool or kindergarten and I didn't know anybody.  I started crying... A LOT!  I remember the teacher asking if I put my bunny aside and I cried harder... I ended up staying really quiet due to the agreement that the teacher let me keep my bunny in my lap.  I don't remember too much, but what I DO remember was coloring a picture of Jesus coming out of the grave and I made it really colorful.

I thought this Jesus was a little different than what I had ever heard, and the picture was interesting to me... of course I didn't think much more about it at that age, but it did stick with me.

So those who go to as many functions as possible with a church three times a week, more power to ya.  But even those who visit on holidays like Easter and Christmas:  you are stepping into an adventure that will stick with you.  It did for me... it got me intrigued.
