Values with Jesus Christ

Since when I became a Christian, making a commitment to living for Jesus Christ and of legal age to drink alcohol beverages I have had very little amounts of alcohol. As a follower of Jesus Christ I believe that drinking alcohol is not a place for believers following Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit direction. I have read some information on should Christians drink alcohol beverages. The Holy Spirit can not work in ones life when there is alcohol involved in ones life. I find it very confussing when I am in the presents of people who claim to be Christians who go to Church on a regular bases and see that they are consuming some kind of alcohol beverage. Do these people think it is ok to have alcoholic drinks no matter who they are present with? Do they have any values in their walk with Jesus Christ? For myself I could not change my values on the alcohol consumption more due to the fact that alcohol drinks can lead to so many wrong decisions in life and can turn your life up-side down. Alcohol does not belong in a Christians walk with Jesus Christ even if Jesus drank wine himself. That was the culture then and the water was not good to drink. I would hope and pray that people would see what they are doing to themselves first and second their witness to non-believers when it comes to alcohol consumption.

No Sympathy

I am posting this on my blog because nobody does read this. I have been struggling with such a bad cold this week that I have wondered am I ever going to feel better and have the energy I need for the day. This has to be one my nastiest colds I might ever have had were it relates to coughing. The coughing makes my head hurt.

I think I could be on my death bed and nobody would realize that I would be sick. This is sure sad when nobody acknowledges that your feeling lousy and that they would respond and say hope you will feel better soon. No acknowledgement on my facebook. Makes me feel like really living, and that people care, not.

A Day of Things

Winter and Drivers:
Well this day started with it snowing. Me and the children had breakfast and then it was time for my daughter to go to school. Well I walk her half way and when we got to the intersection and she could cross over with a crossing guard, a vehicle that was suppose to have stoped at the stop sign was half way through the intersection. Well the driver did drive a little ways and then stoped to let me know she was slidding. Well this driver should have been driving according to the conditions of the street and weather. Plus paying attention to the stop signs. It really bothers me that drivers can not obey the law when it comes to the intersection of our street when it comes to needing to stop. Too many drivers just drive through and this intersection is a school crossing zone.

Children that Stare:
A child from my children's school likes to stare and it really bothers my son, plus I don't like it either. Well today I ask this child if he had a problem with us and he said no. Well I told him not to stare at us because it is very rude.
Why do some children think they need to stare?

May the Lord work in these people that do these things and may my children and myself learn from these situations as well.

New year goals

I would rather aim for certain goals throughout the year rather then make a New Years resolution. So for my goals this year would be:
- exercise to stay physical fit.
- read The Bible daily.
- work at my relaionship with my personal savior.
- continue to work at my relationships with my husband and children.
These may not be in the order that needs to be worked at, but my goals.
With the promise of God's presence and help I can move ahead throughout the year.

Shall not He who led me safely
Through the footsteps of this day
Lead with equal understanding
All along my future way?
