Good Times

So last night we went to the movies and then dinner with our friends Jennie & Justin. The movie was good. We saw Legion. I personally think they could have done without all the foul language but other than that, good film. Then we went to The French Quarter for dinner. My drink was less than most places, that's the only good thing I have to say. Maybe we'll go again and try something else and be impressed.

Today is painting day. Jennie informed me she does nothing on Wednesday and she loves to paint. I will be putting her to work. ;} Also the electrician is coming to move the 1950s electric panel out of the kitchen that way we can put a microwave there and continue working on the kitchen redo. Also the vice president of the hurricane impact window is coming to show us how he can "drastically" reduce the $2500 price of the 1 window we need put in. Seriously, $2500 for one window. I vote we just leave the window unit in after the central air is installed.

Well gotta get into my paint clothes!

Here's Pastor Hersch:

But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. Romans 6:22 Are you happy with the way that you are right now? Are there things in your life you would like to see dramatically altered? Perhaps, like many other people, you made bold resolutions when the new year rolled around. You made plans regarding what changes you wanted to make in the coming year. But it’s a month or so later and those great resolutions have come to nothing. In the same way, as Christians we are often defeated in day-to-day living because we don’t really realize how many resources God has placed in our spiritual account.. A lot of times we say, “God help me. God, give me this. God, give me that.” Meanwhile, God is saying, “Will you please go check your account? I have deposited more than you could ever use. Check it out.” Can you imagine a soldier fighting a battle with no ammunition, while he was sitting on a bunker filled with thousands and thousands of rounds of ammo, more than he could use in a thousand wars? He has more than he needs right under him, but he is trying to fight the battle without the resources he has. Our defeat in our battle with sin and temptation lies largely in our ignorance of the facts. In Jesus Christ there is power to live a new life and to no longer be under sin’s control. That power is not in imitation, because you can imitate Jesus all you want and try to be like Him. The power comes from impartation. God has done something for you, and now it is for you to appropriate that divine provision. Pastor Hersch
