Kristin had her baby. He looks just like his brother. Which means hide your daughters cause they are gorgeous boys. So happy for her. Oh and Dean too. :)

I have decided to start exercising at home since the gym I loved closed...last fall. Yeah, I have no motivation lol. I hate to sweat! But anywho, since I really can't afford the gym fee it was kinda a blessing it closed. $50 a month is a lot. Now pray I find a motive. Also thanks to Jennie I think I'm gonna look into a local theater group. Ever since my senior year when I discovered I actually had a little talent I have loved doing what I can at church but never took it further. I'm gonna now. We'll see what happens.

Well off to play Westward IV. I love big fish games! ---->

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6



As children, most of us were probably cautioned not to eat snacks too close to mealtime. "You'll ruin your appetite," our parents might have told us. And sometimes they were right. On other occasions, though, we found that just a little taste can actually make us want more--particularly if that "taste" is a chocolate chip cookie, tortilla chip, or handful of salted nuts. The more we have, the more we crave.



A central paradox in our relationship with God is that while this experience satisfies a deep need, it simultaneously creates an insatiable desire for more. How can this be?



Imagine that there is a "God space" in our lives waiting to be filled with the Divine. As it expands, so does its capacity; the larger it becomes, the greater the yearning for God. That's simplifying things, of course, but the principle remains nonetheless.



Hunger and thirst can be slaked temporarily, but sooner than we imagine, our body is sending us a signal that it's time to eat and drink again. In the spiritual life, our longing for God is the same.



We may imagine that meeting God once will be enough to keep us satisfied for the rest of our lives, but once we meet Jesus and are saved, all that changes. From that point on, when we are quiet enough to hear, our heart tells us, that we can never get enough of Him.
