The Odd Couple

what a beautiful couple. Matt looks like hes smiling while trying to push out a poop, and Fran looks like she needs an exersist. Well, truth is, I love them. I love seeing the changes in Matt since he came to know God back when I was a kid. He is a different person than he used to be. Sure he is still weird, but now he is weird for God instead of for captain Kirk. I remember the days of the communicator. He actually used to have one. You know, that thing on their shirts on Star Trek. Oh yea, he used to wear it on the chest of his knitted Star Trek sweater. He is a geek still, but he got rid of the communicator(shortly after getting rid of the mullet). Matt is like my big brother, who kinda of acts like a little brother.
And dont even get me started on my big sis. She is great, she trusts God, no matter how crappy things have been over the last 2 years. I love her so much. Sure, she has a limp, but we love her anyway!!! I remember the day we almost lost her like it was yesterday. I remember seeing her laying there with a tree through her leg she was bloated to like twice her size and she was whiter than anyone I had ever seen before. I though it may be the last chance I would have to see her this side of Heaven. Of course, I was a wreck, and she said to me 'Lisa, don't cry'. Like, really, she is laying there dying and she is concerened that I am sad. I love my sister, and Im glad I still have her. Thanks to you both for the example that you have shown me as I was growing up. Thanks for being mentors. Thanks for serving God. Thank you both so much for your influence on my life.

Somebody had to die

My sin. Its ugly, its aweful, its shameful, and its overwhelming. The wages of sin is death. My sin, the shameful deeds that only God has seen. The terrible things that I have done. Every lie that ive told, every person that Ive hurt. All the filth. Everything deserves death. Me. Im the reason that Jesus had to die. It was him or me, and he chose himself.
It hurts to know all that he did so that I can be free. So that I can live. Me, the one who has sinned time and time again. Ive been ashamed of him, yet he died for me.
Somebody had to die, it was him or me, he chose himself. Now I choose him. Choose him to rule my life. I choose to die so that he can live in me, and through me. The wages of sin is death,but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
