Swing, Swing

Today we both had the day off! Yippee! It was so nice not to wake up to an alarm :)
We met with our pastor, Ernie, today over lunch and gave him our paperwork so we could officially become members of Faith Bible :) We are so excited to join as a couple and serve. There are so many opportunities! We are just so thankful to have a solid church that is soooo committed to teaching the Word. I have never seen a church with such a high view of scripture and the gospel. We have men of integrity leading it. So many Godly women that I have to learn from.
Last night Dave and I were flipping through channels, and this guy, Jentzen Franklin was on preaching to his mega church and instantly we were so filled with anger when we heard him preach the most watered down message I've heard in a long time. He took a precious parable of Jesus about the field that has the kingdom of heaven and how the man sells all he has to purchase it... Jentzen turned it into this horrible message out of context about how "you have to find treasure in yourself, in others. You can dig in a field all you want. But its dirty. You always have to be looking for treasure. All around you." Oh I get so angry when I see thousands of people being blindly led straight to hell. Sheep without a shepherd. It was so sad that in the middle of his tirade about a dirty field, Dave and I looked at each other and said, "What in the world is he talking about?!" while the people in the audience were cheering and clapping. Hosea 4:6 "My people perish for a lack of knowledge." But I know that if it were not for God's kindness towards me, I would still be following the ways of the world today.

We also went to the park this afternoon and spent some time relaxing on the swings.  It reminded me of almost 2 years ago when Dave and I either started dating or right before, he took me to Sonic to get drinks and then to Burdette Park where we sat on the swings and shared our testimonies with each other. I also remembered the swingset Crissie and I had as kids and how my dad never actually put it deep enough in the ground, so whenever we would start to swing too high the whole front end of the swingset would come up out of the ground and start to tip backwards. It was kind of a game to see how far back we would let it tip before we got too scared and stopped.

Tonight we took Charlie for a walk and was looking around in the area at houses for sale. I wish more houses had those information papers available to take! I have a feeling when we do decide to buy a house, it will take us quite awhile to decide on one. I like the house we are renting now, but it will be so nice to have our own house to paint, remodel, plant a garden, add another puppy dog  :), etc.

Thursday I get to hang out with my sister!!! I'm so excited! I miss her very much....
Thats all for now :)
