Hot Pink Nail Polish

So the other day, Dave came home from work and I held up my foot [with freshly painted hot pink nail polish on it] and said, "What do you think of this color on my toes?" Dave said, "Well..it's kind of bright." I then asked, "How do you like it on the white rug?" He looked down and said, "BABE! What did you do!?" Hahaha "I dropped it. But I got it off the real carpet and thats what matters!... Besides, I was just adding a little personal touch to the rug. That's all.

Last night we had DQ and went to play putt-putt with my free coupons I had [I'm a coupon freak]. It was a lot of fun! Dave told me he scored 52 and I got 60. I instantly got really excited and said, YES! I won! He informed me, "Babe...it's putt putt...lowest score wins. You had more strokes than me." ...Talk about crushing my spirits. Every other sport its the highest score that wins :)

And just another funny moment... the other day when I was out with my sister and did the most horrible parking job in the world at a gas station. Which is nothing new or unusual for me. And my sister took a picture of it... Well anyways... Dave (who always reminds me that there are laws to abide and follow, which include properly parking) saw it and said, "Oh my goodness. What is THAT?"  I said, "In my defense, no one was around when I parked!"   To which he replied, "In your defense?! Babe, it's the LAW!" Bahaha!


We officially are members of Faith Bible now! And Eric spoke a wonderful message over John 18 and how Peter denied Christ. First of all, notice Peter was the only one who followed Christ after his arrest. The rest of the disciples scattered. Peter was always ready for battle, always Jesus' right hand man except for this one time. Why? 1. He was talking when he should have been listening--Jesus warned Peter of his denial, but Prideful Peter wouldnt have it. 2. He was sleeping when he should have been watching -Peter and the others slept in the Garden during Christ's most intense moments before the cross. And that is evident in our lives in the fact there is a war-a spiritual war- more dangerous than militant muslims or nuclear world war 3 [in words of John Piper) and we are so content to be fat and happy in front of a TV, as the world rocks us to sleep to the tune of entertainment. We are too asleep to get on our knees and pray.  3. Peter followed at a distance. He did not stay near enough to Jesus during that time.   4. Peter was standing with a compromised crowd. Bonding yourself together in close relationships with unbelievers will only lead to sin and compromised convictions.  And last, 5. Failing in the critical hour. You cant wait until the hour of temptation to figure out how you will deal with it.  You need deep relationships with believers--who know your life in and out-- to help you fight this war on sin.

Sin will take you farther than you are willing to go. Keep you longer than you are willing to stay. And cost you more than you are willing to pay.
