obedience

In Sunday school today, we looked at Matthew 21:33-45-parable of the tenants. It amazes me how greedy and selfish we can be. We take advantage of God's grace. We forget that God is the owner and provider of what we have. We reject Christ and all that He stands for and think we still deserve "things". Christ demands obedience in following Him, yet we resist. We still do our own thing. Hmmm. Obedience. Very hard thing to do.

I heard of a book called "Angels of the Lower Flight" today. It's written by a woman with quite a scandalous past. Susie Scott Krabacher came to Christ later in life and has been running an orphange in Haiti. All profits from the book goes to a fund for the children in Haiti. Sounds like an interesting book to read.

Sacrifices we make for God.... are we making them?

I agree - Susie’s story is very compelling and speaks volumes about the real possibilities. I had the chance to interview her and learn more about what she’s doing in Haiti. To read more, check it out at http://caglepost.com/column/Martha+Randolph+Carr/5228/Haiti+Needs+Best+Friends.html
