Friday 2/19/10 Romans Chapter 14

Well today is Friday!!  It always amazes me how I feel on Fridays... Excitement for 2 days off work, list of things "todo" in my head, anticipation for afterschool sports game. Today there is one more thing Raeanna has a "school dance" and last night at 9:30pm could not decide what to wear.  This really bothers me because she usually doesn't care just puts on a pair of jeans and off she goes...  Last night she wanted a dress (doesn't own one) and was going crazy think of what she could wear and talking about getting up early to do her hair. (the dance is right after school)  I know you are thinking of what I am thinking.  This teenage girl thing is really too much!!  Here we go hang on it could be a bumpy flight!!  She found a dress in my closet that was too small for me (thank goodness I never clean out my closet) and put it with a cute tank and little jacket and looks really cute... 

Chapter 14:

I have created a link to go directly to a website call biblegateway.com.  It is to Romans 14 in The Message translation.  Please read it first, I have made some comments about the verse.  Don't worry it is a short read and I think you will like it...

1-5 I think is a great reminder that we all have different ways of thinking of our God.  Some think of God and "religon" being the same thing.  Many have been "hurt" by religon/churches.  Please know that our God is bigger than that.  Remember that religon/churches are run by people who are all sinners and can hurt others. 

6-12 are good reminders on "judging" others.   I think we are quick to judge others instead of worring about our own walk...  My advice watch where you are going... you never know who is following you!!

15-18 is some powerful stuff that I could spend hours, days, weeks maybe a lifetime of perfecting!!

19-21  are huge!! 

The last sentance is worth repeating!!
"If the way you live isn't consistant with what you believe, then it is wrong!"
