It snowed Wednesday night. I thought it would never happen. It finally did/has. It's changed my dead world into a winter wonderland. I LOVE it! It's beautiful.

I like my job. . . Though it feels like I barely do anything. But it's fun doing nothing. =-) I learned how to change door knobs. =-) My brother put one in (after I broke the old one) and it ended up being backwards, so I, being the secretary of this fine establishment, took it upon myself to fix it. Twas a rather fun experience. My knowledge of door knob changing being very limited, it took me probably twice as long as it would an experienced door knob change-r. So far I've eaten out everyday (for lunch). I'm gonna get to looking like a blimp I fear. But anyway. We are going to move from one shop to the other. I can't wait to work at the other one. It won't stink. I won't have to get up so early. I will have a much better office. Plus my family might lose it's uptight-ness. It's seems we're always arguing with each other and always in bad moods. It's like living with a bunch a bears. (trust me I'm as much of a bear as anyone else)

I was reading my friends blog today. She was saying how blessed she is. She's pretty sick right now and she was exclaiming about how blessed she is! I take for granted that I can sleep at night, I can walk around the house without the use of a cane, I can do things with my friends. She's put me to shame.

Ever notice how it hurts when people let you down. How you would love to really let them down back. Just to show them how it hurts. How incredibly hard it is to forgive and love them. You can talk and talk about how this person should forgive that person how they should never have held on to it that long. Then you go through and see how hard it is and how easy it would be to get bitter about.

Ever notice how it's easy to be hard on sin until you know someone who does the exact sin you're being hard on. Then you do anything to make so that they're ok with God. Get stressed out about it. Then in the end realize you can't do a thing about it and bawl your eyes out.

Ever notice how quickly we forget what Jesus did for us. What He really really did. No, He didn't just save us from Hell, He saved us from God. If you read the Old Testament you see how God wiped out thousands of people because of sin. You see how much He hates sin, He cannot bear to look upon it.
When Jesus died on that cross, He didn't just die. He took all the sin in the world upon Himself. God couldn't even look at Him, not because of the pain He was suffering but because of the sin He so hates. It pleased God to crush Him. The Son He so loved. It PLEASED God to crush him. I'm free because God crushed His only Son. I don't have to face the wrath of God because Jesus did that for me. Nothing on earth should matter to me at all in light of that. But it does because I forget.
