True Riches on Monday

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. Philippians 3:7-9

First I have to say this: Can I get an Amen that there is some amazing fellowship in the Blogosphere?
I am blown away week after week, day after day, by all of YOU! You wild and crazy people. We communicate through e-mails, chats and comments and I seriously feel truly rich in Bloggy love. Don’t ever let anyone speak about all of the evil that comes through the internet. I receive multitudes of blessing in this CRAZY, loving place. I just wish I could grab each of you by your head with my arm and give you noogies! Then hugs. Once, while standing in a Cafe, when I was in my fanatically fit days I looked at a slice of chocolate cake and said ” That is evil”. Coincidentally, the guys standing in line ahead of me were seminary students (God just loves to do this stuff to me all the time) and overheard my statement. One of them looked at me and gave me the his best pitch for the problem of “evil” and assured me that the chocolate cake in and of itself was not evil. This led into what perhaps would be fodder for a future sermon upon graduation about the nature of evil. Really, God has taught me that a closed mouth and listening ears can carry a person a long way. Course I am a slow learner…and I am still un-learning my own practice: Open mouth, insert foot. I am expert with that. But progress has been made. I now eat the chocolate cake. Guilt free. Although I weigh more. I also know more now about evil than I ever wanted to! Just read The Screwtape Letters and you will be up to speed. After you read through your Bible first, of course. Duh!

Monday night I enjoyed a wild night out at the library making cards for free! (Picture Adam Sandler squealing : “For freeeeeeeeeeeee?”) The bunny looked like a rat, but hey, I am a bit rusty.

OK, So my sweet, wonderful,dear Mentor/Friend/Sister In Christ, Sharon Gamble
