Today's edition of "Mouthy preacher's wife who shouldn't have an opinion" :)

I have not said much about the ChickFilA controversy. In fact, I am pretty tired of hearing the many arguements. I will put in my 2 cents worth one time though. I am proud of the company's Christian values; however, our main purpose as Christians is to LOVE one another. How have we lost sight of that? I think that many things have been taken out of context regarding this issue. Many people think there is no gray area. I have ALWAYS supported ChickFilA. But now the world tells me that if I support the company, I am a hater. And if I don't support it, I am not a true Christian. So let me say this. I will continue to support ANY company with true Christian values. I will stand up for what I believe in, but not in a way that is at the expense of hurting others or to risk winning over new souls to the Kingdom of God. So to my fellow Christians, if you are at ChickFilA today and encounter the "kiss-in", think about what Jesus would do. Think about the harm that can so easily be done to a delicate soul. Don't yell obscenities or criticisms. We are called to be Christ-like and LOVE as Christ LOVES us! Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. John 13:34-35

Happy 15th Anniversary, Baby!

I will be in trouble over this, but I just HAD to post to my blog for what is a very special day for me. I just realized that I have not posted to my blog in over a year, and that was just to update friends and family on how my sister was doing. I once loved blogging but I lost my will to do so, along with many other things, on April 27, 2011. Today is special though. Today, Scott and I celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. I can't express, or even comprehend how thankful I am that God put him in my life. When God gave me my husband, He gave me a best friend and confidante. He gave me a protector and caretaker. And years later, He transformed him into a mentor, counselor, and Spiritual leader for me and our children. Now, this is no fairytale world and I will not pretend that ours or any marriage is perfect. All I know is that since we have completely given our marriage over to God, it has been the closest thing to perfect that I can even imagine.

So Happy 15th Anniversary, Baby! Although one of us is now fat, the other is now bald, & we're BOTH old, (haha) I have never loved you more, and I thank God for you every day!! I don't tell you enough, but thank you for everything you do. You are truly a blessing to me and I love you!!
