Just a thought...

I have had this on my mind lately so I thought I would write about it here and see what you think. As a Christian, I take very seriously not using the Lord's name in any derragatory way. I cringe when I hear people so blatantly use the Name of my God in a way it's not meant to be used. It's happens all the time in day to day life, I see it on message boards and hear it when I am out and about -sadly even youngsters use such language without even thinking twice about it.
So, I got to wondering how did this even begin? When did it become a common thing to take the Name of our God, and use it in such horrific ways? Who came up with this? What really interests me is why our God's Name? Why don't people get mad and say "Oh Joseph Smith" or "for Joseph Smith sake". Do you get my point? No A.l.l.a. no oh buddah, no oh L Ron Hubbard oh this that or anyone else!!! People can say they use His Name because they don't belive in Him the way I do so it means nothing to them-well, with that logic then would it be ok for me to say Joseph Smith's name (and I am not picking on J. Smith, just making a point) I don't believe the way he did but I wouldn't use his name in a derragatory way. This might all sound senseless to some of you but it really does annoy me and sadden me.

We are growing as a church and that's such great news but we are in need of more space. There is a team coming in a couple weeks and we will build some portable buildings outside to have Sunday School. We usually have had either school-aged children and babies but now there are toddlers and it's impossible to keep them in the church during the service. The rooms just echo so one of the gals and I took them for a walk yesterday and it was soooo hot! We were laughing at how it takes more than one person to watch just a couple toddlers. Plus, if the Mom's hear the kids crying they run right out to them. It's a hard thing because we want the Mom's to have the time for themselves to hear the Word and have some time to fellowship but many of them aren't used to leaving their kids with anyone else and of course the kids love to scream for Mom! Quite a show some days!! LOL

I saved up for Shabby Princess's sale and got a few things that are awesome! Love her designs and I think she is so sweet so it makes it all the easier to want to buy her products. I made a LO the other day using her "Occasions" kit. Nothing fancy, just a simple LO but I like it.



Have a blessed day today!!!
