First, I am very excited to say, my wife and I have been married 4 years! What a blessing!
Lamentations is interesting. I don't know the whole picture, but we are roughly reading passages written in 586 BC. My favorite verses:
Lamentation 3:25 " The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him"
Lamentation 3:27 " It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young"
Lamentation 3:39 " Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins"
I read a comment on a CNN post the other day about Christians and something to do with the California Prop 8 passage, and how Christians/Mormons (the Mormon church funded $20Million in ads,etc) should be ashamed of themselves. A blogger wrote "How can you be for this, it prevents gay couples from being married"...another blogger wrote "one word...BIBLE", well that previous blogger wrote back " $%#^ (it was actually a bad word) the bible...it is worthless trash....etc etc etc".....
I was shocked....sad...and I saw more comments from many more bloggers also proclaiming their hate for Christians and the Bible.
My friends, it is going to become more difficult to live as a Christian in this country. We are going to be targetted and we will be tested. We must have faith and hope that our God has a marvelous plan. We must seek him. One of these verses also reminded me how important it is as a father to be the spiritual leader in the home and instill the proper love for Christ in my children. Am I doing that?
PRAISE: Thank you Lord for such a beautiful loving and God seeking WIFE! I am so happy to be married to Suzi.....She is the cheese to my macaroni...(I took that line from the movie Juno).
PRAYER: I pray that parenting time with Ethan increase. Erika (Ethans mom) has been adamant that Ethan not spend more time with us. It has been 3 years since we last increased time, and we have asked her many times to go to mediation, counseling, etc. She basically told me that I need to talk to my lawyer if I wanted any more time. I pray that the Lord will help soften Erika's heart and see the yearning of Ethan to spend more time with his brother and with his Dad (me). I also pray that God can help me be patient and still shine the light during conflict and disagreement.
