Ok so lets start with this Sunday. I don't recall the specific topic that was given to the speakers and while there were still a number of things that struck me this poem that the last speaker recited jumped out and smacked me! Its nothing amazingly special just one of those things that makes you think a little bit more. It doesn't have a tittle, but her sister is the one who wrote it.
They put Him on trial
They asked Him his name-
What was his purpose and
From whence he came?
Boldly he told them, "I am the Lord,
I come from above to spread
Gods work"
They laughed at His claim,
Spit on His face - then they
demanded that I take his place!
In front of a jury made of my
friends - I was asked,
"This man, do you defend? Do you
follow his teachings, believe with
your heart? Will He always in your
life have a part?"
I looked to my Savior, the Lord,
Jesus Christ.
I knew that He loved me by the look
in His eyes.
I looked to the jury made of my
friends and with surety answered,
"His name I defend."
To stand as a witness I've sworn I
would do,
No matter the trials I may be put
through.
He is my Savior, my Lord, my
friend.
I will stand as a witness for Him to
the end.
The courtroom fell silent - they all
went their ways
Each one contemplating what they
heard that day.
When your turn comes to be put on
the stand,
Will you have the courage to raise
up your hand in front of a jury
made up of your friends?
Will you, the Savior, always
defend?
- Jeanette N. Work

Oh and I just wanted to make something very clear to all of you that read this...I DON'T SHAVE MY LEGS EVERYDAY!!! I only do it once a week on Saturday night so I'm not hairy at church when I wear a skirt. So all of you just need to stop with this whole I take half hour showers everyday so I can shave. :P
Its super hot here all day everyday starting early in the day now. Though not as hot as Houston and I'm glad for that! But we've also been getting massive amount of rain for days in a row and so we also get flooding problems. The news people said we should send it to California so that it will help stop the fires that keep starting and that are currently being fought.
I've also decided that I'm totaly in love with my Peach and Sweet Berries candle that mom bought me several years ago for Christmas and I've about used it all....guess I'll have to go hunt for it at Yankee.
Oh and thank you mom for instilling in me the sense to behave and clean up things and to treat people nicely. I don't know why but people seem to feel the need to remind me of that blessing daily it seems.
Anyway, I hope you all are having fun! Enjoy whats left of the week and remember what that poem says.
Hugs and Kisses to all!
