today is 4 july 2009. here in the states its independence day. all across the world americans are drinking beer, eating hotdogs, playing by the pool, and watching fireworks and i cant help but think about what it is in us as humans thats causes such celebration.
maybe its cause we have known about this whole idea of freedom from the very beginning. maybe the story of being owned by someone or something else and then someone outside the situation swooping in and saving us has been written on our hearts since the first breath we took. its playing out all around us. its the air we breathe. and its the most beautiful story ever written. its the story of redemption. the story of being set free.
we were completely owned by sin and death. enslaved to that which only leads to death. and we couldnt and cant do anything about it. and jesus. being rich and mercy. because he loved us so much that he sent his son to save us...make us alive together with christ. he made us a new creation in christ, created to do good works. to walk in freedom and in life and in hope and joy and peace. he has set us free. really free.
so i wonder if there will be fireworks in heaven...?
About Me
- alison
- Texas, United States
- I like my showers hot and my tea cold. I like brown, but tan makes me sick. I think dogs and children are meant to walk, not be carried. Sometimes I doubt how much good really is in people. I think the hole in the ozone layer is getting bigger, and i'm not helping the situation. By the look of things, there is too much trash in the ocean as well. I don't like beef and I think pork is disgusting. I hate when people ask if its a moral issue. I like the phrase "if you dont mind me asking." Red kool-aid tastes the best. I could win the amazing race. Not everyone has social skills. Even though 90% of the population thinks they do. Sometimes photography is overrated. I hate that. I like my apples green, and my pumpkins in pie. I don't trust people.
slow down i cant catch my breath.
