Grace

God's grace is really amazing. It's so amazing that a perfect and holy God would desire to have a relationship with a sinful and weak person like myself. Intellectually I understand that grace exists but that concept is really so hard to truly grasp--that I can be forgiven simply because God will forgive me, and there is nothing I can do to earn it. I'm so thankful that God saw fit to give this gift before the creation of the world. I'm so thankful that God will forgive my sins time and time again even though He knows I will turn right back around and do it again. I'm so thankful that He has brought me so far in life and is so patient with me. I'm so thankful for the risen Jesus Christ who takes away the sins of the world. Praise God!

1 Pet 1:3-4 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade–kept in heaven for you..."

I'm Back!!!!

I've successfully neglected my blog again for quite some time. I really wish I were more dedicated to writing but I just don't seem to take the time. Nothing really exciting is going on. I guess since I last wrote I've done a few things. Oh yeah, I did go to the Orange Bowl to witness the Sooners get massacred by the Trojans 55-19. This team just didn't seem to have the toughness it takes to win. It's pretty sad for all the talent we had. I'm finally starting to get over it and to get excited about next season. I'm sure not excited about the basketball team. I'm sick of watching 7 minute stretches of 5 guys standing around and calling that good basketball. Hopefully they'll get it turned around but I think I've decided with the "listen to the games on radio" philosophy so I don't have to watch the terrible mess.

As for things of real importance, I did have a good visit with Mom and Dad. They were here through mid-January and I must say it was odd living in the house with them. I don't think I ever thought I would live back here again, let alone back in my old room with the whole family around. It wasn't bad, just a little freaky.

Oh and Zac moved to Argentina. I think things are going well as I've talked to him on IM a few times. He sounds like he's been traveling a lot. I'm not really sure what else he's been up to. I must say it is a little odd to be the only one of my family to be living in OKC currently but I hadn't really thought about it until Zac asked me on Saturday. I guess it's not really that weird b/c I'm pretty busy but for the sake of the blog I'll mention it.

Other than that, life is pretty much normal. I've been teaching class for the Young Couples' at church. I've really enjoyed it too. They really have a lot of comments which makes it a lot more interesting on my end. I must say it is quite exhausting teaching for 5 out of 6 weeks but it is definitely worth it. I need that in my life. Hopefully as the years go by I will learn to be a much better teacher as well.

I guess Blogadocious can be satisfied now with this mini-biography. I'm sure I'll post again in another couple of months.

Now This is What I Call a Fan!!

Thanks to Adria for forwarding on this great article. I guess I'm not as big of a Sooner Fan as I'd like to believe.

I love my boys too much!
