Like checking them out before checking God's word out. I can easily get amazed by other people and their stories and how they write and how smart they are and cool they are...and in a way..live vicariously through them. I felt like this blog post was a reminder/smack in the face that my life in Christ can be even more thrilling than all the fun, exciting stories I read on blogs. May I find my daily excitement in Him! <BR/>Carmen of Lee's Summit, MO (a friend of Shelly Poppen, who introduced me to your blog a long time ago and I've been a regular checker)Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398528911293776993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-36165903111262885522008-09-29T12:59:00.000-06:002008-09-29T12:59:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.gillberkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17304730473858211405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-12050479506606978792008-09-29T10:41:00.000-06:002008-09-29T10:41:00.000-06:00Adrienne, Mel pointed out that Christians are ro...Adrienne, Mel pointed out that Christians are royalty ..and they are supposed to be because of their association with God as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ. One thing God has been laying on my heart lately is that Jesus came as a "Servant King"...He is looking for His bride....she will be a "Servant Bride"....not one who is in it for the house or car or "stuff" of the world....but one who is in it just because "she" loves Him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-46733962836219871872008-09-29T08:22:00.000-06:002008-09-29T08:22:00.000-06:00WOW!

One of the women said something to the effect of: I could die tomorrow, but I'm going to die in Dior.

I don't know why, because I totally don't think it's your intent at all, but I get this talking-down-to-us vibe sometimes. Is it just because I'm reading words instead of hearing you speak? I don't know you, but I don't think this is an accurate representation of you at all. Maybe it's because you write very directly and ask very pointed questions? Maybe some things you say hit close to home? I don't know. And you shouldn't apologize for it, I'm just pointing it out. <BR/><BR/>"Maybe, since YOU can't see God's majestic throne with YOUR physical eyes, it's easier for YOU to worship created things YOU see, or YOUR own life?" <BR/><BR/>I kind of thought maybe you were even directing this towards a certain person! Maybe it's a question you are including yourself in as well. <BR/><BR/>Feel free to email me if you want to reply to this. And I don't mean to offend you at all, I'm just being honest! <BR/><BR/>Jennifer<BR/><BR/>rockabye26@hotmail.comJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720426938011606536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-75984628814169238512008-09-26T07:34:00.000-06:002008-09-26T07:34:00.000-06:00Wonderful!

I look at all these woman in the shopping centres dressed to the nines and I will be honest once up a time I wished I looked as beautiful as they did, (Beautiful make up, Perfect hair, expensive clothes)I wanted everything that they had. <BR/><BR/>Since finding God I look at these woman and think to myself, That some of them are missing something so HUGE in their lives (GOD) that they have to fill themselves up with all this material, junk. They are trying to look like the latest stars from the biggest magazines instead of themselves. It is really really sad.<BR/><BR/>Jesus is heaps better than a pair of Prada's!Carly Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586501928364642712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-62599930821061124102008-09-25T17:55:00.000-06:002008-09-25T17:55:00.000-06:00I think He actually preferred Figi water :) You a...I think He actually preferred Figi water :) You are so laughing!<BR/><BR/>-Coco :)Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11563881348657282601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-30329514734398560922008-09-25T16:54:00.000-06:002008-09-25T16:54:00.000-06:00great entry... it's amazing how God aligns all...great entry... <BR/><BR/>it's amazing how God aligns all my bloggie 'friends''s hearts & mine.

You want it to be not so "plain", but it contains deep, deep truth about The Shepherd. Just for me now, I would rather the appearance remain the same, if you would also continue to strive to present Him as accurately and courageously as you do.

It made me think, and it was also very funny...reading your ficticious thoughts of Jesus and his special mazzo balls and cloaks by the latest designer in Bethlehem.
