Wow (yet again)!! How fast the week has flown. We've been busy this week, getting ready for Craig's return and welcoming him home. He had an amazing trip and I've truly enjoyed hearing his stories and viewing the pictures. I'll take some time soon to post some pictures and just a couple of stories. I've also been working on a super-secret project, which has taken up most of my spare time, which I would have usually used for blogging. But, that will be done this weekend and I'll be back to my some-what routine life. I look forward to sharing our life with you again.
I did want to take a moment and wish everyone a very blessed Fourth of July. I know that there are so many who have made sacrifices for this great nation of ours. Whether you are one who has personally served in the service or whether you have sacrificed by sending a member of your family, I say, "THANK YOU!" While words are often not enough, I am in debt to your service and dedication.
We are truly blessed to be in a wonderful country where we are free, to do pretty much anything. Unfortunately, that freedom is too often ruled by our own selfishness and pride. Just because we have been given the freedom do to it, doesn't mean we should. Corinthians 10:23-24 reads, "'Everything is permissible'—but not everything is beneficial. 'Everything is permissible'—but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others." When we think about whether we should or should not do something, do we think past the legal limitations or do we dive deeper, asking is this really is something beneficial and constructive?
