Frustrated
Well after such a useless boring previous post, one starts to think. Am I the kind of person people see as one to stay away from, or do I make every effort to live in a way that attracts people. I read this quote from C.Johnson a pastor from a church called "A Christ walk Church". (no endorsement intented)
It has become common that modern Christians, especially in America, have come to believe that they have absolute and total understanding of every possible aspect of Christian Faith, including every detail. IF any person could actually ever have such absolute and complete knowledge, that means that person either has or believes he/she has an entire and perfect understanding of the Plan of God for man. Such an attitude indicates a belief that the person is as smart as the Lord is, to so completely understand a Plan that has eluded billions of Christians before them, including many who spent their entire lives attempting to understand it. That is essentially the very definition of Arrogance, of an absolute smugness in one's own perfection that no one is allowed to ever question any aspect of it!
Isaiah 13:11 (King James Version)
11And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
I am so angry tonight, and also disappointed. Pray for me as I deal with people with this character.

Winter hang on
Ever heard of a winter hang on? Hey just a update on life with the Kornelsen's. Jayms' hockey is over. With a silver medal at the provincials one should expect to be happy, however this was not the case. When the team that beat you gets killed in the final four bantam championships 23-0 to a team we competed with, your not happy. Adison is graduating from high school and Aaryn is doing very well in her second year of university. I am farming and Gaylene is counselling in Riverton schools. Sorry this is a boring post. Wait till the next one.
