BTW – MWS endorses the book.

Over a year later I got a new 80G iPod, a better case, and haven’t thought twice about it.

P.S. If you are stumbling across this post, leave a note about how you found us.

I have a hard time explaining the doctrine of election, but I am thankful I don’t have to explain it as a part of the Gospel when witnessing. And yet I know from my own personal experience and upbringing, it was all God that brought me to Him. I seriously can’t and won’t take any credit for it. It makes perfect sense to me that He called me from the dead.

There are times I have spoken the Gospel to people and they have received it like fertile soil and times I have spoken it and literally had a person give me a blank face as if I’m speaking a foreign language. I remember one such instance a sister of mine looked at me after my clear explanation of the Gospel and said…”It seems as if some people get it and others don’t…I just don’t”. I was so confused! I kept trying to reword it and felt like a failure for Christ.

Now I rest in knowing that God sees each person’s heart and where they are spiritually; I still witness-because I’m commanded to..and when the word falls on someone really ready to receive it, it’s as if I found a jewel. I don’t take credit for their understanding it, but I share in God’s joy.

I find so much rest in God’s sovereignty when it comes to witnessing or living out the Christian walk, and if I’m to error, may it be on the point that God is more in control of things than not. While some have a hard time receiving it because it may make God appear mean or unloving to some, I see it as a means of comfort resting in the moving of His Spirit and not my ability. I think when we get to heaven and see the bigger picture, like Jesus communicated, we will be in awe of how much He truly loved the world..even those who believed in complete free will.

BTW this is a down to earth view…If you want more theological talk, sorry…I fall short on the big words.

Sadly it’s not much better than what you see at “www” though…

I can’t say that Twitter killed my Facebook. I think linking my Tweets to Facebook status updates helped–I’m sure to get comments in both places. Also, we use Facebook for a lot of campus events.
