Be on the lookout...your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion...looking for someone to devour

Rod is home!! Yea!! They had a wonderful, successful trip to Nicaragua. And I'm glad he is home safe! Praise be to God for His protection on them.

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday. We went over and ate lunch with them after church.

Last night, church was awesome. The message was about spiritual warfare and how we should be set apart. We lose our focus was too often. We, and by we I mean me, turn our focus on things that aren't as important as we make them out to be. Things like money, material possessions, debt, our jobs, our house, etc. And we take our focus off of the Lord. We quit being on 'high alert' for the devil's schemes, and just assume because we aren't being attacked by him, then we're safe. Wrong! If we're not being attacked by the devil, then that means we aren't a threat to him, which means we aren't doing our job for the Lord. The devil should never want to leave us alone! He should attack us constantly, because we are a threat, because we are out there witnessing and winning souls for Christ, because we are different from the world, because we don't care about money and bills and having more and more things. Things aren't important. A beautiful house isn't important. A nice new car isn't important. New electronics, cell phones, ipods, game systems, flat screen Tv's, that is not important. What is important is our relationship with Christ, our service to Him, and our dedication to Him.

Well, I guess I said what was on my mind this morning! Sorry if I rambled on and on.
