My First Engagement Party

 I am well into a huge number of years on this planet, yet this is the very first time that I have attended an engagement party. It can also be said that I wasn't the only one there thinking this. Many reading this my also say the same. I can honestly say that it really doesn't matter how you do it. Like in marriage, you cannot buy happiness.

Grandiose is the only word that comes up for the very first engagement party that I attended.
  

 Outside on a frosty early evening, everyone anticipated the main event while sipping on wine or drinking beer. For comfort there was a roaring fire in a large fire-pit along with outside heaters blowing warm air to keep all the well dressed family and friends warm. The patio around the large pool was nicely decorated with party lights and rose petals around the area where the young man waited silently practicing his question.
 
Finally, the young lady is here.

When the moment arrived there was not a dry eye around. These two love birds certainly are blessed to have each other. This young man is a college friend of my son that we have also formed a close bond with. The young lady is a sweet heart that have also touched our lives closely.
Our prayer is for them to enjoy many great years together.

 After the proposal the celebration started with a toast from both fathers. Both speeches were wedding appropriate. As a matter of fact the wedding will have to really step up to top this event. Before the feast and right after toast, fireworks exploded in the sky. What a grande spectacle.

As I said this is the first that I have attended..to be clear this actually the first that I have heard of. But, I have learned to let life do life and I will adjust, enjoy and pray.

Just for the fun of it. Comment on if you have ever or have not attended an engagement party.

The Towel Quandary

I’m not saying that this didn’t happen to me, I’m just saying. Suppose you had a good workout and now are sitting in the sauna enjoying the heat. When you went into the sauna there were no towels hanging on the towel rack. And, you are the only person in the sauna. Out of the corner of your eye (through the glass door) you see someone walk by with what looks like your towel. Okay, every boy owns a white towel with dark blue and light blue strips on it …right? A few minutes later, the same person comes back by the glass door with the same towel. That is when questions flood your mind. This person however, is polite enough to open the door and say, “I’m so sorry. I took your towel by mistake. I didn’t use it. I’m so sorry.

 

Hummm!!!!

 

What a nice person right? Well, now you are in a quandary. I know for a fact that when you are wet and you have a towel, the first thing you do is wipe your face with it. It’s just normal. I’m not saying that this guy is lying but who holds a towel without touching some part of your body. God knows where else it has been. This leads to the main question.

Do you use a towel after someone else walks off with it out of your line of site?

 

1. No

2. Yes

 

There is no (C) answer.

If you don’t mind please give your reasoning behind your well thought out answer in the comment section.

Benefits of Freedom

 

 

 Christ has freed us so that we may enjoy the benefits of freedom. Therefore, be firm in this freedom, and don’t become slaves again.

 I, Paul, can guarantee that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.  Again, I insist that everyone who allows himself to be circumcised must realize that he obligates himself to do everything Moses’ Teachings demand. Those of you who try to earn God’s approval by obeying his laws have been cut off from Christ. You have fallen out of God’s favor. However, in our spiritual nature, faith causes us to wait eagerly for the confidence that comes with God’s approval. As far as our relationship to Christ Jesus is concerned, it doesn’t matter whether we are circumcised or not. But what matters is a faith that expresses itself through love.

You were doing so well. Who stopped you from being influenced by the truth? The arguments of the person who is influencing you do not come from the one who is calling you. A little yeast spreads through the whole batch of dough. ¹The Lord gives me confidence that you will not disagree with this. However, the one who is confusing you will suffer God’s judgment regardless of who he is. Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching that circumcision is necessary, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the cross wouldn’t be offensive anymore.  I wish those troublemakers would castrate themselves.

You were indeed called to be free, brothers and sisters. Don’t turn this freedom into an excuse for your corrupt nature to express itself. Rather, serve each other through love.  All of Moses’ Teachings are summarized in a single statement, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” But if you criticize and attack each other, be careful that you don’t destroy each other.

Let me explain further. Live your life as your spiritual nature directs you. Then you will never follow through on what your corrupt nature wants.
