Comfort Food

There's not many things quite like a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich... it doesn't matter whether you like it on toast, with crunchy peanut butter, or with whatever kind of jelly. During many of our childhood years this was always a favorite, and now stands as a nostalgic symbol of when times were more simple!
Recently there hasn't been much going on... I've put somewhere around 1300 miles on my bike, and I'm still alive... so that's a plus. =) Ken has recently changed his work schedule because of his recent promotion, so now I'm the only one left on PC/Network support for second shift... Fun fun...

The only other thing recently was a blog post I read a couple days ago... It is a blog by someone I've never actually met, I've heard of them, read their blog and know a little about them, but I don't actually know them. (I left an anonymous comment, but later e-mailed so they would know who I was=) The cool thing about it was that their latest post made me think. It put a belief I had to a challenge... not because it was disagreeing with what I believe, but simply asked a question about this thing, and put a desire in me to want to research and backup why I believe what I believe. This was the first time in a long time that I've had any need to do this, but it did get me thinking, how easy is it to just become "ho hum" about the things we believe... Just because we believe something for 20 or even 50 years doesn't make it true, and there may be times when we will be called to show why we believe what we believe, and this was a fun opportunity for me to do this... So I encourage everyone (including myself) to be continually searching out why we believe what we do, not to just take someones word for it, but to study and show ourselves approved workmen.

Acts 17:11b "...they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."

Mark 10:13-15 "And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."
