A new perspective

You must be thinking "oh my gosh, she blogged", or maybe not but that's okay. This weekend, I went to a funeral for a young man that was taken way before his time. His family is very dear to me and my family. We used to live down the street from them, went to church with them and one summer I babysat him. It's just so heartbreaking. There were a lot of things said this weekend that has really stuck with me and I can't seem to get them out of my head. I am a Christian, though not the kind I should be, and I don't often talk about my beliefs, at least not on here. I suppose it hasn't really come up, but something a preacher said this weekend keeps playing over and over again in my head. For some reason, I feel it's important to share. It's a simple truth but I think it's pretty powerful. I hope I haven't built it up too much. So before I do, here it is:

"For Christians, this world is as close to hell as they will ever get. For the lost, it is as close to heaven as they will ever get."

Just something to think about.

I love your new background! I love the message of that one simple quote of Bro. Jason's. And, I love you, Casey and our boys. :)

AWESOME quote! The sad things is that people take it too lightly.

It will be Heaven or it will be Hell. There is NO place in between.

The next time you guys are down this way bring us some of that delicious Bar-B-Q!!!!
