Proverbs 2:1-5
“My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you… then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.”
Reading these verses causes me to evaluate the time I spend with my kids. Solomon offers his son the understanding of the fear of the Lord and the knowledge of God. What am I purposefully offering Quincy, Karsyn and Clark?
Moms and dads, what is one thing that you’ve tried to do to encourage your children in their own search for God?
Those without kids, share something you’ve seen in others or experienced with your own parents that you would like to one day pass on to your children.
Or, think in terms of mentoring. Is there something you continually try to share with younger Christians?

This blog serves three purposes. It gives me an avenue to share my walk with God, provides opportunities to keep up with friends who live far, far away and it lets me post pictures of my three beautiful children and one beautiful wife.

No kiddos here... but I have nothing but high praises for parents. I can't begin to imagine the weight of that responsibility!
So, from the angle of mentoring others... I guess my contribution is helping others to deconstruct any wrong perceptions of God they've picked up along the way.
So, you can screw 'em up and then send them to me! ;-)
Seriously though... It's so hard to boil Christianity down to a list of essential elements... I'll just say that the thing that has impacted me the most in my Christian life is witnessing the lives of people who genuinely enjoy God. I mean... I can actually see their pleasure and joy. Their faces light up when they talk about God. Their eyes fill with tears when they tell of what He's done in their lives. The air is full of laughter as they don't take church and religion so seriously... They are for real. And I cannot get enough of that.
There is an interesting connection, Angie, when connecting your last comment with this one. You ended with “FEAR - it’s not just for the damned”. And here mention the beauty of laughter among God’s people. God calls us to such an interesting balance of fear and life, grace and truth.
You’re right, when you are with Christians who laugh; you know there is something special going on.
Yeah, this is probably why I don't blog. Fear of Dusty.
Speechless Dusty, just speechless. Some pretty good words followed by an incoherent rant of things I have no recollection of.
I think something that goes hand in hand with The Terry and Mary’s enjoyment of the Kingdom was their honesty about difficult times in the Kingdom. I think we all remember Dad sitting us down to tell us he might get fired the next day for what he was going to preach, but he still had to preach it. That was heavy on us little guys, but made an impression that stayed with us.
By the way, why are we calling them “The Terry and Mary”?
Wendy, to answer your email earlier, I think any time would be a good time to tell the story of Dusty and the tractor. I think if you work it right, that story can illustrate, in one way or the other, the majority of the proverbs.
