you know as well as i do that the price of kitty litter IS IMPORTANT!!!

how dare you even suggest otherwise !

you can all have sweet fellowship with Christ and the Father in the spirit if you like but as for me and my house we will fret and worry and pay attention to any distraction going to avoid the real issues in life !

some times i just don't know if you guys are even with it!

harumph

Funny thing though, that is what I hear a lot... that we can't "ignore" what is going on in the world as if we'd be cheating in the game of life or something if we didn't vote, pick sides etc.  Someone told me that my attitude was a cop-out.   :?

food on my table.
a roof over my head.
a wife who I can share all with.
cloths on my back.
friends.
And I could keep going on but our needs are many and God knows each and everyone of them.
Thank you Joe for that post.

Thanks for all of your comments. Have you noticed that it is only in the OT that you read about nation building, worldly gain, vengeance and all of the other stuff we regularly hear on the evening news? In the NT it is about us as individuals growing in His Spirit? Putting away the flesh for the incorruptable spirit.

I've had my fill of the troubles of this world. That's why I'm here....I learned some time back to let God fight my battles. He handles them much better than me.

Thanks for the post Joe....we all need to be reminded of this from time to time.

Sorin:
Great post Joe! I must confess I'm guilty of letting the worldy troubles come between God and I. I've been feeling pretty down lately about "worldy" things
, but I have learned that the reason for this was because I need to put God first. And that God is causing this to get me to realize the error of my ways.
In other words, I have put the things I wanted or idolized above God, and
God is not  pleased with being second place. So of course He had to humble
me. :oops:
