• Spring Pool, Creditor on High, and 8-Ball Photos

  Spring Fever Allergies
  Despite my love of spring, there is one little problem.  I despise this little problem... allergies.  It attacked me last night, leaving my eyes itching and leaving me sneazing.  I can never get over this little irony of having such a love of outdoors yet having allergies.  I think it's an Ohio thing really.  Everyone who moves here says they develop allergies!  Perhaps Montana should be in my future.  In the mean time, I played pool with starbuckslover2010 the other day.  I kept interrupting our game to take pictures, but we still had fun playing.  Play pool or play cards?

  God: Ultimate Creditor (1 of 2) Credit cards and bank loans are debts that must be paid.  The payment is very specific too.  We may not pay off the debt with kind words, good intentions or considerate works.  Creditors want one thing: currency.  They'll get it too!  Sin likewise is a debt that must be paid, but payment can take an eternity.  Why do we think God should be cheated?  Because He's so loving?  He is actually.  But He is also perfection.  Since perfection cannot tolerate sin, God offered to pay the debt for us and even did so without our consent.  Christ paid the debt with His own life.  Now it is merely a matter of turning over responsibility of that debt to Him.  Accepting that payment was on our behalf and that we are now His, rather than owned by our sin debt.
