Hey Gang.  It's been a while since I've blogged.  I'll blame it on "technical difficulties".  Anyway, I'm sitting in my office working on FAM & Reunion lessons while listening to my favorite Christian band - Relient K.  As you know, for FAM we are currently going through a series called "Essential Theology".  Personally, I'm really enjoying this series.  It's stretching me spiritually and hopefully you too.

The one thought I had for today is something we mentioned two weeks ago.  "God needs nothing, but He has everything to offer.  We bring nothing to the table, and are reliant on Him for everything."  

Think about that!  We are utterly hopeless and helpless on our own.  We are like newborn babies without parents.  We can't do a thing but cry and make messes everywhere.  No matter how highly we think of ourselves or how many "things" we acquire - we are nothing alone.  It's only when we partner with God that we become something.  When we sync our lives up with Him, through Jesus, then we become blessed children of the King! 

So, which are you?  Are you the helpless newborn baby or are you the blessed child of the King?  My prayer is that you are the latter.  I can honestly say that it is SWEET being a Christian.  It's not always roses, but God has provided and protected me thus far.  He truly is all we need.  Hope you find encouragment through this today.
