“I am God”… NOT!

I was working on my computer the other day, while nonchalantly listening to the conversation between the four teenagers sitting in my living room.  (Not really “spying” per se, but yes, my ears were opened to hearing what they were sharing with each other!)

Then suddenly they started talking about God!  Now, normally this would have thrilled me to bits… unfortunately this time, they were claiming the title for themselves saying “I am God” and “You are God.” 

Now I am sure that it was all done in jest, but I just made a comment to them, that I wondered what God would think about that….

Fortunately, a friend sent along a link to a site called “I Am Second.” I am praying that the HOLY SPIRIT will speak to their hearts quickly about this issue… because God is the Great I AM…. and they are NOT!! 

Check out the testimony of Mike Huckabee, Presidential Candidate…. It kind of puts things into perspective.  I am second.

“Mom, who’s paying for my wedding?”

I just read a Focus on the Family article which reminded me of a question my daughter asked me a couple of months ago.  Mikayla and I had been watching an episode of “Rich Bride, Poor Bride”  when out of the blue she asked; “Mom, who’s paying for my wedding?”

I have to admit to being a little unprepared for this question.  You see, my daughter doesn’t have a boyfriend (that I am aware of anyways) and is ONLY 14 years old.  Adding to the shock value of this question, was the fact that we had just finished watching a show where the total cost of the “Princess Bride Wedding” was well over $50,000. 

I made note of the question on my ‘Facebook” status and thoroughly enjoyed all the responses to my predicament.  I think that I will keep them hidden away in her Baby book and bring them out for a laugh at her actual wedding (hopefully several years down the road!)

Anyway, back to the Focus on the Family article that got me thinking about this again.  The title of the article was Considering the case for early marriage - Focus on the Family article by Jim Daly.

Daly noted several points that are worth considering, but the gist of the article flows from the thought by Dr. Mark Regnerus, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Texas that “Christians have spent too much time promoting abstinence before marriage and too little promoting marriage as a viable option institution for Twenty-something believers.” 

Brides in biblical days actually got married in their teens… They say that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was probably between 13 and 15 when she married Joseph.  And of course, there were those  “pre-arranged marriages.”  I wonder what the Twenty-something's of today would think of those?

Just possibly this all this comes down to the fact that we have actually been fighting the wrong battle… Maybe we should have been focusing on the real war; the attack against Marriage as God originally intended it…

The marriage of one man

and  one woman…

For Life… And Life

Eternal!
