I started work this week. East Bay Coffee House. Its really nice, like a high-end shop. Not too busy, not too slow. And its nice to have a job, something besides school that I'm expected to do!!
Heather had a new baby girl on Wednesday at 2:00pm. Jerusha Cathleen Jonsson, but she's being called Shae. I visited them at the hospital yesterday and they let me hold her. She's so tiny and precious, just under 5.5 lbs. She was sleeping and had lil long dark eyelashes and you could see the wisps of dark hair under her lil cap. A dark haired girl and a blonde haired blue eye Boy. Yeah, they think Jonas has pink eye. Joy, who spent all day with him Thursday? haha
So I've been thinking, yeah yeah not a good thing to do, but it happened just the same. People are so strange. You follow the law and are called "narrow minded" Sometimes I think I don't understand. Maybe it makes them feel guilty for their wrong actions. And breaking the law is wrong, just because everyone does it, doesn't make it right. Hebrews 10:32-33 is a great comfort in this matter. "Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insults and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated."
Does anyone know why immaturity runs so rampant? Is it really that hard to simple take responsibility for yourself and your actions? Maybe I was just brought up to think that my actions were a result of myself and not others. This quote was pretty awesome "Immature people become angry at other people. Mature people become angry at wrong words, wrong deeds, and wrong thoughts." Just a little something to ponder, bc its true. Instead of seeing the wrong in yourself you have to point to others. Its just like "And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye."
Luke 6:41-42 Man the Bible really does relate to every situation we go through. How amazing is that?
