Question of the Whenever 10-15-2008

Whenever is now.

When you see Jesus what will your reaction be?

This question came in my mind the other day in church when we sang the song When we all get to Heaven. The part that says when we all see Jesus we'll sing and shout the victory. I've probably sang that song a hundred times but for some reason Sunday the words "shout the victory" struck me as an interesting.

SHOUT THE VICTORY -

These words make me think of a sporting event when your team wins the big game.

Question of the Whenever

I was thinking about having a Question of the Day but that is to much of a commitment. What if I don't have the time or even a question everyday. Then I thought maybe a question of the week but I'm to impatient. What if I think of a good question today? That would be to long to wait. So I have come up with the Question of the Whenever. These questions will be posted whenever. Some are deep questions some not so much. You don't have to reply if you don't want to but you are welcome to if you want. So here it goes.

The Question of Whenever.

Do you think that our view of God is effected by how other people act?

Let me give you an example.

Some have said that some people's view of their heavenly father can be based on our their earthly father.
or
If your whole life has been filled with people treating you badly does this effect how you see God?

Is this part of the reason why some of us have a hard time surrendering to God's will?

Sorry if this is confusing. It's the first Question of the Whenever so give me a break. I'll try better next time whenever that will be.

My daughter the detective

This is how it went down the best that I can remember.

It was a warm summer evening and our family was enjoying a lovely meal of Chicken Rice a Roni.

It’s the San Francisco treat you know.

When Holt comes out of nowhere with a statement of daddy did you know it was good to be in jail.

What? I replied.

He repeated the statement again.

After further discussion we come to realize that he found this out in bible class.

Oh, ok we get it now he is talking about someone in the bible.

This brings on the question of whom.

We had a pretty good guess but decided to let Holt share with us. We asked who was in jail?

No reply.

I asked him if it was Jesus. (I know that Jesus did not do any jail time here during his time here on Earth but with a three yr old sometimes they rather repeat what you say than actually think about what the correct answer is)

He said no.

Then after several failed attempts by Susan and I to get Holt to spill the beans on who was in the slammer that’s when it happened.

Abi says here is a better question “ Holt who are learning about in class?”

She was right Holt sang like a canary.

If you are wondering it was Peter who was spending time in the clink.

Holt told us the whole story.

We then confirmed that Holt knew it wasn’t good to be in jail for doing bad things.

I'm sure Holt's teacher wasn't expecting that's what Holt would remember most about class.

Yes, I was shown up by a 6 yr old(6yrs and almost 11 months). Good question Abi.
