Father Son Retreat

Pastor Scott Brown was talking on Friday night at the father-son retreat that you are what you read, watch, and so on. I couldn't put that any better. I like to read books with elves and dwarves and men in conflict with each other or a common enemy. I like reading battles with swords and bow and arrows. And it affects what I am like. I bet I could quote more lines in The Lord of the Rings than I could in the Bible. Sad isn't it? That is probably the biggest area I have to work on... putting God before other things. I would rather pick up a book with no meaning at all than the Bible!

I like to ask myself this question when I am listening music, "What is the message in this?" It helps me choose the right music to listen to. I might give my sister a hard time in what music she listens to because I think it has a lot of screeming in it, but it is the point of the song that matters.

Good choices I make always make me happy!=) My brother listens to a radio station every Saturday night at 9pm on the Christian radio station 101.1 KLRC or 99.1 (same thing). I don't want you to get the wrong idea but we do go to church on Sunday(because my parents teach 1st & 2nd grade children).We also listen to KLRC more than Saturday night. We go to the same homeschool group as Kade and Kole do. I need to go... so keep up the good work!=)

I like to find out what songs mean too. But sometimes I just like the way the song flows. With you.

Catechism

The Westminster Shorter Catechism
Question 82

Question: Is any man able perfectly to keep the commandments of God?
Answer: No mere man since the fall is able in this life perfectly to keep the commandments of God, but doth daily break them in thought, word, and deed.

And, in testimony of our desire, and assurance to be heard, we say, Amen.
