GREAT Saturday

It was a great day yesterday! Not only was the weather a refresher I was needing (I mean common, can we say GORGEOUS!) but the day went smoothly and went off without a hitch. VE and I spent the day playing and hanging out, met Rudy for lunch at pancheros (HIS favorite!) and then we all came back here and hung out together until I left for church with molly. Church was great. I feel like I am learning so much more than ever before. I love how he doesnt only talk about the Bible in a "these people who do this suck and are going to hell, only us good people are going to heaven so never mess up...!" type of manner and instead really TEACHES. We talked about Paul last night and after going to church my entire life I never really got who paul was, I didnt know that he used to be a pharasy, I didnt know that he wrote most of the new testement while in jail, I didnt know his relationship with people and it was so clear last night...like a very well explained story and I was amazed that I had heard Paul be talked about in church my whole life but NEVER did a pastor take 30 minutes to give the history and "backstory" about it. I guess I need that because it makes the sermen that much more meaningful for me. The pastor was talking about nero (whom I had never heard of before. Maybe I just suck at listening?) and how he hated Christians so much that when he would have a huge party he would dip Christians in oil and hang them in cages from his ceiling and use the burning Christians as lighting for his party. The way he explained it just gave me chills and realized how far Christians have come in the years past. Another thing I love is that Pastor also talks about his own sins. Its not the basis of his lesson by anymeans but he does use them as examples so instead of using "other sinners" as examples he will say like " a while back i was struggling with this....and I didnt want to listen to God...and this is where it got me...etc etc." Its just neat to feel like he is teaching and not lecturing. I dont know- Im just super glad we are going. Like a million people have approached us about joining a Bible study with them so it might be something we try otu this week..,.

anyways, today we are meeting Rudy's sister and bro in law (pretty mcuh) for lunch at PF changs. MMMM love that place. Alright, gotta go tend do the little one.

Have a great weekend.
PS Thunderstorms in the forcast for Tomorrow....AWESOME!!!
