clogged drain

We have a manufactured home. Therefore it was built in a factory and brought to our lad and placed on here.  There are some definite advantages to this, our house doesn't look like a manufactured home, doesn't feel like the typical old school one, but there are also some major disadvantages to it.  One thing that we have noticed is that our pipes get clogged ALL the time.  Currently our stand up shower has become more like a 3 inch bath tub. 
Prior to that, our sinks were filling up with water.  My handy and handsome hubby was able to take the drain off and clean it all out so that our sinks weren't overflowing while washing our faces or brushing our teeth or just washing our hands...  Unfortunately, there is no real good way to get to the drain under the shower.  We have tried different approaches. but it is perpetually clogged up and I think that we may even go the plumber route. 
It is nasty what comes out of the clogs, it is gross stuff- hair, black tarry goop that has built up from spit and germs etc...  Do you have somewhere in your life that isn't draining properly?  Maybe you haven't cleaned out the drain and asked God to take away the nastiness in one area of your life.  Maybe there is a portion of your life that you are holding back from God.  Things are building up inside of you, but you don't want to, or don't have time to clean it all out.   You don't have to clean it out - God will come and clean it and then his water - HIS JOY can rush through your whole life again without being hindered. 
The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:13 "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart."  Are we seeking God with ALL our hearts?  Are we allowing our drains to be cleaned out of the gunk that prohibits God from flowing through our whole house?  Seek HIM with all your heart!

What do you fight about?

I heard a blood curdling scream from the other room, followed by the cries of my other child and then a smack.   I had been sitting at the computer, and leaned my head back closed my eyes, took a deep breath and went to encounter the argument head on.   Apparently my youngest daughter was playing with a stuffed giraffe that my oldest daughter sometimes sleeps with.   Amidst the crying and tears, I was able to formulate the events that took place.   My youngest daughter had gone to the toy room and gotten the giraffe (a green 16” giraffe with brown spots) out of the room and brought it into the other room.   Here, the older sister saw that the coveted giraffe was not in her room and grabbed it from her sister.   The younger one screamed and bit the older sister who then cried and hit the little sister.   As I took another cleansing breath I began dealing with the issue at hand.   It is very difficult to reason with a 2 and 3 year old and let alone a woman, so we ended up agreeing to do

do I mis-use the Bible?

WOW!   This morning I sat and started to read through Ecclesiastes.   I don’t know if the author of Ecclesiastes, Perhaps King Solomon, had a very sarcastic view on life or if he was just babbling.   But I can definitely see how this book could get a lot of people into trouble if they don’t know the full book or continue to read.   There are verses in there that say things like; eat, drink and enjoy the days on earth because they are meaningless, it is good to enjoy your time on earth and do not worry about anything. To get the full meaning of the book, you need to read it all- the true gems are the last two verses.   This book was written by someone (according to my study Bible) that was near the end of his life, he sees man in pursuit of so many things and vainly pursuing hopes and expectations- but faith teaches him that God has ordered all things according to his own purposes and that we need to accept our limitations.   The last two verses are the writers final conclusion: Eccle

predictions...

We were all privileged to see the recent hype about the end of the world coming n May 21 st 2011.   The time came and passed without a rapture, without an earthquake, without a storm…   What were those people thinking and feeling?   This prediction made so many question Christianity and question God in general.   Now there were some good aspects of this prediction.   It got people thinking and talking about salvation and their eternal destiny… and, well, that is all I can think of.   Now lets look at what the non-Christian’s saw: a man, claiming to know the answer, claiming that he was right, who had a following, a way to spread his message and an amazing amount of money which usually makes you right in America.   If you were a non-Christian and you saw this guy talking and then May 21 st came and went, you would either think that Christianity was a crock, or that everything that the Bible says is a lie because his equation came from the Bible.   I had one of my non-Christian friend
