Inspired to Change!

Today, I've have something totally awesome to share with you. It's life changing. No joke. For some, it might even be a matter of life or death. For others, it will be empowerment. Release. Freedom! Okay, so I'm a bit passionate about this topic. But this is Food and Fit Friday on J.A.Marx, and I'm taking the liberty to delight in my passion (one of them) because I believe God is passionate about it, too. So come check it out.

TRANSCENDING our UNDERSTANDING

Good morning from Texas! Yes, it is good despite the 100+ degree heat and the multitude of bugs. During bug season, I often enter my kitchen in the morning having to dodge the plastic bowls my daughter placed upside down on the floor the night before. She has this fear of killing bugs, no matter their size. My heart races every time I lift a bowl, not knowing what creature she has left for me to dispose of. JUST STEP ON THE STUPID THING! But if she did that, where would my morning excitement go? Sometimes I feel the same way about evil, and I tell God, "Just step on the unjust. Step on the criminal." But my author friend Jeremiah has been me to think another way. Visit J.A. Marx and join me on my trek to understand God's approach to human evil.

How awesome is that?! To delve more deeply into some things we have in common with the Israelites, then come visit today's blog at J.A. Marx.
