Mouse Trap

Do you remember that 70’s board game “Mouse Trap” ? (goes with photo) Hey Family, I have to let you in on a little secret. I don’t know if it is the conversations I have had this Monday-Thursday or what, but “FAMILY”. Remember the part in the movie “City Slickers” where the wise old cowboy says life is all about one thing, that thing…. And he leaves you not knowing what that one thing is. Well it is Christ, but for the purpose of my Blog today, It is all about FAMILY. I am not limiting this to the six members who sleep in this house. My sisters and their families, Tab’s sisters and their families, and the families in which our parents grew up in. This is FAMILY. Who do I know and relate with this month that I knew ten years ago? Zip. Five years ago? Very few. Yes, we do get gifts from God of new friends now and again. Unfortunately they often move on within the next set of five years. How about you? Who have you been around within the last three months (since the start of 2008) that you were partying with in 1997? See, All family. Blood is thicker than water. I know , I know…. What am I getting at? Vague, but this public journal is just a way for me to vent it out. Unless you imagine me reclined on your black leather sofa and are charging me $250 an hour (sorry – half hour session today) to read my thoughts. And if you are so inclined – analyze me! Let me know what you find. Jonathan ” I am praying that God will continue to teach you his ways. That God would fuel the fire of want for him. That you can be overtaken with making him first in your life. That the men in your family will be examples that point you to Christ.” TMarkD
