That time again

my my, look at the time...time to blog...

Lot's have happened this last month...We sold my reliable and wonderful gas efficient Rav4 and got another reliable and not quite so gas efficient car, but still pretty good...Honda pilot. Mainly, the reason being is the Rav 4 was just not fitting our growing family any more.


So we sold the old car and bought the new used car on craiglist and both families that we had to interact with where surprisingly nice, considerate, and just like us... just folks living their life and trying not to get ripped off in the process of buying or selling a large item..



I enjoyed getting to know these families briefly and makes me wonder, how many more nice and down to earth people out there in my community that I haven't met? They didn't go to church, but that shouldn't be the only place to get to know people?...right? We did try getting a car from a dealership and that was not such a pleasant experience. In the end, we thought it wasn't the best place to find a reliable car and where people were completely honest....It's rather a long story.



I've pondered how deep and amazing God's forgiveness and mercy is and for the things I hear other people do and I gasp with disbelief or form my own opinion that I really want God's perspective on the whole deal and to not rely or settle for just what I think of something. It's just re-enforced to me how that I'm responsible for my life and how I life it and to remember that when I start to gasp. .....


Still waiting for spring to stay but hey....this variety in the weather can be kinda've nice, or I'll choose to enjoy it.
