My Funny Mom #lewybody

I took my mom to the beauty shop to get her hair done today. We've been going there for several years, and whenever we walk in the door all of the beauticians look up from what they're doing and say "Hello Renee!" and she just loves going there. She was much more delusional and confused than usual today but at least in a good frame of mind.

They had a new gal there, Theresa. And she did my mom's hair. (We keep a photo of my mom with her hair done the way she likes it in the drawer at this little 4-booth salon, because she's no longer able to articulate her preferences.) Beautiful Theresa had dark hair with a wide streak of blue running through it - very cute on her. She had my mom's photo but had a question about it, and asked my mom to clarify something. My mother couldn't answer, so she just said, "Do whatever you want, use your imagination, I'm sure it will be fine!" Theresa said, "You don't know that, Renee, you could walk out of here with blue hair!" and without missing a beat my mom said, "Is that what happened to you?"

Everybody - including my mom, beauticians, and customers alike - just burst out laughing :). A moment of happy normalcy for my mom...wonderful!

#Christian beware...

I don't think He cares about keeping us on our toes as much as on our knees...but comfortable Christianity isn't Christianity at all. There will always be challenges, growth, discipline, rejection, and with these also joy - if we're doing it right.

Beware of cut-and-dried theologies that reduce the ways of God to a manageable formula that keeps life safe. God often does the unexplainable just to keep us on our toes -- and also on our knees.

Lazaroo – Sunday, August 7, 2011

I Lazaroo.



 


Celebrate aloud the words of this Lazaroo!


“Christ Jesus…has destroyed death…”

(2 Timothy 1:10)


It doesn’t get any bigger than this, Jesus.


You beat the big one.


But You did it by letting it beat You.


I didn’t see that coming.

Nobody did.


Not the prophets of old

not the apostles You chose while You walked this earth

not the angels in heaven


and certainly not Satan.


To say Your death was counterintuitive


is the understatement of the ages.


To win, you usually have to beat the other guy.


If he beats you, you lose.


That’s why Satan worked so hard to kill You.


But the moment You breathed Your last


Satan lost.

Forever.


So why does Satan work so hard to destroy me?


Didn’t he learn anything from his battle with You?


Doesn’t he understand that the moment I die to myself

and put all my hope in You


he’s lost me?

Forever?


Apparently not.
