Good People
Yesterday was Meaghans 14th birthday. She is growing into a lovely young lady. I took her and some of her friends out for lunch and then a little shopping and then to another friends birthday sleep over. They should be back soon. Any way I took the day off so I wouldn't be pressed for time to get to work after.
Last night I watched Hart's War - I liked it better than I thought I would. It was pretty good. During the commercials I was flipping, a habit I learned from Alan. On Vh1, I think it was, I found True Hollywood story about Jenna Jameson. Not that I condone pornography but it was interesting to find out how she made the decisions she made to do what she does. At the end of the program you have your evangelical fundamental Christian types saying she is going to hell be cause of the evil decisions she has made in her life. All her friends and even Jenna herself said she would go to heaven because she was a good person. Now those last 2 sentences themselves could be a huge can of worms but what made me sad was all those people saying that you could get into heaven just because you are a "good person". I could get into all kinds of reasoning about all that. I believe anyone can get into heaven if they have accepted Jesus as their Savior. Even porn stars. I kept waiting for her to say something about Jesus but it never came. I think that has been one of Satans biggest conspiracy - getting people to believe you can spend eternity with God because you are good. My understanding is that Jesus is the only way, people who are truly seeking a relationship with God.
It is another long day at the Mac Shack today. I don't mind it, mostly. Been thinking about making that money to get us to a better spot finacially. Not that I need tons of money or even want it, just want to be more responsible and get some debt taken care of. Then maybe I can quit work and work on my house. Some day. Or work at a new place with land so I can grow things. I am looking forward to that one day, if I am not too old and decrepit before it happens. God has been really faithful to pull us through some tough spots and it seems that I "owe" it to Him and me to be "a good steward". It has taken some years to learn that lesson but it has been a good one to learn. I have to go start getting ready for work.
