Erica and I are doing a Bible study together reading Galatians. This is just a thought I had about being a light to the world. Maybe I'm way off with it... you can decide.
Gal 2:14 b says
If thou, being a Jew,livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Sounds like "be ye in the world, but not of it." It's true, if we look, act, talk, dress, like the world and have their same problems why would they want to be like us? How am I a witness for Christ if people look at me an see someone just like them. Why would they want to be like me? How can my light shine? How could we tell people that it's better to be God's child, if we are not?Or at least don't look like one?

You really hit the mark with that one!! You are an inspiration!
You make me want to go shine for the world. To let them see how great it is to be a child of God!!
Yep. I think you've got it. Oh great, I have been so busy today. And I can't e-mail on Sunday. I'll e-mail about Gal. 3 on Monday! (Sorry I am being so tardy with this...)
Very interesting, Lyd.

I really like your blog!
You write really great post!
Maybe if you reply to other peoples comments they would comment more. This is just a suggestion please don't take it wrong.
I really don't want to offend you! I'm just trying to help.

Thanks for the nice comments Kourt! I will post soon, I'm sorry I haven't, been busy, but I will on the marrow!
Lydia
P.S. I sent the letter today!!
Thanks Lydia!
I wasn't saying that you should post more. No indeed. I would be the last one to tell you that. I was just suggesting that you reply to peoples comments. Like you did mine. You may have understood that, and we mite just be having a communication gap. I don't know. Sometimes I just don't get it.You can ask Erica, she'll tell you about our gaps.(mostly on my side) You mite think this is long and blaby. And I mite not be making any since. If so, I'm sorry. It's kinda hard to understand someone that you don't really know.
Have a great day!:D
Kourtney
P.S. If you want we could start e-mailing each other.(Erica has my address) That's just if YOU want. We don't have to.
