I have had a slightly frustrating evening. My 20 month old son was very cranky and I had two 20 minute car trips of screaming. I have not quite mastered the skill of peaceably ignoring such things. I am able to ignore to an extent, but I get pretty irritated, stewing in the front seat. I love my son very much, but some days he can be difficult, like all children, I suppose.
Ok, there is my rant, on to more important things. I have started this new online business selling digital cards. I am not really sure how it will go, but I am praying for patience, because I think that it will take some time and effort to get it to where it will be profitable.
I also want to be more intensional about my walk with Christ or in the ways that I display my faith, which I think means I will be sponsoring some kind of Christian club at school. I think that it will be really good and I think that I am more excited than I am scared :).
As I wrap up chapter 2 in The Grace Awakening, I am reflecting on our free gift: grace. Humanism is rampant everywhere in our society, elevating our achievements and our abilities. I this chapter, Charles wants to outline that while we can do a lot as humans, we can never enter heaven without divine intervention. You can't get there by following a set of rules, as the Pharisees did, nor by working really, really hard. It is called a gift because it cannot be earned. Grace is ours for the taking, we just have to choose it.
