A long time

Today was the first day I read the Bible again. It has been so long, and I read in the Book of Jeremiah. My thought was this, God spoke to Jeremiah in the womb, he said "Before I formed you in the Womb, I knew you, before you were born I set you apart". Chapter 1:5. So many people use that verse to try to defer abortions, stating that God knew you and created you, no matter what. Now, first let me say, I believe that. I believe that God created me and has a plan for me. But..... you know there is always a but.....How do we know for sure that we are to take that scripture and use it for what "we think" it applies to. No where does it say use this to prove your point about abortions. As far as that goes, I guess you can say that about the entire Bible. So, I guess this is the stage of your own Christian walk that you have to believe, you have to believe Gods word, you have to Believe His love for you and me, and then you will know if this is to pertain to you or not. I can not tell you what part of the Bible should or should not pertain to you, and I can tell you I do Believe there is a God. A good friend of mine once told me, and it was so true, that let's say there is not a God, let's say for kicks and giggles, He is not real. So you live your life a little nicer than most, your happier and can handle things better, because you believe there is a God to help you though it and then when you die, you end up where ever, or you come back as a puppy......Now lets say there is a God when you die, and you did not live your life as there was one, you turned your back, you did not believe (becuse that is really all you have to do, is Believe, it is not like you have to paint your body purple or some crazy thing like that to become a Christian) And when you die.......Do you really want to see what Hell looks like, are you wiling to take that chance??????

So, again I picked up my Bible today, I have not read it in a long time, I am still hurting about Kenny and lots of things I guess, but in that reading I took away for me, that God is still here and He is still in control and If I repent and ask Him he will make himself known. I will keep you posted.....
