What it is, What it is....

So I am slightly ashamed to say that my wife and I have a dog and we treat it as our daughter. I mean we don't regularly dress her up in little clothes or anything, but she is pretty spoiled. We refer to her as our "little baby girl", "booger brain", and many more sad titles. We also speak in third person when speaking to her. We say things like... "Momma (my wife) will be home soon" or "Daddy's (me) home!". Ok so I know what you're thinking...What a loser! And you're probably a little right. I like to think of it as nurturing.
Even though we love our dog as a human with great exageration she still ticks me off sometimes. I mean seriously, could she learn from her mistakes once in a while? She keeps doing the same three things over and over. She digs in the yard, she jumps on the counter, and she steals my wife's underwear! Come on already, I have said "NO!" like a trillion times!!! I just want to give up sometimes!
Have you ever sat back and realized that we are like persistant little dogs. We serve a great master yet we keep screwing up. This has been a problem since Adam and Eve in the garden yet we just can quit. The problem is that we inadvertantly choose like three little sins and we just keep doing them over, and over, and over, and over...well you get the idea. For example (sorry to call you out a little): pornography, alchoholism, drugs, pre-marital sex, consistant anger at the same people, lying, cheating, cussing,....... Please add your sin addiction here _________________! We all do it in some way, big or small, we all anger and frustrate God some times. God has got to get so frustrated with us sometimes that we never learn from our mistakes. God is our master, he is infinate and huge, yet loving, forgiving, and gracious. We don't deserve his grace.
It is time for us as "Christians" to stop hiding behind the title of "Christianity" and start living as bold, called followers of "The Way" (Jesus Christ) Run as far away from your addictions as possible, seek help from wise counsel. In doing this we will get closer to once again standing as the early church did, unashamed and brightly for the cause of Christ. Live boldly for your savior.

Luke 11:33-36
33 "No one lights a lamp and puts it in the cellar or under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see its light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light. But when it is bad, your body is also full of darkness. 35 Take care then, that the light in you is not darkness. 36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, the whole body will be full of light, as when a lamp shines its light on you."

Luke 8:16-18
16 "No one, after lighting a lamp, covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see the light. 17 For nothing is concealed that won't be revealed, and nothing hidden that won't be made known and come to light. 18 Therefore, take care how you listen. For whoever has, more will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him."
