Dec. 3rd

Seriously, I am having a week.  A week where I forget what time my son gets out of school.  A week where I almost put a post on my wrong blog.  One that would not go over well with some people who read that blog.  Why this blog is more private.  Anyway, I figured out finally that I posted on the wrong blog, deleted it and now get to type it all over.  Fun times.  And it's only Day 3 (Jesus is the reason, Jesus is the reason...I have to keep saying that to myself)
Here we go:
God's love.  I think people just really don't understand it.  I am not saying I fully understand it myself but it saddens me to think of so many people in our world who live without knowing God loves them.  Today I read a discussion page (on Amazon of all places) where someone brought up the topic "why do Christians pray for Obama to die?" I actually know people who feel that way.  By that, I mean I know strong Christians who feel that way.  Really?? How can someone profess God's love on one hand and pray for the death of another human being on the other? I don't get it. It is easy to try to justify it, I mean there are people like Hitler, Sadam Hussein, Mussolini who were truly horrible people (among many others in history) who brought death and destruction to their countries.  If were under any of them, I might pray for their death.  But I honestly find it hard to believe that Obama is in those categories. But that doesn't really matter does it?  It doesn't matter that they are the most horrible peron on earth or just someone who is misguided.  The truth of the matter is God loves us.  Period.  We are all sinners.  Every...single....one....of....us.  And I truly believe that killing a person is the same as a lie in God's book.  Not in a human book.  Someone who murders should go to prison, someone who lies should not necessarily.  But God loves us all.  Equally.  He loved us enough to send His son as a baby to die for us.  He knew.  He knew His son would eventually be tortured and put to a horrible death.  And He did it anyway.  I don't think that I, as a mother, could do the same.  Could have a baby knowing something like that.  But He did it.  For you.  For me.  For Hitler even.  He did it.
God's love.  Amazing.
