What Do You Want?

In Matthew chapter 20, beginning at verse 20, we see a mother with her two sons approaching Jesus, and as the mother kneels before Him, Jesus presents her with a question for the ages. He asks, "what do you want?" And with great boldness, she responds by telling (not asking) Jesus to make a couple of "Kingdom Reservations." Kingdom Reservations...the seats to the right and to the left of Jesus. One for John and the other for James.

I have been wrestling with Jesus' question for the past couple of weeks and have been wondering what my response would have been. What would yours be? And what would your response reveal about who you are?

I hope you wrestle with this question as well. "What do you Want?" To serve or to be served...

Overjoyed

There are many things in life that possess the ability to make me happy. There are, however, very few things that bring me joy. I just received information regarding a friend I haven't seen in a year and a half. He and his family are coming to visit for the weekend and it has me very much overjoyed. I am lost in anticipation for their arrival.

This is a picture of him. Don't be fooled by his appearance. He is normally very well groomed and his personality is quite inviting. He loves Jesus and his life is an obvious reflection of it.

So, I have a question for you. What is it that would have you overjoyed?

Blog? Why?

Is having a blog being a bit presumptuous? Does anyone really care about what i think, have to say, what i like, etc.? My concern is this: is blogging really, in the end, all about the blogger and what other people have to say about him/her? Still working through this one:)
