Are You a Christian...

Are you a Christian or do you just go to Church?

So I'm sure I got your attention with that question!  I probably even offended some of you.  I'm impressed that you kept reading.  Of course, I'm not saying going to church is wrong.  What I'm saying is that 'just' going to church is wrong.

Being a true Christian is a way of life.  It's not an hour or two on Sunday, it's the way you live every minute of every day.  True Christians give others the benefit of the doubt.  They are always looking for service opportunities.  They're striking up conversations with random people in the checkout line just so that they can possibly share the Gospel.  There's a prayer in their hearts at all times.  When something good happens they automatically thank God.  When they're in trouble they ask for His help first.  They're constantly listening for the voice of the Holy Ghost.  They're always wondering if they're on the path to Heaven.  They often ask themselves 'what would Jesus do' and then they do it.  Their Scriptures are close by and they read them often.  The Scriptures are the Word of God after all, and a true Christian heart yearns to hear from Him.  Others recognize something different in a true Christian and want whatever it is that makes them different.

So with all that said, I ask again, are you a true Christian or do you just go to church?

Homemade Hay Holder

I made a holder for the hay because my goats were scattering it all over and for some reason they like to pee on the hay. 😝

Aside from the welded fence, I only needed some fence staples or long screws, a hammer and a small pallet.

 

I put the small pallet in the stall against the back wall and then tacked the fence to the wall and the pallet, cutting it when it made a full circle.  If I would have been able to find the fence stables, I would have used those but I just bent some long nails over to hold the fence.  The goats may less of a mess and not as much hay is wasted!

Talking to a Bird at the Zoo

This male bird kept answering my daughter's call, probably thought she was an opposing male, lol!
