So I have finally updated my blog! I am sorry for those whom I have upset with my lack of blogging, I shall endeavour to do better!
I had meant to write a blog for Roots, and I didn't, opps! So, I shall give you a quick wee run down of the times in Atlanta!
We flew to Atlanta, (driving was entirely too enthusiastic for us - 14 hours is a killer, there is no mini-van big enough for a trip that long!) and arrived in 60 degrees! We were terribly excited, 60 degrees in January - we were using air conditioning in January, no jackets and sometimes no sweaters; which is a terribly grandma thing to say, but it was very cool for a lassie from Scotland.
Thoughts from the weekend still pass through my mind, ideas people presented, words the Holy Spirit drew out to me, and a vision that God has been encouraging in me since I moved to the States. I say encouraging me, because I have a tendency to drift back and forth from what I think that God is saying to me. I know that it is not only my own ideas floating around my head, because there are way too many who concur this vision from their own conversations with God.
I had the priviledge of meeting this kid from Atlanta, who was rediculously intelligent at the age of 16; he sat next to me during the teen activities and he would not shut up, reminded me more than a wee bit of myself! He would not take a telling, he went on and on! He spoke of emo-Christians! What's an emo-Christian! Well, I'll tell you, cause I asked him, and he told me! An emo-Christian is someone who is all emotional about their faith. They are not not intelligent about their faith, but they are more inclined to have their relationship with Christ all about how they feel. I can understand that; as one who struggles to back up her faith intellectually because she thinks so much without actually having to know anything as fact; that made alot of sense. Emo-Christians, it was nice to learn something - that kid was awesome! I was so impressed with him!
I'm tired, so much of this will not make sense in the morning - but congrats to the Steelers!

So as to the Emo-Christians. Did not the Psalmist cry out before the Lord?
Just wondering if the balance of thinking and feeling should happen.
By the way, would love your reaction to this weekend
The more I learn, the more my heart soars!
Thinking gives roots to our trees and our branches reach higher with all the lovely sap that runs through us!!
If we are all branches and no roots we fall over. If we are all roots and no branches...where would our fruit be? no one could sit in our shade, our fruit would be hidden.
well......there you go.
