Productive Day(s)

So I failed to blog for the last 2 days. I guess it started on Thursday when I worked an early morning shift for the first time in awhile. It was busy, but I came home on time. We are very fortunate because Ben was willing to babysit Ruth on short notice. This was the 3rd time Amy and I left Ruth with a babysitter. The first time was when she was 2 months old when Amy's mom watched her while Amy and I went out to dinner. The second time was this past December when Suzanne watched her while we went to the small group Christmas party at the Kennedys. I guess there were other days where Amy and I both worked and her parents babysat and that was for six or seven hours before Amy came home from her shift. Suzanne also came to Chicago to watch Ruth in the hotel room for an afternoon while we both had oral boards. Anyway, I digress. We had a great dinner with the Kennedys and came home to watch some basketball (Mizzou held off a Memphis comeback). Uncle Ben had successfully changed a poopy diaper for Ruth so it was a landmark night. On Friday, we met with Steve and Lisa at the Firewheel Starbucks for a leadership meeting (Lisa in her work out gear and me in my bball attire). We had great discussions and prayer at the end. The Kahn family headed to church so that I could play basketball. Amy and Ruth were kind enough to watch. We grabbed Bubba's chicken on the way to Target where Amy got nursery decorations. It was such a productive day. Amy decked out the nursery/Ruth's room while I went through my Baylor inbox and through the new T-sheet materials that we will be implementing. The night ended with more March Madness (MSU came back to beat KU).

Today, I woke up on my own and finished looking at the T-sheets and typed my thoughts on the changes. Kimbell came over to play guitar. I learned some good things from him. The Kahns then went to hang out with the Arzes. We had a great time chatting. It worked out great and hopefully we can spend more time with their family. We then went to Suzanne's to see her, Tim, and Aunt Janie. I got to see the end of the Pitt/Nova game that ended in a game winning shot at the buzzer by Villanova. Did I mention that I love March?

1 Corinthians 6:19 "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."

I forget daily that I was bought and redeemed. This body and soul belongs to Christ. We must treat it like a temple. I guess the key is remembering that the Holy Spirit is within us and connecting with this fact.

1 Corinthians 7:4 "The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife."

As it was mentioned in the previous chapter, we were bought for a price. In addition to belonging to God, we also belong to our spouse in an Earthly view. This is a wonderful gift of marriage and companionship that the Lord has provide for us. I am so thankful for my wife.

1 Corinthians 8 was a little confusing to me. I felt it was like Leviticus in that it was referring to idols, sacrifice, and food. I am going to move on now that I have caught up from the last few days when I missed out on my Scripture reading. I hear my guitar calling...
