| life |
March 6 Holly and I celebrated 16 years of a good and sometimes tough marriage.
Last weekend Holly and I farmed out our children (thanks again to those who had our children) and we went to the stopping place 1/2 hour south of Biggar. The above picture is the cottage. It is a fully self contained unit. Full kitchen, two person shower, hot tub,
four poster bed, 
living room etc.
Anyway Holly and I rekindled our love for one another. So often you get caught up in the daily grind of life and children that you forget the love you can share with the one God has put in your life. A person gets so occupied with activities that you dont allow time to really connect and work on your relationship. Heck tonight I watched a hockey game, 2 1/2 hours of watching a frozen puck slide around. Nothing wrong with hockey, but it gives you the picture. When we were away we focussed totally on each other. No one around, no kids, TV if we chose, but the sole purpose was our being together and I tell you it was well worth it. In fact next year I want to do it over the family day holiday so we have three days together.
One thing that I came away with was the fact that:
1. I really love my wife.
2. For a marriage to work, both parties need to sacrifice.
3. Never neglect the small things.
4. I found this week that when I was not with Holly I missed her. I couldn't keep my mind off her.
5.Texting can send you back to your courting days, to me its like sending love notes all day long.
6. I really love my wife.
Make the time, effort, and investment in your marriage or relationships, it has eternal rewards and it feels pretty good too.

| Twisted scripture |
Galatians 1:8-9
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!
9As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!
Joseph smith the founder of Mormonism, claimed that he was visited by the angel Moroni who informed him that the true gospel had been corrupted after the apostolic age and thus has been absent from the earth for nearly 19 centuries. Smith viewed his calling as a restoration of true Christianity to the world. The Mormon gospel is based on self effort, submission to baptism and for regeneration, the acceptance of Joseph Smith as Gods end time prophet, a belief in the "inspired" Mormon scriptures, and keeping the word of wisdom, which includes abstinence from caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol (doctrines and covenants, section 89), among other things. Similarly, Islam teaches that the angel Gabriel delivered the Koran to Muhammad. The apostle Paul identifies all such human or angelic revelations as "contrary" gospels and pronounced a curse upon those who proclaim a false prophet. |
