So I sit here listening to John Mayer's "Slow Dancing in A Burning Room" trying to begin something I have long sought. I am trying to hash out some thoughts around being an adopted child of God. Recently this has begun to make a lot more sense due to my actual circumstances. You see my little brother was recently adopted by my mother. He has been with us a little over a year but now he is ours fully. It became official on 11/19/07. Now he is of us. One thing that struck me about the whole experience was one thing the judge said to my mother as it all became complete. She said "Now this child has all the rights to any inheritance the same as a child of your own blood." (Well lets be honest I'm not sure she said it that way but that was the intention of her statement.) He was now equal before my mother and myself. As I think about this I begin to think of how we are adopted into God's family and because of Jesus we have equal right to heaven as he does. Just a thought as I sit here thinking.
Soli Deo Gloria,
Jon

Random Statement
So a random statement came to mind to night. Not sure where it came from but on some level I know it is from God. So take it with a grain of salt.
"When ever a man doesn't know the choice he should make, he should make the one that will lead him to righteousness." That's the less KJV version.
What was really in my head was this.
"The man that knows not which choice he should make should choose the path that will lead unto righteousness."
So if you would ever like to quote me you are more than welcome to. I don't say that arrogantly but just putting it out there.
