Yep, its time for my not so regular post.  Now I am a happily married man to an incredible woman.  I have been greatly blessed.  We've been married for a little over 2 weeks and she has yet to kick me out of the house!  Its been great.  Spent a few days in Colorado for our honeymoon, where I practically had to fight a mountain lion to save her.  At least, thats how I remember it...

26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”  -1 Cor. 1:26-31

I've recently realized how little I boast in the Lord.  He has done such marvelous work in me and all around me, how could I ever keep my mouth shut.  Its shameful that I do keep it shut and find other things to banter on about.  And not just talking about how He provides financially when we're in a bind or that He gives peace in difficult situations, but greater things than that, like the fact that He chose to reach down into the pit that I was in and pull me out placing my sin on Christ's shoulders.  I was rescued when I could not rescue myself.  The One who has done that is worth bragging about.  In Luke 19, God says that the stones would cry out if we were quiet.  I don't want a rock to tell of His greatness when I should be doing it.  Boast in the Lord today!
