Psalm 77:1 - 3

"I cried out to God with my voice -- To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was troubled. I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed." Psalm 77: 1 - 3

Day 143 - Cough, Cold, and Curious George

Today my youngest is sick with a pretty nasty cough and cold, so we are at home snuggling up on the couch and watching the toddler DVD "Curious George."

Poor baby has bright red cheeks and a nose that just won't quit running!

Well, it IS that time of year. Everyone has this sickness.

This morning, when I was still at work, I read a neat little story. It was about a judge who ordered a man convicted of drunk driving to put a bumper sticker on his truck that read: "This vehicle driven by a convicted drunk driver."

Obviously, the man was not pleased at the judge's orders. "I'll go to alcohol treatment, but please, don't make me use that bumper sticker."

You see, this man feared the public's opinion of him far greater than he feared God's view of him.

How often do we, as Christians, do the same thing? What would our bumper stickers read: "This woman is a gossiper." Maybe another one might read: "This woman is an adulterer." Or maybe even another might read: "This woman covets her neighbor's new car."

If God were to give you a bumper sticker, what would YOURS read?
