Been a while...
To all those who faithfully check this thing...mainly my in-laws....sorry for such a long delay in posting. Now that we are hooked up with DSL, I have gotten my google act. and can now log in!
So huraah! But still no guarantee that I will be posting very often. Time is of the essence with two little ones...
But anyways, thought I'd post about a recent experience in book-buying.
The other day I took the little ones to Salvation Army to check out the stack of 49-cent books. Usually there's one or two good ones among the pile. So I stumbled across this beautiful Bible story book. Hardcover, beautiful illustrations, Adam & Eve sufficeintly hiddn by leaves to appear "modest." I thought "Oh, this is a winner!" I flipped through the stories a bit and saw it even had portions from Ezekiel, Ezra, not just the regular Noah's Ark stuff. I thought wow, this is too good to be true!
Alas, it was. Thankfully I only spent 49-cents on it. Little E was so excited so as soon as we got home we opened to "In the Beginning" and began to read..."God made the angels...God made a special angel called Jesus." WOE!!!!! Talk about total error - what in the world!
Then I flipped to the back to see who published it. Oh, yes, Watchtower books. I wanted to burn it, but instead gave it to E and told her to put it in the trash can. Then we had a good conversation about people writing lies about God and how God would not be pleased with us if we kept that book and read it because it was full of wrong things about Him.
Now I will never forget to first check the publisher (which, I might add, on this book was rather hidden, not on the binding or in the open...) and read a few stories before purchasing a book for my kiddos.
But I praise the Lord first for the knowledge to discern the falseness right on page 1 and also that it gave opportunity to talk with E about the truth.

Hebrews 1:5-8
"For to which of the angels did He ever say: 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You?"And again: 'I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son"? But when he again brings the firstborn into the world, he says: 'Let all the angels of God worship Him.' And of the angels he says: 'Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire.'"
But to the son He says:
"Your throne, O God is forever and ever..."
