I know, Amy. Its supposed to get worse later this evening and tonight. Our local weather has been reporting a lot today, pre-emptying regular programs. I would like to run out before it gets too bad. I just got a shower and have to dress and maybe I can run out a few minutes. I won’t go if its dangerous because I’m a scardy-cat!

The other morning on Fox, they were talking about the women who had worn red for the Oscars and how pretty they all looked in red. They said it seemed like men loved women to wear red and guess what song they played during this segment....YES! The song we all love here at Amy’s. Did you happen to see that segment? I liked that very much.

Wow! I didn’t get to listen to that show, but it’s way cool that they played “our” song when talking about the ladies at the Oscars! Thanks for sharing that story with me! :)

Caricature God
March 3, 2012
Caricature artists set up their easels in public places and draw pictures of people who are willing to pay a modest price for a humorous image of themselves. Their drawings amuse us because they exaggerate one or more of our physical features in a way that is recognizable but funny.
Caricatures of God, on the other hand, are not funny. Exaggerating one of His attributes presents a distorted view that people easily dismiss. Like a caricature, a distorted view of God is not taken seriously. Those who see God portrayed only as an angry and demanding judge are easily lured away by someone who emphasizes mercy. Those who see God as a kindhearted grandfather will reject that image when they need justice. Those who see God as an intellectual idea rather than a living, loving being eventually find other ideas more appealing. Those who see God as a best friend often leave Him behind when they find human friends who are more to their liking.
God declares Himself to be merciful and gracious, but also just in punishing the guilty (Ex. 34:6-7).
As we put our faith into action, we need to avoid portraying God as having only our favorite attributes. We must worship all of God, not just what we like.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—
Oh, Thou blessed Trinity:
One in essence, yet three persons—
Thou, our God, we worship Thee. —D. De Haan
All-powerful, merciful, wise, and just is the God in whom we trust.
Read: Exodus 34:1-9
