Change Your Mind
. . . repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance. Acts 26:20
One of my favorite Peanuts comic strips features Charlie Brown saying to Snoopy, I hear youre writing a book on theology. I hope you have a good title. Snoopy responds, I have the perfect title: Has It Ever Occurred To You That You Might Be Wrong?
Snoopys title reminds us that our understanding of God and what He requires of us is sometimes twisted. Because our wrong beliefs lead to wrong behavior, we need to repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance (Acts 26:20).
The Greek word translated repent is metanoeo, which means change your mind. As Paul indicated, repentance does not mean just nodding in polite agreement with God, and continuing the same way we were going. When we turn our thoughts toward Godwhen we truly agree with Him about what is rightour behavior will follow. Like a car, we go in the direction we are pointed. So, when we truly turn our minds and hearts toward God, our actions change accordingly.
Instead of going happily along, assuming that our choices are right, we need to regularly stop and ask ourselves Snoopys question. As Paul taught, it is only when we are willing to admit being wrong that we can be certain of being right with God.
We must acknowledge when were wrong,
Confessing it as sin,
If we would know Gods power to heal
And cleanse us from within. Fasick
Either we conform our desires to the truth or we conform the truth to our desires. Os Guinness

I made the fry bread (according to the recipe) this morning - but I halved it. They turned out VERY much like sopapillas - and I sprinkled them with powdered sugar. The first one was a bit too puffy, though. So, I made a half moon shaped slice in the center of the rolled out dough, and the rest turned out much better. (Make your golf-ball sized piece of dough about 4” to 5” inches round, with rolling pin on floured surface.)
These WILL be made again! They are delicious!

Yayyyyyyyyyy!
I’m so glad!

Cats are Wonderful Friends
Gentle eyes that see so much,
paws that have the quiet touch,
Purrs to signal "all is well"
and show more love than words could tell.
Graceful movements touched with pride,
a calming presence by our side --
A friendship that takes time to grow --
Small wonder why we love them so.
