The Blizzard

This was an intense snowball fight between me, my wife Lydia (the one with the rocket arm), the Blizzard (also known as Jake Walker), and his fiance Kara "soon to be" Walker.

Jake and Kara have been a real joy to be around. I met Jake a little over a year ago....is that right Jake?....and soon after met Kara. We (me, lydia, jake, and kara) started meeting up once a week and studying the Scriptures on marriage and other related topics. One thing encouraging about them is that they really seem to be coming to God's word with a blank slate. What I mean is.....They are trying to come to God's word with no preconceived notions about marriage, being a husband, being a wife, children, money, etc.... " Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on you own understanding" (Prov 3:5) So then trust God, believe His word, and don't be led by your common sense. "the thoughts of man are futile, blessed is the man whom You instruct O lord" (Psalm 94:11). It has been said often that God gave us common sense and we should use it...But I disagree. God has said "don't lean on your own understanding" and "the thoughts of man are futile" If Gideon would have used common sense he would have never went to war with only 300 men. If Joshua would have used common sense he would have never walked around the walls of Jericho. If David would have used common sense he would have never faced off with Goliath. The 10 men who spied out the promised land did use there common sense and suffered the consequenses of missing out on the Lord's promise! The thoughts of man are useless!! Lord, instruct us...open our eyes to Your Word...help our unbelief!!

Jake and Kara: Keep seeking the Lord! "Send out Your light and Your truth, let them guide me."
