Fun with Friends

Today we headed to the zoo with some friends. Boog's lesson today covered the 6th day of creation which made it a good day to head over and see some animals.

Here is a pic of the group, we had a great time. Of course we could never get all of them looking at the camera at the same time.

Fun Times with Friends at the Park

It was such a beautiful day today, almost like Spring. We got out and enjoyed it while we could. It was 75 degrees today and sunny, but tomorrow will be back down into the 50's. I hope the kids were able to get out some of their energy, I swear they ran for 2 hours straight.

Staying friends with non-belivers... thoughts and a little vent.

I have been having such internal conflicts with this recently. I am part of an online board that is a break off from a miscarriage support forum. There are about 40 of us that post very regularly. We are very diverse, Christian, Athiests, Agnositic, Catholic, Wiccan and so on. We are very close and have learned a lot about and from each other of the last few years we have been together. I am very close to many of these ladies, but some times posts get going that bash my personal beliefs. I usually just stay away from them and just discuss other things with these ladies. I really do not expect anything different from non-believers. However, at times there are a few of them that like to try and entice us(Christians) into a debate when there is no reason to enter. The sole reason is to try and show how our christian beliefs are wrong or twisted.

I really like to know how these friends are doing, but sometimes I feel the need to walk away. So I don't know if I need to just take a break, keep on going and try to show the love of Christ to these ladies when opportunity presents itself or just break away completely??

I always go back to the argument that Jesus spent time among the sinners, to show himself to them. I do not want to be the type of Christian who hides among those who only believe the same way I do. I just really don't know what to do.
