Proverbs 8:13
"The fear of the Lord is to hate evil..." (Do you ever read a verse and think to God, 'Yeah, about that...')
This is kicking my butt right now. Do I really HATE evil? Do I HATE pride, greed, doubt, lust, and fear (not of God)? I think I want to hate it and would say that I hate it but tolerate sin and evil a lot of times. Satan really has lulled most Christians to sleep when it comes to actively standing against evil. I think this mainly happens through the media. Sin is made to be normal and even humorous. Eventually, even Christians begin to forget that sin is evil and leads to death.
God has done such a work of grace in me since moving to CA. I have truly learned to love people regardless of their sin. However, I think God is going to teach me to love sinners and actively hate evil simultaneously. It really will change the way I live and pray. If I really HATE evil, I will truly fight for the evil and darkness in people's lives to be defeated. So, this is just a first pass at this verse. I'm not really sure what it will look like once it gets a little deeper in me. Just wanted to share my walk and challenge you to think about how you react to evil.

Freakin awesome chicken and Michael Jackson
I'm suuuuper busy between work and Remnant. I have been dreaming of blogging but find myself tired of my keyboard between work work and church work. So, three minor updates:
1. I'm staying on top of the Bible reading still...yeah! It is good like an old friend that I haven't talked with in a while but can just sit down and pick up where we left off.
2. I made some freakin awesome chicken. Normally, the meat is not my favorite portion of a meal...and then I made my freakin awesome chicken. Check it.
a. Ingredients: 8 chicken breasts, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 bottle Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce, 1 entire clove of garlic, black pepper, diced dehydrated onions
b. Put all of that in a crock pot and let it do it's thing for like 5-6 hours shredding it into chunks after about 3 hours of cooking.
c. Be amazed.
This was maybe the best chicken I have ever eaten in my life. My recipe making brain astounds me sometimes...and bonus that it was pretty healthy.
3. I finally watched the Michael Jackson movie "This Is It" with David last night. He might have been crazy but man could he dance. I really recommend it even if you aren't an MJ fan.
