What is Sin?

trike posed the question to us, "what is sin?" I responded with the following:

choosing my innate, sinful desires, telling myself that they are "better", more "right" for me, or more "satisfying" to me than what God, holy and infinite, has set before me. I hate sin. I hate that I choose it over God. I am not worthy of His grace and mercy, but God ROCKS! I am alive only by His infinite worth!

what do you think??? what is sin to you?

What a great day!!!

Sunday, June 1st. I was baptized today! What an awesome day, too. Sunny and 80 degrees. There were nearly a hundred people from Hope that came out to witness and celebrate the day. We had 8 of us that were baptized today. Thank you Mom, Dad, Lisa, Steve, Samantha, Austin, Karin, Heather, Chad, Henry, Liza and BC for coming out today. It really meant a lot that you were able to share this with me.

I know it's all God, but I have to say thanks to Rob, Cor, Seth, Trike, Karin and the folks for all your support in my new life. I am so stoked to see how God is growing larger and stronger in me as I begin my new life in Him.

God Rocks!

Happy b-day, Billy! Hope India is treating you well. See you this weekend!
