Change(d)?

Well, it is safe to say that my changes to my blog have been, not much. I still have some good ideas, just need the time. We have been chasing our tails lately with Kirsten swimming, Seth playing soccer, Drew just enjoying life, Tami planning for Wed. evening kids, tuesday morning moms, small group, sunday school and then we sometimes say Hi! to each other!! I am just glad that everyone else is as busy. So what's the advantage? Why do we do it? Is there a point to doing "good things" for the Lord? At what cost? I wonder how others felt it was worth it when they were stoned, burned, boiled, crucified (choosing upside down)? They counted the cost!! It must have been worth it. They believed and died choosing Christ!! What am I doing to count the cost? Can I gladly pick up my cross daily and follow Him? May others see Jesus in my life and be changed.
