My Loop-hole

Well it's official my sister Laura has moved out of the house, she has cracked the code, flown the coop, and has found the loop-hole that has given her freedom. Now to give you an idea of why this is such a big deal:
1. Osborne's are always together
2. I, Valerie am now an only child
3. Laura's not around to make cake
4. Laura's not around to have random verbal battles with
The list my friends could go on and it may at a later date, but the real joy in all of this is Laura has really good cookies at her new apartment that she lets me eat (plus I have milk with those cookies too!). Another point I would like to make is: "Laura how in the world did you find the loop-hole and where can I find one, so I can pull it out of a hat like a magician when I need it?" If anyone would like to share their loop-holes with me, that would be very entertaining, I might even try one, as long it doesn't involve: bungee jumping, living in a tent on Queen Street, joining the Armed Forces (Navy included), getting a full body tattoo with a spike through my nose, and getting married to an Iraqi Prince. Until next time, Good Luck Laura and make sure your cookie jar is always well stocked because I will be coming soon.

Warnings

There are many warnings in our lives these days, for example: "update this blog or else", "don't put your finger in the light socket", "you are driving too fast, the cops will pull you over if you continue at your current speed of 71 in a 70 zone" (that's my personal favorite). Those warnings are all well and good, but they deal with our physical life on earth. Usually these warnings from the list above are given by a Mom or a Dad. As Christians we receive warnings from our heavenly Father, and these cannot be laughed off as easily as the light socket warning. The main warning that comes to my mind time and time again, is the warning of what will happen to the one's that we don't share our good news with: "that God does love you". That bit of news is just a small part of the story that needs to be told but that is how we should start the story, because there are people out there that believe the opposite. They think that because of what they have done God could never love them, so we need to tell them right from the start that God does love, and even though it was a long time ago that God's son was on the earth he still sent his son to show God's love to everyone.
