first things first

we had quite the weekend. i feel like i lived a different life for a couple days. it was a blast. details and pictures furthur down. keep going down. i had to do it in a few blogs because it only lets me do 5 pictures at a time. anyways, today is palm sunday and below is reading from West End Presbyterian Church this morning. i'll let it speak for itself.

based on Matthew 5:1-12

"Blessed are the poor in spirit"
but we have been rich in pride.
"Blessed are those who mourn"
but we have not known much sorrow for our sin.
"Blessed are the meek"
but we are a stiff-necked people
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness"
but we are filled to the full with created things.
"Blessed are the merciful"
but we are harsh and impatient.
"Blessed are the pure in heart"
but we have impure hearts.
"Blessed are the peacemakers"
but we have not sought reconciliation.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness"
but our lives do not challenge the world.
"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me"
but we have hardly made it known that we are Yours.
