Just to let you know we are still alive. It currently escapes our minds what to write about! And instead of making up random sentences regarding spring and what food we're eating, we thought we'd just be outright honest! Inspiration will find us again next week, I'm sure!
Actually, the more I think about it, I do want to share a couple of photos. Jessica was reluctant to let me publish these, but I just want to give you all a brief glimpse of what happens when you stick your nose where you shouldn't :-)
Unfortunately, we've a bit of a problem from time to time with these little critters, but our landlord has provided us with some excellent traps that work well (as you can see)...
I took these pictures because this reminded me of what temptation and sin are like....sometimes the bait looks very good, but like this mouse found out, the consequences can be deadly. He died with his nose on the cheese! Perhaps the worst thing that can happen sometimes is for us to actually get what we think we want...
Thankfully, God has provided a way through every temptation that we face (1 Cor. 10:13). My good friend, David Fry, used to quote James 1:12 ("Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.") when he was tempted to do wrong. Actually, I think that's a great idea...in the end, the crown of life will far outweigh any trials/temptations we've had to face--and I'd take that over the Devil's cheese any day!
