Dear Diary,
Well here i am, sick as can be and yet blogging away. Today is March 2nd, and the sun is shining in U.B. Mongolia. People are just now recovering from Tsagansar, and are getting back into the groove of every day life. The school books are opened once again, offices are unlocked, and relatives and loved ones leave to return to their home in the country. Over the past few days, I have been amazed at how nonbelievers can joyfully celebrate occasions without knowing the good news of Christ. I come to the conclusion that celebrations are an excuse to have no work, to get drunk, to eat lots of food, and indulge oneself in every which way you want. As Christians, we are told to love work, to certainly not get drunk, to not idolize food, and to not indulge ourselves but to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus So when the holidays come around, we should all pray for those who are lost in this world, and we ourselves should always remember that our greatest joy is in Christ Jesus. And that our greatest holiday, is the day that Jesus Christ rose from the grave.
Love Naomi

Love the creative photo.
I've always wanted to hold the sun in my arms as well.
Dear Naomi's Diary,
ReplyDeletePlease tell Naomi that her mother thinks that she is so smart with 'computer things' such as setting up her own blog site--even doing this with the flu! Let her know that I'm happy she did this so that I can see more of her creativity and visit with her in a different way. Love, Mom.
