Long time - no blog. Life. Very. Busy. Spring Break is winding down, NOOO! I don't think I got anything meaningful accomplished, although there was that trip to the Hillsboro outlet mall . . .

Had an enlightening quiet time the other night - Exodus 12, talks about killin' lambs & smearin' their blood around. Good stuff. Ok - for real though; in order for the Israelites to be saved from the first-born-baby-killin' they were to sacrifice a lamb and smear it's blood on the doorframes of their houses.

God gave specific instructions to the people through Moses & Aaron - same goes for today. God gives instruction: we follow it. (At least we should.) Notice he didn't kill the lambs for the peoplel; he didn't do it for them. It takes sacrifice on our part - they gave up some lambs, who knows what God will ask us to give up? Doesn't matter - it was his in the first place.

We see by their example the grave consequences that come with disobedience.
