So today church was canceled on behalf of the weather! I sat here thinking what should I do! Lord knows that i have tons of stuff to accomplish! I finally came to a conclusion that I should be studying the Bible, God's word. If i were in church thats what i would be doing, right? So I formulated a question I have had in the back of my mind for some time, gathered my books, and sat down to start my study! It took some time but I have found a suitable answer! Boy oh Boy! Am I excited! I thought this was a huge accomplishment and a prayer answered! Oh by the way I prayed before starting my studying!
My question was this:
"Whom are the "chosen" or the "elected" people or the question was more of why are some chosen and some are not?"
After much thought and reading I have formulated an answer (hopefully understandable):
"Those who truly believe are the chosen, alas many believe but still will not humble and/or submit themselves to God."
Okay, so maybe I have some more work to do with this question. Right now it seems really good start. The verse that really helped and baffled me at the same time is: Matthew 22:14
"Many are called but few are chosen"

Called Off
So tonight I didn't go to work. There is a severe weather alert out here. My roommate, Karyn, wanted me to call my store to check in with to see what I should do! So I talked to my manager, Patrick, he said for me to stay home. It is bad out there the plow has not come through yet! So I'm home, just finished watching the first season and second disc of NCIS! Church tomorrow has also been canceled. Pastor Bixby called Karyn to inform her of the cancellation he was concerned that those member that live out a ways will try come to service just because he is there. So...maybe us girls will have a little session of our own!
