  • I was watching the NBC dateline series of "How to catch an ID thief" and just couldn't believe some of the things these people were doing.

    People from all over the world, but especially Nigeria, target these Americans and carry out multi billion dollar schemes.

    And of course I felt bad for the victims who had their bank accounts drained overnight with stolen information, but I felt worse for the poor individuals who fell for "love letters", which were of course written by the criminals.

    These bad people write these ridiculous love letters (these are mass emails sent out) saying things from "I love you", "I can't stop thinking about you", "Let's get married" to "WILL YOU SEND ME MONEY?"

    I mean, how in the heck do you fall for that???

    These poor people not only send the criminals money but they end up shipping merchants purchased with stolen credit cards half way across the world spening thousands of dollars.

    They have no idea that they're being used as middle men in this crime and they think they're in love, proudly carrying around the pictures of their "online boyfriend" or even "fiance".

    Really...how sad is this?

    Like the song that goes, "all we need is Love~", I think all we really desire deep down is to love and be loved in return.

    No matter how many friends we have or how perfect our lives may seem, at the end of the day don't we all realize that we're alone and on our own?

    Well, that is if we didn't have God! And His sweet Holy Spirit!

    No earthly love or pleasure could measure up to His perfection.

    So the question is: How in the heck do people live without Him?

  • So I thought pastor Chon's sermon was such a blessing today.

    And like he said, I really do want to be able to not just SEE Him, but to SMELL Him as well.

    I've never heard anyone say that before. Smell God. Smell Jesus. And then I got to thinking, hmmph...what WOULD He smell like????

    Cotton candy? A bouquet of rose? Freshly squeezed orange juice? A summer day's breeze?

    Maybe we all live our lives with a severe case of allergy. A clogged up, stuffed sinus, so we can't smell anything.

    How yucky...and how sad.

    And then I got to some more thinking...

     

    Maybe God smells like my mom.

    Whenever she holds me, I feel so peaceful, and it makes me forget about this hectic world.

    She just has this familiar, comfortable smell that has the power to ease up the most painful thoughts inside of me.

    Even though I only get to see her once a year (if that), I am thankful for my mother and the relationship that we have.

    And of course, I am so thankful for the smell of my Abba.

    Oh, please help me to know you more.

    To be able to hold you and smell your wonderful scent one day.
