Live or Die...That is the Question

Hi All!

Have you ever seen your life flash before your eyes??? Well on Saturday I did! Some friends of mine came down to Iowa to sing and play at SONFEST...it was a blast!!! We drove 4 hours to play 30 minutes...some would call that crazy, we just called it FUN...however on the drive home storms came and the rains were blinding...winds were around 70 mph...but did we pull over...oh no...you see our driver had a "important" event to get back for... Matty D was driving...now he is a great guy...Janel and I were riding...me in the back, and let me just say for a control freak, not a great place to be sitting :-)
We passed cars that were smart and pulled over...the radio reports were to stay out of the storms...but we persevered...I have never prayed harder and I believe Janel had to close her eyes...I have had a good life...but I could not believe that THIS was how I was going to die :0)

The funny part came after we ended up in St.Paul, the storm was over, we survived!...Matt looked at Janel and me and said..."It was pretty bad wasn't it...???" HELLO MCFLY!!!
So...live today as if it were your last...love hard, laugh lots and make your eternal destination secure in Jesus...

Til next we blog again,
Wendy

Fireworks and Freedom

Hey Everyone!

Hope your 4th of July was great...We were in the Forest Lake Parade. It was beyond CRAZY!!! We decided to give beach balls to everyone...they were definitely a HIT:0)

The Gordy Gang (that's us) enjoyed spectacular fireworks over Forest Lake~It was a grand day!!!

...but you know me...I can't help but think of the freedom we celebrate and the great cost of it. We are so thankful and grateful for the men and women who are serving our country as we speak, and for the generations previous who so greatly sacrificed...Words just don't seem adequate...may we never take our freedom for granted!

But even greater still is the sacrifice that took place on a hill called Calvary...where Jesus died for all mankind...Those who place their trust in Him and choose to live for Him...there is NO GREATER FREEDOM than being saved from ourselves.

The word of God says this:
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36

Celebrate the freedom we can have in Christ when He becomes our Savior!!!

Now, I must go and help the chillin's get into bed so that we can all be ready for a Wonderful Sunday at the Brook...
