10 Reasons Why I Hate Snow In April

10) I really wanted to start mowing my lawn -- As someone said last night I hurried up and mowed my lawn right before it started snowing just to say that I mowed my lawn in the snow

9) It is really hard to kick a soccer ball in 8 inches of snow

8) I can't ride my bike until it melts -- this year I had actually started riding my bike in March and now it sits in the garage

7) My kids are bouncing off the walls inside the house and it is way too wet for them to be outside

6) I put away my winter coat and I am too stubborn to get it back out.

5) My snowblower actually plugged up because the snow was too wet

4) I ran out of salt for my driveway -- sorry for those who came over last night

3) Someone is going to make a song titled "White Easter"

2) I am going to push the next person who says Merry Christmas into a snow bank

1) Last night when picking up Hannah from school I ran through too much slush and my belt that controls the power steering, and bunch of other stuff got pushed off and my car is temporarily dead. When I realized that the power steering didn't work I stopped the car looked underneath the hood and it looked like I had run over Frosty -- the bottom was completely packed with snow and had pushed the belt off. As we get ready to start our MYTHBUSTER series -- Sex Edition I think this is a great reminder of what happens in our sexual lives. We get all of this junk that builds up in our lives from images, peer pressure, Satan's lies, etc... and it kind of grows and grows and we don't even realize it is there until the belt comes off and we no longer have power steering and we don't feel like we can control our lives or we end up in a mess, feeling like we have no control over our lives.

Well, hopefully I didn't do any serious damage to the car, I am sure the mechanic will fix it and it will work like it did before. Same as God fixing us, releasing us from the junk that builds up, the shame of our sexual past, the guilt of unworthiness. We may still have to deal with the consequences of broken relationships and addictions (just like I will have to pay the mechanic) but God will not hold it over you or me about our past if we ask Him to take it from us. If you are in high school in Kalamazoo -- join us for the next 4 Sundays as we talk about the myths of sex in the 21st Century.
