Locks and a Drumset

Yesterday, thanks to a gift not yet received from two dear friends, we were able to buy a drumset, making our band almost complete. We also installed several deadbolt locks on the main outside door and also on the inside where we keep all of the instruments.

We are going through a Bible study called "Discipleship with a Purpose" on Sundays, and are currently considering the cost of discipleship and its implications on the life of a disciple. The following quote is relevant.

Quote of the Day:

Sadly, some Christians and Christian leaders, while not denying the cross, prefer to keep it out of plain view because they wrongly believe that nice, decent people hate to have their sensibilities offended by such violence and gore. Consequently, the word has gotten out that being a Christian is about avoiding the suffering, pain, and horrors of this life by living in a safe, zip-locked Christian plastic bag filled with diversionary worship songs to prom-date Jesus so we don’t have to pick up any cross or shed any tears.

Vintage Jesus, by Driscoll and Breshears, p. 119
