The visitors

I am doing this just because it has become a funny topic of conversation.  Anytime something funny is said... David makes the comment... is this going to show up on the blog?  Why yes it is!

Tonight we were talking while making dinner and the comment is made that women cause all the drama...just look at all the tv shows.  And when women are dramatic this causes problems that men have to fix. 

I am not going to be dramatic and name any names of who said this first comment but I responded with if men were more intentional then maybe women would create less drama. 

There is a purpose for this blog and it ties into the children's church lesson this morning on the sin in the garden of Eden and not casting blame.  This is a huge cultural issue here... it is always someone else's fault.... responsibility is not taken...and an excuse is always available.

Let's ponder Adam and Eve's situation for a minute... the disobedience has occured... God goes to Adam who is supposed to be the spiritual leader of his household... Adam responds to the all knowing God of the universe... this woman that you made gave it to me... then Eve chimes in... it wasn't me... the snake made me do it. (Yes I am putting it into my own words!)... can you just see all the pointing of fingers!

Being responsible is taking the consequences in a given situation rather than trying to get someone else in trouble.  Don't blame the manufacturer of a product whem it was your carelessness in the first place that broke the item.  When you have done something wrong, step up admit the wrong, say sorry, and make the situation right.

Scripture seems to reference that Adam was standing by the side of his bride when the snake was asking the question.... did God really say?  When I get to meet Adam face to face in heaven... I am going to ask why he didn't intervene and tell the snake "yes... God did say and I am casting you away!"

So men be the responsible leader in your household...protect your wife and model what it looks like to not cast the blame on others. Women... let your husbands lead and protect you and also model to the little eyes watching what it looks like to take responsibility for your actions!
