Heavy post. <br /><br />I always considered myself the good kid, but because my actions went against what my family thought they should be, I was considered the black sheep of the family. ie:<br />- I read books in my room vice staring at the tube with the family<br />- I went to technical vice high school<br />- I joined the military vice getting a 'normal' job<br /><br />And Anita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759232889762510956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-2874230416151669072012-01-19T13:36:27.287-05:002012-01-19T13:36:27.287-05:00Great post, Lisa.

It's all a matter of degree isn't it? We think because we haven't sinned as much as someone else that we should have more rewards. But it's all sin! If we avoid consequences that's because God is gracious, not because we don't deserve them. <br /><br />God please guard my heart from Lisa Karon Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175430876079208723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-82009543830234185302012-01-19T10:06:47.714-05:002012-01-19T10:06:47.714-05:00Ha, Deb.

Basically, the woman didn't think Dandelion deserved a happy ending, even though she had completely turned her life around and submitted it to God. Said she didn't suffer enough consequences. Whatever! I happen to think God is a God of redemption, grace, and mercy. None of us can ever be good enough to earn a happy ending.

Believe me I have played EB way too often. When I really have my heart set on something I tend to think that God must give it to me.

Being saved from Hell apparently doesn't feel like 'enough'!<br /><br />Here's what I think- throughout the bible and in countless sermons and messages, we hear about how God Blesses his Children.
