Lukewarm

Why am I suprised that some of my closest family members (closest in lineage) don't know I am a Christian?  When I really didn't know, myself?  It's obviously because I hid my light under a basket. 

You are the light of the world--like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 
No one lights a lamp and then puts in under a basket. 
Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 
~Matthew 5:14-15

I remember, in my junior-high days, my Sunday school teacher asked us,
       "What temperature do you think you should be for Jesus?  Cold, lukewarm, or hot?"   
        Everyone knew the answer wasn't 'cold'.  'Lukewarm', however, sounded comfortable. 
        "Yeah, lukewarm," we answered.  
        "Wrong," she said, "you're supposed to be on fire for God."

  2. Sweet sister, your name "Cindy" means "Bringer of Light". Yes, it does. :)

    It's so awesome that you CHOSE that name for yourself NOT knowing it's meaning...and NOW, you are living "Matthew 5:14-15" out.

    Names are meaningful and powerful! You chose your own destiny when you picked the name "Cindy"!! So cool.

    Love it...and Love you.
