Oh My! Look who's 35!
That's right, thirty-five years ago today, Christopher Guy Hitz was born. Here are just a few pictures from that wonderful day. Happy Birthday Chris! Looking forward to at least another thirty-five more.

Answer to Prayer
For the past few weeks, I have been praying that God would help me witness at work. Every time an opportunity comes along, I never think of the correct response until later. Usually the opportunities aren't specifically related to salvation, but other topics. I always think of all the Bible verses and examples to use after the conversation is over.
Yesterday, while working with IT on a computer problem, the IT guy mentioned that he had been doing some interesting research that he was really excited about. He said that he was researching angels and that his research revealed that there were several levels of angels He also mentioned a few specific angels and told me about one "special angel" that was a man who had walked with God and he was so close to God that God made him an angel. When this angel was a man his name was Enoch. Knowing that I was a Christian, he also mentioned that Enoch was in the Bible as well as 11 other Hebrew manuscripts.
Though I know the true story from the Bible about Enoch, I told him, I thought it was interesting that God would make such a "close man" an angel. If "close to God" meant he was a Christian then making him an angel would be a demotion because the Bible says that Christians are the sons and daughters of God making us co-heirs with Christ. Since Christ is higher than the angels, this would have been a demotion.
This seemed to cause him to question some of the things he had researched and I asked him were he had gotten his information. He said the internet.
Praise the Lord for giving a quick response! Hopefully, this will lead to more discussions and an opportunity to explain that we shouldn't worship angels; only the Lord Jesus Christ is worthy of our praise.

Shopping Buddies
After work today, Dani, Lori and I went shopping. Of course, Zoey and I are best buds so we stuck pretty tight as we shopped. While we were in Charlotte Rouse, looking for shoes, Zoey and I also tried on hats and we were able to snap this quick shot of our shopping experience. Though we didn't purchase anything, we had a lot of fun just spending time together.
