Two Funerals and Two Weddings

I know I haven't actually written in awhile. It's not that nothing's going on. Just nothing I can really write about here and sent out into that "cosmic nothing." Maybe someday.
In the meantime I am pondering the issue of two funerals and two weddings. Back in February we had a funeral for my Grandma, however there was so much snow that they couldn't bury her. So, they're scheduling another funeral for either April 24 or May 1. The problem with that is that I currently have weddings to go to on both of those dates. And on the 24th particularly, I don't want to miss it as it's a good friend from high school that I'd really like to reconnect with. As Mike said "it's hopefully her only wedding..." and then he paused as we both realized that is her only wedding but it would be Grandma's second funeral. Not to be insensitive, but...hahahahahah. That's a really funny problem. How often do you have that issue? So, still not sure what I'm going to do, but for the moment amused with the problem.

In my Bible Study this morning I was struck with the verses in Galatians 6 about "God cannot be mocked: a man reaps what he sows. He who sows to please the sinful nature will reap destruction, but he who sows to please the Spirit will reap eternal life..." My book asked, as I struggle against my sinful nature and sins that just keep tripping me up, who do I really want to win? I might say that I want to do what's right, but am I actually sowing to please the sinful nature? Of course my mind went first to living in a godly marriage and how, especially recently, we've seemed to be on a downward slope of division, irritability, and unkindness. Now I pray about it, and think about it, and worry about it, but what kinds of seeds am I sowing throughout my day. If I spend my day allowing negative thoughts, or reading books with unrealistically "romantic" marriages, or even using up all my energy so that I don't have any left at night, how can I expect to "reap" a pleasant evening of fellowship? I really appreciated that insight. Actually, my inner Quaker came out and I was wishing for some "open worship" time to share what I'd learned. :)
