RWOTD {Won}
[Past tense of win.]
Well, first off…I can tell you who won the book drawing from yesterday’s post!
Random #6, which turned out to be my good friend Amber Hutchins. Yay for Amber! Let me know which book you would like and I will get it out for you! The rest of you…keep on trying. You are bound to win one of these times!
Things I have won over the years…um, let me think.
Almost nothing.
I’m just not lucky like that.
Except when it comes to the give-a-ways my friend Liz Marie does.
Apparently, when Liz does a give-a-way, luck and I collide.
I have won BOTH of the give-a-ways she has done in the past year. Yay me!
Otherwise, things I have won could be condensed into a very short list:
A contest for writing a story when I was in school
Some board games as a child
Maybe some team sports.
Yup, told you the list was extremely short!
Lately, Charlie Sheen has made quite a splash (not necessarily in a positive way) but saying a lot of random and weird stuff on TV.
One of the phrases that he coined was “winning”, but you have to say it in this certain sing songy tone of voice. Otherwise, it doesn’t make nearly as much sense. Oh, and you also have to majorly accent the first half of the word as opposed to the second half.
Did you hear that now he wants to put a trademark on some of his recent (turned popular) phrases?
I have to admit that the term “winning” has been thrown around in our household various times in the past few weeks. I don’t know if I should be ashamed of that or not, but sometime…it just fits!
Really, Charlie Sheen is a very troubled man who is fighting a lot of demons and we should probably be praying for him instead of using his “Sheen-isms” and laughing about them.
But, all of these things ^^^ are trivial compared to the big win that is coming up.
For me, for you, and for everyone else who is a follower of Jesus and has claimed the blood.
All of these bad things happen in our world. It seems at times that God is nowhere to be found.
People come into power who are evil and they mistreat their subjects. Suffering happens.
Kingdoms rise and fall.
Sometimes it seems as though the devil has free rein on the earth and we wonder when it will end.
But we know it will end.
And we know Who will win in the end. When the dust has finally settled.
Sometimes when Jeremy and I are in a discussion about things in our world and it seems pretty sad and forlorn and evil seems to abound, Jeremy will say this…
“Well, at least we know Who wins in the end!”
That’s the team I want to be on. Praise God! Because when time on this earth is over, we’ll be able to say “We won!”

Yay for Amber!!!
Well, I should do another give-a-way soon so you can win something!!! lol.
I like Jeremy’s “Well, at least we know Who wins in the end!” Isn’t that a huge comfort in tough times? I can’t wait till the old devil is defeated.
Yay AMBER!!! : ) Love the final sentence! Amen!
