The people of Nazareth had a hard time believing Jesus message because they couldn’t get over the fact they thought they knew him.  They knew his humble upbringing and how he was in their eyes just a lowly carpenter’s son.  Even though Jesus didn’t have dark past a lot of us often do.  When we decide to become a Christian is often those closest to us that have a hard accepting the new us.  They tend to remember the old person and can’t believe somebody like us can be a new person.  When I was young I drank a lot, I did drugs, and I spent most of my nights in clubs.  Now that I am older and my stepson is a young man and my oldest son is approaching his teenage years I realize I need to set the example for them.  There was trouble to get into when I was kid but nothing like today.  I am a firm believer that it all starts at home for kids.  We can’t blame the schools or society for our kid’s behavior it is our responsibility as parents to bring our kids up right.  I had always believed in God and went to church when I was young but later on I drifted away and got involved in a lot of things I shouldn’t of had but after I got married I start attending church again but at first I was just going through the motions just showing up on Sunday morning, but slowly I began to get more serious about worshipping God till here I am today.  I start writing this blog just to express the things I felt as I study the Bible.  If people choose to read great but in a lot of ways it is more for me than anything else.  I am in no way perfect, I still have a lot of things to work on in my life but I am happy and blessed with a great family a great job, a house and everything I will ever need and I thank God everyday for it all.
