Comments on: Leaving a Legacy http://www.bencotten.net/media/video/jacobs_legacy/ This is my story and I'm sticking to it.

I preached on Jacob twice this past weekend! Likewise, I have had some serious smackdown encounters with the Almighty and I deeply appreciate that God didn't omit the unsavory or even scandalous characters like Jacob from the Bible. I mean really...think about it...Jacob was a lowdown deceiver and flat out liar! Imagine if he was YOUR little brother and duped you out of your inheritance and then masqueraded to be you in receiving the father's all important blessing! Maybe it says something for Esau that he didn't go the way of Cain... There's a quote from C.S. Lewis that goes something like this: "Beware the Christian leader who walks not with a limp." Amen.

Amen.

And imagine the gift you an Judd are giving your children and their children, etc. by following the path God has given you. Your grandkids will not have to start from a standstill like you had to, but will be able to pick up where you leave off. It's an awesome thought. I watched Walker the other day and cracked up too! His movies were so much better. I don't know what happened. I think he got saved. As for Heather, I'm trying to talk her into starting her own blog. She has a lot to say and I'm the only one that hears it! Go over to her posts and bug her about it... Maybe the two of us can convince her.

I am so thankful that God chose to spare me and my family from the dysfunctional cycle we were in. Every now and then, I'm reminded of how far we've come, and I'm speechless. Those people at KCC are blessed to have Heather and you! BTW, she should guest blog for you again, I loved her posts. You watch Chuck Norris Movies!? Heathen! J/K, when Emma was a baby, we had to keep the lights down in the afternoon, so she would open her eyes, thus sleeping at night. Judd and I watched Walker Texas Ranger almost every day. Now, when we see the reruns on, we laugh hysterically. We were sure she'd be a 4 year old blackbelt. This is such an important message.
