April fool and the real Fool
Today is the first of April aka April fool. The world system allows for a day where people can lie and do pranks on each other as though man is honest throughout the rest of the days of the year.
Here's what Scripture has to say about the Fool.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. ... (Psalm 14:1)
The only fool today is the one who does not worship the risen Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, son of God and son of man, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; (1 Timothy 1:15).
NO PRANKS HERE.
The Lord Jesus Christ rose from the grave. This was no prank. HE conquered death, ascended into heaven and with his blood made atonement for all our sins. This too was no prank. By his wisdom, through the cross of Calvary, God made a folly out of all the forces of evil.
BUT WAIT!
Did you know that God has room for foolishenss too? Yes, God can use a certain type of foolishness to bring him glory. It is discussed in 1 Corinthians 1:21. Here is what it says: For after that in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe....
.
THE TRUTH IS.
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. (Rom 16:27)
Where are You?
Anyways, as for April Fool's--i think it's fun. Between my siblings, its fun to play jokes on each other and then laugh about it. April Fool's is not something that's about deceit for us (and I really don't think that people use April Fool's as a training ground for learning how to lie effectively). It's just (for example) telling James that there's a bee behind him and then waiting for him to turn around and look for the bee so that I can start tickling him.
If there's any holiday we should complain about, I would probably choose National Day of Silence (it's for homosexuals)

We are making a real push at finishing the house. Most probably Georges got your e-mail but has not had time to answer for lack of time. We are moving this Friday and a lot remains to be done still. As for the goole account, it is confusing, I know. If I remember correctly, you would have to sign in as a new blogger when you want to post a comment, i.e. when the window opens do not choose "old blogger", go to "new blogger" and the system will prompt you to open a google account. You would have to memorize your new account and password. You could always keep the same name which appears on the internet.
Have you decided yet about college?
