    How Christian is my typical week? It isn't much like the options presented at all. I take care of what God has given me to care for, first and foremost: my incredible husband, injured animals, a profoundly retarded son, a home and garden. I am the wife of an incredible Christian leader and research physicist and my goal is to uphold and support him and his work at all times. My husband consciously and intently follows the direction of the Holy Spirit in his life and I follow my husband. Our home is open to friends, and sometimes strangers. There are Bible studies here officially every Wednesday evening and unofficially at any number of times. We help support two pastors' families directly as well as provide free rent for a lovely woman and her three beautiful young daughters in our guest house while she finishes school and confronts a rather vast array of medical problems.

    In short, everything we have and all of our time is at the Lord's disposal to do with as He chooses. We are His followers.

    So there is no 'typical' week, I'm afraid. Sometimes I wish there were....and other times I can only laugh at the vast variety of circumstances the Lord surrounds us with.

    Romans 6:16 -- Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living.

    So let's view the verse in its context:

    I have the gift of God, eternal life, through Jesus Christ. Yes, I am 100% Christian.
