I remember playing tag and hide and seek when I was a kid. When we couldn't find someone or we were tired of trying to tag someone we yelled "Ollie, Ollie, Oxen Free”. I had no idea what it really meant, but we knew the were not going to be pursued any longer. Click here for the origins of that phrase.
God pursues us today to be his children. To have a relationship with him. He is calling Ollie, Ollie, Oxen, Free to each human on this earth. Come home today. You don't have to run any longer.
Lord, thank you for calling us to a relationship with you!

I have a follow up visit with the eye doctor this morning. The eye appears to be healing very nicely. Praise God!
I had another dental issue yesterday. My temporary crown fell off. It held up for over three weeks this time! It feel out while I was eating a buckeye (go figure). I found my dentist's backup person who took the time to fix it for me. Thank you very much!
I had a great conversation with my friend. He loved the video I made for him. I wanted him to know how special he is to me and how special I feel every time he talks to me. ;-p I also reminded him he promised he would never stop singing to me! hehehe
I got a nap in, then made my new broccoli cheese casserole for the chancel choir Christmas party. It was nice. I didn't stay very late. I wanted to do a few things around the house before my friend called.
Let go, my friends! God will be there to catch you and hold you in his loving arms!
