| Grandma...how awesome is that? A brand new chapter in a very richly blessed life. Thank you Father, Your grace is still truly amazing. | | |
| Are you standing on the Word of God, or treading on God's Word by compromising it one verse at a time? When it comes to the Bible, it is either what it is...the living truth, or it isn't. When did we in America begin deciding to take part of it as relevant and the rest of it as out-dated legalism? Look at Ken Ham's state of the nation....it will sting, I promise. I love God's Word, and am very grateful that He has kept it for us. How much longer before it is taken away from us as part of the hate crimes bill or some other legislation.As our "famous" leader has said..."what ever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation." | | |
| My color change is to show support for the people in Iran who are risking everything they have for the chance to be heard. I am in prayer for them all, but especially for my Christian brothers and sisters there. And isn't it ironic, that while they are standing up and fighting for their liberty, we here are rolling over in submission and losing our feedoms at a break neck pace, more concerned with Michael Jackson than with the infidelity of our leaders and our nation's relationship to God Almighty. May He be merciful toward us all. One last thought, is there anyone else out there who is wondering about a brand new Theocracy? One very similar to the nation of Israel. The Lord God still blesses those who follow Him and Him only! And the Lord Jesus is the only way. The salt has lost it's saltiness and the light has grown so dark. | | |
| It really hurts. I had an old wound that I thought was completely healed. The only sign was a barely perceptible scar that only served to remind me how much better it had gotten. I had even stopped protecting it, letting it out in the open...getting to be comfortable with it. Now I wonder, was it really ever healed at all? Just when I least expected it, someone near and dear to me tore it wide open with a few choice words. Not only did it hurt then, it still hurts now, days later, just as much if not more than before. I worry that it has become infected with poison. And not only that, but that somehow it has become contagious or harmful to others close to me. I have tried to "let it roll", like my husband recommended. I have tried to forgive and forget, but it keeps replaying. And how can I forgive someone for something they had no idea they did. If I confront this person, it would hurt them to know how much they hurt me. I know this is a matter of pride, as well as a matter of not being able to control anyone else's thoughts. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions and value systems. If mine isn't the same as yours, that should be okay. But will it heal again? Or will it slowly eat away at me? Do I cause others pain, without knowing, by thoughtless words? Of course I do...and I have caused my Savior pain in the same manner. It is by Him that I will heal again, and through Him that I will forgive. | | |
| It has been a long time since I have posted anything at all. Yes, I am still alive and well. I have thought about getting back in touch with blogging but real life seems to take priority. I will not be long winded here. Ijust have an observation to make and an expectation of what is to come. The "stimulus" aka spending bill contains plans to exclude any schools or construction projects from any federal funding if they allow any sort of religious activity, prayer, etc. Not a big surprise...but not fair either, because this will even include clubs not necessarily sponsored by the organization. But this is intended to bully the people of faith into silence or worse yet, submission. So church, here's the way it is. God is so powerful that He can separate church and state too. He has done it before and I believe that He will do it again. In Egypt, God separated the plagues from the Israelites, and they ended up affecting only the Egyptians! We should be excited to see this happening again. The state that wants nothing to do with God will have curses befalling them while the faithful who worship and honor God will be devinely protected and blessed. People, the fact of the matter is, we are going to see more and more persecution as the end draws nearer. So I hope that the Christians will be bold in their obedience to God. Let the US have their way. Christian schools don't need their money since God owns the cattle on a thousand hills! The money that means so much to so many is nothing compared to the blessings that come from a loving heavenly father. The more the government works against Him the more we need to praise and glorify Him. Whether the plan goes forward with this wording or not remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, and that is that God is real no matter what the world thinks, says or does, and He will have the final Word! | | |
