Three Holes

Good morning and happy Friday. The Native Americans where found dancing and giving thanks to different gods. They danced prayers for rain and a good harvest. They knew there was something more than just them. They had a stirring in their heart and they knew. So for them, or any other group never exposed to God, they get it. They see that's what they've been missing. There are three holes in the heart that can't be filled by anyone or thing but what is supposed to be there. A mom, dad, and God hole. And no matter what, those are the only things that fill them. Mom and dad are easy. We see that. It may not have been good but we know who they are mostly. Or at least the one who took the role. (Steve). But the God hole is the one we know is there but can't quite figure it out. We use all kinds of stuff to fill a spot that can only be filled by Him. Until He's in our hearts, life isn't as good as it could be. So don't wonder why there is rich people who don't know God. The devil is at work in this too. Just saying. Let God do what He needs to do in you and through you. In love always. <><

Appreciate the Gift

Good morning and happy Thursday. ( Friday eve ). Those of you with kids can relate to this pretty easy. You love them with all you have. You want only the best for them all the time. They let you down here or there with some little stuff, but not too bad, from time to time. Then one day you simply realize they've changed. The change is in one of two ways. For one they have come to expect things to be the way they always have been but not have to do anything different on their part. We call it ungrateful or spoiled. Some where they missed the message we were trying to give them or we didn't get it across well enough. The other is an appreciative person who realizes the things that's been done for them and the cost it has been to their parents. In both financial and emotional senses. Is this not how we the children of God have become also? The saddest part is the fact we realize what's been done and still act the way we do with everybody else. We have all been given a gift. And we still don't wanna share and keep it to ourselves. We have to start living in a way that shows Gods glory and how much we appreciate what it is He has done for us. In love always. <><

The Word is Alive

Good morning and happy Wednesday. So the Apostles drop everything and follow a man they don't even know? People must have thought them crazy. They would today. Waco stir a memory or the ones waiting on a spacecraft to pick em up. So I hear people say how easy it would be to follow Him in those days. To see the miracles done and all that would be undeniable. To hear Him speak and everything of being with Him would be so much easier. Yet many did not follow and many more wanted Him dead and still others killed Him. But the Word became flesh takes on real meaning. The Word is as alive today as it was then. He is doing miracles in lives everyday. The things we say would make it easier are still going on now. The Bible doesn't have a last page that says "The End". It says amen. We win. Game over. If you have followed my instructions I will see you soon. That's how it ends. It never does. He died, rose again, went to Heaven now it's done. Really? That's not the God I read about in the Bible. It's not done and He needs us to do what He asked them to do. Follow Him and tell of the good news. In love always. <><

Put Down Your Nets

Good morning and happy Tuesday. What if someone came by your job and asked you to quit and come work for him now? You'll have to leave your family and the pay isn't any better. Would you go work for him? Probably not. But this happened a long time ago and people are still talking about it. I can't imagine what kind of presence they felt when Jesus was asking them to come follow Him and do His fathers work. To just simply stop working and leave. They asked later to go back and see family. What must being in His presence be like? They didn't know Him or who He was, but they knew something was right in what they were doing. See that feeling they had that day is one that we get today. We have those moments of Him asking us that very same thing. And it doesn't stop as it didn't for them. Tell your story of the things you see God do in your life. As advanced as we have become, the human feeling for God is the same still today. We know something is missing and a hole needs filling and it's God that fills it. Nothing else. That's how they knew it was right to follow. They had faith in who He was and made a decision that changed their lives. He's calling us all to follow Him. Put down your nets and go. In love always <><

It Might Not Be Today

Good morning and happy Monday. There's talk on the news of the second coming. A billboard giving us the last day of the earth and humanity. The only thing they have right is that fact about being ready. I can look back and thank God for the breath I have the next morning after a night before I'm glad wasn't my last. But how bad is bad? Where is the line? A good God fearing word spreading Christian has a bad moment of being cut off in traffic that causing a cuss fest then crashes his car and dies, is that bad enough. I don't know, and really neither does anyone else. God is the only one that does and that is where our heart needs to be. And when it goes astray, get it back there as fast as possible and carry on with the work at hand. Some spend too much time concerned with the end of time and forget about taking care of the present. Today is the day the Lord has made, I'm gonna work on this one today and worry about tomorrow never again. It's not even promised to me. In love always. <><
