Good morning and happy Friday.  I love to hit the snooze in the morning sometimes. I mean I really like to put off the inevitable. ( sarcasm ). Then I wake up and realize I'm running late and things are going to be a mess. How many people do you know that are hitting the snooze of the alarm calling them to a relationship with Jesus.? Thy just keep putting it off because the "sleep" feels so good. But what happens when they finally wake up and realize the mess they're in? I don't wanna know that I could've helped and didn't. If you've been following along this week you've seen a pattern in God's messages. He has stressed this more this week to me than ever before. Remember this is His words and not my own. Don't leave friends and family or yourself asleep when you can wake them. I don't always stand in His light, but when I do, I love it and can't believe I ever get out if it. That's the power this world and Satan can have on us. Wake up,  WAKE UP. Don't fall asleep on this one. Don't keep hitting the snooze. It's time to be about the Fathers business. In love always. <>< 

Good morning and happy Thursday. As we talked about yesterday and last night at class, how do we bring The Book of Revelation to us today? How does it impact us? The angel unlocked the abyss and a swarm like locusts invaded the earth. They were like horses for battle with faces like humans and breastplates of armor and long beautiful hair and teeth like a lion and a tail like a scorpion sent to torment but not kill the unsaved for 5 months. So have you seen that walking around today?  It's graphic and a little scary. It's hard to explain, but bottom line is its demons and they are doing the work for Satan as God has allowed them. So as this happens, those who have come to God in this tribulation time are safe and are seeing this take place. So who do you see today that is being tormented by their own demons? Who do you see today that is struggling with life on a daily basis. It's very relevant to today. You have turned to God and are safe. If your life is in His, death is welcome so there is no fear. But if not, the torment of this world is only worse for eternity. Who's going with you? What seeds are you planting among the fields you walk through everyday. There is rich fertile soil that's lost and needs to hear the words you have been given. Today is someone's tribulation time. Show them the Way and all in Heaven will rejoice at their salvation. Be Jesus today. In love always. <>< 

Good morning and happy Wednesday. We've been studying the Book of Revelation on Wednesday nights and we've gotten to chapter 9. Man, if I was to just start there I would have a hard time believing God loves us. John paints a very vivid picture of events that are still to come and we will be a part of. It's an ugly picture of the end but it's also a beautiful one if you can see how God is doing battle for us to push those who have resisted Him to turn to Him now. This is the last chance they will have. It's so bad at this time that they beg to die and can't. That's an ugly feeling I imagine. To want to die and have that same torment forever than to turn to Him and hail Him as King. Why would we wait? It's real and it's coming. The end is coming and we will be before His throne. Don't wait and if you're already there then get more to come with you. We have  work to do and I don't want anyone going through the tribulation times because I didn't share the Good News with them. Be Jesus to the world around you. In love always. <><

Good morning and happy Tuesday. Why have we complicated life so much? God gave the Israelites 10 rules and they turned em into thousands because it made them feel more special when they done more righteous stuff. God didn't change a thing when Jesus was on the scene and getting the word out to the gentile nations. His rules stayed the same and Jesus showed us the simplicity of following God's word. It really is simple, love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, and all your soul, love each other the way you love yourself. So what's gotten in the way? We've forgotten the root of the original ten. The bar is set high and for a reason. We need Him to reach it. We cannot do it on our own. But our society has become about ourselves through the years and slowly moving away from the simpleness of what God has for us. He didn't want it to be hard, but He also didn't want it to be just a given. We have to commit ourselves to Him and not this world. Jesus was love in the flesh. Action you could see and today read of. Is your love hidden and reserved for the things you want to give it to? Or does God lead you to give it and you choose to keep it?  There is the dilemma of todays chaos. We don't love each other the way we should. Know this for sure; if you're reading this from a text from me this morning, I love you. I really do. You mean something to me. And if you're reading this from the Internet page, the same goes for you. No one is different and no one is above another. When we fall in love with God, all this becomes simple. The world will make it hard, but faith in the promise God has made will overcome the world. Wait, He's already done that. So move on to the next place in the journey before you. Loving God and others the whole way. In love always. <>< 

Good morning and happy Monday. I had an interesting question asked, of a group I was in, about reflection. Rewording it a bit to fit more than just that group, I will ask you. Looking back, what in your life have you fought with or struggled with that you have put down and now have picked back up?  Why is it that we find peace in God and in living in His will as best we can, and we can't stay there? Do we feel lost without some sort of control over our lives? If so, then we never really died to ourselves and surrendered to God?  This is a slippery slope, but given how we all fail, it's about how to stay in the light of God the best we can. That is done with daily time, and for some of us, hourly time, with God. We have to get in His Word and read and study and begin to apply it. It does still apply and in case we forgot, there's a big part of it still to come. We can't put it off as history and not think it does not go along for us today. I think sometimes that may be why we disregard it. I don't know. Each of us has to find the way that keeps us close to Him. I think about Jesus'  apostles and how they we're with Him and knew Him but never really got what was going on until the Holy Spirit filled them. Then they lived and died for the Name of Jesus Christ. It's no different today. We know Him, and if not really staying in the Word, miss what He's doing until we give in to the Holy Spirit that is given to us by God Himself. Trust Him and live for Him. Stay near Him and His church will grow by Him through you. In love always. <><
