Good morning and happy Thursday. Can God bless America? Should God bless America? All the politicians say it as their mantra. " God bless America ". God destroyed cities for their wicked ways and not following His ways and turning their backs on Him. What is this country doing? He's being taken out of everything. We're trying to get Him off our money. He's already out of the schools and the halls of justice. Our founding fathers came here to be able to worship Him in peace without a government trying to run them through the church. So don't believe the rhetoric of the idea that those guys back them didn't build this nation with God at the head of it. So if God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because there were no righteous people in them, the only reason I can see us still being here is the righteous that are left. How long then till He's had enough and even the righteous will perish? We have to begin our stand to take this country back to where it was, at least with respect to God in our everything. It's only gotten steadily worse as we "progress" forward. We're not that great any more. We were great not because of what we did, but because we loved God and He blessed this nation just as He promises. This place is now full of itself and everything is me me me, I I I, look at what we did, see how great we are. We will reap what we've sewn and of late it hasn't been that good. For those who are following God and loving that Jesus saved them, look at their lives compared to the country as a whole. They have peace and are much happier. It's time for the Christian tide to roll. If God offends you, it's probably because you're not doing what you're supposed to. Lets bring back the blessing of God to our nation. Speak louder and make yourself be heard. It has to change, and soon. In love always. <>< 

Good morning and happy Wednesday. Sad news yesterday about a girl here killed when her car was hit by a train. People began posting prayers for the family and stuff and then there were some that made some assumed comments about what they thought. I got to thinking about those people. Assuming they know something but really don't. How do they get this? How do they think they're right about something they have no idea about? Is it from some past experience or just figuring that's what it always is in these cases so it must be what caused this one too? How many people are hurt by Christians in the world and so they figure all Christians must be like that? How many Christians assume they know God and His ways? Spew out a bunch of stuff that really makes Christians look bad. Westboro Baptist comes to mind. More on them later this week. How about you, what are you assuming about God and His plans? Who do you make assumptions about that you really don't know much about?  Are we judging without thinking we are? Of course we are. We do it all the time. It's hard not to.  So how do we fix it? We have to build our relationship with God the Father through His son Jesus. The only way to function at optimum performance is to be so like Jesus. The only way to be like Him is to be with Him. Proof is the apostles. Uneducated fishermen and tax collectors and we read their writings today. What changed them from assuming men of the world into loving men of God; an interlude of time with Jesus and they were changed forever. How much time will we take to change that way and make an eternal impact on others? Choose now and stop wasting time. Go out and love on those you may have made an assuming thought about that has kept you away. Those are the people real stories come from most of the time, I assume. In love always. <>< 

Good morning and happy Monday. So when you're waiting for something to happen and them it does, what do you after?  Feels like there's nothing else going on and just back to what you were doing. Makes me think of all those people following Jesus and thinking something big was gonna happen. Some great kingdom set up here for them to have power and reign over their oppressors. I wonder how let down they felt when they saw Him nailed to a cross and dead not knowing what had just been done. So then I wonder about those following Him that we're sort of getting it but not fully and how they felt waiting on the resurrection. Back to their lives they went. Let down and feeling worse than ever not having a clue of the huge impact of all that has been done. They could not see the big picture because they were focused on the single pixel of their lives. We do that a lot still today and we've read the book that tells us the big picture and what it looks like. Why aren't we living like we know it? Why aren't we living like the family of royalty we are? We heirs to a Kingdom no one can imagine and we don't act like it. Do we not because we can't see it or have seen Him? I don't know, but its worth eternity to me to start seeing a little better of how great our God is and know all that has been done for me, for all of us. I live in anticipation of the next big thing coming my way. With the blessing of God all over it. It's never just done. It always continues on. We have to live for that next moment He has for us. Just because its not what you wanted doesn't mean it's not the best thing to happen to you. In love always. <><
