Good morning and happy Friday. So after stirring all the pots last night about the upcoming election I've seen a pattern. People will stand by what they feel and think to the end. Right wrong or indifferent. That's scares me and relieves me. This is not a political forum at all and never want it to be. This is just me being shown things by a God who is always right. If we can all get on His side and stand as strong for Him as we feel about our parties of government, we might find the blessing of America again. Because, just like the Israelites coming out of Egypt, they were blessed and gonna be more blessed, but they turned away from God and He held back all His blessing. At points He was even going to destroy them. Why have become so arrogant in our self reliance that we can't see the absence of God in our countries activities. How can we expect blessing and continued prosperity when we are turning away from Him more and more because "look how good we're doing on our own"?  It's the same on the individual level and that's where it all begins anyway. That's where this mess turns around. So, you're in a good spot, how do you help others get there? That's up to you and God when you're on His side doing His work. Get the base right and the building will stand strong. By the way; we are the base. Lets unite in our efforts to put God first again; in our lives and in our homes and our country. In love always. <><

Good morning and happy Thursday. Have you been thanking God for all He's done for you?  If today is a great day and there are no problems or trials or anything, will you thank Him at the end of it tonight? It's easy to get caught up in the day to day and then put off God till the struggle comes. It happens all the time. While Moses was on the mountain with God, the very people that saw His mighty works to bring them out of Egypt, lost hope and made gods of their own. If it's that easy for people who were that close to God, how easy is it gonna be for us? Just sounds like excuses to me. The same as it did when Aaron tried to explain it to Moses. In our worst storms is where we find Him and thank Him and beg Him and plead with Him. Why can't we do this when things are good? Because He's not a part of our daily lives? Is He what we "do" on Sunday and a little Monday but lose interest through the week?  I don't know, each one of us is different, but our God is the same and wants our attention daily and more. He's done miraculous things in our lives, all of us have something, and we can't see all He's doing, but know that it's good for us. Be thankful all the time. Be in communication with Him all the time. Be in love with Him all the time. In love always. <><

Good morning and happy Wednesday. How much judgement do you think we pass on others everyday? Why do we do that? If I stood in front of some people and said I have this problem with-fill in the blank , and I need God's help and your support. Some would never speak to me again if it was a really bad thing. But praise God there would be a group of people or maybe just one, that would walk the whole walk with me. Why do we pass the judgement on someone? This is why people are hurt by churches they belong to or why some never grace a church door. In Romans we know we have all fallen short and are dead in our sins. What makes one sin different than another's. Oh I know, the other is confessed and in the light to be dealt with and put away, while ours is in the dark haunting us and keeping us from that full relationship with God. God created us for relationship. For help and support He knew we would need. There's tons of stuff out there about bullying kids, stop being mean period. Fear of our own demons that possess us is what drives our ability to sit back and say " well at least I'm not that bad". But that just made you worse if you're putting it on a scale, which there's not one, its all the same. Love people and carry them, hold them up, give support to them because one day they be the only one in the room when you need help. In love always. <><

Good morning and happy Tuesday. I read an article on the debate the other day that said Obama needs to "wear God". He did good by wearing his lapel pin flag but needs to mention God a little more often. Wear God? What? This is an educated political analyst and really trying to say something positive and constructive to help the president. Just by mentioning Him she feels that's wearing God, as if you can own Him and control how He fits into your routine. In one statement I can't help but feel this lady has summed up the nations take on God, or at least the vocals ones. The One who breathed this universe into existence is not something to be owned so it can be worn or used for gain. Where has our churches gone? Where is the Christian people who built this land and gave of themselves to help others in times of struggle? What's happened is we've gone soft and taken Him for granted. We've reaped those benefits of the power of God in our forefathers lives for so long we've forgotten what it is like to find ourselves with only God left. When we can strip away this world and its evil ways we can then become what God wants us to be and then through us others see God in action and not being "worn". Stop wearing the world and start living God. In love always. <><

Good morning and happy Monday. Are you seeing your life as an opportunity or something to be gotten through? I've heard on more than one occasion some youth folk talk about life and it saddens me. It lets me know satan is winning and we're failing our kids. I didn't go to church in my teens. I didn't hear the lessons from the pulpit but I did, shocker here mom and dad, listen to my parents. I stayed out of trouble for the most part and looked forward to a life down the road. Then you meet Jesus one day and you can't believe you've lived without him. I think it's my generation who forgot to find Him and teach their kids about Him because according to most Facebook accounts, we've all found Him. How good then are we doing at spreading the message and taking care of the orphans, elderly, and the poor? The first church with the twelve apostles grew on these basic instructions and commands from Jesus himself. They are still in place today and nothing has faded or changed except the players of the game. We know it will get worse before that glorious day, but it doesn't mean it has to be worse for our kids who are in our care till then. It doesn't have to be worse for the loved ones around us. The world will crumble and be rolled up like a scroll one day, but you and those you have influence over and with can be on the better side of it all. We have to make this happen, and when it does it will spread. It only takes a tiny spark to start a massive wild fire. Be a spark in the lives around you today and everyday, even if its just one. In love always. <><
