Good morning and happy Tuesday. Just like everyone else in this country as we woke this morning to all the terrible news of the devastation in Oklahoma, my heart is heavy, for a few reasons. Many people are going to ask where is God in all this? How could God let this happen? Others will use this to condemn our society, by taking God out of everything this is what we get. Others will point to the end times and try and create panic among non and young Christians. Still others will simply point out there is no God. My heart is heavy for the obvious reasons; death of people and loss of homes and communities. But it's also weighing on me about how quickly death can come and in this case so wide spread that many may not have been ready to meet the Father. We are after all a lost people and this has become a lost nation. More and more people are living here not knowing or believing in God the Father. That should bother all of us. It's not too late to turn this around though. Those of you who know me and especially those who know my past can see change in direction is possible. But how did it happen? What took place and what is my role in it?  Well it didn't happen over night and it was just a few people who spoke God's word to me. They allowed themselves to be used by Him to reach me in a place some might not have gone. Oh it wasn't that bad where I was. For some it may have looked pretty good. Hell will be filled with a lot of "good" people. Every time we have a major event like this in our country, many different views spring to life. Be prepared and become the voice of Truth about the Father who loves us all, no matter what. Help others find their way home to Him now, before anything else can happen to them. In love always. <>< 

Good morning and happy Monday. I'm in a conversation with my youngest daughter who is getting ready to graduate from high school in a few weeks. She said there's a lot of stuff going on at school and people acting up and causing her some issues. "This is not how I thought my senior year would end up", she said. Is life ever how we thought it would be? Are you where you thought you would be when you dreamed of your life as a kid or teen? Why do you suppose it's never how we think?  Well, maybe just maybe it's because we don't know what's best for us or what we need to be doing for others. It's the second part that usually throws us off. God has plans for us, for and with other people. Our society today has become so self reliant and self sufficient, we have forgotten about other people in the world until they bother us. In the Old Testament days the people relied on each other for all kinds of things. They were communal people. The reason it took a community to raise a child is because the community did raise the children, together. We're losing touch with each other and all of our technology today is making it easier to isolate ourselves from each other. God wants us to be in community with each other today and with Him. It makes us a better and stronger person because when we are together we tend not be able to hide our garbage and so satan loses his tools against us. When we are alone we are vulnerable to our secrets. These are the tools of the devil. Don't try and make life what you think it should be. Instead be pliable to God's will and ready to be placed in the path of others so that we can build community, together. In love always <><
