Good morning and happy Thursday. TBT; throw back Thursday. Remembering a day or event "back in the day". It's good and fun, and sometimes funny, to look back at those times in our lives. It's those times, and a lot of others, that have shaped us into who we are today. God is the sculptor, we are the clay. A dumb lump of clay with no idea of what's ahead. God's already there though. So as we make decisions in our lives apart from Him we get some rough edges. When we look back and see where we were with Him and without Him, by our choice, it's easy to see the difference. I'm not saying it was all bad or all great but there is a difference. God is just as alive and active in our lives today as He has been in any time in history. Nothing has changed except us. Our choices to not follow Him. I've wasted a lot of life not doing so. I've seen and done things I wished now I hadn't. And if I was following His will and not my own I wouldn't have. Oh, but it's made me who I am today. Well yes, but we also don't know when Jesus is coming back to take us Home. So with that, we need to be sure we're found in His will and not our own when it's time. It could be before you finish reading this. Do all you can to follow along His path for you. That way when it's TBT later, it's a really bright and hopeful look back. In love always. <><

Good morning and happy Tuesday. So what kind of dog are you? What generation are you? What kind of element are you? What state are you from? Any one on Facebook has seen these and probably most of us have taken the quiz to see. I know it's in fun, but is there another reason too? A deeper one? One of wanting to know who, what, when, and where about ourselves. If you're one of those ahead of the game and know exactly all there is to know about yourself and have been honest in finding out, well this may seem silly to you. But it's a real issue for a lot of people. You feel something deep inside and know it's there but haven't got clue what it is. It feels good but scary because it's not a normal feeling. Some have tried all sorts of things to cover it and to fill the spot with something they know and can see or physically feel. Drugs, sex, work, play even, all kinds of things have been put there to make it go away. It becomes nagging the more you try to cover it. It explains to me some,why so many can fall so far away from life. So here's the next set of quizzes. Who's child are you? Who do you belong to? Who do you serve? Answer these correctly and you'll know what that feeling inside is and most important, who it is. The answer you already know but just need to be sure. He will not let you go and you'll never be alone. My favorite verse is Joshua 1:9. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
The answer to all the questions is God. In love always. <><

Good morning and happy Monday. The hiatus is over and I hope to be back to regular broadcasts. So I was playing some solitaire on my phone the other day and I was really needing just one card to turn over so I could play out the hand. If only that one card would turn up. The game was looking pretty bad. I wasn't gonna make it. Then when I least expected it, bam, the card I needed. I played down as far as I could but still lost out because being the true solitaire player I am, I only go through the deck once. This sounds a lot like life. I turned forty seven on this time away. Life for me really is more than half over. What card am I looking for to win this game? What determines winning or losing at life? We all know the answer to that is not found in this world but in the eternal realm with God the father. Have you turned over that card yet? Are you waiting to play it? Do you know someone looking for it? It's time to move on towards the finish. The game has already been won. We just have to finish. You only get to go through this deck of cards once. Make sure you're doing it for Him. In love always. <><
