HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Good morning!!! A beautiful day it is in the Lord!!! The only thing that would make this day more beautiful would be the returning of the Lord Jesus Christ!!!! You looked and probably said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY??" It's not my birthday. Oh, but maybe it is.
2 Corinthians 5:17 "IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW."
How many times have you looked in the mirror and wished you looked different? A tummy tuck, wrinkles removed, blemishes taken away, the physique of the marlboro man or a super model.....yep, that would solve it!
No, actually it won't. If we are in Christ, we are a new creation. What you talkin about Willis??? Well, once we are in Christ, we are new from the INSIDE OUT! Our attitude toward ourself, others will all change. We may spend lots of time and money working on our physical appearance, buy really nice new, fancy clothes, fancy jewelry, tanned bodies, but what does this do? It simply covers up our aging body.
When we are renewed by Christ, a new creation, all things have become new. The caring, loving, and passion of Christ will come forth. It comes forth as we are ready, as we mature as a New Creation in Christ. God looks at our heart, not our hairline; judge others on their heart..not on their outward appearance; spend your time and money on areas of GOD,(the inner man) not areas of flesh; accept, freely, what God gives us freely! Let the old things pass away and let all thing become new.
Jimmy Carter, "The first time we're born, as children, human life is give to us; and when we accept Jesus as our Savior, it's a new life. that's what "born again" means."
Thank you for reading. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! We have a rebirth in Christ, but we can renew our covenant to the Lord daily. Lord, here I am, a broken vessel repaired only by you. Take me and make me the vessel you can use today. Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace

Are you in a Tornado??

Good morning everyone!!! What a great day to be alive in the Lord Jesus Christ!!! WOWEEEEE!!!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good! I cannot sing enough praises to God. Life is like a tornado!!! Have you ever thought about that?? We tread along going through this trial, that trial, battling off debris, and are so busy fighting for our life we forget our goal. What is the goal?? We need to be in the 'eye' of the storm!! Why? Because in the eye of the tornado it is calm, peaceful. The problem lies going into and out of the eye when we hit the turmoil.
Where do we sit in our life with God? Psalm 50:3 "Our God approaches and he is not silent. Fire devours everything in his way, and a great storm rages around him." This is referring to God's final judgment.
Psalm 55:8 "How quickly I would escape-far from this wild storm of hatred." Even those who are especially close to God, like David, have moments when they want to escape from their problems and pressures.
Psalm 197:29 "He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves." God can do it all. He can keep us in the calm. He will protect us and care for us.
Luke 8:24-25 "The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, 'Master, Master, we're going to drown!'' When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. The storm stopped and all was calm! (25) Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?.....""
So, I ask you, where are you living? At the edge, where the storm is? Or are you in the eye of the storm. Yes, moving into the eye we will fight the rage of the storm, coming out of the eye we will fight the rages of the storm. Even while in the eye we will stray close to the storm. However, each time we touch the rages of the storm and flee back to the eye we are reminded of the reassurance and safety of our Lord Jesus Christ.
My life has been in a tornado. Too many years were spent at the edge fighting off high winds, flying trees, flying automobiles, flying houses. When Jesus came into my life, uh, no.....when I asked Jesus to come into my life.....Life is good!!! We have to remember though, to always give credit to our Lord. Moses struck the rock and said here I give you water. He was angry and frustrated at the children of Israel, but because he took credit he did not get to go into the promised land.
God has given me ALL I HAVE!! Praise God for He is Good...Great....Wonderful....Fabulous!!!! God has put me exactly where he wants me and my job is to be obedient and give HIM the praise and glory. Thank you Father God!! Thank you for reading. Love you all.

Do you DELIGHT in the LORD???

Good morning to all!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. God is like Tony the Tiger....Heeeeeee's GGGGRRRREEEEEAAAAATTTTTT!!! Just look at God's word and find comfort.
How have you been acting? This we call behavior!! Psalm 37:3-7
"Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. 4 Talke delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desires. 5 Committ everything you do to the LORD, Trust him, and he will help you. 6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. 7 Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes."
David tells us to delight in the Lord and to commit everything we have and do to him. DO YOU???? I honestly can answer no, however I plan to do better.
How do we delight in the Lord? To delight means to experience great pleasure and joy in ones presence. This only happens when we know that person well. Soooooo, to delight in the Lord we must know him better. Knowledge of God's great love for us will indeed give us delight.
To commit ourselves to the Lord means giving everything---our lives, families, jobs, possessions---give them to God. Let God have control and guidance. Trusting in the Lord, believing He can care for us better than we can care for ourselves. Duh??? Who made heaven? Who made earth? Who made man? Don't you think God can care for us??? A resounding YES HE CAN!!!!
What do you think? Feedback please. Love you all, thanks for reading.

How are you behaving???? Correctly????

Good morning everyone!!! Yes, tis a wonderful day to be alive in the Lord Jesus Christ. Some storms went through this part of Texas last night, 6 dead, and we need to pray for all who are affected.
Now I am not going to read all this to you, but if you will read Romans 12:1-16:27 Paul tells you how to behave. How do we behave?? Do we anger quickly? Do we yell to make our point? The silent treatment? Do we do the right thing?? Treat our co-workers well??? Or not so well?? Just how do you behave....and is it Godly behavior?????
Romans 12:1 "And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice-the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
Romans 12:2 "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."
vs 1 - God want us to offer ourselves as living sacrifices---daily.... laying aside our own desires to follow him, putting all our energy and resourse at his disposal and trusting him to guide us. WHY? We do this out of gratitude that our sins have been forgiven.
vs 2 Paul warns us not to copy the behavior and customs of the world. WHY? They are usually selfish and many times corrupting. Our choice to refuse to conform to the world is deeper than behavior and customs...we must have this firmly planted in our mind.
When the Holy Spirit renews, reeducates, and redirects our mind we are truly transformed. Romans 8:5
God has good, pleasing, and perfect plans for his children.
He wants us to be transformed people with renewed minds.
He wants us to live to honor and obey Him.
He wants only what is best for us, He gave His Son to make our new life.
We should joyfully give ourselves as living scrifices for his service.
Thank you for reading. How is YOUR behavior?
Love you all!!

Are you....uh..No YOU ARE a missionary!!!!

Good morning everyone!! I trust you had a blessed and wonderful weekend. God is good all the time, all the time God is good!! When things go wrong, look up!! GOD IS THERE!!!
A sign leaving a church says, "you are entering your mission field." I would take this one step further. We need to be in our mission field 24/7!!! At home, at church, at work, in the car, on the street, everywhere! You do not know when, nor do you know what you may say or do that will turn someone to or away from Christ!!!
If we are bashful Christians what kind of testimony are we showing?? To not speak up for Christ is to speak against Christ. When you have a chance to share, AND, you feel moved by the Spirit.....DO IT!! SPEAK, BE HEARD, BE KNOWN!!! Christ wants us to.."make disciples of all the nations."
Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Mark 16:15 "Then HE said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation."
Matthew 10:27 "What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light. What you hear in a whisper, proclaim on the housetops."
We are commanded to share the Good News with our families, with our neighbors, with the whole world. To not speak up is to go against Christ. Peter denied Christ 3 times.....have you?? Today is the day....tomorrow may be too late. Thank you for reading. Love you all.

How is your faith in God??? Are you thankful??

Good morning everyone!!! What a great day to be alive in the Lord Jesus Christ!! God is good all the time and all the time God is good!!! Luke 17:11-19 This is where Jesus heals ten men with leprosy. Now these men were crying out to Jesus to have mercy on them. Jesus looked at them and said, "Go show yourselves to the preiest." As they went they were cleansed of leprosy.
Now why did this happen??? Jesus can, could, and did heal. But why go to the priests? Lepers were required to stay away from the people since the disease was contagious, but if they were ever cured, they had to go to the priest and the priest would declare him clean (Leviticus 14).
Now, these ten men had the faith that Jesus could heal, off they went, going to the priest to be declared clean.....except 1----only 1 man realized that his faith played a role in his healing and came back to be thankful. The same lesson is here today, only grateful Christians grow in understanding God's grace. God does not demand that we thank him, but he is pleased when we do so. And, in our response to Him, He teaches us more about Him. The man that came back was a Samaritan-a race despised by the Jews and Luke is showing us that God's grace is for everybody.
Right now, where is your faith? Are you thankful for what you have? God gave me this new job I am in and I can't praise His name enough!! How about you?? Love you all....thank you for reading.

Rescued????

Good morning everyone!!! What a great day to be alive in the LORD!!! God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. Where would you be today without God??
Sometmes we may feel like we are in quicksand. The more we try to get out of it, the deeper we sink. What do we do?? Well, don't panick-calm down, breath, relax and ask for help.
But who will hear?? God can help you get out of your mess. God can rescue you from ANY mess you put or find yourself in. But what do we have to do?? STOP, quit fighting, call on God, give it ALL to Him, relax, and He will take care of the situation.
Psalm 40:2 "He drew me up out of a horrible pit...and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings."
Psalm 40:3 "He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord."
So, who are you going to trust?? GOD??? Or listen to satan telling you that you can do it all by yourself.....since you are a self made man or woman??? STOP, DROP, & PRAY!! Let God have it. Thanks for reading. Love you all.

How do you ride the river????

Good morning everyone!! I hope this is a wonderful day for each of you!! God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. Today I was reading in a book given to me 'Checklist for Life' that really touched me and I would like to share.
Our world is a world of change. Jobs, relationships, health are unpredictable....then look at the future--completely unknown. Sometimes change is our choice....sometimes not. How we respond to change is always your choice.
If you are riding a boat down a river you notice the river changes...many times. It is wide, narrow; rapids, calm; deep, shallow; and the only constant is that the water does flow downstream. With a river resistance is of no avail, we cannot change the course of the river. Our success depends on our ability to ride it out, responding quickly and decisively to its twists and turns, ups and downs.
You need the right type of equipment, right type of boat, oars, life preserver, and plan on getting wet. The river is like life....it cuts its own unique path and carries you along for the ride. Remember this:
1. resistance to the changes in your life is futile; ask God to help you ride out the twists and turns and respond appropriately;
2. Don't start down the river of life in the wrong boat, ride securely in a daily relationship with God--it's designed for the white water of life;
3. Steering your boat you need oars---your oars are prayer and the Bible; life preserve is salvation....receiving God's forgiveness.
4. Change is constant and life is messy and you will get wet. Prepare for it by living a life of integrity.
5. Change is inevitable. Don't get sucked under by the current--ride smart!!!
Isaiah 40:3 "Prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth.
Thank you for reading today....I hope and pray this touched you as it did me. Love you all

Blessed Assurance

Good morning everyone!!! I trust this was a wonderful weekend for each and every one of you!!! My weekend was fabulous and life changing. You know, we all like to know, or be reassured that we are worth it. Whether it be by a spouse, a friend, family member, or what, to be reassured does make us feel good.
Many times we worry about the future, fret about the past, and what good does this worry really do?? We need to remember, we are forgiven of the past-so forgive yourself; and the future eventually holds eternity with the most glorious of all-a home in heaven.
Isaiah 54:10 "Though the mountains move and the hills shake, my love will not be removed from you and my covenant of peace will not be shaken."
Hebrews 12:28 "Let us be thankful, then, because we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Let us be grateful and worship God in a way that will please him, with reverence and awe."
god's kindness to us is that he patiently removes all the things that cause us to fear. The only thing left is our love for HIM. We need to thank God for taking us under His protective right hand, and giving us the assurance of an eternal future with Him.
In Christ's Love and Grace

TRUST- ya gotta have it

Good morning everyone!! I trust this will be a great day in the Lord for you. I was lazy today, laid in bed till 7 listening to gospel singing, old gospel singing. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good!
Geroge MacDonald said, "It is a greater compliment to be trusted than to be loved."
Take time and think about this.
Luke 16:11 "And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?"
In the Greek dictionary of the New Testament,trust,pisteuo (pist-yoo'-o) comes from to have faith in (pistis)
Pisteuo (trust) means not just to believe, but also to be persuaded of; and to place confidence in, to trust, and signifies, in this sense of the word, reliance upon, not mere credence, hence it is translated "commit unto", commit to one's trust, be committed unto.
Where is your PISTEUO???? Is it all in Christ Jesus???? Are you someone I can REALLY TRUST??? Would you ENTRUST yourself with special information???
God made us promises, WE have to TRUST HIM, accept those promises and enjoy life everafter. Thank you for reading. Love you all!!! If I can TRUST you will a secret, write me back and I'll tell you something that only I know.

Got heart problems???? Are you a TRUE JEW?!?!

Good morning everyone!!!! Yes, yes, yes Lord!!! Let it be me Lord!!! Is this part of your vocabulary??? Do you want to be pleasing to God??? Where do your want and desires lie??? In the world????? New house, new boat, new car, new....new.....new.....Just so we look good???
Do you want to be a TRUE JEW???? I do!!! WHAT????? But you profess to be a Christian, now you want to be a Jew??!!?? What is wrong with you??
Okay, can we talk??? Huh?? Can we talk??? Romans 2:29 "......a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God......."
Here, to be a Jew meant you were in God's family, we get to be an heir to all HIS promises. God's family is based on our internal qualities...NOT what we have. All whose hearts are right with God are true Jews-part of God's family. Galatians 3:7 "The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God."
Attending church, being baptized, being a member of a church is not enough.... it is not what this is all about!!!
God wants our heartfelt devotion and obedience!!! (Jeremiah 4:4) SO, where is your heart???? Do you have heart problems??? If so, now is the time, you cannot do it any sooner.....turn everything.....truely everything over to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Let's all be TRUE JEWS and have a heart felt faith in God. Thank you for reading. May you have a truely blessed and prosperous day. Love you all.

Are you GREATFUL? Or, are you GRATEFUL??

Good morning everyone!! I trust and pray this will be a great day in the Lord Jesus Christ for you!!!! God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.

What do you mean greatful.....or.....grateful??

Many times we are greatful........

Look at what I did......See how good I am......Did you know I......

We become GREAT in our eyes.

We become LEGENDS in our own minds.

We begin with "I", because we are "great"

Let us begin with Thank you God....or....Thank you Jesus

Thank you Jesus for giving me the ability to............

Now we are being GRATEFUL, for without Jesus Christ, we are nothing!

We have nothing!

The biggest single item we should be grateful for is God's gift-JESUS!

And JESUS is the greatest gift we can ever be given.

2 Corinthians 9:15 "thanks be to God for His indescribable gift."

Colossians 3:15 "And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful."

Colossians 2:6-7 "Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."

Life is busy and complicated, Stop, Drop, & Pray. Don't lose sight of God and what He did for us. Be GRATEFUL!!! Thanks for reading. Love you all.

Peace???? PEACE!!!!!

Are you at peace????

Is your mind at peace??

Is your spiritual mind at peace???

Are you happy with where you life is???

If you are not happy, then you have to ask yourself....WHY?????

GOD'S PLEASURE FOR US IS TO BE HAPPY!!!! Yes, there may be tough times BUT: "DON'T WORRY.......BE HAPPY!!!"

It is simple,

Read the Bible,

Go to:- - - ->New International Version (NIV) Job 22:21

21 "Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.

Have you submitted??? Are you in God's will??? Don't you want prosperity???? Take time now, S,D & P! (stop,drop,pray) Love you all!! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!

In Christ's Love and Grace,

Life, don't put it on fast forward

Good morning everyone!! I hope you had a super Easter weekend!! God is good all the time, and all the time God is good!! Jesus came, died, and rose again just for us!!! YEA!!! WOW!!!
I watched a movie "Click" with Adam Sandler, where he went to bed, bath, and beyond to get a universal remote. He went in a door marked 'beyond' and met Morty, who took him to a door marked 'way beyond' where he got a remote.
This remote would mute, freeze, and fast forward things in his life. This remote also could see the areas where he would fast forward and would automatically fast forward through any future similiar areas.
Adam Sandler is an architect with a bright future in a firm. His fast forwarding caused him to miss his kids growing up, lost his wife, all he had was fame and fortune. When he realized this he wanted to go back. Morty, the Angel of death was going to take him (death), but then allowed him to go back and have a second chance.
Jesus did this for all of us, allows us a second chance. That is why he came, died, and rose again for us. THANK YOU JESUS!!!
Jeremiah 29:11 "I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU," SAYS THE LORD. "THEY ARE PLANS FOR GOOD AND NOT FOR DISASTER, TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE."
May your day, and days to come not be on fast forward, enjoy each step you take and let the Lord be part of each step. Thank you for reading. Love you all. Pray for your self, then others. STOP, DROP, & PRAY!!

Would You Help me??........Please!!!!

Good morning every one!!! A GOOD FRIDAY day to you all!!! What a great time to be alive in Jesus!! Okay, GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!!!! STOP, DROP, and PRAY!!!
If I were drowning......would you throw me a life line???


If my house was on fire.....would you help me get out?????



If I was in an automobile accident.....would you tend my wounds????



If I fell.......would you help me up??????



If I was sinking in quicksand......would you pull me out?????



If I was going to HELL........would you TELL ME ABOUT JESUS??????



John 3:16 "For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
People are sinking into the depths of hell without Jesus, you may be the one to cast the Jesus life line......will you???? Thank you for reading today. Love you all and may your day be God blessed!!

Do you have enough????

Good morning everyone!! I hope this is an abundant day for each of you!! God is good all the time and all the time God is good!!
John 10:10 "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
Jesus here is not talking of life on earth, being rich or famous. He is talking about life after death, salvation, eternal life. Jesus' gift of abundance is spiritual and eternal; his gift is never taken back, his gift never wears out, his gift is eternal. We only have to open our hearts to HIM!! His resurrection, Easter, is so important to us Christians. We serve a living God. Have you ever seen any other God raise from the dead?
Deuteronomy 8:11"But this is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the Lord you God and disobey his commands...."We have to be sure we do not take credit for our prosperity and become proud that our own hard work and cleverness have made us rich. It is easy to get busy in "our own little world" and push God back to the back burner.
"My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23:5-6
Thank you for reading with me today. I just pray these are words the Lord wishes sent out and I am grateful for all the references available for me to us. Thank you Jesus for all you have given us. Love you all!!

What's in your wallet.....uh.....heart?

Good morning everyone!! May you be blessed beyond your wildest dreams. Share a smile, a kind word, a friendly look with someone today. Many things may anger us and for what??? Because that is not the way we think it should be done?? That guy piled his plate with finger foods, how rude! That gal is driving too fast and cut me off! That person..........etc.
Are we angry at sin???? Or just angry from our perception of what should be done right??? 1 Peter 2:23 "He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly." WHO?? JESUS!!
ISAIAH 53:7 "He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet ne never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth."
Here, the sinless servant of the Lord offers himself for our sins. He is the Lamb offered for the sins of all people. Jesus, the Messiah suffered for our sake, bearing our sins to make us acceptable to God. What can we say to such love?? Do you have God's pure love in your heart?? How are we responding to Him, Jesus, for what He did for us on the cross???
What's in your heart??? Jesus came, He saw, and in His death He conquered!!! How exciting this is for Christians at this time of year. Have you been resurrected through the blood of Jesus?? It's time, give it all to God. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.
Hey, thanks for reading, go to church tonight. Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and then Easter. What a wonderful time to praise God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit. Pray for yourself, then others. Love you all!!

Who do you seek??????

Good morning everyone!!! It is indeed GREAT to be ALIVE in JESUS!!! Jesus knows, HE can and will lead us. GOD is good all the time, and all the time GOD is good!!!
Proverbs 3:6 "SEEK HIS WILL IN ALL YOU DO, AND HE WILL SHOW YOU WHICH PATH TO TAKE."
Solomon is telling us that we MUST seek GOD'S WILL in all we do to receive HIS guidance. This means to turn EVERY AREA of our LIFE over to GOD. In Matthew 6:33 Jesus emphasizes this again. When we look at our lives and priorities we have to ask: What is important to me? How often do we acknowledge God? Do we really give all to God?
We may already acknowledge God in some areas of our lives. We pray before we eat, we fuss and cuss drivers; we study our Bible, then we walk in the ways of the world; we love Jesus, we keep it a secret; etc. We give credit and acknowledgement is some areas, but some places we restrict or ignore God. Is this what HE wants???
Let's all pray for our selves and then each other that we make God a vital part of everything we do. When we do this HE will guide you becuase you will be working to accomplish HIS purposes. My prayer is to keep me humble, working for the Lord, and to not take credit, but to give credit to God for all HE has given me.
Don't be as Moses, strike the rock with you staff and take credit for providing water. IT IS GOD WHO DOES ALL!!!! Thank you friends for reading, have a very blessed day in the Lord. Share a kind greeting, a smile, the love of God with someone today!! Love you all.

In Whom or What do you trust?

Good morning every one!!! I hope you are blessed this wonderful day in the Lord Jesus Christ. Things happen that we don't understand, and things happen that we do understand. Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." We should be leaning on God completely.
Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." We need to put ALL our trust in the LORD!! When we do...unbelievable things will happen. When Peter gave complete trust to the Lord, and his eyes were focused solely on JESUS, guess what..... HE WALKED ON WATER. T H E N , he began to trust in himself and what happened? Yes......he began to sink and who do you think he called out for help from.....Yes, JESUS!!!
No, this does not mean you can take a picture of Jesus and walk across a lake. This simply means we need to remain focused on Jesus in all our lives in every day in every way. Allow God to provide guidance for you life by reading His Word. Let God speak to us through the Word, and know that the Bible is a gift from God.
John Wesley said, "All the knowledge you want is comprised in one book, the BIble." Daniel Webster "The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of special revelation from God, but it is also a book which teaches man his own individual responsibility, his own dignity, and his equity with his fellow-man." In Whom or What do you trust? If it does not begin with "J" or "G" then it is time to re-evaluate our lives. All we have to do is keep Jesus/God number one in our life. Pray about this today, let God lead.
Thank you for reading today. Love you all. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. Pray for yourself first, cleanse yourself, then pray for others.
In Christ's Love and Grace
