What's in your heart?

Good morning all! Yes, another wonderful day in the LORD Jesus Christ! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!!! You know,many times we become weary, tired, frustrated and maybe a little depressed. Why? Because we allow the things of the world to creep in and take the "joy of the LORD" from us.

God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit do not abandon us, we stray and go different directions. Why? Many things the amour of the world. When we give our heart completely to the LORD, receive His strength, we will have all the power we need and we will see God's faithfulness.

2 Chronicles 16:9 "THE EYES OF THE LORD RANGE THROUGHOUT THE EARTH TO SHOW HIMSELF STRONG FOR THOSE WHOSE HEARTS ARE COMPLETELY HIS."

We need to take time and just pray, Heavenly Father, you know my weaknesses, please show yourself strong on my behalf. I praise you for teaching me to trust in your strength. Amen. When you take time to STOP, DROP, & PRAY ask God to put in your heart His love. Thanks for reading today. Love you all.

Jesus wants us to follow him!!!

Good morning everyone!! Good morning God!! What a great day to begin in Jesus!!!!!! Let's continue to visit about Jesus wanting us to follow him.

"...One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14) Let's continue with J. David Hoke's thoughts.

Jesus calls us to follow Him. The Christian life is a commitment to do something as well as be something. The Christian life has been likened to a walk, a race, a fight. Those are all action terms.

When Jesus calls us, He calls us not simply to believe in Him intellectually, but to follow Him in the living of our lives. But it’s possible for a person to believe in Jesus intellectually like he believes in Napoleon or George Washington.

You can hold an intellectual belief without making a life commitment to it. But that is not biblical faith. Faith in Jesus means we put our trust in Him. We trust Him with our lives. As we commit ourselves to live for Him daily.

Paul said he was reaching forward to what lies ahead. The picture we have here is someone stretching forward, like a runner in a race, seeking to win, not merely to finish. But if we would win over the past, we must also be willing to aggressively stretch forward.

Let Jesus set you free!!!

Good morning all!! Yes, another wonderful day in the Lord Jesus Christ!!
God is good all the time......all the time God is good!! May your day be
centered around Jesus. Yesterday we talked about being a prisoner to our
past. Today, how do we become free.

"...One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to
what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward
call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14)

When Paul is talking about forgetting every negative event in our life,
he is not talking about erasing it forever. It is etched in our brain
forever, sub-consciously, but we must forget it in the fact that we do
not let it control our lives. Each action should not be determined by
our past.

Well, that is easier said than done! Yes, it is!! However, Jesus can
free us from our past. Christ forgives our sins, sins of the past, sins
of the present. Our sins and guilt are all taken away by Jesus' blood.

By the blood of Jesus we can live in the current, the today, not the
what has been. Living today, each day for Jesus. There is no sin too
big for God to forgive. We just have to let Christ release us from the
past and live in the present. Thank you for reading today. Tell someone
about Jesus today!! Love you all!!!!

Good morning everyone!!! Yes, a wonderful day to be alive in the LORD Jesus Christ!! Jesus or Judas?? Did you do one or the other yesterday? So many "Judas'" in our world. I would imagine sometimes we are a "Judas."
Now, what do you mean by that? I am not a Judas!!! What I am saying is this, if we don't stand up for God, we stand there or sit there and say nothing...then...by being silent we are endorsing what they are doing. What???
Okay, if you are with a group of colleagues and someone is using unacceptable language while denouncing Christianity, what do you do? If we don't do anything and just listen...then...by no action we are, in our silence, agreeing with this person.
Are we betraying our belief? OR, are we denying our belief and being as Peter? What is the difference between Judas and Peter? Peter denied Christ out of fear - Judas betrayed Christ for pieces of silver. Take time to read John 18 and you will find Judas' betrayal and Peters' denial.
Yes, as Peter, if we deny we can be forgiven. If we betray and continually endorse the things of the world we become as Judas and our reward is the "silver." We have to remember our destination, where we are headed ultimately.
John 18:36 "Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.""
Is your final destination Jesus' kingdom? Praise God!! Thank you for reading with me today. May God continue to bless you daily, hourly, and each minute of the day. We are given $1440 per day called minutes. May your "money" (minutes) be spent wisely for the kingdom of God. Love you all.

Jesus or Judas? Unity or division?

Good morning everyone!!! Yes, another day to spread the good news of our LORD and Savior - Jesus Christ!! YEA!
Yesterday we talked about unity. What came after this, what else did Jesus say? Jesus, in his last prayer, prayed for Himself (17:1-5), then for His disciples (6-19), and for His entire church (20-26)
In verse 24 Christ's final request is that all who believe on Him would see His glory. And in verses 25-26, righteous Father, because the Father is righteous, He will fulfill all that the Son has requested for His followers. To declare God's name is to declare God's love, for God is love.
Jesus was calling for unity among the believers. All this happens just before He goes to a garden (Gethsemane). What happens at the garden? Remember a fellow named Judas? Oh....OH!!!
Today take a stand, be a Jesus for the Father, NOT a Judas for Jesus! When you have a chance stand up humbly, yet proud for our LORD and Saviour, Jesus!!
Thank you for reading. May your day be blessed and wonderful! Love you all!

Character - what is your reflection????

Good morning all!!! What a wonderful day to be alive in Jesus!!! May your day be worry free and all your trust remain in the Lord. Today let's talk about character and tomorrow about worry.

Proverbs 27:19 "As the water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the person."

What is your reflection like. "Nothing speaks louder or more powerfully than a life of integrity." Charles Swindell

Character is built slowly over a lifetime. It is the sum of every right decision, every honest word, every noble thought, and every heartfelt prayer. It is forged on the anvil of honorable work and polished by the twin virtues of generosity and humility.

Character is a precious thing - difficult to build but easy to tear down.

As believers in Christ, we must seek to live each day with DISCIPLINE, HONESTY, and FAITH. When we do, integrity becomes a habit. Take time, reflect, what person do you see? If that person is troubled take time now to PRAY, talk to our FATHER GOD, and place every little thing in GOD's HANDS!!

"A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold." Proverbs 22:1 Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all.

Are you in training???

God morning everyone!! No, not a typo, a God morning makes a good morning!! I hope your weekend was wonderful and that your time with the Lord was profitable for His kingdom. Are you in training?? Have you thought about this?? Each day you travel this earth you are in training for God's kingdom, to answer to Jesus on the judgement throne!! WOW!! When we think of our life as being in constant training there is a lot of responsibility for me, for you, for all fellow Christians.
1 Timothy 4:14 "Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you."
Now, here, Paul is talking to Timothy. Change this around and let this be God talking to ______(put your name here). Don't neglect the spiritual gift ..... highly skilled and talented athletes lost their abilities if their muscles aren't toned by constant use. Musicians lose their smoothness if they only touch their instrument once a month, once a year.
We are skilled and talented people!! Why? Because God chose you!!! We will lose our spiritual gifts if we don't put them to work. Our talents are improved by exercise, but failing to use them causes them to waste away from lack of practice and nourishment.
Think about your gifts and talents from God!! Don't have any??? I doubt that, God gives His gifts freely. However, their will be strict accounting of them at the end of the road. You are personally accountable for your gifts before God. If you don't believe you know what they are then pray and listen to what God is telling you and where He is taking you.
Romans 12:6-8 "According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts. If prophecy, use it according to the standard of faith; if service, in service; if teaching, in teaching; if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, with generosity, leading, with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness."
Thank you for studying with me today. God is good, all the time; all the time God is good. 2 Timothy 1:6 "I remind you to keep ablaze the gifts of God that is in you." Tell someone about Jesus today.
Better yet, tell someone how they have made a difference in your life. Our pastor, Bro Lou challenged us all to give someone a blue ribbon for what they have done in your life. Drop them a line, card, email, text or whatever to let them know they made a difference in your life. You make a difference in my life as you keep me humble and in the word of God!!
Thank you. Love you all.

True Ministers of God!!

Good morning everyone!!! I trust you had a great day in the Lord Jesus Christ yesterday!! Isn't God great......God is good - all the time; all the time God is good!!!! What a great saying. Also, as Jo Anne tells me "Let go, let GOD!" Now, that is one we really need to think about and do.
My mind keeps going back to 2 Corinthians 6:3 "We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry." (4) "In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind."
I think about the shows we allow in our living room. People yelling at each other, killing each other, making others laugh at someone's expense, affairs, and so on. Then we let our children watch "cartoons" - cartoons that are not funny UNLESS you live in the world, with worldly views and attitudes.
Cartoons like South Park - children cursing; abc family is coming out with a cat show where they "mark" their territory by "peeing" on things; kids yelling at adults; kids covering their ears so they cannot hear the adults; and we could go on and on.
Is my ministry blameless? No, I have probably violated each item listed above and more. How subtle it is; it begins slow and before you know it, it is at full throttle. One joint ain't bad....then another...then another and then something stronger. One beer ain't bad....then 2..then 3...then passout. As the Bible states we are fighting a spiritual battle and who is winning?? Slowly items creep into our society and we allow it, then it grows. We reap what we sow.
I need to be in prayer daily....ASAP...Always Say A Prayer!! We need to be true ministers of God and are we??? Personal search here!!! I am not the ministrer of God that I need to be. Pray for me...pray for others....but first PRAY for YOURSELF!!! God wants us to come to Him daily, not just when there is a problem. Again, think about your ministry today, each day. Thank you for reading. Love you all.

Where are you focused?????

Good morning all! yes, a wonderful day to be alive in Jesus!!!! I have some unspoken prayer requests, God knows, God heals, thank you. God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!!
Where is your faith?? When tested where will you turn?? How deep is your faith??? Right now, today???? Matthew 14:27-31 "But Jesus spoke to them at once, 'Dont be afraid,' he said. 'Take courage, I am here!' Then Peter called to him, 'Lord, if it's really you, tell me to come toyou, walking on the water.' 'Yes, come,' Jesus said. So peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. 'Save me, Lord!' he shouted. Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. 'You have so little faith,' Jesus said, 'Why did you doubt me?'"
Peter was not putting Jesus to the test, he was the only one in the boat to react in faith. His impulsive request led him to experience a rather unusual demonstration of God's power.
Peter started to sink because he took his eyes off Jesus and focused on the high waves around him. His faith wavered when he realized what he was doing. We may not walk on water, butwe may walk through though situations. If we focus on the waves of difficult circumstances around us without faith in Jesus to help, we may worry and sink. We need to focus on Jesus' power rather than on our own weaknesses.
We can start out with good intentions and sometimes our faith may falter. When Peter's faith faltered he reached out to Christ, the only one who could help. He was afraid, but he still looked to Christ.
Christ is always with us, and when you start to worry or question something just think back to Jesus. HE IS ALWAYS WITH YOU!!! Thank you for reading. Love you all.

Perseverance......Do you have it?

Good Morning everyone!!! Yes, another wonderful day in the Lord Jesus Christ!! Who's your savior???? The man who stilled the waters still is with us!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
Hebrews 10:23 "LET US HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION OF OUR HOPE WITHOUT WAVERING FOR HE WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL."
We are running a marathon....NOT A SPRINT!! As does the athlete, we must train and be in shape for the run. We need to finish the race, it is a long and hard race, but in the end our life will be pleasing to God.
We must train spiritually for the race at hand. Perseverance will make us focus on the prize at the end rather than the obstacles that stand in our way. When we focus on the reward and all the wonderful things God has promised us when this life is over, then we can and will be optimistic about the future.
I Corinthians 15:58 "My beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."
Remember that God's schedule for our spiritual growth is often different than our own. Thank you for reading. Love you all. STAY STRONG, STAY THE COURSE, FOCUS ON THE REWARD......EVERLASTING LIFE WITH JESUS!!!

How much do you REALLY believe in God???

Good morning everyone!!! I hope this is a wonderful day in the Lord for you. God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!!!!
Have you thought about how much you would really give up for the Lord? For Jesus?? For God??? The young rich man came to Jesus and asked what he must do. He said he kept the commandments. Jesus told him Luke 18:22 ".....Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, then come, follow me."
Wow!!! What a thing to do!! The young rich man heard this he was sad. As humans we need security.....some have security in God......and I would say most have security in their earthly possessions....IRA, 401K, retirement, home, etc. BUT they do believe in God. How deep is our belief?
Could I give it all up and follow Christ? I would like to say a resounding YES,......but, would I really? A special lady I know will say, "It's only money," or "It's God's anyway," and does not panic at the thought of losing her material possessions. Is my faith that strong??? I have to pray that it is. Examine your faith....is it that strong??
Luke 18:24 "Jesus said, How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God! (25) In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God."
Thank you for reading. Stop, Drop, and Pray!!! Love you all.

Are you as a child in the Kingdom of God

Good morning!!! What a lovely day this will be!! Why? Because, God made it, God allowed us to experience His beauty one more time!!! Yea!! God is good, all the time; all the time, God is good!!!!
Luke 18:15-17 "One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him. (16) Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, 'Let the children come to me. Don't stop them!! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. (17)I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.'"
In these days it was customary for a mother to bring her children to a rabbi for a blessing and that is why they came to Jesus. The disciples felt the children were unworthy of the Master's time. However, Jesus welcomed them because the children had the kind of faith and trust needed to enter God's kingdom.
How can we be a child for the Kingdom of God? This simply means having the simple, trusting attitude that children show to adults they depend on. Jesus wants his people to enjoy prayer by delighting in his company. Take time in the day to read or study the Bible; pray and seek God's guidance; rely on God totally as children do on adults who love them.
How much we should rely on Jesus.....BUT.....do we???? Stop, Drop, Pray and GIVE IT ALL TO JESUS!!! Let our hearts and minds have the spirit of the little child and solely trust in the LORD!! Thank you for reading. Love you all.

Christ....seing the invisible God

Good morning to all!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!! As we studied yesterday in Bible study, some things jumped out at me and I would like to share. This is very simple, but sometimes we don't "see" the simple in it's "simple form."
Colossians 1:15 "WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE:"
The image expresses Christ's deity in relation to the Father; it is the very stamp of God as He was before the incarnation. The work is not form but IMAGE!!!The invisible God became visible in Christ: deity was clothed with numanity, deity under some human limitations. Christ in God: visible, audible, apporachable, knowable, and available. All that God is, Christ is.
The first-born of every creature. This expresses Chrsit's deity and sovereignty in relation to creation. Christ was the first-born, not the first created. First-born signifies priority in time. First speaks of His preexistence, what He was from eternity. He was before all creation; not a part of creation, but apart from creation. He is not a creature, but the Creator.
Second, this speaks of the supremacy of His position. He is the self-existent, acknowledged Head of creation. And, third, this speaks of being recognized as the Messiah (Ps 89:27). So we have declared the eternity, the sovereignty, and the lordship of Christ.
This read to me in a totally different light and touched me. I hope and pray it did as well for you. Thank you for reading. 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.

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.
In Christ's Love and Grace
