Dear Lord,

Teach us to pray

each and every day.

Let the words that I say,

Honor and glorify your way.

The times we decide to play

let the holy Spirit with us stay.

In Jesus Name we pray,

Amen

All I Need To Know I Learned From Noah And The Ark.

 1. Don't miss the boat.

 2. Try to remember that we're all in the same boat.

 3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark, you know.

 4. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something REALLY big.

 5. Don't listen to critics, just get on with what has to be done.

 6. Build your future on high ground.

Thank you all for praying for my parents, and rest of family.  We will find out more on Monday, by His Grace we continue, that is the best way.  We are outside of St. Louis it was a beautiful drive.  Our internet was out for a day and half, or more.  It looks like I missed somethings?  Still my Trust is in the Lord.  Many things I've posted have been taken the wrong way.  My heart is real, read earlier blogs, there is a common thread.…

Is it Time to Use a Clarifying Shampoo?

“Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.” (1 John 3:3)

Day in and day out all kinds of stuff builds up on our hair and it begins to feel weighed down, looks greasy or dull and it becomes hard to manage. When this happens, any professional hairdresser will advise you to use a good clarifying shampoo that will help get rid of…

It has been the most difficult two weeks of my life at work as well  as my health.  I suffer from these chronic dizzy spells which happen most of the time and every single day accompanied with migraines. On top of that my job is extremely high stress and there is an environment of hypocrisy now that is only making my illness worse! It has gotten to the point where I may take a short leave of absence and try to rest but at the same time find new work elsewhere.  If I don't my job will surely…

The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders. . .                  The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. . .                 The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning.                       …

observe the precepts of Christ, and to copy his example; to do justice, to love mercy, and to beware of covetousness; to be ready for every good work, avoiding needless strife, and bearing evils, if possible, rather than seeking redress by law. It will be found there is little got by striving. Let us not envy prosperous oppressors; far be it from the disciples of Christ to choose any of their ways. These truths may be despised by the covetous and luxurious, but…

Solomon had pressed us earnestly to seek diligently for wisdom Prov 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; and had assured us that we should succeed in our sincere and constant pursuits. But the question is, What shall we get by it when we have found it? Prospect of advantage is the spring and spur of industry; he therefore shows us how much it will be to our…

Let us not suffer Christ's words to depart from us, but keep sound wisdom and discretion; then shall we walk safely in his ways. The natural life, and all that belongs to it, shall be under the protection of God's providence; the spiritual life, and all its interests, under the protection of his grace, so that we shall be kept from falling into sin or trouble.

Let not them depart from your eyes - Never forget that God,…

It is wonderful the effect of a single verse of Scripture

when the Spirit of God applies it to the soul.



What power would come upon the soul,

if we would grasp a single line of Scripture

and suck the honey out of it till our soul

is filled with sweetness.

-Spurgeon…

There is not a greater enemy to the fear of the Lord in the heart, than self-conceit of our own wisdom. The prudence and sobriety which religion teaches, tend not only to the health of the soul, but to the health of the body. Worldly wealth is but poor substance, yet, such as it is, we must honour God with it; and those that do good with what they have, shall have more to do more good with. Should the Lord visit us with trials and sickness, let us not forget…

I want to become the invisible man. As I follow the steps, obey the teaching, I will be no more. Only speak what I have heard; what I have been shown and told to share. Only do what I have been taught. That is the goal, you know. It is not a cookie cutter kind of thing. I am only one expression of Him. We will not be the same. My purpose is not the same as yours. Our reason for being, is the same. We are born of the same.…
