the stag and the grissley

THE STAG AND THE GRISSLEY

I watched a nature film one day and I saw this mighty stag going down the river looking for a place to get out. It came out onto a gravel island in the middle of the river and sat and rested. The banks on either side of the river were steep but around the next corner was a beach on the side and an easy way back to open country. But the stag could not see this.

Then along came the bear. The bear saw dinner and climbed down the bank and set out for the… Continue

Never Again?

There is a calamity every bit as horrifying and hideous as any in the bloody history of genocide in the 20th, now 21st century. The events in the Darfur region of the Sudan continue only because too few join the outcry against the mutilation, rape, and murder of thousands upon thousands of human beings.

After World War II civilized people everywhere joined the cry or moral outrage, “Never Again!” Sadly, it is happening again. And maybe too far away for many to care. Further even than… Continue

MR. MAGOO - WHAT DO WE DO?

From My Perspective - - -

Quincy Magoo - Mr. Magoo - is a cartoon character. He is a wealthy, short-in-stature retiree who gets into a series of sticky situations as a result of his nearsightedness compounded by his stubborn refusal to admit the problem. Affected people (or animals) often had the impression that he is a lunatic, rather than just being nearsighted. In later cartoons he is also an actor, and generally a competent one except for his visual impairment. In our nation… Continue

What Work Does God Want Me to Do?

I have been watching the news lately, hearing how Christianity is being trashed by about everybody, it seems. I began to feel the need to communicate with other Christians. I feel so helpless to do something about the persecution of Christians everywhere including our own country and thought that communicating with and listening to other Christians like the people on this forum might help me to feel better about the future of our faith and just knowing that there are still people out there who… Continue

Rock & Worship

Devotional of the Week

Friday night we went to an awesome concert with Mercy Me, Hawk Nelson and Jeremy Camp. It was an amazing concert. I felt like there was nothing but God. Sometimes we forget about God. I wish I would never forget about God but we all sin, so we're not fully clean. But all of you know God can cleanse you and wash away your sins.

And if you haven't accepted Jesus as your Savior, read our blog..... next week.

REST FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD

REST FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD

So there remains a Sabbath rest ( the repose of Christianity as a type of Heaven, abode, rest ) for the people of God.

For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested ( from work, from toil from making an effort or occupation, by implication, an act, a deed, doing, labor ) from his works, as God did from His.

Therefore let us be diligent ( To make effort, be… Continue

DENIGRATION

From My Perspective - - -

This past week, two separate events transpired that brought to mind different ideas that are somewhat akin to each other, namely, Belittle and Denigrate. Belittle is: “To represent or speak of as contemptibly small or unimportant; disparage; To cause to seem less than another or little…” Denigration is defined as: “to attack the character or reputation of; speak ill of; defame; disparage; belittle…”

Two illustrations of this phenomena occurred… Continue

Bringing long and lost back to the flock

Good evening and to some Good Morning,

To All who read this I try to write this as though it where a love letter. The book of John is bar non the best.

Today my Wife and I where joined in church by not only by my Mother( a long time Believer) and my younger brother who I feel will be returning to flock in short order. Like me his heart is very sensitive, and through the course of the ministry I could feel his heart tremble in the word. I could feel the layers of the mean and evil… Continue

What a wonderful day!!

Brothers and Sisters, today has been a wonderful day. I have been so worried about our Sister Myrna, as she is truly struggling in her walk with the Lord. Her husband has slipped back into drugs, in an attempt to feel alive again, and I know the emptiness that comes instead all too well. I pray for her and her husband and ask all who read this to do the same, as it only takes a moment to ask God to help them both in their struggle.

I got to spend yesterday doing gardening work at our… Continue

Wedding!

I attended a wonderful wedding yesterday. Two members of my motorcycle club got married and asked if I would do the video and photo coverage for them. Was a great day and all went very well.
One thing about me being an ex-Navy photographer, I still get to do a lot of things like this.
I wish them the best of luck and It sure turned my Saturday into a wonderful day.

Boys Night Out! (Miracle, Vision)

The Lord saved Jims life 6 times that I know of; that the Holy Spirit has laid upon my heart and shoulders; in strong feelings of doom; and heavy weight placed upon my shoulders.

10:30pm till 6:30 am. After about 2 hrs of working the 2 workers w/me decided we… Continue

What's a buck?

In the US, we spend $43 Billion dollars a year on our pets. We also spend billions on cosmetics, clothing, and gas gulping cars built for style and flash more than value or efficiency. Many of us live in homes large enough to hold an entire clan in many other parts of the world. We are 5% of the world's population and we consume 25 to 35% of the world's resources. It's not to say we haven't earned it, but at what cost?

If a man has $5.00 in his pocket and is standing next to someone… Continue

CONFIDENCE

If you could convince people that our country’s economy is going to collapse, and you could get everybody talking about it, what do you think the result would be? The economy would collapse! The simple reason is that our economy has one essential foundation: confidence. The same is true of every similar system—financial, political or spiritual: if confidence is undermined, it is certain to lead to disaster.

In this article I want to examine three themes related to confidence:… Continue

BRINGING THE BACKSLIDERS HOME TO THE FATHER

BRINGING THE BACKSLIDERS HOME TO THE FATHER

“For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.” ( 1Peter 2:25 NAS )

1. Those who attempt to restore a backslider must themselves be walking closely with the Lord and make sure we are not in the same, or worse position as the backslider.

I remember seeing a preacher publicly… Continue
