All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

So you think you are wise?

Here is a collection of verses that demonstrate God's plan to frustrate and confound those that consider themselves wise and intelligent. For their intelligence is man made and cannot be mixed with the wisdom of God. Man's attempt at explaining the world apart from God is an example of devolution as we have drifted further and further from the union we had with God in the Garden of Eden. That perfect union and glory in the presence of God is an unimaginable gift to those that accept… Continue

Tracking Generation Types across the Kings of Judah

Recent studies of American History highlight a lot of “interesting” theories. Left wing Historians often are guilty of “Presentism” – which is applying the standards and values of their particular leanings to people who lived 80 – 100 – even 400 years ago to show how hollow, murderous, or stupid they were. Right wing historians have some of the same problems in order to refute Left Wing politics but both make the mistake of studying time and history as a linear progression that wanders across… Continue

Blog Numero Trois- I'm procrastinating

I have a micro-economics test tomorrow, I should be studying. Part of me is hoping he'll cancel and I won't have to go in. It snowed pretty bad. So i'm praying that I will not suffer the consequences of the bad choices that i am making now. The odds that God will honor my prayer are about none. Arrrghhhh!

"What is a carnal Christian?"

Question: "What is a carnal Christian?"

Answer: Can a true Christian be carnal? In answering this question, let’s first define the term "carnal." The word "carnal" is translated from the Greek word "sarkikos," which literally means "fleshly." This descriptive word is seen in the context of Christians in 1 Corinthians 3:1-3. In this passage, the Apostle Paul is addressing the readers as "brethren," a term Paul uses almost exclusively to refer to other Christians, and then goes on to… Continue

FACING HUMAN NATURE ISN'T ALWAYS EASY <a href="http://www.christianglitter.com"><img src="http://off1.picsrc.net/images/chrglt/profileExtras/iLoveJesusWhiteBlinkie.gif" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="h

Even though I have been subjected throughout life to the darker side of human nature, it still never ceases to stun, shock, hurt, amaze, bewilder and frighten me. We are all human. We are all capable of hurting one another in very deep and permanent ways. It is through the grace of God that I am promised eternal life and through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, I am able to resist some pretty ugly things.

Today, I was faced with a challenge that sadly I have had to deal with a lot… Continue

As a Little Child

When we’re Children the world is new and a place to be discovered. As GK Chesterton said, We’re excited not just because Lilly opened a door to find a land of fairies but because Lilly, a small kid just like us, figured out how to open the door. Reality is romantic because it’s mysterious. We don’t know that a rose bush is going to produce the same color rose every year. Next year instead of red they may be yellow. We don’t see things as forgone conclusions; the world still holds mystery and… Continue

Be A Good Example

Be A Good Example

Taken from Pastor Joel Osteen Live Like A Champion

You are always ministering to those around you. Even though you may not be behind a pulpit, your life is your sermon. People watch how you live, how you respond to adversity, how consistent you are and how you treat the people around you. God calls us to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth. This simply means that the way we live should make other people want to be around us and have what we… Continue

Poem "The Dance" by Hope Grace

Abandonment and Degradation

Intimately held hatred and animosity

Drawing my rapt attention

They danced on the edge of memory

Their dance was spellbinding

And my wrath did swell within

When suddenly I realized

I had been taken in

They circled themselves around me

And gripped each others hands

They sang to me their song

And encouraged me to dance

I began to sway slowly

To the hypnotic pulse they played

But… Continue

"What does it mean that God is love?"

Answer: What does it mean that God is love? First we will look at how God's Word, the Bible, describes "love," and then we will see a few ways that it applies to God. "Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud. It is not rude. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people's wrongs. Love is not happy with evil; but it is full of joy when the truth is spoken. It… Continue

My Valentine

My gorgeous daughter Nena was born 8 years ago on Valentines Day. I can't think of a better gift. No box of chocolate, flowers, jewelry or cards could ever be more special than this precious PRECOCIOUS child. Mind you as a single mom, the idea of chocolate, flowers, jewelry or cards would not even be an option (not that I ever got them while I was married or dating for that matter...in fact even in school I was the kid that got no valentines in… Continue

What are the Current Living Generations Like?

What are the Current Living Generations Like?

Note: I am in San Diego this week working in SPAWAR.

"21" is a book about Blackjack. It is a best seller and will soon be a movie. The story is that a bunch of MIT students in the mid-1990s start a BlackJack club and over time, they assault the large casino BlackJack tables and come away with millions of dollars. These college kids are brilliant; their math skills translate into the ability to simultaneously track 6 to 8 hands… Continue

Are demons and exorcisms real? - CBS

The Exorcism of Emily Rose and the legion of Exorcist films raise important questions about the spiritual realm. Having personally witnessed what I believe was a very real exorcism with very real demons, my answer to the question is "yes."

"My mom's completely flipped out. I mean, she sees demons everywhere. Just this morning the car died on the way to school. She got out, pounded on the hood, and yelled, 'In the name of Jesus, I command the foul spirits of engine stalling to come… Continue

Nena's First Day At School - Camden Christian Academy

This is the 1st full week home for Nena and Edward. They have been away from me for 1 year and 2 mos.

My birth mother went through many tragedies, my sister has lived through many many tragedies, I have lived through well you get the point....TRAGEDY!!!!

I watched the Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring last night. It is the first time I watched it since I rededicated my life to Christ and it would appear that even my perspective on everything I watch draws me to analyze things from a Christian point of view. It would appear that I have many similar characteristics to Frodo and Bilbo Baggins.

How so????....If you are asking this, wow you are reading my blog and I am honored. I am really going to be using…

I am studying Daniel right now using the Beth Moore Study series. I am so grateful for that amazing lady. God has so blessed her and me through her.
