(Jesus said) "Do not judge, or you too will be judged." Matthew 7:1 Most of us like to think of ourselves as being pretty normal individuals. We try to obey the speeding laws and generally keep ourselves out of trouble. In contrast to the favorable opinion most of us have of ourselves, Clarence Darrow, the famous criminal lawyer, once said, "Everyone is a potential murderer." About himself, he

"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men." Ephesians 6:7 During the American Revolution, a man in civilian clothes rode past a group of soldiers repairing a defensive barrier. Their leader, a low-ranking corporal, seemed to delight in shouting orders. He shouted, but he made no effort to help with the task at hand. When the civilian asked the corporal why he was conducting

      "But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you My power, so that My Name may be proclaimed in  all the earth." (Exodus 9:16) Almost all of us have dreams for the future, don't we? Some of those dreams will become reality; some we will never see attained. Knowing that, I was fascinated to hear about the dream of a very successful man: Robert Woodruff. Woodruff is not a household

My friend Tom Davis wrote on "What It Means To Be An Image Bearer" his blog. At times it seems quite hard to forgive but I've come to learn this -- don't we all deserve a second change? I mean, didn't Jesus die on the cross for our sins? So if we find ourselves not able to forgive at times, wouldn't that be saying we are better than Jesus, Our Lord & Savior???

Happy Thursday :) Since it's only 0158 here in the Northwoods of Minnesota I've not had much of a chance to GO OUT & do something for Someone but I do have "Sleeping Beauty" here (see yesterday blog) He's sleeping soundly & PEACEFULLY on the couch near by, he's even Snoring! LOL It's been awhile since he's slept so Sound & Long! Thank You for all your prayers and may they continue throughout

JUST got word that the Child inside Mommy (Nephew's live-in G.F.) is a GIRL and they are "partly" naming it after my middle name which has been carried down through generations!!!

Now that we know...I found this here (thanks Amy!) and while it is hard to watch, hard to take, and hard to admit - we need to do just that. We need to admit we are failing and come up with a plan. Oh wait-God already did that... as Audrey put it WE ARE THE PLAN. Let us never forget that. Let us never forget we are responsible. We cannot call ourselves Christians and know what we know and do

Friday 30/01/2009FAITH ~ "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." ~Heb 11:1If you had read my blog Wed, I'm sorry! I questioned Faith.
