I got to thinking this morning, dangerous !!! Stand back!!! Maybe I should say a thought came to me...I often find fault with organized religion for preaching one thing or expecting one thing of the congregation while exempting themselves from what was preached....so call this a self-examination ....heard the song, or remember the song.."I am the church, You are the church, We are the church together"....Sort of rings a bell that I---You---We---are the church. Now if I, You, We are not being fed Spiritually from an Organization calling itself a Christian Group, then we need to seek that Spiritual Guidance. Mainly Bible study, Prayer and listen for the Holy Spirit to speak to us.

The Church is the Body of Christ, now this brings me to the question, what church do folks I encounter daily, see? The only church some may see is "ME".....self check-- Am I, You, We the church we are suppose to be or are all guilty of the same as organized religion?

I love self examination/self checks, sort of helps me to stay in check, just saying.

Are you one who has a difficult time speaking up as to your faith, when you feel called to? Well, welcome to the real world, you sure are not out there all by yourself. For me, I have learned to handle it like this, even when talking with total strangers....."I don't know where your faith is, but I am of the Christian Faith".etc, etc, etc. It is amazing, even when uncomfortable, how fellow believers will start to discuss instances of faith. One such short example, I was in Wood Craft to purchase some wood working stuff and however it came up I said to the employee, "I don't your faith, but I am of the Christian Faith, let me explain how God & I did some wood working that in no way was I capable of doing." I continued with my story, then He told me that his daughter ask him if he had a piece of wood she could have to make a plaque, so he fixed her up a nice piece of wood, never ask what it was for, then one day he walked into his shop and she had beautifully written out for him on the plaque..." COINCEDENCES ARE MIRACLES WHEN GOD WANTS TO REMAIN ANONMOUS".....

POINT: If you feel called to speak, speak...if you are called to keep quite, hush up... God works in strange ways, through unlikely people...there are times He even will use me....I might suggest that you do not take it upon yourself to share your faith, follow the lead of the Holy Spirit, He knows way more of what is to be done than you....acting on my own, I can really screw things up, just saying

God Bless & "think seriously" of what Jesus went through for you and me, God had to love mankind a lot to allow His Son to endure such for folks like us....I sure ain't worth it, but ever so thankful that He thinks I am.
