from Mark 7:----"This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."
Have you ever given much thought to this Bible verse? Caution, don't believe everything that comes out of the pulpit of your church or from your SundaySchool teachings....In Scripture we are taught that the Holy Spirit will reveal and teach us all things.. Somewhere around 2800-2900 years ago the prophet Isaiah wrote about folks who put "evil for good & good for evil.." comes from the 5th Chap, anyway my point is that we should be careful of all we are being told and taught.....suppose you hear something and a little voice inside you raises the question of right & wrong, may I suggest you put that thought to the test.....Scripture says, "seek & you will find---knock and it will be opened---ask and it will be given..." When God gives the answer it is always the right answer, jus say'n----God Bless and have a good day
I love to tell the stories, of unseen things above, of Jesus and His Love
I tell ya, I really wanted to jus stay home, but me kicking and screaming like a little high school girl, how she managed to drag me all that way I have no idea and she made me do 95% of the driving too.....sometimes life just ain't fair....My bride even forced me to have a good time, I have no idea what this ole world is coming to.....I think I saw Elvis, not sure.
Da Boss & I have been running around the east towards the west coast since Feb. 14 in hopes of escaping the Va. cold, well Va. Cold turned out to be warm compared to snow in southern Nv. & Kingston Ariz. got 13 in" snow.......proves one thing, God does have a since of humor....Now for my point, on our drive back home I think I learned something---spiritual----driving E. on I-40 between Ft.Smith, Ark. & Little Rock, around 3a.m. on a long straight stretch, way off in the distance is a huge white cross all lit up and for a good distance a person can not help but see that big ole cross-----Now I really appreciated seeing that, although I have seen it numerous times in the past, but this time it really got my little ole "P" brain to thinking just what that ole cross did and meant for me....then I got to thinking and understanding why maybe non-believers are so offended by the ole cross.......Some say the Gospel of Jesus Christ is offensive and convecting, the Cross is a representative of the Gospel of Jesus Christ----hang in here with me for a second, I am almost to the point------Suppose you are a non-believer and upon seeing that ole cross the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart, my friend the Holy Spirit pointing out to a non-believer their short-comings is by all means offensive and convicting----the cross represents the Gospel of Jesus Christ and many just don't want anything changing their way of life, so indeed they find the Ole Cross an offensive to them.....I cut this short, but while driving across I-40 I thought a lot about this, both concerning me and my life and the non-believer and their life. I have seen a cross many times over the past 75 yrs. of life but I believe that every time in the future when I see the cross I will also see a message ringing out in my heart, a message that has been there but now has a new light
The Old Rugged Cross so despised by the world----has a wondrous attraction for me
May I encourage you that the next time you see a cross take a moment and think what that means for you......might even put a thank you in there
My wife & I took some of our profits from Raj/Joe&Co and took a 3 week vacation to Vegas,OOPPPS, sorry I mis-spoke again, we went on her money, or she took me to Vegas..... I should be ashamed, but I held my head down for 10 seconds then had a good time..... I didn’t want her to think her money went to waste
I was using my profits from this to pay the phone bill, then went to the train station to meet the rigs
Whan the roll is called up yonder, i’ll Be there
Not long ago I posted concerning a close person to me who had question concerning our faith, I ask for prayers for guidance as IMO this person was a bit shady, to say the least...I stepped out and sure I said things that was not exactly what the person wanted to hear...but, but but I think some of it sunk in, so I ask for continued prayers for the Spiritual lost. We as Christians can not become complacent in our faith, thinking how safe we are while ignoring the Spiritual condition of family & friends. I have come to believe no matter how tacky, shady, or crusty a person may be that somewhere deep inside they are just waiting for a seed to be planted or watered, this my friends is our job....It is not our job to save anyone but it is our job to so let our light so shine. If only the Christian & church goers would realize that each of us in our own way is an ambassador for Christ, we are the messengers, and you know what that means. God has given us each talents and we are held accountable to use these talents...Often folks think being the messenger requires us to speak, give $$$$, etc ---we look at being the messenger as some real acts, but do we realize that sometime just sitting and listening is a real talent, just holding a hand of one going through tuff times, often the least good deed can easily be the biggest deed. Jesus said not to put a light under a basket...no one is saying we have to preach or be class leaders---we are just called to show love and kindness , do that and leave the big jobs to the Lord....1 last thought, let's say you truly believe that there is a God and this God is very much alive in your world, why would you not pass on this knowledge? We find a sale going on, real unbelievable low prices and we tell all our family & friends and even folks we bump into that we do not know about this great sale ---The biggest deal any of us will ever come by is the FREE gift of God's Grace......and we wanna keep that a secret??? Come now----suppose you are in heaven and see family in hell and you just don't understand so you ask God---WHY? He then ask you "why did you not tell them about my Grace?" What U gonna say???? Some time ago this really bugged me so much that I sat each of my kids down, one at a time and explained why I believe that there is a God who is very much alive in our world today---
We, as Christians should be capable of talking to complete strangers, not sharing the gospel so to speak, just shooting the bull, maybe about your nice pick-up, maybe about the weather or whatever---they should know or wonder if you are a Christian.....sometime they even will ask or state--"You are a christian --aren't you.?"(what a blessing)----That my friend is God working through you----I have yet to find a person who is hateful to kindness-----they may cast it off, ignore it but not hateful-----Then sometime the smart azzz shows in us and we just have to say--"Thanks for allowing me to hold the door for you."
Much today is said about race relations being terrible---you as a Christian have the chance almost every day to prove folks wrong------We are ambassadors for Christ---if we believe !!!!
God Bless
a story for another time...but, this piece of Scripture was with me when things were got shaky during my open heart surgery, like I said a good story for another day....but this Scripture is alive and sound as it has been through the ages, commit to memory and never fear, life here on earth is only a temporary thing-----no fear, no fear
HAPPY VALENTINE DAY to you good folks , well, why not—-to you bad folks also.. A special day to say I LOVE YOU and show acts of love——-God doesn’t need a special day or special reasons, He just lives us as we are, don’t know why, but he does.
Woke up to BLESSED SAAURANCE
GOD BLESS
when I was less than 5 yr. old I played with a candle while mom & dad & family was at church, I stayed home with my older sick brother...anyway I caught the curtains on fire----then when maybe 11 or 12 I had a 5gal metal can that use to have had some sort of something in it....I could not get the top off so thought maybe if I lit a match and toss it in there it would blow the top off, well it & I lost my eyebrows, had curly hair which stank to high betsy, but did not get burned......Proves that God loves us stupid guys.....by the way it is always ok to make a mistake just don't make the same mistake twice.....I have more stupid stuff in my background, but, but, but,,,,,sometimes enough said is enough said. I also know about the last part also, how sin can grow & grow & grow----back then we did not call it sin, matter of fact we did not think of sin or if we labeled stuff sin, that would mean we can't or shouldn't do it, reckon back then the trick was just don't think about it, just do it......
Now I know one or 2 of you folks are shaking your head and thinking, WOW!!! How crazy....I reckon you are right, but then I would bet 10 to 1 each of you have stupid stuff in your past, if the truth be known it is a miracle that many of us are alive today......Sorry, I got to stop thinking, starting to scare myself
OH MY!!! Lookie here---Hump Day already,,,,wha-hooo----I flipped open the Good Book , just flipped it open and landed here--John:3: 35-36--"The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe in the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides in him."...Sort of self explanatory and very clear....God Bless and you folks have a great day
I know I put this tune out not long ago, but, I have some, I think, rather serious issues concerning some folks close to me, anyway around 3:30 I woke with this stuff on my mind, I tossed, turned and talked with God,,, out of nowhere came——“when you walk with the Lord in the newness of life, TRUST AND OBEY”... .. I suppose that is what we are called to do——take our issues to the Lord in prayer then just Trust & Obey. I have many times talked about the fact that we take our problems to the cross, Lay it all out to the Lord, then when we leave the cross we pack up all that junk and take it with us, because we do not trust & obey. We just can not ask God for assistance then put ourselves in charge.... when we learn to trust our faith grows beyond measure... Oh, I never got back to sleep, but have peace and enjoying my coffee
God Bless
A whole bunch of truth here....thanks
Am I allowed just 1 more post this morning? Went to get my 3rd coffee and BINGO!! The good tune finally showed up---"Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord"-------
OK, I'm done
OH ME!! What a day and it ain't even started....I like the way Paul starts his Epistles...then I like to use his words but bring it concerning my folks of today.....hang in there with me, we all know I really am not a best communicator....-----If I may----To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are here on the Bible Board.--Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ-----TO ME---changing the greeting sometimes really brings things in to personal up to date setting....Over in Col. 3: 12-14 " therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering; bearing with one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection---
After 2 cups of coffee, struggling to put a tune in my heart and reading my Scriptures, my little "P" brain was really taken from my Virginia Governor's abortion stand, then also abortion in general. Have you ever noticed how to make things OK we just change the name, call it something else & that makes all ok....EX: If a politician steals it is called "misappropriation of Gov't funds"----if a banker steals it is called "embezzlement" if I go to the corner and steal I am just an every day thief----while all along each of us are stealing...Which brings me back to Abortion: In the O.T. child sacrifice was and the sin of it is available if anyone cares to research.....then check out the definition of murder----then think on why people back in the day participated in child sacrifice and on the subject of murder.....so today we just cleaned it up and call it abortion and make it politically incorrect to call it what it is.......thereby giving us a clean conscience----bottom line we have fallen a long way from grace.
One last thought----it has only been a few years ago that the subject was free birth control had to be made available---remember??---this was to help stop unwanted pregnancy ---how did that work out?
I'm telling you I should have stayed in bed and will asked to be put on a short leash today, reckon I better not leave the yard....
God Bless
This morning I just don't know, suppose we all have those days.....I woke up only to want to go back to sleep, I searched for a tune and all I came up with was---"OH Lord its humble-- to be perfect in every way,-- to know me is to love me,--we're doing the best that we can..." Now with that reckon my morning Bible reading is in store & and a lot of "OH!! Happy day---when Jesus washed my sins away'"...
Maybe my wife beat me while I was sleeping
OH WELL!! No sympathy here, so, you folks have a really Blest day and let that ole light shine, our world is in bad need of it

OH WELL!! No sympathy here, so, you folks have a really Blest day and let that ole light shine, our world is in bad need of it
Woke up 10 min. Ago,,,, tune:
STAND UP, STAND UP GOR JESUS——-
Wonder if this will challenge me today?
I scared---it way tooooo quite in here, what's that?
HAPPY SUNDAY folks......GOD Bless...
Sit down and the tune that hit-----"Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost"
Not sure if that is word for word, but that was how it was to me----May I suggest you take just a moment and thank God for being here this morning
Truth in there, we need to be ready, no do overs
Now let me be honest here, just for a moment....any longer than a moment I may be tempted to lie...HEE HEE!!! Most mornings I wake with a tune, but not every morning, and those slo morning by the time I get around to fixing my breakfast I have a tune to sing, humm & whistle.....at 75 I figure I best make the most of every earthly moment, much easier to carry a tune than carry a heartache----I had to look up the whole song here, "SINCE JESUS CAME INTO MY HEART"-----Go through the words and try t tell me it ain't so-----I pulled out an old song book for this....copyright 1925 and sold for 25cents a copy or @.75 per dozen or $17.50 per 100 and Ole Rick will be happy to hear it came from Nashville, Tenn.---John T. Benson publishing Co.-----I do not know why, but on the cover I have a yellow sticky with this "Matthew 23:9----and call no man father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven"
What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have ceased from my wandering and going astray,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And my sins, which were many, are all washed away,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I shall go there to dwell in that City, I know,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And I'm happy, so happy, as onward I go,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o'er my soul
Like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
As you go out yonder amongst the world, may this tune help to keep you walking the walking we so often talk of
When may I ask is the last time you sang or heard this oldie-----"We praise thee, O God! For the Son of thy love, For Jesus who died, and is now gone above. Hallelujah! Thine the glory, Hallelujah Amen, Revive us again."
I Looked up revive---"restore to life or consciousness.
"both men collapsed, but were revived"
synonyms: resuscitate, bring round, bring to life, bring back, bring someone (back) to their senses, bring back to consciousness, bring back from the edge of death; More
regain life, consciousness, or strength.
"she was beginning to revive from her faint"
give new strength or energy to.
"the cool, refreshing water revived us all"
synonyms: reinvigorate, revitalize, refresh, energize, reanimate, resuscitate, brace, fortify, strengthen, revivify, rejuvenate, regenerate, renew, breathe new life into, enliven, stimulate, freshen
When I really think about "revive"....the old song really carries a meaning. I wonder if...Our churches and our Christian brothers and sisters in Christ could use a bit of being restored to the Christian principles & beliefs, then I look at all those others examples of 'revive" and I think a preacher could easily get several good sermons there. Probably have to put PC aside, but, but, but
The other day I posted that I was ask by a lady for answers to some Christian stuff & I ask that maybe you folks could maybe offer up a prayer or 2 for me.....Well this morning I finished up, now I don't know if prayers were lifted or not, but at the same time I now within my heart that they were because I could have never gotten through this respectfully with out prayers and certainly in the end it was God's will that this be done------When we call upon God for help and it falls in the area of His will, He always comes through....Times like this always strengthens faith....If & when you face a challenge may I suggest that you call upon God, follow the Holy Spirit"s guidance and then after your project is completed be thankful and give God the credit and thankful that He choose someone like us to be the messenger, you will always be the winner
God Bless....put a smile on
Happy Hump day---jus a few more Dazs before Friday liberty, OH WAIT!!! I been retired now for 15 yrs...so indirectly I have been E-Z living Liberty for 15 yrs. Retired at 60 and now 75. Been reading and studying my Bible since 1990 and still don't know much,,,,but that doesn't bother me much. WHY? Billy G in his older years said that after all his years of reading and his study of the Scriptures he was still learning and knew very little, now if that guy in his old age felt that way, who are we---you & me--- to think we know it....just babbling on a bit----You want to know something of concern, read your Scripture, review resource materials, talk with God and wait on the Holy Spirit----be patient---the answer will come.
Almost forgot,-- that happens at 75----my tune this morning--"Trust and Obey, there is no other way."
In the N.T. Trust is or goes with Believe---Right now, starting last night I had a person text message me about Christian stuff....She had several questions--I explained that I had to talk with God, my opinion doesn't count for much, but My Bible & My God has the answers, I would get back.....so I know what my morning will be---I did start with what I knew as fact-----!st and foremost we have to accept Jesus Christ as our personal savior----her reply was----OH I know, I am ok there, meaning I don't want to talk about that, now things get more complicated....God and the Holy Spirit have their work cut out for themselves- When folks say I believe, I have to wonder is their belief, a superficial belief or a belief of total commitment ------not my job to judge, but certainly can tell by their fruits. This young lady is sincere in her asking and wanting to know.....Maybe a prayer or 2 for me & her might would help....thanks......I am honored to have been the chosen one to answer a few questions, (Planting a few seeds) but I am addressing someone as far to the other side as I & you all are in our Christian walk......we are talking alcohol, LBGT , not a child, but children out of wedlock--not 1 father but 2 or 3 in no way are they involved, I don't think drugs are involved but at the same time would not be surprised about anything....In my little shell I was very comfortable, sometimes we get what we ask for----"God anything I can do for you today/"---this shows that God is ever present and He certainly has a sense of humor----"HUMM!! You ask, so here, how about seeing what you can do with this.."
As you go out and around think about the message you are putting out....does a non-believer see Christ like actions or just a wanna be Sunday morning Christ follower-----In this world we will never be perfect, the world has only known 1 perfect person and they nailed him to the cross ...(I was once corrected on this and told that 2 perfect persons walked the earth---1st Jesus Christ, 2nd this man's wife's 1st husband.). We fail, but John teaches that we have a Lawyer (Advocate) Jesus Christ and if we ask for forgiveness He is faithful-----
God Bless---Have a GREAT HUMP DAY
thank ya......got that tune stuck in the ole "P" brain.....I have an Elvis Gospel disc and when traveling I love to listen to it....Folks who would put on a show with Elvis say that after the show was over He would have those folks who shared the stage with him up to his room and they would sing gospel all night long. I know a lot of folks don't care for ole Elvis but when he sings gospel it really speaks to me, he may not be, but he just sounds so sincere, like he is led to sing it........My bride being about 8 yrs younger than me ---she don't like Elvis, then she heard him singing gospel and loves his singing....I never cared much for BlueGrass, but every Sunday Morning I have to listen to BlueGrass Gospel, it is just something sincere about how they sing it------you folks know I am a terrible communicator so insert the correct words for what I am trying to say.....can't help my self, been that way for 75 yrs.
God Bless and put your favorite in your heart morning, walk around humming that tune, whistling or sing'n the tune, just another way of letting your light so shine----helps to keep the ole devil outside your heart----there just isn't enough room in my heart for God & the devil at the same time-----When the devil shows up, 100% my fault, dropped my guard
Thinking about that ole Elvis tune and just had to look it uo:
Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me
I am tired and I need Thy strength and power
To guide me over my darkest hour
For just open my eyes that I may see
Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me
Lead me, guide me along the way
For if you lead me I cannot stray
Or just open my eyes that I may see
Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me
I am lost if you take your hand from me
I am blind without try light to see
Lord just always let me Thy servant be
Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me
Lead me, guide me along the way
For if you lead me I cannot stray
Lord just open my eyes that I may see
Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me
"Jesus like a Shepard lead us, lest we ever go astray"-----"Lead me---Guide me---Along the way"
Giving up personal control, at least for me, is a real bummer----but when I stop to consider the difference of Jesus in control and me in control, might toss in there the results to consider....If by some lil chance you are bull headed like me, today think on those 2 tunes throughout your day.....the 2nd one is an oldie from Elvis....Did I tell you folks I saw him the other day, pretty sure it was him, it was raining and dark outside but I really think it was Elvis......Now just for the record, that guy could make Gospel music come alive
Those Hymns help with the Christian walk----or at least helps me.
Today as many days ----"One day at a time sweet Jesus, that is all I am asking of you"----We need to think about the importance of just getting through this 1 day...I woke up in a struggle this morning, the ole devil himself wanted to control my morning, or maybe I should say my mind....He just never gives up, I know when my time comes to leave this ole world the angels will really have their hands full...Back when, me and the ole devil had a (what appeared) good time. After accepting Christ the devil left, but jus as sure as there is a heaven above and a hell below the ole devil never, not even once gave up on me....Maybe not for others ---but struggling never to waver in my Christian walk is a real challenge...
I did a fair bit of study on, body, soul & spirit---interesting to say the least....now many say soul & spirit are the same and Scripture certainly teaches so, yet Scripture also in many places separate the 2, just to kick the ole brain in gear this morning-----I have a body, in my body is a soul, which is the desire for the world---that which makes me "want" the things of the world., then also in my body is a Spirit---that which longs for my relationship with God or let's say my Spiritual side. There is a constant battle, it is like the old Indian told his grandson concerning the 2 wolves living inside of each of us, a good one and an evil one, always fighting each other---the grandson ask his grandfather, which wolf won the battle---his grandfather told him---the one you feed......think on that.....Now in us we have a soul longing for the worldly things and we have a Spirit longing for the Godly side---like the old Indian---the one who wins is the one we feed.----
May I ask my few Bible Board visitors this morning---"Why are you here this morning?" May I suggest that you tuned into the Bible Board because you are right where God wants you to be this morning.....If just one little flicker of light shines through the Bible Board this morning and touches one's heart, OH MY!!! What a joy-----much is posted and probably little registers to most----but---if just one little thing strikes home with another, if a brother or sister in Christ gains a pinch of strength, if jus a tiny thought is raised----my, my, my, what a blessing
"Blessed assurance----Jesus is mine"====Happy Week=End folks.....As Pauls always says, with a slight edit,"=====" to you saints here on the Bible Board and faithful in Jesus Christ , Grace to you & peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ..."I know we all know that we are saints, but the question is and I will ask it of myself-----will my actions today show saint-hood or will I let that image down? We are human, look how the apostles and disciples, those who walked side by side with Jesus, look at how they failed in their earthly life----being fair, the real lesson here is how they cleaned up their act and were faithful to Jesus and the Gospel all the way to their death----yet they also from time to time failed, they stumbled, slipped, they fell----then they picked themselves up, knocked off the dirt and carried on.
God Bless and you good folks have a Blest Day
only have a 12th grade education? Dat me!!!! But I do know how to spell my name , more than some college grads can do....lol.....I have often said---"man! I am sure glad that I am dumb as a rock".....Now let us look at higher education......teaches that it is ok to kill babies because a woman has a choice----Old school said you knocked up my daughter you have a responsibility to care for the kid----higher education teaches that everything done wrong is someone else"s fault---Old school taught to accept responsibility, need I go with respect, integrity,----even the old county song got it---"Mind you own business and you won't be minding mine."-----never should have gone here, SHAME___SHAME____SAHAME
This morning I woke and didn't have a tune so I ask God or told God I really needed a tune this morning and in just a moment it came----"TAKE THE NAME OF JESUS WITH YOU---TAKE IT NOW WHERE EVER YOU GO"------Then also--"Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus". For me, it really helps to start the day with one of those old tunes
God Bless you all----Friday has arrived, inspection will be at 0900 and Liberty will sound shortly there after--except for you folks who have not yet retired---your liberty will sound between 1500 and 1700----might add that as you go out and about the only vision many will have of God, Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit is "YOU"------OH YES!!! The Holy Spirit has His eye on you
not a bad day at all, if I say so myself----I'll give God an A+ and me a C-......that ain't 1/2 bad for me
The tune ended up being "OH !! I KNOW THE LORD HAS LAID HAND ON ME"
God Bless and you folks have a very good evening
EZ trip from active to excuses not to do something---rather than lazy I prefer to procrastinate, that way I have something to do tomorrow
G'Morning Bible Board folks-----jus call me the Dragg'n Wagon this morning....woke up feel'n like I put in a full, hard nights work, called put through the wringer, and all I did was sleep---go figure...anyway so thankful to up & kick'n....I am hoping that one of those good tunes hurry up and get into the ole "P" brain.....the upside is that I have an excellent attitude. Do you know & realize how important "attitude" is? We each day have the choice of carrying with us throughout the day a good, positive attitude or a sour, negative indifferent attitude----it is a choice.....let us jus suppose maybe 1 or 2 of you folks this morning are like me-----may I suggest you take just a moment, think of Psalm 50:15 and go from there as you are lead.....God is always near, it is us that drift away........
AHHHH!! there it is!! "Just to trust and obey, there is no other way"------I moving slo this morning, but, God came thru and put a tune in my heart & I thank Him----I am tell'n you-- Psalm 50:15--works for me--every time....Now each time I remember to use it, things get better and then I am rewarded by my faith getting stronger.....when we learn to believe and not question our faith grows stronger. I am speaking of the personal relationship we have with God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit....Someone tells you that a certain type of food really picks up your energy level and we run to the store and buy it & give it a try----I am tell'n you folks Psalm 50:15 works, now it is up to y'all to give it a try----you are not tempting God nor putting Him to the test-----you are trying to learn to grow your faith-----this whole thought can be twisted around to how ever one chooses to look at it-----that my friend is "attitude"-----one can look it as positive or negative
-----There is nothing negative about going to God and asking for help----There is nothing negative about say'n "help my unbelief"----there is nothing negative about seeking help in helping your faith to grow-----there is nothing negative about saying--"God I don't understand, but if you are there, could you lend me a helping hand-----My friend, if you are sinking in quick sand and someone throws you a life line, do you take ahold or sink & die?-------God Bless and have a good day
WOW!! I was wondering where you was---I was just getting ready to jump in the pickup and hit the road to Tn. and check on ya.....glad you managed to get up and around, even if is almost lunch time... and here I thought my bride was slow in the morning
"Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so, little ones to Him belong, we are weak but He is strong------Yes Jesus loves me----yes Jesus loves me---yes Jesus loves---for the Bibles tells me so-----"
41 little words in a song offers as much if not more than any preacher can say in 30 minutes
In my church we sing this song once in a blue moon, we Methodist have to sing all the newer songs, the ones no one knows-- so folks just can't make a joyful noise, but when this song is sung----the roof raises a few inches.......I think the idea is that we all know that we fall short but is sure is great to raise our voices and sing----Jesus loves me-----we may not understand why we are so loved, but, doggone it, it sure is nice to know.......God Bless & have a good day---remember your job is to share the light
"Go tell it on the Mountain, over the hills and everywhere, that Jesus Christ is born...."
Happy Tuesday folks -- I see y'all made it through Monday-----as you are out and about remember, we, the believers are to share the light........maybe it will be just one little kind word, if I listen closely I will here the Holy Spirit telling me what to do, then my job is to do. I am only called tp plant a seed or maybe sprinkle a little water on it, it is God's job to make it grow. Our smallest task may be one of God's greatest moves......
God Bless
"I am weak but Thou art strong"====Put that tune in the ole heart for today----I promise if you put a God filled tune in your heart and throughout the day you hummm that tune, whistle that tune or sing that tune your day will be better than if you walked with satan.....careful though you might tick ole satan off, but as a Christian you shouldn't give a rip. If today is the day I leave this ole world and I have a God filled tune on the ole "P" brain, wow, can you imagine entering heaven with--"OH what a day that will be" or "when the roll is called up yonder".......some one checking out this board this morning may think I have stripped a gear or 2----but suppose you are called out of this world today, do you want to leave with a happy tune, a sinful tune, a sad, heavy, hateful heart.......Now that I am older I check the Obits in the paper almost each morning, I suppose to just see if I am still alive or not....You know death does not know age, sex, color, education level, $$$$$ worth,----death only takes the living and we just don't know when.....which brings the question to me at 75, am I ready.....My dad always told me he was ready but he was not going to rush it. Today just might be the day to do a little self-examination and talk it over with Jesus Christ, seeing as how he da Man with the keys----Not preaching to anyone here, not judging anyone either, just suggesting you take a moment and ask yourself a few questions concerning your eternity-----that is a very long time
MY! MY! MY Happy Monday already----where did the week-end go, I swear, the older I get the faster time goes.....makes me realize that anyway that I don't do much is a day totally wasted...OH WELL, God is good and God certainly has a plan. I look back over my young adult years and several of the more adult years and I can never begin to imagine why God loved me enough to offer His salvation to me. Which raises the question, do I have enough forgiveness in me to do the same for others----
God Bless and may His light so shine upon you all through out this upcoming week.....share the light
