The Greatest Price Paid.....How much would you pay ?

Good day once again all……I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I know that I am even though the hip is pretty sore but I know that God has this all in His hands. The price one pays when they slide through oil. Speaking of prices paid that is the topic for today’s blog…..price…..how much would you give or how much would you pay for something……including your life? I want you to stop a moment and think of the most expensive item you bought just for yourself. Now this does not include things such as houses, cars, or the things we have to truly have to live. I am talking about something that would truly be considered a luxury in today’s society, for example….a laptop, a kindle, or even say an iPod. How much would you be willing to put forth to purchase something? Think about that as you continue to read the blog.

Jesus: The head miracle worker.....do miracle worker's still exist and could one of them be you ?

Well all.....here we go once more as I am going to try this again. I had one all most ready to post and wouldn't you know it, Satan is mad and wiped out ALL of the blog. I am NOT going to let that stop this blog as I feel it is very important. I especially feel it is very important soon as how today as I was preparing it I had or was going one way and it truly flipped around as I knew God had directed me to where I was supposed to go. I therefore begin this blog with having you think about this....Jesus was known as the head miracle worker BUT is it possible for miracle workers to still exist and could we ( meaning you and I) be that miracle worker ? Let’s take a better and closer look at this topic and consider your answer to this particular question.

Miracles......a word that ... Read more »

Day of rest

Hey all.... Today has been a bit of a trying. Had to be up by 8:30 as I had a phone conference meeting and then other things went on as I am now very tired and worn out. God tells us that if our bodies are tired and weary we are to rest and so I must say that after all that has happened, it is definitely a day for rest. I will be back tomorrow with yet another blog (even though I have been told I can't write...lol.). Well, everyone have a great night and I look forward, Good Lord willing, to come back with another blog. Don't forget if you want me to speak to your church,school,group, or organization or a copy of the book, all the info is on the main page. This also includes newer links to boookstores online where you can find copies of the book. Take care all and God Bless-

In Christ-

What do love standing up for ....Are you ashamed to share your faith ?

Greetings once again all. I hope everyone has had a wonderful day. Today was busy for us here as we had to do some running and then went to Waffle House for dinner. A great meal but very filling as I now feel like a beached whale...lol. Seriously though it was delicious and even got to discuss God with the waitress...such a blessing. The blog today actually came from that and an incident that happened to a friend of mine at her job today,so I am asking this question for you all to think about as you read. What is it that you love standing up for ? Are you ashamed to share your faith ?

In today's society many Christians go about saying they are BUT when it comes to the situation of standing up for it, they seem to go "cold or lukewarm" about their faith. Why is that the case ? Now on some things I understand for example the situation my friend ... Read more »

We are all human .... Exactly how worthy do you think you are ?

Good day all! Well , after much prayer and deep searching God has brought the topic for today. As I read through scripture I was more humbled than anyone could ever imagine. The topic of today's blog deals with this question I have to each and everyone of you....How worthy do you think you are ?

Society today tends to place people high and "holy" upon a throne because of who they. Famous people are recognized by name and what they have done in society. Now please don't get me wrong I have my favorites and some more than others. The problem however in society today is that many forget these men and women are human to. In other words, they eat, drink, sleep, and breath just as you and I do.They laugh when they are happy, they cry when they are sad or upset,they get angry when they are mad, ... Read more »

The Great Commission......How excited are you ?

Greetings to you all! After much spiritual arguments and with friends and family stepping in lifting me up in prayer, God made me see that I needed to get a blog in for today. The more I prayed and thought about what to write, the more I finally decided on the topic of excitement and telling of the love of Christ. So while you are reading this, please thing of the excitement you carry and whether you are truly fulfilling the Great Commission.

In today's world we tend to become excited over many different things.....actors/actresses, musicians, the latest technology, but when it comes to being a Christian, the one thing I have truly noticed is how the excitement for all of that comes easily and boldly but when it comes to telling of our faith and of Christ and His love for us, we truly can not show that excitement. I admit that I am just as bad on this issue ... Read more »

Servitude with Attitude....What have you done nice for someone

Greetings to all of you. It is another beautiful day in which God has given to us. As I was praying about the topic for today I was taken back to one particular scripture. I remember one of my former minister's talking about servitude with attitude and how our attitudes reflect when we do things for others. As each of you are reading this blog, I want you to take a moment and decide where it is your attitude lies in being one of God's servants.

In today's world many people feel that the real existence of being kind to your neighbor no longer exists. We are all always on the go, we never have time to help each other,nor do we have time to say a kind word to someone who might need it. We are a nation today that tends to forgo any and all gestures of being polite in any manner. We feel instead that people "owe" us as that is how the world ... Read more »

Have you stopped bleeding....Proof God has touched you

Good morning to one and all. Yep, I am actually up at the crack of dawn this morning and getting a jump on the blog.Even though it looks a little cloudy and gloomy here today it is still a blessed morning and day as God has once again given us another breath of life. As I prepared to begin today's blog I kept thinking on an old hymn that really touches my heart,so the topic for the blog today is about proof that God has truly touched you.

Pain and hurt in today's world is all we hear or think about......whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. For example, if we are physically sick and doctor's don't want to help us then we have to fight to keep going or when someone hurts us or they are mean to us, all we can do is hold grudges and be upset over it. When we do this it is like we are re-opening wounds that have been closed and allowing them to ble ... Read more »

God's way is not our way

Hello again everyone. I hope your day has been a good one. Things here once again has been a struggle but because of God we are making it through. After some things taking place today the normal question hit me of "why". The answer I ended up with has been that its God's way not ours. So what do I mean by this ? Well let's take a closer look.

When I was reminded that it was God's way not our's , I was reminded of it when I heard the song "Four days late"

by Karen Peck and New River. Many times in life we have issues take hold that we feel God should take immediately and fix. The fact of the matter is that God 's way to do things is not our way of doing things. The story of the death of Lazarus found in John 11 is a perfect example. Lazarus is sick and dies yet Jesus has been told about it. When He arrives of course Marth ... Read more »
