GREAT IS THE LORD WHO GOES BEFORE US

The Lord is my light and my salvation —
whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strong
hold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?
( Psalms 27:1 *NIV )


Dear  Friend,
Do not let the events of the World today, or the in the future,
cause you any fear. For it is written; The Lord Himself
goes before you and will be with you; He will never
leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not
be discouraged." ( Deuteronomy 31:8 )

After all, If you make the Most High your dwelling
even the Lord, who is my refuge then no harm will
befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
For He will command His angels concerning you to
guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in
their hands, so that you will not strike your foot
against a stone. ( Psalms 91:9-12 )


Therefore, when you lie down, you will not be
afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
For; The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.
( Proverbs 3:25,33 )

So , Be strong and courageous. Do not
be afraid or terrified because of them, for the
Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave
you nor forsake you." Amen.
( Deuteronomy 31:6 )

Let us remember this Holiday Season, God  sent His Son as a
Babe, so that we could be reconciled back to God when Jesus
died on the Cross and bore all of our sins on His shoulders.   So,
as we celebrate this Christmas Season, don't forget the true meanng
of Christmas and what it truly means to all people.  Give of yourself,
as Christ gave for us all.

Merry Christmas

http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/44300/




GLENN: I want to tell you, and a little later I'm going to get into the full details about the Hindenburg Omen. The Hindenburg Omen, that doesn't sound good. It happened on Friday and it's, it's an economic thing, says that there's a 77% chance of a crash coming our way in the next 40 days. There's trouble in the Middle East. Unemployment now is at the highest I think it's ever been for those who are 16 to 24 years old. We're talking now a lost generation. There's the beginnings of civil unrest. The debt is unsustainable. The debt is so large now that next year we could have people say, I'm not going to buy your debt anymore, I don't believe America is serious. We have problems on our border that now include Hezbollah. We have a sheriff down on our border who says we've got to abandon this town. We have to abandon an American town! And yet, the president does nothing. We have enemies within the gates. We have an attack on capitalism. There's a billboard in Phoenix, Arizona, that says we don't have a legal problem; we have a capitalism problem: We have attack on freedom. We have attack on our own energy sources. You talk to anybody in the oil industry, in Houston, in the climate summit gulf, anybody, and they will tell you there's no new drilling permits even being issued. Our military is stretched too thin and our religion is under attack. Now, you tell me is an election going to solve these problems? Do you really think getting the Republicans to take over the House is the answer to solve these problems? Maybe it delays some of it and it's important, but is that the answer? I don't know how anyone can say yes. I don't know how anybody can say, well, by not enforcing the laws, by making sure that we bail out all of the states, that we give our union buddies all of these extra favors, by going into more socialism, by going into more debt that that is the solution. There's only one solution, only one. One. And if we don't turn to him pretty soon, we're in trouble. They have told people on the steps of the Supreme Court that they cannot pray there. They have told students on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial they can't sing the National Anthem there. And last week I was told by the Kennedy Center that we could not pray there. We were told by the Kennedy Center in no uncertain terms that we could hold our event there, sure we had a contract. But they weren't told that we were going to have an opening prayer. The program is has the word divine in it, our divine destiny. We couldn't pray at the Kennedy Center. So my attorneys came to me and said, Glenn, are you willing to compromise on it? And I said, I sure am. You tell them that not only will I do an opening prayer, I'll do a closing prayer, and the entire program may be a prayer. In fact, take this down. It is a night of prayer. You'll see if you are lucky enough to get a ticket to the Kennedy Center, and they are not for sale. You will see in the program how I described it. I described it that way. So they could print that in their program at the Kennedy Center which they insisted on having after they told us we couldn't pray. I said, let me dictate this one. Friday night I was supposed to have a meeting today at 1:00 with their attorneys and I had already talked to my attorneys. Zero compromise. We asked them, where is that in your I didn't see that in your rules and regulations. "It's not written down." No prayer at a federally funded building.
Friday night I think they got a hold of Common Sense. They alerted me Friday night that they will allow prayer to happen on the stage of the Kennedy Center. I told them, thank you so much for your graciousness. I appreciate the scrap from the table. America, our religion and our faith is under attack and whether people care to realize it or not, it is. I went down to West Palm on Friday and I had some meetings with these very wealthy individuals and I asked them for their support of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Now, I don't need any more I don't need any more money to be able to cover the cost for this event. It's been paid for. I think it's been paid for in double, at least where it stands right now. This is for the this is for the guys who are fighting and dying for us. The Special Operations Warrior Foundation, this started on the trip over to Iran during the Iranian hostage crisis. And the guys on the helicopter all looked at each other, all special forces, they looked at each other and said, if you die, I'll take care of your family; if I die, will you take care of mine. And they promised each other that, yes, they would. Well, the helicopters blew up in the desert and we lost good men trying to save American citizens from a theocracy, one that is still in existence and stoning people because they're homosexual.

We have now 500 families to take care of, and the number is growing every day, 500 families. This particular organization, they take care of their schooling. They call them on their birthdays. If there's a problem with one of them in school, they could be in the fourth grade and they lost their dad. One of their brothers that was part of the force where Dad was lost gets onto a plane and flies into town and finds out from the son what's going on, what's happening to your grades. These guys honor their commitment.



So I was sitting having dinner with a group of wealthy individuals and I asked them, can you write a check? And many of them did. When I got onto the plane, I asked also what had come in during the week and Joe was there on the plane with me and he said, well, Glenn, a TV viewer just out of the blue just wrote us a check, and I want to show it to you. Here's a check for $25,000, just from a, just a viewer that just said, I want to write a check. $25,000, from their personal account. And he was going on and on about all these people who are starting to step to the plate. I said, what else did we get? And he said, well, we also got a letter in and the person said, I can't make it because I can't afford to come, but I believe in our special forces and I believe in what you're doing. And honor is the key. I wish I could come, but I can't but I wanted to show my support and this is all I could afford. In the envelope was a baggy, and this is not from a child. 8 cents, 8 pennies. I've tried to get my arms around someone as they went into their change drawer and all they had were eight pennies. I tried to get my arms around somebody who then went to the kitchen and put it in a Ziploc baggy, a used one, and then put it in an envelope. I'm replacing those eight pennies myself and I'm keeping these eight cents and putting them in my pocket as a reminder. I don't know. I remember filling up my gas tank and having to count it out in change. I remember the days that, you know, my kids didn't think that my gas tank held more than $5.27. This to me is the epitome of our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. Have you is there anything in your life that you would give it all? Is there anything to you that is so important to you that you would go into your change drawer and count out your last eight pennies and mail them? I ask you this isn't for 8/28 because like I said, it's all paid for. This is for the guys who gave their last full measure of life for the freedom that we have taken for granted, gave their last full measure of life for the things that we didn't realize how fragile they were. Would you do me the honor of presenting the Special Operations Warrior Foundation on 8/28 with a very large check, even if it comes in 8 cents at a time. Would you go to GlennBeck.com/828. If you haven't made a donation, these are the last two weeks. Even if it's $1, $10, $25,000 or your last 8 cents. GlennBeck.com/828 for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.


GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

Trip to the Mountains


We went up to the mountains while my daughter was here from Florida.  It was so beautiful and guess what?  It was cool and so nice.  We had a great time.  Just wanted to share some pictures of what we saw and of course some of my grandkids. Which are 17 and 19.  It was wonderful spending time with all of them.

This picture is a landscape looking down on the valley.

We found this place and I'm not even sure I know the name of it, but boy did I come to life  when I saw these primitive buildings and railings.  It took me way back to  some of the things I read about in my books about the wagons and primitive life in the mountains. 








The girls are hugging the scare crow.  They had a small garden and I never saw so many butterflies.  My son-in-law who is a photographer took some of the most beautiful pictures of the butterflies around the flowers, also, some of the bees.  When I get a copy I will share them with you.












The girls feeding the chickens.



Well, these are a few but it was great.  The primitive living just gave me a spoonfull of medicine sort of to speak.  It was really nice to think back to this time of our history.  I bought a book that I will post later and that talks about the mountain living.  We do not realize how much these pioneers went through and how much they had to do to take care of themselves and there families.  Enjoy your time back in time.

HOT DAYS ARE HERE, PLEASE HURRY AND GET COLD AGAIN


This is the temperature today, boy is it ever hot, hot, hot.  All that complaining that I did about cold winter and rain, rain and more rain, please forgive me Dear Lord.  I would take that kind of weather back in a minute.  It has been so hot and no rain now going on 2 months, but today is the hottest, I'm almost sure we broke a record.  The thermoter is on the back of my window in the kitchen which is in the rear of the house.  The sun was not on it either.  Well, maybe we will get some relief real soon.  Hope you can stay cool.  Inside is where I have been for a week now.  The walls are looking good.  I'm trying to be thankful for this hot weather, our God knows what we need more than I.  So I'm going to praise Him for it and still stay inside.
My grandchildren are here from Colorado and I enjoyed them on Friday.  Will post some pictures later of them.  They sure have grown up.  Well have a good hot evening.  Take care until we meet again.

FUNNY.......YET SAD,,,,,54 YEARS AGO

Funny......yet sad...54 years ago....





Comments made in the year 1955!

That's only 54 years ago!





'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $10.00.



'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $1, 000.00 will only buy a used one.



'If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. 20 cents a pack is ridiculous.

'If they raise the minimum wage to $1..00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.



'When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.



'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.



'I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down inTexas .

I am NOT ASHAMED. Stand up for CHRIST

Corpus Christi




Isn't it peculiar that Muslims rant and rave over objectionable material concerning Mohammed and everyone from government to schools, the press and libraries bend over backwards to satisfy their demands. Yet, when someone blasphemes Christ there is no uproar. Perhaps this is the fault of those who proclaim to be Christian and say nothing.






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------






Going beyond disrespect...






The movie " Corpus Christi " is due to be released this June to August. A


disgusting film set to appear in America later this year depicts Jesus and


his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in


theatres for a while. It's called " Corpus Christi " which means "The


Body of Christ". It's revolting mockery of our Lord. But we can make a


difference.


That's why I am sending this posting  so that we can get the word out .  Please 

spread the word about this terrible mockery that is being done about  our Lord and 

Savior.  Send emails, talk about it on facebook, lets do whatever we need to stop this,


we just might be able to prevent this film from showing in


America . Let's stand for what we believe in and stop the mockery of


Jesus Christ our Savior. Where do we stand as Christians? At the risk of


a bit of inconvenience, I'm  posting so that all can see what we need to do to try to prevent such offenses against our Lord.


There is no petition to sign, no time limit, or minimum number of


people to send this to.. It will take you less than 2 minutes! If you


are not interested and do not have the 2 minutes it will take to do this,


please don't complain when God does not have time for


you because He is far busier than we are. Hey, it's worth a shot!


Apparently, some regions in Europe have already banned the film. All we


need is a lot of prayer and a lot of e-mails.



JUST GET THE WORD OUT







If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.


-2 Chronicles 7:14

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Just wanted to wish everyone a great July 4th weekend. I know we will all be busy doing something exciting. But I just wanted to remind everyone lets remember what this great holiday is all about. Our Independence from England, the starting of one of the greatest country God ever established. When we think about out  heritage, it should give us chills, because of our founding fathers who were willing to take the risk against the King of England so we could have our liberities that we have today. Like those founding fathers we need to be willing to stand up against the things that are happening today. Our Congressmen and our President do not want to abide by the very Constitution they swore to uphold with there hand on the Bible. So lets remember these things and stand up to the plate for the sake of our Great Country, the United States of America.  I would also like to salute all the men and women who serve our country faithfully thorought the world because if it wasn't for these men and women, we would not be able to defend the great Country of ours.  Also, I want to thank all family memebers who have to make scarfices while there family members are away serving the great call of defending the United States of America.  Here is a big
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SCRAFICES

After you have given your prays and thoughts of this great country, then go out and have fun with your family and friends.  Here is a great thought for relaxing and enjoy the great beauty that God gave us. 
 Have a great 4th of July.

Happy Father's Day!





It Is Written:

"Honor your father and your mother,
so that you may live long in the land
the Lord your God is giving you."
( Exodus 20:12 *NIV )


 Today being a day to honor our father's, we began the message
with the Fifth Commandment. This Commandment is the first one
with a promise attached to it!

So as we enjoy this day with our earthly father, let us not forget
our Heavenly Father as well, for after all; Have we not all one
Father? Did He not create us? ( Malachi 2:10 )

Therefore on this day I would like to share the following poem
with you. A poem dedicated to our Heavenly Father!


Never Alone!

He can calm the troubled waters
When you walk in dark despair.
There is hope when you feel helpless
Knowing that the Lord is there...

Sharing in your sunshine moments
Or in valleys deep and wide,
He is always by your side.

There's no other friend so faithful
Through the sunshine and rain,
Through the teardrops and the laughter,
In your joy and in your pain.

We could never, ever thank Him
For His love He gives so free,
Never changing...never ending
Throughout all eternity.

Oh, the wonder of all wonders
As we live from day to day,
Knowing that we have a Father
Who is with us all the way.
          Poet, Gertrude B. McClain



So to Dad's everywhere, Grace and peace to you from
God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ,
on this your day and throughout the year, and may God Richly
Bless You as well! Amen. ( Romans 1:7 )

Be Thankful for all Your Blessings

God Bless the Little Ones Who Remind Us of our Great Country

I was sent this email and wanted to share with everyone.  Please take the time to listen to this.  We are still a great country and these little ones are singing about it.


http://Subject: Grateful third graders




After all the bad press over a few teachers who stepped

out of line teaching songs to our children, this one is one

you will be so proud to hear.

At the end of the song you can order the sheet music.

Awesome. I hope this sweeps our country and gets sung in

all our schools. The music teacher wrote the song and had all

the third graders sing. Enjoy -- great message.

Also, on this day as we remember these scarifices that we take the time to follow what is happening in our great Country of America.

So I beg you as Americans to learn history and see how far away from the Constitution we have fallen. Lets not just sat by and see our country change into something where we might not have the freedoms that so many have fought for. for so many years.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Decoration Day/Memorial Day Thinking of the Past



As we prepare for Memorial weekend, I thought, How did the start of Memorial Day begin. I knew it was to Honor the Fallen Heroes that had fought in the wars. So I decided to do a little search and I found this information and so I decided to share it with everyone. We sometimes forget the meaning of our Holidays and just take everything for granded. I know I have. So let me share some History with you about Memorial Day and lets try as a Nation to remember the scarfices that were made for the freedom of our country. But lets also remember the ones that have been hurt and wounded all these years too. Memorial Day Honors those that have payed the ultimate price with their lifebut there are many who are wounded that have paid a price for there service for many years. Also, lets please remember the men and women who are right now serving and making more scarfices so that our country can be free. Please remember the families too.
                                                                   
Memorial Day History
Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.

The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.

The ceremonies centered around the mourning-draped veranda of the Arlington mansion, once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Various Washington officials, including Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, presided over the ceremonies. After speeches, children from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphan Home and members of the GAR made their way through the cemetery, strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate graves, reciting prayers and singing hymns.

Local Observances Claim To Be First Local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well.

Today, cities in the North and the South claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried.

Official Birthplace Declared In 1966, Congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y., the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. There, a ceremony on May 5, 1866, honored local veterans who had fought in the Civil War. Businesses closed and residents flew flags at half-staff. Supporters of Waterloo’s claim say earlier observances in other places were either informal, not community-wide or one-time events.

By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities.

It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May, as were some other federal holidays.

Some States Have Confederate Observances Many Southern states also have their own days for honoring the Confederate dead. Mississippi celebrates Confederate Memorial Day on the last Monday of April, Alabama on the fourth Monday of April, and Georgia on April 26. North and South Carolina observe it on May 10, Louisiana on June 3 and Tennessee calls that date Confederate Decoration Day. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day January 19 and Virginia calls the last Monday in May Confederate Memorial Day.

Gen. Logan’s order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 “with the choicest flowers of springtime” urged: “We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.”

The crowd attending the first Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery was approximately the same size as those that attend today’s observance, about 5,000 people. Then, as now, small American flags were placed on each grave — a tradition followed at many national cemeteries today. In recent years, the custom has grown in many families to decorate the graves of all departed loved ones.

The origins of special services to honor those who die in war can be found in antiquity. The Athenian leader Pericles offered a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Peloponnesian War over 24 centuries ago that could be applied today to the 1.1 million Americans who have died in the nation’s wars: “Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.”

To ensure the sacrifices of America ’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law “The National Moment of Remembrance Act,” P.L. 106-579, creating the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. The commission’s charter is to “encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom and opportunity” by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial Day and the National Moment of Remembrance.

The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”

Good Afternoon Here in Blogland

Well its cloudy and looks like it is going to rain like cats and dogs real soon here in Virginia.  I sure hope it is sunny and pretty wherever you are.  Summer is almost here, I can't wait.  Althought I really do not like hot weather.  I wish we could just have spring,  fall and winter.  But God didn't design it that way so I guesss I will have to take the bad with the good.  And you know that is sometimes hard for us to do. 

We expect everything to be perfect in our lives and they are not.  But God is there for us no matter what.  The picture of the Footprints in the Sand displays that, when things are tuff and we can hardly put one foot before the other, our Lord and Savior is really caring us through until we can stand in the sand and make our way.  He's always there to help us through the tuff times, if we will just turn to Him.  God is good all the time even in the bad times because He gives us the peace that passes all understanding.  So if your going through a tough time remember Jesus is there, you just have to call on his name. Sometimes He just know what we need to prevail.  So take stock of where you stand with Jesus, He's the only Way. 

Now have a great day and come back to see us real soon.

 ACLU vs. US Marines




THIS NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE USA MANY TIMES SO KEEP IT GOING


What's wrong with this picture?






If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're praying


This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the birthday of the corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. "These are federal employees," says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU, "on federal property and on federal time..


For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately."






When asked about the ACLU's charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Corps said (cleaned up a bit), "Screw the ACLU." GOD Bless Our Warriors. Send the ACLU to France !






Please send this to people you know so everyone will know how stupid the ACLU is getting in trying to remove GOD from everything and every place in America May God Bless America , One Nation Under GOD!


What's wrong with the picture? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING


GOD BLESS YOU FOR


PASSING IT ON! I am sorry but I am not breaking this one....Let us pray






Prayer chain for our Military...please don't break it


THIS NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE USA MANY TIMES SO KEEP IT GOING

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRAVIS, MY SON


I just wanted to tell you about someone very special to my heart. He is up in Heaven now with Jesus, but he is still remembered all the time, but especially today it would have been his birthday of 43 years. I think back on the day he was born, I have such great memories of that little man as he grew up to be a big man. He was over 6 feet and weighed over 300 lbs. He had a beard that was so becoming to him. He played football in little league, but never played in High School, which he regretted so much. He had a beautiful family that he would be so proud of them now and how they have managed since his death. I’m so grateful to God that He let me have my son for the 30 years for the time he was here on earth but most of all I’m so glad that God choose me to be his mother. He was a fine young man. His co-workers called him the gentle giant.  I wish him a very Happy Birthday in Heaven and I hope all the angels are singing to him.


Love Mom

Here's a chuckle for today.  But it isn't really.  Its so sad when everyone wants to use the racism.  We need to secure out borders.  I want the immagrants to come o America but lets do it right.    Let's secure our borders and then people can come into our country legally for citizenship.  Have a great day.

Let's please remember that May 6 is the National Day of Prayer.  I truly feel we need to being praying for our Country, President and for all who are in power over us.  I do not agree with alot of what Obama is doing to our great country but God tells us that we are to pray for our leaders who have power over us.  I pray that we will all stop and pray for our country because one day we might not be able to pray or go to church.  I beg of everyone to realize how much our freedoms are on attack.  Here's hoping everyone has a beautiful day.

CELEBRATING FREEDOM


I just wanted to remind everyone that we need to be praying for our troops.  We also need to remember there families as there love ones fight to protect the freedoms of this great country.  Please remember the fallin heros who gave all for the freedom of this country.  We need to stand up to all that try to transform this country into a socialist state like Europe.  Remember the Flounding Fathers were for the independence of individual rights and freedom for the poor, down trodden and the rich even.  So take time to remember the fallen heros and   why the scarifices were made for the freedom we all share today.  Then I beg you to read History and find out what this country was really founded for.  Please don't take our freedoms for granted.

Wanted to Share this with All.

I received this morning from a christian friend and just fell like I needed to share this with everyone.


This is truly the way we are to love our fellow man and help them to come to know our Lord and Savior. God is Good.

Now this is The Living Bible:



His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans, and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for his entire four years of college.

He is brilliant. Kind of profound and very, very bright. He became a Christian while attending college.

Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, very conservative church. They want to develop a ministry to the students but are not sure how to go about it.

One day Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, jeans, his T-shirt, and wild hair. The service has already started and so Bill starts down the aisle looking for a seat.

The church is completely packed and he can't find a seat. By now, people are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says anything.

Bill gets closer and closer and closer to the pulpit, and when he realizes there are no seats, he just squats down right on the carpet.

By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in the air is thick.

About this time, the minister realizes that from way at the back of the church, a deacon is slowly making his way toward Bill.

Now the deacon is in his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and a three-piece suit. A godly man, very elegant, very dignified, very courtly. He walks with a cane and, as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone is saying to themselves that you can't blame him for what he's going to do.

How can you expect a man of his age and of his background to understand some college kid on the floor?

It takes a long time for the man to reach the boy.

The church is utterly silent except for the clicking of the man's cane. All eyes are focused on him. You can't even hear anyone breathing. The minister can't even preach the sermon until the deacon does what he has to do.

And now they see this elderly man drop his cane on the floor. With great difficulty, he lowers himself and sits down next to Bill and worships with him so he won't be alone.

Everyone chokes up with emotion.

When the minister gains control, he says, "What I'm about to preach, you will never remember. What you have just seen, you will never forget. Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some people will ever read!"

I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today.
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way....
His love is always with you,
His promises are true,
And when we give Him all our cares,
You know He will see us through.

Only if you feel led to, pass this to
People you want God to Bless.
