21 May 09 Living Black and White

We are living in a society that lives life in the gray. In Revelations, God speaks about the church that is neither hot nor cold. It would be better for us to be hot or cold then to live in the gray area of life. Does mean we have to be perfect? No! But does mean that when we say we are Christian then are actions should line up with our words. Too many times it is just the opposite, we say one thing and live another. The world needs us to be REAL! Real in action and in deed. God forgive me if I in anyway have been live in the gray. It is my desire to emulate Christ. I want to encourage everyone to live life in a manner that the world will step back and say “WOW, he or she is different.”
Sue and I love all of you!!

06 May 09 Could it be?

Could it be that I am blogging? That is for those of you who keep me on my toes. And I thank you for that.
But seriously, have you ever wondered: could it be God that lets all the things happen around us that hurt so bad. That is the question I have been asking God and He continues to tell me that ALL things work for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). God’s word doesn’t say some things but in ALL things. It is easy to trust and thank God when things are going smooth but not so easy when things are bumpy and life is throwing us curves balls. I was encouraged this morning when I remembered this verse in Romans and began to thank God for everything that is going on.
I would like to encourage everyone today to say YES it could be that God is allowing things to happen but I thank God because there is a Blessing coming my way soon.

Sue and I LOVE all of you.
