Kennedy was celebrated Saturday for "the good he did, the dream he kept alive,"
.many of us forget about the interconnectedness of life.

the choices that I made twenty years ago have helped to
bring me to the point that I am today..and to the choice
I am about to make. ... where will this latest choice
land me?

Steps are what make up the journey.
The steps of people are ORDERED...by who?

<< Psalm 37:23 >> * << Proverbs 16:9 >> * << Jeremiah 10:23 >>



Enoch..walked....with God...


step by step
move by move


choice by choice


.....and was not !!

We miss jack and bobby and now teddy.
Indeed, Ted was the "Happy Warrior" that the poet William Wordsworth spoke of when he wrote:As tempted more; more able to endure,As more exposed to suffering and distress;Thence, also, more alive to tenderness. - Barak Obama <-click for FULL TEXT



The human will is the hardest thing to control.
no wonder the Lord said
IF any two agree....it is difficult !!!

AMALEK - a relative of Esau
the preacher a few weaks ago was talking about king
Saul and how he committed suicide.
I was wondering what were the choices he was making
along the way that led up to that point.

so I started checking the entiire book of samuel
the startling thing that I noticed was how often
the phrase THE PEOPLE came up.

what was it that made him not totally destroy the amalekites
as he was tasked to do.

well, it is the same problem that every leader has.
wether you are the leader of a family or a platoon of soldiers
or a classroom of children or the leader of the senate
banking committee.


you will be required to make unpopular choices
will you choose based on what you know to be right
or will you allow your choice to be influenced by
THE PEOPLE you are responsible to lead.

Joshua is another leader that comes to mind
He was told to carry out a rather STUPID plan.
He made the people do it....march around in a circle
for 7 days. Abraham was about to murder his son
claiming that God told him to do it...I dont think
that would have gone over too well with his wife if
she had the choice. Daniel chose to face the Lions
knowing full well of the bloody possibilities.


How about you?
have your choices been.....people pleasing, rational,
pleasnt options...have you backed away from
the tough right choices?

Standing by a purpose true,
Heeding God's command,
Honor them, the faithful few!
All hail to Daniel's band!

Refrain

Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known.

Many mighty men are lost
Daring not to stand,
Who for God had been a host
By joining Daniel's band.

Refrain

Many giants, great and tall,
Stalking through the land,
Headlong to the earth would fall,
If met by Daniel's band.

Refrain

Hold the Gospel banner high!
On to vict'ry grand!
Satan and his hosts defy,
And shout for Daniel's band.
