dazzle

THE REALITY O let me feel Thee near me The world is ever near I see the sights that dazzle The tempting sounds I hear now I desparately pray... I know He answers, already calling my attention away.... THE PRAYER O guide me call me draw me uphold me to the end and then in heaven receive me my Saviour my friend AMEN today this song came back to mind from across the years.... ..it was a morning devotion song at Wolmers HEAR IT HERE TODAY I looked in the MIRROR.... I did not like what I saw ..... he is like a person who looks at his face in a mirror, 24 studies his features, goes away, and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 However, the person who continues to study God's perfect teachings that make people free and who remains committed to them will be blessed. People like that don't merely listen and forget; they actually do what God's teachings say.<< James 1:23 >>

Did YOU look in THE MIRROR today?

UNWILLING

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: Conflict is a contest of wills. It first started when we learned to say no.... and some of us become chronic objectors..... our first impulse is to resist. ++++++++++++++++++ I first suspected that I might be a rebel when in the 9th grade I began to feel an attraction to the man FALSTAFF. ++++++++++++++++++ Sir John Falstaff is a fictional character who appears in three plays by William Shakespeare as a companion to Prince Hal, the future King Henry V. A fat, vainglorious, and cowardly knight, Falstaff leads the apparently wayward Prince Hal into trouble, but he is ultimately repudiated after Hal becomes king. Falstaff is a central element in the two parts of Henry IV, a natural portion of their structure. Yet he does at times seem to be mainly a fun-maker, a character whom we both laugh with and laugh at, and almost in the same breath. What makes portly Sir John so entertaining? How is it, when his actions would repulse many in both a modern and medieval context, we find ourselves so attracted to this lying tub of lard? - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ++++++++++++++++++ ...but, as time goes by we may become more refined in our rebellion or objections. Conscientious objectors.... objecting for a cause...... if these tendencies are not soon corrected we could grow old and become just outright contentious ...or  when trying to put it in a "good" light we will say that we are just a bit competitive. and the final stages of this disorder... they say we are cantankerous 1. Ill-tempered and quarrelsome; disagreeable: (dictionary.com) 2. difficult or irritating to deal with (Mirriam-Webster online) ++++++++++++++++++ << James 4 >> 1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Aren't they caused by the selfish desires that fight to control you? 2 You want what you don't have, so you commit murder. You're determined to have things, but you can't get what you want. You quarrel and fight. You don't have the things you want, because you don't pray for them. 3 When you pray for things, you don't get them because you want them for the wrong reason-for your own pleasure. 4 You unfaithful people! Don't you know that love for this evil world is hatred toward God? Whoever wants to be a friend of this world is an enemy of God. 5 Do you think this passage means nothing? It says, "The Spirit that lives in us wants us to be his own." 6 But God shows us even more kindness. Scripture says, "God opposes arrogant people, but he is kind to humble people." 7 So place yourselves under God's authority. Resist the devil, and he will run away from you. 8 Come close to God, and he will come close to you. Clean up your lives, you sinners, and clear your minds, you doubters. 9 Be miserable, mourn, and cry. Turn your laughter into mourning and your joy into gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the Lord's presence. Then he will give you a high position. << Matthew 5 >> 39 But I tell you not to oppose an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn your other cheek to him as well. 40 If someone wants to sue you in order to take your shirt, let him have your coat too. 41 If someone forces you to go one mile, go two miles with him. 42 Give to everyone who asks you for something. Don't turn anyone away who wants to borrow something from you. 43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you this: Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you. 45 In this way you show that you are children of your Father in heaven. He makes his sun rise on people whether they are good or evil. He lets rain fall on them whether they are just or unjust. 46 If you love those who love you, do you deserve a reward? Even the tax collectors do that! 47 Are you doing anything remarkable if you welcome only your friends? Everyone does that! 48 That is why you must be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. Don't Do Good Works to Be Praised by People

Free to choose

Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to give me my share of the inheritance that our father left us." 14 Jesus said to him, "Who appointed me to be your judge or to divide your inheritance?" 15 He told the people, "Be careful to guard yourselves from every kind of greed. Life is not about having a lot of material possessions." 16 Then he used this illustration. He said, "A rich man had land that produced good crops. 17 He thought, 'What should I do? I don't have enough room to store my crops.' 18 He said, 'I know what I'll do. I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones so that I can store all my grain and goods in them. 19 Then I'll say to myself, "You've stored up a lot of good things for years to come. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself."' 20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! I will demand your life from you tonight! Now who will get what you've accumulated?' 21 That's how it is when a person has material riches but is not rich in his relationship with God." Luke 12:13-21

P.S...this teaching from Jesus came to me after I was listening
to a very good friend tell about his plans to find a nice younger woman
to marry maybe...but at least to live with. My friend is over 50 and like
myself had made some bad choices earlier in life. He had separated from his wife.
He had a son with another woman with whom he was now living in what
seemed like much misery.....and he was thinking seriously about finding
and "settling down with a younger woman"

principles for living

If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress......Barack Obama ========================== 1 Kings 15:11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. 12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron. ========================== 1 Samuel 12:14  If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God: 15 But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers. 16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.

Funerals

Why does the preist / pastor always say at the funeral that humans are born for trouble?   I do beleive that people tend not to bother with "the GOD  stuff" until they are really in trouble.   so my attitude these days is if there is no trouble I get a bit nervous.... if you know what I mean.   I need God so badly. If you think you can figure it all out, you are making a mistake.   We all like to start these projects on our own, and we inevitebly get "stuck".   Why not include God RIGHT FROM THE START.   In all thy ways acknowledge HIM HE will direct your path.   DOU YOU REALLY BELEIVE THAT ? try it.. and remember.... THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH !!!

The Need for Accountability As sinners in a fallen world, we must admit that our lives always need improvement. I often feel like Paul-- "I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do-- this I keep on doing" (Romans 7:18-19). This is one reason for discipleship. We need others to help us along the road! Close one-on-one fellowship with another believer provides a special kind of accountability that is crucial to deep growth in your spiritual walk. Women's Discipleship Team :) Location: West Palm Beach, ****** * "On November 7, my father will celebrate his 91st birthday. If you or someone in your family came to know Jesus Christ through his ministry, please share that with him. We want to continue to bless and encourage him." * Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is planning to press Israel over the weekend to cease Jewish construction in the eastern sections of Jerusalem, * Michelle Obama's second cousin converted to Judaism, was ordained a rabbi, and runs a Chicago congregation made up largely of black converts to Judaism. * The TRUTH About Flu Shots! One theory that explains the seasonal nature of flu is that influenza is a vitamin D deficiency disease, I believe this may be a primary factor. Vitamin D levels in your body fall to their lowest point during flu seasons. * The older I get, the more I want things to be familiar. I find myself choosing the same restaurants to frequent, the same clothing styles to wear, the same friends to enjoy, the same exercise patterns to follow, even the same place to sit in church. "For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed."-Isaiah 9:16 "Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God."-Luke 16:15 * People power is alive and well in New York State as evidenced by Governor David Patterson's and his Health Commissioner's decision on October 22 to immediately suspend the mandatory swine flu vaccine for the majority of New York's healthcare workers.

THEY CAUGHT NOTHING... THEY ANSWERED HIM, NO.... there's a lot of stuff we don't have answers for..... that HE is going to take care of... not the least of which is this swine flu !!!! << John 21 >> King James Bible   1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. 2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. Know the Difference between a Cold and H1N1 Flu Symptoms: Symptom Cold H1N1 Flu Fever Fever is rare with a cold.

MY BEAUTIFUL AMERICA by Charlie Daniels   Have you ever spent the late afternoon watching the purple shadows deepen in Arizona desert? Or seen a herd of Elk plow their way through waist deep snow on a cold Colorado dome? Did you ever see the sun go down in Hawaii, Or seen the stormy waves break over the rock bound coast of Maine? Or have you ever see an eagle fly up out of the mists of Alaska? Or a big October moon hanging full over the still Dakota badlands? Have you ever tasted the gumbo in New Orleans, Bar-B-Que in Carolina Or the chicken wings in Buffalo? Have you ever had Brunswick stew in Macon, or cornbread in Burmingham? Or brisket slow cooked over hill country mesquite wood? Did you ever drink the water from a gurgling branch in Utah, Or, stand on the mountain above El Paso Del Norte And see the lights twinkling clear over into Mexico? Did you ever jangle horses in the pre dawn stillness of a perfect Texas day And watch their shodded hooves kicking up sparks on the volcanic rock? Or tended a trout line on a foggy Carolina morning, Or heard the distant song of a lovesick whippoorwill On a pristine Tenneesee late night? Have you seen the faces on Mount Rushmore or stood at the Vietnam monument? Have you ever crossed the mighty Mississippi, Or been to the daddy of them all in Cheyenne, Wyoming? Or seen the mighty Vols run out on the football field on a chilly autumn afternoon? Did you ever see the Chicago skyline from Lake Shore Drive at night? Or the New England follage in the fall, Or the summer beauty of the Shenandoah valley, Or Indiana covered with new snow? Did you ever seen a herd of wild horses running free Across the empty spaces in Nevada? Or, caught a walleyed pike out of a cold Wisconsin stream? Or ,marveled at the tall ship docked in the harbor at Baltimore? Did you ever see the early morning dew sparkling on the blue grass, Or, the wind stir the wheat fields on a hot Kansas afternoon? Or, driven the lonely stretches of old Route 66? Have you ever heard the church bells peal their call to worship On an early Sunday, in some small town in the deep south? Or pass through the redwood forest just as the sun was going down? Have you ever been to Boise or Batchlee or Beufort or Billings? Have you ever passed through Sanford or Suffolk or San Angelo? Have you ever seen the falls at Nigara? The ice palace in Saint Paul? Or the Gateway to the west? This then is America! The land God blesses with everything And no Effel Tower: no Taj Mahal; No Alps; No Andes; No native hut; nor Royal Palace - Can rival her awesome beauty, Her diverse poplulation, her monolithic majesty. America the Free ! America the mighty! America the beautiful ! I pledge alligence to the flag of the United States of America And to the republic for which it stands One Nation Under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all!   FOOTNOTES 1.

<< Isaiah 53 >> 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. ***************** << Psalm 91 >> 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; ***************** << Psalm 112 >> 6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. 8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. ***************** << Psalm 23 >> 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

impressions...FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I was rummaging around in the back of the braille library in the days when my friend Captain RON (Sherrigan) was principal of the School for the Blind in Jamaica. Those were the days when I had an insatiable thirst for knowledge or lets just say I was readinga lot of books. I came across and 'devoured' a few hundred pages of a book titled THE SECULAR CITY....and went in search of THE FEAST OF FOOLS by thesame author...which having found in another library I promptly set about reading. In his fascinating interpretation of contemporary culture and theology, Harvey Cox examines both the loss and reemergence of festivity and fantasy in Western civilization. He evaluates both processes from a theological perspective, defining festivity as the capacity for genuine revelry and joyous celebration and defining fantasy as the faculty for envisioning radically alternative life situations. He asserts that both are absolutely vital to contemporary human life and faith; both are a precondition for genuine social transformation. In a success and money-oriented society we need a rebirth of unapologetically unproductive festivity and expressive celebration. In an age that has quarantined parody and separated politics from imagination, we need a renaissance of social fantasy. It has been said over and over again that affluent Western man has been gaining the whole world while losing his soul. In the face of this Mr. Cox affirms the possibility and necessity of a resurgence of hope, celebration, liberation, and experimentation. The medieval Feast of Fools, from which he has taken his title, symbolizes both the problem and the process. Centuries ago it provided an opportunity for the choirboy to play bishop and for serious townsfolk to mock the stately rituals of church and court. The eventual disappearance of the custom in the sixteenth century, unlamented if not welcomed by those in authority, illustrates the concerns of this provocative and controversial essay. Mr. Cox does not propose that a medieval practice should be revived, but he does argue for a rebirth in our own cultural idiom of what was right and good about the Feast of Fools. FROM HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS ====================== Image is everything Packaging yourself for the job market is a good idea for todays tight marketplace.... but social networking ? what is it anyway? My wife and I last year attended a seminar hosted at a prestigious Connecticut 5 star hotel. We were "wined and dined" as we were 'enlightened' on the fine art of art of INTERNET MARKETING. ...Bottom Line.....you can be whoever you want to be ON THE INTERNET !!!! Used to be I would introduce you to my friend you would shake hands, do some 'small talk' mumble something about no more strangers and that was that. In today's GLOBAL VILLAGE the mingling is wired and sometimes downright weird. here's a case in point She lived in Central Ohio, and she fled to Central Florida, but the story of Rifqa Bary didn't start in either place. It started on Facebook. Bary, 17, ran away from home in July because she believes her Muslim family has to kill her because of her conversion to Christianity. She got on a bus and for 16 days lived in the home of evangelical pastors Blake and Beverly Lorenz of Global Revolution Church after she had gotten to know them through a Facebook prayer group.The Internet has made meeting more people in more places faster and easier than ever before, and churches are taking advantage. A recent Georgetown University study said 87 percent of religious organizations use the Internet to attract new members.

will it work?

<< 2 Corinthians 2 >> THE TESTIMONY OF PAUL I thank God, who always leads us in victory because of Christ. Wherever we go, God uses us to make clear what it means to know Christ. It's like a fragrance that fills the air. 15 To God we are the aroma of Christ among those who are saved and among those who are dying. 16 To some people we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a life-giving fragrance. Who is qualified to tell about Christ? 17 At least we don't go around selling an impure word of God like many others. The opposite is true. As Christ's spokesmen and in God's presence, we speak the pure message that comes from God. ================== Against a morning sky, a mushroom cloud spirals heavenward. A nuclear bomb has detonated in the heart of Washington D.C., incinerating 15,000 residents in just 15 seconds. More than 50% of the population living within a 1/2 mile radius of the explosion is either dead or severely injured. The next 24 hours will determine whether the rest of the city lives or dies. To survive this horrific ordeal they will need a plan. And lucky for us--there is one. But will it work? For the first time on television, the Department of Homeland Security reveals the most detailed and comprehensive plan to save America should terrorists go nuclear. This chilling two-hour special delves into the complex and highly secretive world of disaster planning. ================== For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. For the secret of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the person now holding it back gets out of the way. KJV For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.<< 2 Thessalonians 2:7 >> ================== Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. Everyone who keeps living in sin also practices disobedience. In fact, sin is disobedience. Those who live sinful lives are disobeying God. Sin is disobedience. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. << 1 John 3:4 >>
