Happy St Valentine's Day to all my friends/family here at AAG.

I am doubly happy because it is also my 25th Christian Birthday.

It is 25 years to the day since I gave my heart and life to the Lord Jesus Christ.What a love affair, He is the Love ofr my life now and always, and I wouldn't change Him for the world. Amen.

Love & God's richest blessings

Thought 

Valentine's day is upon us. Everywhere you go you see in stores heart-shaped balloons and decorations hanging from the ceiling. Boxes of candy shaped like hearts are on the shelves and valentine cards dominate the greeting card racks.

Looking at all the things shaped like hearts, I'm reminded of our own hearts. Our hearts guide us in many ways though life, sometimes down right paths, sometimes down wrong paths. Many of us think more with our hearts than with our brains.

When I…

This is my first blog entry here. I really do not now where to begin. I have alot of questions on my mind. I am not new to being a Christian. I know who my God is and I know that in all things, He has my back. I know that I am saved and I know that when my time is up, I will be spending my days sitting at the feet of Jesus. This makes me extremely happy!

But with that, comes alot of questions. I think my first would be, How do you know your living right? With things in my daily life…

You crush them with your kindness

Literally flay them with your love

Make them feel small with your smiles

Kick them right in the conscience with

your concern

Pin them to the wall with your patience

Push them right off their feet with prayers

Floor them with your forgiveness

Wound them right in the heart with your

warmth.

Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worth while.
So when you are lonely, remember it's true
Somebody somewhere is thinking of you.

The Proper Care and Feeding of our Hearts. (spinoff Jas. 3 still)

Yesterday afternoon I spent some glorious time in my back garden . . . it came at the end of a rather tedious day, which included a lengthy medical appointment, a funeral, and another standby while my automobile oil was…

I am wide awake, I yearn to feel His presence yet all I feel is alone. Is this what despair feels like? I have so much to be thankful for; my loving family, my beautiful son and so much more. But i need His presence, I feel like if I could feel Him around me, and feel His loving, forgiving arms around me I will be fine. Is it that my faith is weak or that I am not praying enough? I am sorry dear Lord for all I have done, I need you, my heart is open to you. Please save me

Ps 147:3-5,11 .

and binds up their wounds.

"Unclean Unclean" . . . . Can you imagine having to declare out loud what is wrong with you every time someone approached? It would be difficult enough to have to shout. "Common cold!" "Bladder infection!" "Schizophrenia!" But what if we also had to declare our moral failings to everyone we met? "Compulsive liar!" "Self-centered!" "Refuses to forgive!" "Judgmental!" Talk about…

PSALM 55:17 NLT :  Morning, noon and night I plead aloud in my distress and the Lord hears my voice.

2 CHRONICLES 7:14 NIV : If my people, who are calle by my name, will humble themselves and have 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.

JEREMIAH 29: 13-14 NIV : "You will seek me…

Thank you for all the responses!  I have restored peace and joy now in the Lord.  I have comfort in knowing God is in control and have found that it is okay that my finite mind cannot understand everything!  I've been praying and you all answered guided by the Lord and the Holy Spirit.  Praise God and his awesome glory!  

GOD SPEAK TO THOSE WHO TAKE TIME TO LISTEN

AND LISTEN TO THOSE WHO TAKE TIME TO PRAY.

LET US OPEN OUR EARS TO HEAR WHAT GOD IS SAYING

TO US INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY.

TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD WE NEED TO TURN

DOWN OR TURN OFF THE WORLD VOLUME, SO

THAT WE CAN TUNE INTO GOD.

The False Church Judged:

As the chant in heaven continued, Jesus spoke, “Edom will be judged. To the world she looked pure, but she will be stubble before the wrath of God. The children of the living God will see Him on His holy mount. But to the church of Edom, He will hide Himself in darkness, never to reveal Himself again.

“The mountain of Edom will melt like wax before the flame of the…

We consume a lot of fruit in my home – though by far, the most sought-after fruit by all of us is the apple.  Danny likes the Gala, while Dean, Dylan and I usually prefer the Fuji.  I have been thinking about it--do we even know if it was an apple that Eve plucked, took a bite of, and gave to her gullible partner, Adam?  No matter, it seems so innocuous,…
