Folly (the state or quality of being foolish; lacking understanding)

Proverbs 9:13-18

The woman Folly is loud; she is undisciplined and without knowledge. She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way. “Let all who are simple come in here!” she says to those who lack judgment. “Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!” But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave [or of Sheol,… Continue

A real day in the life...

I wish I could juggle everything better. I wish I had a better memory/attention span. The school-age daycare program sent me a letter saying I was cut off because of late payment. I am having trouble working full-time, raising a happy, healthy daughter (my son lives with my mom) and paying bills with money orders or a load yourself credit card, cleaning and cooking and being tired! My daughter wants me to work part-time again and I am tempted. She'll be entering 4th grade and we don't really… Continue

Why bad things happen to good people?

Killer cyclones. Plane crash. Road accident. Murder. Hijacking. Embezzlement. Divorce. Result: loss of a loved one, permanent physical disability, paralysis, financial ruin, trauma, neurosis, death. "Why? Why me?" sob the victims or the bereaved. "What have I done to deserve this?" During the second world war, a German soldier wrenched away a baby suckling at its mother's breast and before her very eyes threw it into the air, laughed and shot its brains out with his revolver. The screaming… Continue

"We" and/or "Me"

From My Perspective - - -

I was just reading a Review about the book: “Knocking Over the Leadership Ladder” by Paul R. Ford. The Reviewer observed from Chapter 2: "It is difficult to find the communion of the Holy Spirit when the spotlight is on the self…Narcissism, exaggerated self-concern says, 'It's all about “Me”… Entitlement says "I deserve it." We feel “We” deserve what we have, what we want and what we need. “We” look and act much like our unhappy culture… God's design…is for… Continue

Revelation Song

It's been a long time since a song affected me the way this one does. I can't listen to it enough. I am ushered into the throne room of an awesome, Holy God, and I fall at His beautiful feet and am lost in worship.

Revelation 4:… Continue

Amelioration

From My Perspective - - -

It seems as though “amelioration” should have a central place and function in all of ones efforts and engagements. Ours is a world of flux and people need and long for some semblance of stability. Just think of the result if we entered into situations – even if there is a degree of risk – to try to ameliorate rather than ignore. The purpose would be to make something better, or to bring about improvement.

The political candidates for President of… Continue

YOUR LOVE

YOUR LOVE, O LORD, IS ALWAYS PRESENT

I HAVEN'T BEEN THE ONE TO RECIEVE THIS LOVE IN THE PAST.

FOR I REFUSED TO LET YOU IN.

AS MY LIFE DRIFTED ON, I KNEW I NEEDED TO COME TO YOU.

I REFUSED, AND WENT MY OWN WAY.

ONE DAY I HEARD MORE CLEARLY OF YOUR LOVE FOR ME.

AND IT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.

I KEPT REPEATING IN MY HEAD, THE SPOKEN WORDS OF YOUR LOVE,

THEY TOLD I COULD FIND ALL THE SPOKEN WORDS FROM YOU, IN THIS BOOK

CALLED THE " THE BIBLE " .

IT TOOK… Continue

What a Night.....

I had perhaps one of the roughest nights I've had in a long time. In my dream, I was w/ a guy I highly admire (who's a current youth minister) & his wife, & a girl I knew when I lived in the college dorms years ago (Fawn). We were at a gang-infested bar. We definitely didn't fit in. This bar's where all the gang bangers hang. Well, in the bar there was a guy that looked like a tank (around 7'5", 400 lbs, white, & stone-faced). He didn't fit in like everyone else either. When I… Continue

Cheerfulness

From My Perspective - - -

There is another dimension to the subjects of jocularity, humor, jokes and happiness, namely, the Therapeutic. The idea is gleaned from Proverbs 17:22, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” A similar thought is shared in Proverbs 15:13, “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.” There is a connection being made between the psychological and the physiological. It is not an artificial… Continue

Jocularity

From My Perspective - - -

The idea of jocularity is understood by the definition, namely, “Characterized by joking; Given to joking.” Humor is part of our total being. We have an emotional range that enables us to move from weeping to laughter depending on the circumstances surrounding one. And indeed, the Bible allows (Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 states some obvious contrasts in life): “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a… Continue

Birds Of A Feather

From My Perspective - - - -

Most have heard the phrase: “Birds of a feather flock together.” As we have been faithfully nurtured by parents and grandparents, they warned us about the company one chooses to keep. It’s based on the idea of birds of a feather flocking together. Another phrase that flows from these expressions is that one can fall under the banner of “guilt by association”! All of these are cautionary phrases so ones value system directs one to make the right choices… Continue

1Corin.(letter from Paul)

1Corinthians(2:1)

1)Dear brothers,Even when I first came to you I didn't use lofty words and brilliant ideas to tell you God's message.2)For I decided that I would speak only of Jesus Christ and his death on the cross.3)I came to you in weakness-timid & trembling.4)And my preaching was very plain,not with alot of oratory and human wisdom,but the HOLY SPIRIT's power was in my words,proving to those who heard them that the message was from God.5) I did this because I wanted your faith to… Continue
