Irony that hurts

Isn't it ironic. . .

An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery and died the next day

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isn't it ironic?

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought... that this tune would have run through my head as I…

The Lord is telling us in his that his grace is sufficient for us,the question is what happen to Paul ?what makes him boast about his suffering? 2 corinthian:12. he was given a thorn  in his fresh to torment him, he was in pain ,in great suffering ,he ask the Lord to take that suffering away ,a he was told :my grace is sufficient for you ,for my power is made perfec in weakness.

I dont know about us today ,are we taking suffering ,rejection,pain ,misery ,humiliation,greive and so on…

Good Morning~

At sundown of that same day, thirteen men met to celebrate the Passover in a great gray hall, an upper room in a house on Mount Zion, the northeast corner of the height of Jerusalem. In the tall-roofed chamber with heavy beams holding up the ceiling, the only furnishings were rattan divans and a long oaken table, on which tall candles were burning. The flickering flames played upon the sturdy figures of the Apostles, and repeated them in distorted shadows against the…

Some donkeys were in the field nearby Jerusalem. One donkey said;
"I don't understand it, just yesterday everyone was throwing their clothes and palms on the road
when I was carrying Jesus on my back but now I am back to being a nothing. Those people don't even
see its me who was carrying Jesus."
Another donkey said:

"It works like that my brother; without Jesus you are nothing in this world"

Let us shift our focus from Rome back to Jerusalem and cast our gaze toward the Upper Room.  It is Passover time, so the city is teeming with people.  All Jewish males over the age of 12 were required to go there for the festival, which was followed by a seven-day celebration called the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For these festivals, Jews from all over the Roman Empire would converge on Jerusalem to celebrate the most important events in their history. You will remember that the Passover…

Today is cloudy. I have struggled so long with journaling. The cloudy day sort of reflects how I feel about a journal. For over five years I have struggled with health issues. I used to run. Sometimes 5 or 10 miles. I used to lift weights and do aerobic excercise classes. I was a picture of health I guess. However, that would all end and actually that was just the beginning.

I suffered a "mini-stroke" or a TIA one weekend while at home. From that point on my health…

I asked you the other day whether or not you believe that you are chosen by God.  God chose you and me to love him and enjoy his love forever.

I hope that the word “chosen” speaks to you.  As children of God, we are God’s chosen ones.  Chosen means you are wanted, your company is sought after—I like that.  When I know that I am chosen, I know that I have been seen as a special person.  Someone has noticed me in my uniqueness and has expressed a desire to know me, to come closer to me,…

Prayer for Protection

Psalm 17

1Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

2Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.…

Because you said:" The Nile is mine! I made it!" therefore I am against you and your river and I will utterly destroy the land of Egypt, from Migdol to Syene, as far south as the border of Ethiopia. ( Ezekiel 29:10 ).

We must communicate our strong faith to everyone. We must not hide our light at home. Let you parents, children, spouse, brothers and sisters know of your faith in Jesus and be sure they see Christ's love, helpfulness and joy in you..

Below is a prayer for someone very close to me.    I am concerned about her soul.  Please take a moment to pray for this person.  I love her deeply.  Also, please feel free to use this for someone close to you.  I think it is a symptom of  our life in America.  I know she is not the only one with this malady.

Consuming Career

Dear Heavenly Father,

My very close friend is for whom I…

Dear Friends ,

I would like to tell you I am in similar situation to this article. I am not worried that I lost something my heart desired. I lost my path, I lost my mind. I do not know where I am heading, what I need to do and what should I expect. I do not know what God wants me to do. Currently I am silent. But this is pulling me down many a times. Related to all other things…

Im a young person and there are many many many temptations out there in the "world". The list could go on and on about all the temptations . And i see many people( even myself sometimes) getting caught up in secular music its catchy, its upbeat, and its entertaining. but something God showed me, is this:

1. Phil 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is…
