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

An update on my son

First of all there is no way i could ever thank everyone enough for all your support and prayers, life just wouldnt be the same without all the brothers an sisters to share it with, praise God for all these wonderful people.

My son actually left the hospital today which is truly a blessing. When his physical therapist came in yesterday they said he was stronger than they anticipated. He was mvoing around good, moving his arms and his leg. He ended up having two plates in his left arm with… 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

dealing with issues

I have really been struggling with anger lately. I am outraged often, the littlest thing sets me off. Not sure what the issue is. Alot of times, my hubby accuses me of things that I am not doing. Nothing big, just things around the house or whatever. It is hard. I also have been very tempted with sins I have overcome, years ago. Pray for me please!

A Prophetic Man of God...Graham Cooke

Graham Cooke shares his passionate views about the purpose and role of New Testament prophets.

When you talk to Graham Cooke, you can sense he’s been hanging out with God. He’s at the same time down-to-earth and full of spiritual wisdom on everything from prayer to spiritual warfare to prophecy to intimacy with God. Cooke is well known for his prophetic training programs and has a passion to build prototype churches that can reach our postmodern society. God also uses him to help… Continue

College

In two and a half weeks I am suppose to move into the dorms at Tabor College. A great Mennonite Brethren college. I am M.B. and it just fells right to me to be going there. but nothing has gone right yet. Its private so its expensive and out of state for me, so that makes it even more expensive. I got a few grants and scholarships from the school but I still need to cover about half of the costs. I have been turned down time after time for loans and my mother refuses to co-sign a loan with me.… Continue

ELEVEN

Its God whispering again.

Psalm 11 !

In the town, I accidentally turned to the small pocket Bible, so it is NOT by chance, It is the way God speaks to me. He is the Way , the Truth and Righteous One.

Amazing, you got to BELIEVE.

Coming home, I saw this page 7 ( Genesis 7 ) left opened earlier of my NIV Bible.

God once again proved He is the living God and Faithful One!

Speak to Him through His Words, the Bible.

Ask Him to fill you the Holy… Continue

Seven O'clock

Imagine the God creation in Seven days,

My wife and I were walking in the park, I decided we walked 7 rounds the field. Meantime I told her briefly Genesis about creation in 7 days.

When we arrived home, I puzzled a while, it's 7 am !

That was the first morning walk I impromptu thought of....

God is alive.

GOD TESTS US

Looking back, it has been marvelous how Jesus shows me his presence and test after test.

Thanked you for yr prayers. I am… Continue

Don't Fake It

From My Perspective - - -

Reality and Integrity are two worthy aspirations. Most people are weary of the façade approach to life and the inability to be straightforward in responses. If one asks a politician a “Yes” or “No” type question, it seldom is the response. There is usually several sentences shared and the point of the question is obscured by intentional vague rhetoric.

It is interesting to note in an editorial comment by Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal… Continue

Living a continuously renewed life

A pastor from Colorado Springs gave a sermon on the concept of the Holy Spirit as the believer's spouse. He posed these (not very novel, but seldom-considered) questions: How close and enjoyable of a marriage would you expect to have if you rarely spent time with your spouse? How long would you expect the marriage to last if all the time you did spend went towards planning the party and none of it went to preparing for the life together? Or if you never did anything to keep your activities new… Continue

The Brick

Another email I received....

THE BRICK

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared . Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then… Continue

New Beginnings

New Beginnings

From My Perspective - - -

Words such as Failure and Disqualified have a heart-piercing affect upon one. The other side to this is the thought – Is All Failure and Disqualification Final? Is there any possibility of one having hope of being reinstated and/or having a second chance? Businesses on occasion file for Bankruptcy and seek for time to Reorganize. Many companies have come out of Bankruptcy and were viable once again. Can a person who tried and failed… Continue

ARE YOU DESPERATE FOR GOD? What Issues are Keeping me from Knowing/Serving my God?

A man went to a Catholic priest and told him he wanted to get serious about his relationship with God. He was surprised when the priest invited him to meet at the local swimming pool. When asked if he was really serious about longing to grow in his relationship with God, the man said 'yes', and the priest plunged the man under the water and held him down. Just when he came up desperately gasping for air he pushed him under again. Finally, when this had happened several times, the man still… Continue
