THE BUZZARD:
If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is
entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an
absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from
the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its
habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life
in a small jail with no top.

THE BAT:
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkable nimble
creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on
the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and,
no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which
it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

THE BUMBLEBEE:
A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it
dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the
top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the
bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys
itself.

PEOPLE:
In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee.
We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never
realizing that all we have to do is look up!
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up!

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in
the Lord Jesus Christ who loves us.

The Holiday season Is Always Hard For me

Holidays are uppon us. this is the time of year I miss my son the most. I did feel his presence in the wind last evening. Just as I felt the presence of the Lord. He answers my prayers and gives me comfort in knowing James is in Gods hand. That is the most comforting thought of all.

Thoughts

I was reading a news article today re: a speech Sen. Obama made to a chritian group. Apparenty he quoted the Old Testament, then stated our defense dept couldnt live by the teachings of Christ at the sermon on the mount. Of course I read the sermon on the mount after reading this article. One Sunday night at church we discussed The doctine of Christ vs The Doctine of Man. How people take scripture and "change" the meanings to fit their life and their needs. It is what it is. I admit, I have to… Continue

Chain of events

This time last year I was sitting at home on a Friday night. I had dropped James off at his friend Cory's house around 4:30 pm. He gets out of my car and says 'Be on call mom in case I need ya" and he said "I love you" and closed the door. Thats the last time I ever spoke to him. I received a call around 9:30 pm that night. It was a woman, she said she didnt know me and I didnt know her and she then stated that my son had been envolved in a car accident in Homosassa and that the police were look… Continue

A poem for James

To my son James.... I thought I saw you flying thru the trees. At that very moment I felt a cool breeze. Your angel wings embraced me and lifted my soul. For that short sweet moment I was warm, not cold. The thoughts of you are vivid in my mind. The memories of you are soft, warm, and kind. I still count the days from your last words spoken. A year has gone by and still I am broken. I talk to you often and know you can hear. The thoughts of you will carry me thru every year. I love you and… Continue

Open minds and open hearts can change the world.

There are so may lost people out there who are crying for help and support through Christ our Lord. Most do not know how to pray, to ask for help. I am a prayer servant for a woman who is struggling with many hardships. I am praying for her and her family and I hope all will pray for me to help her succeed in solving her trials and tribulations thru Christ. If I can help just one person, God has endured. I hope to help thousands. I know this is a great number but I have alwasy been one to shoot… Continue

Do you realize that ucountable numbers of people are anxious to
Please the Crowd instead of God?

We all know that there are people who are "born dictators" and others are "attention seekers"...

When in a position of authority they do not consider anyone's feelings... Some Governments strive to please the people despite the millions who are hurt in the process... Others cause pain and suffering because of obstinacy and a self-centred attitude, and then you realise that this is because they do not know God.
Pontius Pilate wanted to please the people. So he freed Barabbas
for them. And Pilate told the soldiers to beat Jesus with
whips. Then Pilate gave Jesus to the soldiers to be killed on
a cross. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent and yet he ignored this fact because he was trying to please the people!

-- Mark 15:15 (ERV)

Pilate knows Jesus is innocent, yet gives in totally to the wishes of
the mob -- he first has Jesus scourged ("flogged with a lead-tipped
whip") and then turns Jesus over to be crucified. Why does he do it?
Pilate has to keep Rome happy by maintaining order. To maintain order,
Pilate has to appease the crowd. Even though he has already pronounced
Jesus "not guilty" of any crime, Pilate has the final say. In his mind,
his word is law. In the eyes of the crowd, Pilate's word is law. Jesus,
however, knows that Pilate has no power to act, rule, or enforce his
verdict apart from God's granting him that power. Pilate is a puppet
who cannot recognize that he acts in concert with the crowd's will,
Rome's desire, and God's plan. Jesus is allowed to be crucified -- both
by Pilate, to appease the crowd which is being manipulated by the
religious leaders, and also by God, who is using this horrifying event
to save the world. If God can bring such a great redemption out of such
an unfair injustice, imagine what he can do with our suffering for his
sake.
Can any one of us imagine what it must take to sacrifice your child! I cannot!

TODAY'S PRAYER:
O God, you are the Almighty, the one in control even when I cannot see
Your control. Help me to understand that you will redeem every
injustice brought upon your people at your chosen time. Give me the
faith and strength to endure such times and the courage to live my life
in the hope that even if the scales of justice are not balanced in my
lifetime, they will be at the end of time. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
