Serving God and others.
I read in our local Penny Saver recently, the hospital in the area I live in was looking for Chaplin volunteers. I thought this would be a good opportunity to serve, and went over and signed up. I attended three of four, 2 hr mandatory meetings, and finally told the Chaplin I could not continue …
Kodak stock, and trusting in this world.
The following two articles were taken from the LA Times in 1997, and the Wall Street Journal a few days ago. http://articles.latimes.com/1997/sep/21/business/fi-34557 Still, with the high profitability of its traditional photo business, Kodak’s returns on shareholder investment have risen dramatically in recent years. And the company sailed into 1997 with superior new color films …
Think on these things.
I was mowing the lawn this morning, and some negative thoughts came into my mind. It is easy to take a negative thought, and before you know it, one thought leads to another, and your in a bad place. Then I remembered the scripture, Philippians 4;8 ” Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things …
Should we criticize our leaders ?
Is it OK to criticize the President, or congressmen,or the governor? Isn’t it our responsibility as citizens, and as Christians, to tell our elected officials when their doing a bad job, and really give it to them? After all we elected them to serve us, and to represent us in government. What does God’s word …
Jesus I know, and Paul I know,but who are You?

Psalm 33:9″ For he spake and it was done, he commanded and it stood fast.” God wants us, as His children, to also speak things into …
God is not angry.
A survey I read recently, indicated that most Americans see God as angry. Ready to deliver swift punishment, to people, or nations, if they sin and disobey him. Or they see God as distant and uninvolved. http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2010-10-07-1Agod07_CV_N.htm God communicates to us through his word, The Holy Bible. Not through surveys and opinion polls. How does …
Men of God
It’s inspiring to read the Old Testament word of God. It contains so many great stories of God intervening for his people, and those individuals he was working with, and through. Noah was instructed to build an arc, and saved mankind from extinction. Abraham and Sarah were promised a child well after their childbearing years, and Abraham was told he …
Trust in God.
How much can a person know? Sometimes it is overwhelming the amount of information there is available today in the world. A person can study their entire life to be an expert in just one field. The bible tells us, Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine …
