10 years

The sun is rising on another day at war in Afghanistan, where the calendar already reads September 11, 2011. 
Our nation's selfless troops, veterans, and military families have treated every day of the past ten years like 9/11. 
To the military community and my military family: while your days are filled with danger, sacrifice, and heroism, our hearts are filled with gratitude. 
Thank you for your service to our country♥

For the husband who told his wife I love you one last time before his plane went down in a field
For the wife who stopped in the stairs to call her husband to say I will love you forever
For the mothers and fathers who kissed their kids goodbye the morning they died
For the policemen who rushed in with the firemen to help get others out only to die themselves
For the soldiers who fought back and lost their lives.

Today, tomorrow, ten years from now, we will remember.

Times of impact: 8:46 a.m. and 9:02 a.m. 
Time the burning towers stood: 56 minutes and 102 minutes. 
Time they took to fall: 12 seconds. 
2819 dead from 115 different nations. 
343 Fireman/paramedics
23 NYPD
37 Port Authority officers.  
I WILL NEVER FORGET 09-11-01

rock today for Jesus

Love worship songs. Love listening to KLOVE. 

Dear God,

I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice to worship you.

Today is the day You have made.

I will rejoice and be glad in it even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

Your perfect love is casting out fear.

I fear no evil for my God is with me; and because God is with me, whom then shall I fear?

No one and nothing.

Because my hope is found in Christ alone.

He is my light, my strength, my song. No guilt in life, no fear in death...this is the power of Christ in me.

From life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny.

No Power of he'll, no scheme of man, could ever pluck me from His hand.

Till He returns, or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

My comforter, my all in all, here in the love of Christ I stand.

Your love, God, is extravagant.

Your love, oh Lord, reaches to the heavens.

Your faithfulness stretches to the skies.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Even the rocks cry out, even the heavens shout.  

All creatures of our God and King lift up your voices and sing with us.

Praise to the Savior, praise to the Lamb of God, praise in all of His splendor, and praise for saving my life.

My God is mighty to save. He rose and conquered the grave.

My Savior loves, my Savior lives, and my Savior's always there for me.

He is the God who was, is, and is always going to be. Glory to God forever!

You gave me breath so I could praise Your great and matchless name all my days.

Lead me on and I will run after You.

Thank you for watching over me and healing me.

Thank you for your abundance of love in my life. 

Amen.

This video speaks:

Kind of cool to see that the stuff that literally holds us together as a human is in the shape of a cross.
Lord I am listening, I am your servant to your great things on this Earth. Everything holds together in Jesus Christ.
Tell me that as a Christian that doesn't give you goosebumps and make you want to dance and sing HIS praises!

God and Schools

A boy writes a letter to God. "Dear God, why do you let bad things happen in our schools?" God replied " Dear Son, I'm not allowed in your schools."

Christianity is what this country was founded on. It stemmed off of Catholicism. There is nothing wrong with God being in school whether is it my Christian God, your Mormon God, your Allah, your Buddha etc. It will stimulate the getting along of each-other and being accepting of each-others religions and opinions. It will foster relationships that if they were fostered years ago I honestly don't think there would be so much animosity between the religions.

God is on our currency, in our prayers, in the courthouses, etc. So why not have Him in our schools to keep our children safe. We wouldn't have nearly as many bullies, school shootings etc because there would be more respect. You realize you can't "force" someone to pray, right?... If I were to walk up to you and start praying with you then sure I could pray but there's nothing I could do to make you pray. 

Freedom of religion does not mean that one has the right or more superior power to push it down one another throats. It gives you the right to practice your religion as you want.

Does that mean that there are religious fanatics that will push it and force it down your throat, sure but that doesn't mean 100% of them will.

FCA is allowed in schools because it is not ran by the school, it is run by the students.

God is love and everyone needs that. God gave you free will, now you choose how you want to use that gift.

 

Faith is all you need

Do you know the only people who can demand perfect parents? Perfect children. The only people who can demand a perfect pastor is a perfect church member. The only person who can demand a perfect politician is a perfect citizen!There is never a license for rebellion. There are ways to reason together in a church, home, and government.

 

 There is a place of quiet rest, near to the heart of God. A place where sin cannot molest, near to the heart of God.There is a place of comfort sweet, near to the heart of God. A place where we our Savior meet, near to the heart of God.

 

 It’s not circumstances that have you down; your thoughts about your circumstances have you down. It is possible to be in one of the biggest battles for your life and still be filled with joy and peace and victory – if you simply learn how to choose the right thoughts. Fill your mind with God’s Word.

 

Things and persons appear to us according to the light we throw
upon them from our own minds. How unconsciously we judge others
by the light that is within ourselves, condemning or approving
them by our own conception of right and wrong, honor and
dishonor! We show by our judgment just what the light within us is. -- Laura Ingalls Wilder

 

I'm grateful that...
... Noah didn't say, "I don't do floods."
... Joshua didn't say, "I don't do Jerichos."
... David didn't say, "I don't do poems."
... Daniel didn't say, "I don't do lions' dens."
.... Joseph didn't say, "I don't do adoptions."
... Paul didn't say, "I don't do mission trips."
And I'm most grateful that Jesus didn't say, "I don't do crosses."

 “I hear religious minded people say all the time with good intentions. ‘God will never place a burden on you so heavy that you cannot possibly carry it. ’Really? My experience is that God will place a burden on you so heavy that you cannot possibly carry it alone. He will break your back and your will. He will buckle your legs until ...you fall flat beneath the crushing weight of your load. All the while He will walk beside you waiting for you to come to the point where you must depend on Him.‘My power is made perfect in your weakness,’ He says, as we strain under our burden.Whatever the burden, it might indeed get worse, but know this-God is faithful. And while we change and get old, He does not. When we get weaker, He remains strong. And in our weakness and humility, He offers us true, lasting, transforming, and undeserved grace.”
