Time is such a fascinating factor of God. It's here, and then it is gone. You arise, drink your coffee, have your cereal, read God's Word, study a word or two in the Word, mediate/think---digest/analysis the thoughts. Commit to obeying the Lord, or rebell, disobey, sin against God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost/Spirit of God my teacher and comforter.

IS THERE A CHOICE? Yes, because we are not robots, but humans, and it is my choice to sin or not to sin? How about you

It's been 2 months

Wow, as I write today--the sun is shining brightly for the first time in 8 days. The last 8 days the clouds has kept the sun covered, so to see the sun, I would of needed to rise above and through the clouds. It is good to experience the brightness of the sunrays today. As I put some thoughts down today, my mind goes to the decline of strength with my mother. She can't get out of bed or into bed at all any more. But praise the Lord, she still is able to take care of her bathroom needs. She does choose to rest a lot more. The other day, except for getting up and going to the bathroom, she laid down for a few minutes over 16 hours. Even though I see a decline, I realize how much worse it could be. She shows no pain, is always 'thankful" for any assistance, her food being brought in, or what ever, she always, always, says, "Thank You !"

Heart heavy today

Why, for the suffering, death, grief with Haitian people in regard to 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, late yesterday afternoon. Praying for the comfort of God on those missionaries, medical personel, rescue personel that they would not only be comforted by the Almighty hand of God--but that they would ALL be aware of that presence and touch.
My scripture for today: John 8:31-32 "So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My Word, you really are My disciples. You will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free."

What are you thinking?

Do you ever pose that question? I just finished with the church blog at WWW.Morningstarsbc.com and now penning a personal note. I'm enjoying the warmth of the sun today. 30 is warm after all of those below zero days. But I am so thankful for our home, the warmth of our home, the warmth of the vehicles God has provided us. He has so blessed us, with health, a warm home, warm cars, a warm people of God we call friends. For all of my facebook friends, Friends at Morning Star, Family, specifically my wife, Barb.

And all because of God.
