Greetings in the Cleansing Name of Jesus Christ,
1938 - 2012
In 1938 there was a category 4 hurricane striking a town called Waterbury, CT. It was during that hurricane that my mother was born. On January 27, 2012 there was a heavy winter rain falling. It was during that rain that my mother passed away, following a lengthy fight with cancer, at the age of 73. When I was a child, I thought 73 was ancient, but now that I am 51, I have a different point of view! In just 22 years I will be 73, and I am sure I will not think I am old! Perspective is an experience one can only appreciate as it changes! I thank God my mother was a believer, thus now dwells in Heaven! I will see her again someday! God's word promises that end to all who call upon Him for forgiveness, and trust that His sacrifice and blood cleanses us from sin.
Now is the Time for Worship!
May God Richly Bless You All

Greetings in the Bonding name of Jesus Christ,
Today I get to attend a wedding! I love weddings. I love seeing the couple commit themselves to each other. I love the trust that they have in their eyes, trust that they will be husband and wife for their lifetimes, however long that may be. I also love the music, and the food! The bible says that the very first miracle, performed by Jesus, occurred at a wedding! The wedding couple had run out of wine, so Mary asked Jesus to "make" some more! He does, revealing his glory (Jn 2:11), and from then on his disciples put their faith in Him. Jesus is still attending weddings, and still providing wedding miracles!
John 2:3-10,
2:3 "When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."
2:4 "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come."
2:5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
2:6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
2:7 Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.
2:8 Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so,
2:9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
2:10 and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."

May God Richly Bless you, My Beloved!

Many books can be read at your leisure. Books to thrill you, to make you sad, books to give you suspense, and to tell it like it is. There are books of adventure, and books of love, books of history, and books of truth. You can read about conspiracy and lies, wisdom and angst, life lessons and disappointment. I have a surprise for you! All of these books are in one book! Get your hands on a Holy Bible TODAY, and read like you've never read before! There is so much to learn, and it is all true!
John 17:17 says, "Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth."

Greetings in the All-Knowing Name of Jesus Christ,
Recently a young man in our worship group posed a question, a profound question. He asked, "Suppose two people were to swap souls. What difference would it make?" (I think I got that right, I hope I got that right.) This question deserves deep consideration. This young man further asked, "Would swapping souls alter the person?"
and, "Does love come from the soul or the brain?" Naturally we, as a group, tried to ponder these queries aloud, only to determine that it would not be possible to come to any conclusions without some study! Thank you, Tommy, for the challenge! As for you readers, game on! I believe you can leave comments on this blog.

Greetings in the Outstanding Name of Jesus Christ,
The weather is finally warming up, the birds are operatic, grass is standing tall, trees are getting dressed for the season, and new life is abundant! It is a complete cycle of life, and death, and life. It is the way God intended. He intended the cycle for all living things, including humans. For us, life is an opportunity to serve God, and to marvel at His creations. But death also brings life, eternal in heaven with our creator! This, too, is what He intended. We need to make sure we tell this news to those who don't know it! We need to show them the way to find new life so that their cycle will be complete.
John 5:24 says, "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."

Greetings in the Stable Name of Jesus Christ,
Have you considered house construction? Step 1 is a solid foundation, then, a frame is erected to support both the roof and the walls (the house). Following that, drywall, paint and trim finishes up the job! Then, invite others to see your house! If properly cared for, the house will stand the test of time, lasting for hundreds of years in some cases. There are houses that were built in the 1700’s that still stand today! Now consider this; you are a house of God, built to serve Him. The first step is a solid foundation; the word of God, the Holy Bible. Set your house on that foundation, and it will not fall. The second step is framing; build your relationship with Jesus Christ. Learn his teachings to support your house! The third step; drywall, paint, and trim; make your house visibly attractive so others see it. The fourth step; Serve God; share your building plans with others, so they can build their own house! Remember to thank the Master Builder!
Joshua 24:15 says, "But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."

Greetings in the Highest Name of Jesus Christ!
Today is a very special day. Today we get to honor the one person that may have been the most important influence on our young lives! Of course, I am speaking of our God given mothers! Did you know that you have the mother God meant for you to have? We are not born into our family just by chance, it is a God directed birth! There is something else God directed; honor thy mother and father. It is not a choice, but a directive that, when performed, honors not only your parents, but God also! Remember your mother on this Mother's Day, and honor her!
Deuteronomy 5:16 says, "Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you."
