Worship Him no matter the circumstance

-

There is no valley too deep for Jesus to reach. Call out to Him and he will comfort you. Believe in Him, and he will replenish you. Fall on your knees and worship Him, and He will lift you up. In life we make mistakes. Some are worse than others. The key to getting past it is not to dwell on it. There's an old adage, "One day at a time." How much can you get done in one day?  Setting daily goals chops your major ones into sizable proportions.  I am doing this blog to encourage others and to motivate myself.  When I go back and read some of my posts, I marvel at what I wrote.  My own words inspire and motivate me. I'm not trying to get the big head and puff myself up but to accomplish the goal of witnessing for Christ. The Great Commission Matthew 28:16  Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.   17  When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.   18  Then Jesus came to them and said,  “All authority in heav

DON'T LISTEN TO THAT VOICE

-
Image
 Whenever you try to do something positive, do you have a negative thought like "This is pointless, or nobody cares about this?" I want this blog and this community to be a success. I can't listen to that voice that the devil says it's pointless. I have no idea who is reading this. I could say something that will help someone. One person.  Of course, I'm not  Jesus, but he was walking with a crowd around him, and someone touched him and was healed. He did not know who it was but knew power had left him. This message isn't just for you, readers. This is for me. I have stopped and started this blog again and again. I MUST NOT STOP!!!. And there's another thing I need to recognize. This is not a popularity contest. If the stats are low, that should not deter me. I am going to a church now where the pastor, his wife, and I are the only ones regularly there. See the picture above. Look at the empty seats. That has not stopped this pastor. And he has really fixe

Forgive myself and move on

-
Image
  I've been upset about my situation for a long time. To make a long story short, I got into serious trouble several years ago. It's the type of thing that's hard to come back from. Enough is enough. I have to move on and forgive myself. I was young and dumb. I've seen my nephews and nieces grow up. I want this month to be the month that I turn my life around. Like the Drake song says, "God's Plan". Jesus got me out of the worst possible trouble for a reason. I believe He wants me to use my story as an example. A cautionary tale to avoid making the same mistakes. And I have to stop thinking about what I don't have and what I do have. Bible Gateway Matthew 26:28 This is  my  blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the  forgive ness of  sins .

Kamala laid out her campaign platform in her speech at the Democratic National Convention. The video captured everything you want to know about her agenda. She said she would be a President for all Americans and a common-sense, practical President. She wants to build up and strengthen the middle class and vowed a tax cut. In her words, she said she would create an opportunity economy where everyone has a chance to compete and succeed. She wants to lower the cost of everyday needs like healthcare, houses, and groceries and end the housing shortage.  She pledged to protect Social Security and Medicare. She also stated she would provide small businesses with access to capital. Kamala promised to bring workers, small business owners, and American companies together to create jobs. In this interview with CNN's Dana Bash Kamala reiterated those points

Happy Labor Day

  I hope everyone has a safe and fun Labor Day. I'm taking it easy today, but I will work on my blog and edit my book, Thru The Glass. From Bible Gateway: Psalm 100 A psalm. For giving grateful praise. 1  Shout for joy to the  Lord , all the earth. 2       Worship the  Lord  with gladness;      come before him with joyful songs. 3  Know that the  Lord  is God.      It is he who made us, and we are his [ a ] ;      we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4  Enter his gates with thanksgiving      and his courts with praise;      give thanks to him and praise his name. 5  For the  Lord  is good and his love endures forever;      his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Unrest in Israel

-
Image
On October 7th 2023, Hamas crossed over into Israel and attacked concertgoers at a music festival, and they also attacked nearby villages.  They killed people, raped women, and, I believe, burned some babies alive. They took several hostages and took them back to Gaza. This was the most significant attack on Jews since the Holocaust. The world watched in horror as these events unfolded. Since then, there have been talks about a ceasefire. Some hostages have been released in exchange for Palestinian (Hamas) prisoners.  Just recently, the Israeli Defense Force found six dead hostages in a tunnel, and one of them was an American citizen. Israeli protestors have taken to the streets of Israel. They are demanding Prime Minister Netanyahu negotiate a ceasefire with Hamas. So far, the protests have been somewhat peaceful.
