Thank you Jeannette!  I thought this derserved a place on my blog.

How do you file your secrets, God?

By  age or size?

By your purpose or by man’s inquisitiveness?

Do you have an empty drawer where we could file obsolet feuds and moth eaten resentments?

I hate to be after a bargain, Lord, but would it help to have a peace pill.

As it is one angry sneeze creates a world-wide headache.

Is peace filed mistakenly in a foldre for man -do–it- yourself ?

If so, we’re about as progressive as a boomerang.

Or, on second thought, Lord, is extinction for more than dinosaurs?

Seperate the Person from Pride

The character of a person is what they have weaved into the fiber of their being be it negative or positive.  A person is a total being  who is has painted a picture of himself/herself that motivates them to lift their heads and walk with a strut in the face of the pit falls.  Pride is a fixed internal worth that is not based on beauty, money, or unemployment.  Pride feeds the ego of the farmer who has loss his crop, the widow who loss her husband but must keep a shelter over the children, the college student who would take the job of custodian and labor into the night rather than beg or engage in illegal  activities. Pride is a pillar that hold hands with morality and raise the sails  of family values.

Recession/ A Time to Take Inventory!

Good Evening!

 

The Recession is parallel to the seven years of famine,   drought, in Bible times when the Israelites had disregard for God’s   goodness and his continous protection.  When God can’t seem to get our attention  this Nation continue  to march down corridors and  sin per Leviticus  Chapter 19 for daily living and Chapter 20 for  imoral behavior.   Romans Chapter 1  coins valid reason for the recession, the drought for three years in some parts of the Country and the World.   Who protects us in every aspect of our lives and  our struggle to live?   We  look  for reason of how our Money gaints could  take a Rip Van Winkle sleep while the  Guardian of the money look the other way or step over the marks that points to exposure.    Some parts  of our society   are  anxious to know the ins and outs of the Stock Market but that information is  similar to  a pot of mud  you know that is wet and the purpose varies, but the color is taken for granted. 

Recession/punishment recognition of who is in control and punishment for the deserving.   Reference to individual sins:

Ps 51:3,   John 16:8 , Numbers 32:23
