Live
Leviticus 19:18
“‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
Psalm 91:1
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
Mark 8:36
What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
-----------------------
What good is life if it is meant only for me? If only I look to what I feel good with ? Even the religious places we search for, who will be honest enough to say that mostly it is about how good it feels for me? "I don't like that church, they don't seem to nice." "this place meets my needs."
Sorry, Dan, I thought it was that God met all our needs and we lived a life of service to others. Wow. Guess I was off. Who knows, maybe it is needed for your cheerfulness to teach about such? Guess I must no the reading right cause I don't remember it being said to seek first yourself........
Live as if each person has given you all they had and maybe you will find that you have more to give, forgive as if you are the worst of the worse (hm, Paul anyone) and maybe you will find the way of humility, look only to the heavens and maybe you will find that there are some mansions still available. No man is greater then another, each has a role, the seed is nothing without the water, nor either are worth anything without the Maker of seed and water.........
Evening of morning and evening.....
"Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called."
1 Corinthians 7:20
Some persons have the foolish notion that the only way in which they can live for God is by becoming ministers, missionaries, or Bible women. Alas! how many would be shut out from any opportunity of magnifying the Most High if this were the case. Beloved, it is not office, it is earnestness; it is not position, it is grace which will enable us to glorify God. God is most surely glorified in that cobbler's stall, where the godly worker, as he plies the awl, sings of the Saviour's love, aye, glorified far more than in many a prebendal stall where official religiousness performs its scanty duties. The name of Jesus is glorified by the poor unlearned carter as he drives his horse, and blesses his God, or speaks to his fellow labourer by the roadside, as much as by the popular divine who, throughout the country, like Boanerges, is thundering out the gospel. God is glorified by our serving him in our proper vocations. Take care, dear reader, that you do not forsake the path of duty by leaving your occupation, and take care you do not dishonour your profession while in it. Think little of yourselves, but do not think too little of your callings. Every lawful trade may be sanctified by the gospel to noblest ends. Turn to the Bible, and you will find the most menial forms of labour connected either with most daring deeds of faith, or with persons whose lives have been illustrious for holiness. Therefore be not discontented with your calling. Whatever God has made your position, or your work, abide in that, unless you are quite sure that he calls you to something else. Let your first care be to glorify God to the utmost of your power where you are. Fill your present sphere to his praise, and if he needs you in another he will show it you. This evening lay aside vexatious ambition, and embrace peaceful content.

What ? I'm not right ?
In a book you read, Dan, it talks about a man who was imprisoned. This man was royalty but in order to not be killed, he hid in a dungeon in the darkest dirtiest worst part of one. After a time, he was discovered. He and one other, who became his friend, escaped, almost dying. Upon escaping, other long lost friends found him and helped him regain health, during this time, his country was at war, and another, ambitious, evil, woman took over and did much campaigning on her back to become queen of this small rebellion of people. Upon confrontation, it was decided in order to keep the peace that they marry and thereby not cause a split in this rebellion. The man, was dressing when an old adviser comes in and tries to convince the the man to not go thru with this, for this woman is vile and would destroy the king...... the king replies that he has no choice and he has tried to think of things to get out of it. As such he has come to the conclusion that it is best to just do it and then he will deal with things later. As this adviser talks, he speaks about how the marriage may not be a temptation, but the power is..... Still the king holds to the thought that he has no way out.......
The wise adviser replies. " My king, sometimes the way out of a hole isn't climbing."
The king replies. " Get out."
Sounds dumb Dan, right? What the heck? This guy needs to save a nation, hold them together and this is the best way right? Power or not, the king can still do good things though it may not be in the best conditions.
Wow, that is what we learn now..... when in doubt or want our way, do what we must to get our way. We are the ones who know the truth and what to do . Unless people agree with us, they are wrong and crazy . Push our morals to the side, then we can go to them later or we can "tweak" them as needed.
We do not submit. We do not believe. We value what we want, and to heck with all else. The wise adviser was not saying that it could not work out, but the right thing was not about what it looked like, it was about what was not seen, power, a control.
Matthew 23:11
The greatest among you will be your servant.
Luke 22:26
But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.
Who is he who is not great, the one who always tries to escape, tries to get what they want. Who is the one that is lead astray? The one who is not looking to serve, but be served. Which way is out? Not always the easiest or most logical to others.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
God, yup messed up again, I didn't wake in time for worship. then it all went downhill, learned some news that brought back memories of a similar event in the past (yeah Ecclesiastes is right, nothing is new under the sun). Then I lost my temper happily not in front of anyone, but it is not right. Gosh, I thought I had a good handle on it, but apparently I'm trying to do it on my own again. Sorry. Thank you though, cause I had to remember that there is not fairness in the world, nor are men righteous. Our leaders don't always mean they earn their position by leading, and I'm but a servant.
Well, be with her, soften the chains of sin, then CRUSH them for her, for our strength is strongest when we are weakest and YOU take over. Be with her and I dunno, something is complacent, not all who say Lord Lord or go to worship are true. Alas, i pray her protection and guidance to truth. Help our families and remember Your promise to those who call on You. Be with my Mom and Dad. Ruth too, gosh has it been so long..... Well thank You for listening, may those who need You find these writings and be spoken from You by them. Speak Holy One, and open their ears to hear YOU. Always.......

out vs in and in vs out
The pharisees minded what God spoke, but not what
He intended. They were busy in the outward work of the hand, but
incurious of the affections and choice of the heart. So God was served
in the letter, they did not much inquire into His purpose; and therefore
they were curious to wash their hands, but cared not to purify their
hearts.
Author: Jeremy Taylor
We are all unit in this arena. When all men sin it doesn't mean they all do the same thing. I lust, you lie, he is angry, she doesn't forgive. the point is nothing is as it seems with us. I can ge outwardly the best "Cristian" in the world. I got to church meetings, I volunteer for everything, I hang out with churchy people, and go do my "get in front if church and lead" by a prayer or something. But that is what Pharisees did. I am not a christian because i do that. Nor am I a Christian because I "take a beating, let people walk over me, sacrifice my energy". that is all nice and moral, but what does it mean?
Jesus once said, "Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean." (NIV Matt. 23:26)
Looking back at many things, I realize I did it most of the time because it was the moral thing to do. It's "good" to do this. I like work I do beacuse it helps people, makes me feel good. That is a good motivator, but to truly clean the cup it must be washed thoroughly. If I have been bought by God, then as a vessel of His, I must be cleaned as He says and that means to make Him happy and for His purpose. There is too much of that now, you say "Christian" and I say "where?", Dan, because the inside is not cleaned, it is merely being repainted so it looks clean. This is why forgiveness of others, committment, religions, are all jacked up. What my "heart believes and wants" is not parallel to what God says He wants....... The heart of the matter is never me, it is God and trying to have as many people take the invite for a party of an eternity........
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God in heaven, I don't know what to say. I keep messing up. I keep thinking I can earn some forgiveness if I do something good. I can't, I want to , but I can't . I don't deserve it, but i ask forgiveness for what I do. I ask forgiveness for what others do, her, me, those far and near I know of . Help me not to speak to Sam, instead, that You do the talking. Sam needs your salvation, and al lI can do is direct to what You say to do. Gosh I shouldn't complain, i have 2 legs, 2 hands, my voice, a job, that in itself is more than soooooo many people can say. Thank you for that.
Oh God, I know she doesn't want anything to do with me, but I want to ask, that one day you soften the heart. God, I don't know what is right because of what I think. Not cause of what my parents think or the preacher or friends. It has to be based on what YOU say is right. and this is not right. May our hearts be bleached, disinfected to be pure each time it becomes dirty. God why do You put up with us? Why do You love us so much? I can't understand, but Thank YOU.
Be with us all, humble us and break our walls of our own "righteousness " and "religiousness" (dunno if a real word. Thank You for listening.

Change revisited
Henry David Thoreau : "Things do not change; we change."
"WE change... WE change.......So H.D.T. writes. But is it true? DO we change? I would say SOME change. Some change for the worse...like the person who falls into drugs, alcohol, gangs, etc and becomes like those with whom they hang. SOME change for the better, like those who find God and are led by the Holy Spirit into a happier existence serving him and serving others selflessly. But I think that MOST DO NOT CHANGE. At least not their personality or character traits. We resist change. We fundamentally adhere to the core belief that we are ok, we are 'all set'. And as something begins to go wrong, we see the wrong in others but not ourselves. This is especially true in relationships. I speak from experience that usually, it is not until after the relationship has ended that we can begin to see our part in its failure, our shortcomings. And frankly, (again I speak from experience) even after several or many relationships have ended it is difficult for us to see that we have a character flaw that eventually provokes discord in every relationship. And since every relationship is a 50/50 arrangement, it is not difficult to understand why 50% of all marriages end, most within 3 - 5 years. So in conclusion, when we long for a relationship that has ended, it is usually (again from experience) because we are angry at ourselves for our part in its destruction, and we WISH WE COULD HAVE CHANGED before it was too late. But we couldn't. That is because no one can really change without the grace of God's intervention, having learned through the Spirit that our own lives and our own happiness do not matter--that what DOES matter is the life and happiness of the other person--the life and happiness of each person that we meet and enjoy and serve and consider ahead of ourselves. And LO ! !--when we do this...we become happy!! And thus the greatest truth of all is proven true--(because it was taught by He who said "I am the truth and the way and the life") --It is far, far "better to give than to receive". David H"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. David H. ,
Said I would reply. Heck i didn't realize it was posted such time ago. I agree..... gosh I thought I was going to write something different. A, shall we say, "counterargument" . But I can't. Thank you for this comment, it has taken many readings and me saying "shut it, Dan."to see the simple truth of your words. I pray God blesses you and guides you always. So, Thank YOU.
Um, I think this cannot be restated enough :
" ...But we couldn't.

Psalm 19:1-2
- ok, so hope is not hope without a goal. Faith is not faith if it's seen. There has to be more to life than merely waking and working. There must be more than going to a church building, then having a spouse, sex, a pet, travel..... and there is...... In the words of a man I know, for those who believe in heaven and that they are going to heaven...... "#1 has to be about trying to have the biggest party in heaven. :)"
There is more, there has to be. Not a question...... but are we listening to what is being said, day by day......

Alas.....
In honor of days that just don't seem to go well, here's a joke.
The Brake Breakdown
Sherry was exasperated with her younger sister, who bought an unreliable
car and called for a ride every time it broke down.
One day Sherry got yet another one of those calls.
"What happened this time?" she asked.
"My brakes went out," her sister said. "Can you come to get me?"
"Where are you?" Sherry asked.
"I'm in the drugstore," her sister responded.
"And where's the car?"
"It's in here with me."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
Matthew 9:13
-"there has to be something more than justice, because we don't always get what we deserve, and if it was all justice it wouldn't be worth it.......hence mercy"

"My people have committed two sins: They have
forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own
cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water."
Jeremiah 2:13So.........:
I believe there are too many practitioners in the church who are not believers.
Author: C.S. Lewis
If we have no zeal for the glory of God our mercy must be superficial, man-centered human improvement with no eternal significance. And if our zeal for the glory of God is not a reveling in his mercy, than our so-called zeal, in spite of all its protests, is our of touch with God and hypocritical.
Author: John Piper
There are two sorts of hypocrites: ones that are deceived with their outward morality and external religion; and the others are those that are deceived with false discoveries and elevation; which often cry down works, and man's own righteousness.
Author: Jonathan Edwards
Be careful, this one is very sporadic. and personal.
Hm first of all, Thank you David H. for your comment, I almost forgot people read this , and I can honestly say I have been reading over and over the comment and appreciate it and it makes me think, such as every day since I have read it. :) I have to veg on it and I will actually say something on it, thankyou greatly... if you read this that is... :D
=========================================================================
Now back to the sponsored program......
God in heaven, Holy is your name and worthy of , well, worthy of better words than we can make up or think. Crud, how do you put up with me? Like cartoons, why don't you strike me dead? Gosh, I stink at life. No, its not Your fault, feels , seems like I'm a step behind. By now shouldn't I be not doubting You?
amen.......
Well, God, thank You that i heard from her, it made my day. I'm glad she is well, so very glad. I'm asking (yup greedy huh) for her to be strengthened each day and that the church fam she is with is true to what You want and challenges her and encourages her in Love. May Your healing comforting hand always protect her n her family. Gosh I miss her,maybe I'll hear from her again someday. What to do God? Help my mom not go back into hosp. and my dad to shine through to Abuelo, before it's too late. I stink at this God, I'm no good at keeping up with people.
I don't know God, does Your forgiveness ever have a stop point? Is it ever to late to turn back? My mistakes are like acid, to the soul..... is there a point where the acid eats away and there is no more base? No more to work on? Where Your face must turn away?
Holy One, I'm an nothing without You. No family, no friends, no spouse, no child, nothing is fulfillment like You. Truly the most wealthy, family oriented man is nothing but an empty vessel, may look good and beautiful on the outside, but inside nothing......
Oh God, i don't even know if I'm making sense, one moment I think it does, the next my mind is slamming with so many things: What is nice and moral vs what You would have me do? Or knowing vs doing? dang and everyday i long for her, through the day, randomly or something triggers a mental image or something.
Whoa, God, I'm rambling again. I need to slow down, mind running 50 million miles a sec. breath...... breath..... I should go, and I will. Nothing is as it seems.
I know these words, now make them real! I beg of this......
Oh God, i end on the note i started, Thank You for it all, and forgive please these failures, protect the family, be with her and perhaps one day gosh I want to believe one day we may start again or something. there has to be a reason for...... anyhow, Oh God, I beg that if my life were better to be ended just so one may be added, then let it be so. Glory, Honor and power is Yours. Thank You til the end.

test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false
prophets have gone out into the world.

Computer Store: "Back in 10 minutes - out for a quick byte."
Tiger's Snack:
A tiger was walking through the jungle one day and saw two men relaxing under a tree. One was reading a newspaper, and the other was working feverishly on a manual typewriter.
The tiger leapt on the man with the newspaper, and ate him up. The tiger did not bother the other man at all. That's because any predator knows that readers digest but writers cramp.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

A real post? when?oh wait maybe not.....
There was a long long time ago..... ok so three days is not so long. A man goes to the movies with a friend and they banter about life. The movie itself is of aliens and action and men wearing black. It was fun it was saddening..... What is the purpose of cussing?
Opening credits....."cuss" "cuss" ..... all throughout, cussing...... ok for pg-13. Innuendos of sex,, cross dressing, just nonsense. why?
It's easy to laugh along with jokes, some are pretty hilarious. Yet like boiling a frog, turn up the heat little by little, our consciousness' are boiling and dying. Shoot, I'm not old, but even a few years back, the cussing was not as bad. Yet now it's prevalent even in pg movies or innuendo. It's scary Dan, how many things you probably laughed at that were not right. Where are the morals, the ability to be entertaining without adding the trash?
There is a verse : 1 Peter 5: 8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
or maybe this helps Ephesians 6: 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
What's it mean? It means instead of fighting with guns and knives, beating up our hands and bodies, we are at war with arrows and bombs and illness of the mind. That is the truth which leads to the guns and knives. It is a discreet and open war at the same time. discreet in that commercials, supposed family shows, and such are being imbedded with this crud. It's scary, I didn't notice some of it til I spoke to someone and they offhandedly mentioned something of how something had a "double meaning". It's scary because was this double meaning what was meant or what was "added" by the mind of the person. Yet even so, now it has become a part of my memory, the infection has started.
How to remove it? Oh I hope and pray for that. For man is not the all powerful, all knowing he thinks he is.
Be on guard.......
I digress Dan, now bumbling.
Well, God, protect Momma, may she be getting better and tell em to get her outta the hospital if she isn't already, cause there are people who need what she has to give still. How fragile is our strand of life. As always, protect Andrea, and strengthen and protect her and her family. Este corazon que tengo, tiene dolor, y tengo amor por ella. Quiero hacer una pregunta, Senor poderoso, mandame ella. I'm sorry God, it may be weakness or something but the longing and everyday, I beg of this. I'm nothing, this life is nothing God. There has to be something better. Upon my life, remove it if it means one soul is brought to you. If it is one seed planted then do it. Why do you put up with it? All praise and power is yours. than You for hearing such rabble.
Peace, Love, Happiness..... til the end
