In all their distress He {God-Jesus} too was distressed, and the angel of His presence saved them. In his love and mercy He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them. Isaiah 63:9

"If I have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging symbol..."{the Message says: "If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate."} 1 Corin. 1:13
Music
To Christians: "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:22-24(NIV)
todd agnew, casting crowns, jeremy camp, the daniel doss band, and building 429 are among my favorites now... also, third day, mercy me, nichole nordeman, p.o.d., starflyer 59, and zao and such if i am in a mood... i pray for anguish unsaid and its members to be resurrected... and those thru music who aren't afraid to proclaim their faith in Jesus Christ.
Movies
To Christians: "Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us." 1 Peter 2: 11-12(NIV)
I am watching Christian movies, but I love them because they speak to me, and they nourish my soul & spirit. I know almost no Christians who feel this way & it kind of hurts and confuses me...why do we love these movies so that the world creates who have no need nor love for God? Please think about it...

Television
"As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do-- They think it strange that you do not plunge into the same dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead." 1 Peter 4: 2-5(NIV)

Cannot vote for someone who refuses to salute the American flag, who thinks that the Bible promotes slavery. Keep our freedoms and remember that our freedom has never been free, but fought for!! Vote McCain/Palin '08!!

You are no longer alive, but I pray that God would resurrect you, greater and more powerful than before! And each of these kids lives would be dramatically transformed in an AmAZinG way by Christ!! (We will miss you Pastor Sean but will await in anticipation for our new shepherd!)
Just to let you know, Jesus isn't holding up a sign saying, "You are going to HELL," but rather, "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I {Jesus} have engraved you on the palms of My hands. {the amplified says, "tattooed}" {Matthew 11:28 & Isaiah 49:15,16}
Many of us do not come to God because we have been hurt in this life or have seen others hurt, and we are angry. We may never understand it all, but God wants His love to comfort us during these times. And He also wants us to comfort others with His love who have been hurt too. Just like a plant has to be pruned to grow larger and more beautiful, somehow, in our lives, when things are cut off that hurt, it should instead be an opportunity for us to grow and to seek the comfort of Christ.
If you know someone that has been good at hurting people, and they have had no desire to change, believe me, there will be a due punishment for them, and they will have to answer to God for what they did. But don't let that be a reason for you to be angry with God, and bitter to the world, and to cut you off from God's unending love. Let it instead transform you, and help you to be the person you were created to be who loves instead of hurts others.
Let us stop arguing and bickering over meaningless things, let us unite as one in Christ, and learn to love everyone into His arms. We will all be better for it!

hi. Thanks and God Bless!
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:3-9 ESV)
hi, how have you been? i have missed you, so much has changed, were both moms, huh? we have to catch up, please write back soon, and we can exchange #'s, take care!! leelynn
Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season! December 25th should be one big birthday party for our Savior!
Do you want to give our Savior a gift? Jesus tells us how in Matthew 25:40, "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"
What you give to those who need it the most is what you give to Jesus! How awesome is that?!? You can get Jesus a present!! Do something for someone this Christmas for who is really in need, and tell them Jesus loves them!
Thanks I had fun....Will you guys be at church tomorrow? Jerry said there is a UFC fight on tonight. We should do the potluck soon. Maybe we can talk at church tomorrow.
