This is my entry to the Steven Spielberg Reality Show "On the Lot." www.thelot.com My entry hasn't been posted yet, but here it is:
Strength and Courage, my Brothers
No one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. 6Be strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them. 7Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to act in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may be successful wherever you go. 8This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful. 9I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
- Joshua 1:5-9
From "My Utmost for His Highest"
"Called to be saints." 1 Corinthians 1:2
Thank God for the sight of all you have never yet been. You have had the vision, but you are not there yet by any means. It is when we are in the valley, where we prove whether we will be the choice ones, that most of us turn back. We are not quite prepared for the blows which must come if we are going to be turned into the shape of the vision. We have seen what we are not, and what God wants us to be, but are we willing to have the vision "batter'd to shape and use" by God? The batterings always come in commonplace ways and through commonplace people.
There are times when we do know what God's purpose is; whether we will let the vision be turned into actual character depends upon us, not upon God. If we prefer to loll on the mount and live in the memory of the vision, we will be of no use actually in the ordinary stuff of which human life is made up. We have to learn to live in reliance on what we saw in the vision, not in ecstasies and conscious contemplation of God, but to live in actualities in the light of the vision until we get to the veritable reality. Every bit of our training is in that direction. Learn to thank God for making known His demands.
The little "I am" always sulks when God says do. Let the little "I am" be shrivelled up in God's indignation - "I AM THAT I AM hath sent thee." He must dominate. Is it not penetrating to realize that God knows where we live, and the kennels we crawl into! He will hunt us up like a lightning flash. No human being knows human beings as God does.
Besides the master of the universe, who knows what the future holds? In the meantime, I'll just do what I do and work at it as hard as I can.

We're going to clubber those "no good, cheating New York Yankee's!" Megan says so!! LOL!! =)
YOUNG! How are you? Where have you been? Anyways, please read my blog, "Facebook--What a MESS!" I believe you'll enjoy it very much. Please leave a comment when finished reading it. That shouldn't be too hard to do with what I wrote about it. I see Megan posted it, too.
Hi Sweetie! Please read my bulletin.. and call that number.. and have all your friends do the same. Even repost my bulletin if you want to. The bulletin speaks for itself. My friend Jenna and her family are quite upset a porn site that advertises on myspace posted her pic as someone (Sabrina73) in their industry! Jenna is a close personal friend of mine, practicing christian and missionary. You can imagine how upset all of us are about having her pic posted as such. Thank you! =)
Hi Sweetie! I'm leaving on my mission trip to Honduras. Please keep me and the mission team in your prayers. Don't forget about me when I'm gone... I'll check my mail from time-to-time. And this pic of Toby and I is an old one.. shortly after we first met. So cute! =)
Well Sweetie... myself and Mr. C. sure miss you on myspace. I have facebook, too.. but prefer myspace. I just find facebook boring... and no music.. it seems like a fad.. annd it's fading fast. I see so many coming back to myspace now. They miss the music... and correspondence with their friends here. I have better than a dozen friends who dropped facebook entirely recently.. and just use myspace. I'm rarely on facebook. Mr. C. has no interest of facebook.. he's on LinkedIn instead. =)
Isn't There Anyone Who Knows What Christmas is All About? The best explanation I ever heard was the one Linus gave to Charlie Brown...
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
LUKE 2:8-14
with much love... hugs and smooches... Megan and my Prince Toby =)
I'm doing GREAT... Sweetie! Toby and I have been so busy with the church volunteer program... Toby has 130+ youth from church lined up to volunteer over 2000+ this Christmas season! God is SOOOO AMAZING... and works wonders! The youth are enjoying this so much.. parents are telling me that this has really changed their kids and many asked for much less at Christmas this year... they're understanding the needs are grweat for others.. and decided maybe that somethings aren't as important as they used to be! YEAH!! God touched their heart!
Thanksgiving is a time that one counts their blessings... which are many. A time that one reflects on all the goodness and kindness one recieves from those who are in one's life. One blessing for me... is that you have accepted me for who I am... and befriended me... which I'm very thankful for. Many blessings to you this Thanksgiving. =)
WOW!! You're online... Sweetie! How are you? What have you been doing? Toby and I have been busy lining up the holiday volunteer program for church... lots of fun! =)
