For The Moment…21

We have complete coverage wherever we are or wherever we go. Because the Lord is our shield and buckler.

A shield is large and can be placed as a barrier to stand behind when perjectiles such as arrows are launched.

A buckler is smaller. It is personal protection used in close hand to hand combat.

For those who trust in the Lord, he is our protector, our shield, and our buckler. We are covered from whatever the enemy will try to do to us, whether it is an attack on our mind with depression or sorrow. It could come as an attack on our finances through loss of employment. It does not matter what, but we need to put the Lord first and trust him. He will be our champion.

He is a present help in times of trouble, and he knows them that trust in him. ( Psalm 46 verse 1)

Now is not the time

If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

They love to play with the ball, bouncing and fetching. It is so much fun to watch them go for the ball. Really, they want to play morning, noon, and night. Have a care; I am only human, and I need my sleep.

I would love to make them understand, i will play, but not all the time.

Breaks are needed for humans.

Is there a dog union?

Do you think they will listen if I picket?

The Lord is:

  • My rock
  • My fortress
  • My Deliverer
  • My God
  • My strength
  • My buckler
  • The horn of my salvation
  • My high tower

He is altogether lovely. (Psalm 18 verse 2 and Solomon 5 verse 16)

Jemima and I am proud of it

Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

My name is Jemima, but most times, I shorten it to Jem. Jem is also short for Jemima, Esther, and Maureen, an encapsulation of all my names.  It isn’t because I hate the name, but I hate the jokes that follow the name. Besides, only my friends call me Jem. Growing up in a predominately white neighborhood and being black with this name was not easy with all the Aunt Jemima pancake jokes.  The food box with the big black woman on the cover. People could be so ignorant. But I never shortened my name in public. Too bad for them, huh?

Jemima is of Hebrew origin, meaning a dove.

My parents named me from the Bible, like one of Job’s daughters in the book of Job chapter 42 verse 14.  In 19th century England, it was a popular name. Throughout history and today, a number of women had and have this name.

It is a good and wonderful name to have, and I love it.

A Writer…

What’s your dream job?

Not just a writer( romantic suspense with a dash of horror) but one who could spin a good tale where people will enjoy, and I sell a ton of books.

I love storytelling, the art of it from the beginning to the end. It keeps me up late at night, boggles my mind, and keeps me at the edge of my seat with worry, but I love it.

For The Moment…19

Out of the mouth, the heart speaks. (Matthew 12 verse 34)

Let the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strenght, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19 verse 14)

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. ( Proverbs 28 verse 7)

Early Morning

Compassion For All

What makes a good leader?

A good leader is someone who listens to both sides and views the situation, concern, event, problem, or conflict from every angle before making a decision. This leader has to be ethically sound by not practicing favoritism but is fair.

Friendship does not cloud the mind, although kindness, and understanding are always shown.

Of course, a good leader has weaknesses, but this leader can not dwell on them in order to illicit sympathy. This person is human and will fail from time to time but is strong enough to own up to their wrongs and move on.

They need to lead with honesty and the fear of God in doing what is right.

For The Moment…18. Is there anything impossible for God?

He gives power to the faint

We all have limitations. There are places we cannot go and things we cannot do without supernatural help. We have the potential to exceed our imagination, but some things are impossible to do. However, with God, everything is possible. No one is greater than God. No one is like Him. He is God, the Holy One. His power is vast. He is infinite. The Creator who rides on the wings of the wind. Who called into existence things that did not exist. The One who loves us first when we are unable to love. The One who cannot deny himself because He is Love. (Matthew 19 verse 26, Jeremiah 32 verse 17, Genesis 18 verse 13)

9 to 5 Work…

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

There must be an easier way to make a living. Wake up early, get ready for work, go to work crushed in traffic or on transit, get told off at work by clients, the boss, the backstabbing coworkers, inhale your lunch cause you have a mandatory last minute meeting, finish a long day worried you missed something important, get home exhausted, sleep through supper, then fall into bed to wake the next morning and do it all over again.

I love my job…

For The Moment …18 the After Life

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness. Oh, death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory?

After life, there is life, which is an eternal life. Where will you spend eternity? Will it be in Hell with the Devil and his angels in a place where the fires are not quenched in torment forever? Or will you be in Heaven with God and His only begotten son? Jesus Christ, who came to die, was buried and rose again. This same Jesus who gave his life for you so that you can live forever in glory. Accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and be saved from an eternity in Hell. Owing Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life is the only way to salvation and life after death. ( Psalm 17 verse 15, 1 Corinthians 15 verse 55)
