I give thanks

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

The first thing I do is thank the Lord for another day.

Then, if you must know, I relieve myself of stuff. That is private.

First forty five minutes, I pray and read the Bible. I spend time with the Lord. I ask for his guidance with my decisions and my behavior. I also ask for protection for my family and myself throughout the day. I write my thoughts down in my blog, and then I prep for my day.

Sometimes I don’t publish my thoughts but I write them nevertheless.

Simple truth…

He Lives

I serve a risen Savior.

He’s in the world today.

I know that He is living no matter what men may say.

I see His hands of mercy, I hear His voice of care.

None other is so loving, so good and kind.

He lives. He lives. Christ Jesus lives today.

Today, we remember Sunday Resurrection day. Suffered on the cross. Gave up the ghost. Buried and on the third day, God raised  Him from the grave.

He is now seated at God’s right hand in the glory. There, he lives to die no more.

I will serve Him forever.

The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Hebrews 2 verse 9, Luke 24 verse 7, Mark 16 verse 6. Anonymous Hymn

Me

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

At five years old, I wanted to continue to be me. I wanted to laugh to run around and make merry. I wanted to be free and enjoy the sunshine. At the end of the day, I wanted to hug my Mommy and Daddy and beat up my mean sisters.

I love a simple life.

The simplicity of salvation

What’s something most people don’t understand?

It is just a simple prayer to ask the Lord into your heart. Saying the words: Lord, I am a sinner. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and save me.

Easy. Simple. Powerful and life changing for the best forever.

For The Moment…69

In God, will I trust.

He is my rock, solid and sure when troubles come. I can hang onto him, remembering g his promises.

He is my shield. He protects me from the darts of the Devil as he wars against me.

He is my salvation. The Lord has made it possible through his sacrifice for me to be favored by God. I can come into the holy place of God to make requests. I can come to him personally, and he hears my prayers.

In God, do I trust.

Easy…

How has technology changed your job?

In my industry, technology is everything. Going from analog to digital is wonderful. Things are faster, better, and clearer. I don’t need to think so hard. Whenever there is a mistake, I blame the computer.

Can’t live with them and can’t live without them.

Jesus wept.

John 11 verse 35

This is the shortest verse in the Bible, and yet it speaks volumes.

It as we cry, he cries with us. He is touched by our feelings.

He is with us in trouble we go through because he can not deny his love for us. He can not leave us.

He is faithful and will pull us out of the trouble. No matter where we are.

We have nothing to fear knowing he is near.

He stays closer to us than a brother.

He is our shield, and he is our great reward.

We have everything in Christ Jesus.

Saying no is hard

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

Saying no sometimes can be hard. I have never taken stock on how often I say no to things that will interfere with my goals.

However, my time is important to any project I am working on. I must learn to say no and get on with my focus. People are always tugging me in different directions, taking up my time. I need to evaluate, step back, and make a decision.

Hopefully, in that order.

For The Moment…67

God reignite over the heathen: God sitter upon the throne of his holiness.

Psalm 47 verse 8

God is holy, and he reigns. He sits upon his throne, and nothing escapes his notice. In the right time he will put everything straight and in order.

There is no hiding from God. We may run from the east to the west. We may make our bed in hell. He will be there. We can not run from God. There is nothing that escapes him.

He knows all things.

He is holy.

God the almighty.

Jesus…

Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

Yes, I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and his word teaches me how to live a life pleasing to God. 

Humanly speaking, I had an English teacher in high school who encouraged me to be brave. I qualified and participated in my first English literature contest. I didn’t win, but it opened my eyes to see a part of my potential.

The sky is the limit, baby.
