THE ULTIMATE QUESTION

How many times have you sat there in wonder? How many times did think of the love? How many times do  you see that I love you? How many times is an expression just an expression?

Questions some may ask, but do you have the answers? Think about this for a bit, do you know the answers to the ultimate questions? Perhaps you don't, but you could find out...

Look around you, what do you see, (no not the clutter, I am talking about the world). You see the birds, you see they do not worry, you see the flowers bloom in the spring, what beauty.

You have to ask your self how can this be just a random chance. Your life is not about randoms. You parents meet, they marry, they conceive you, your born, you grow up, you meet the one you are to marry, you marry, you conceive, you give birth, you sit in wonder of the creation, a baby.
Is this the randomness of the world or is this a ultimately planned universe.

I think there is a plan it is called God's plan. You see nothing is random, God has a plan for you, and if you choose to follow that plan it is totally up to you.

So the question, the ultimate questions is...Do you think that you can live  your life without Christ being the Centre?

Smile Because Jesus Love You

WOW Got out of that one. There were 1200 people at the Jury Duty selection. Out of these 1200 people they were trying to select 12 people to sit on this Jury. That's 1% of those that were there. I was able to be excused (Thank you Jesus).

Grad is coming oh so close only 10 more days. This is a major change in the lives of the graduates. My son is one of those people. You know that we are commanded by God to train a child in the Godly ways.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.

We as parents have this responsibility to train. When the time comes the young person the Grad becomes will be able to make their own choices. Now will they all be the right choice, usually the parents will have a say if it is, but ultimately if they make the wrong choice they will have to pay the consequences of that choice.

We have a awesome God who takes care of us and keeps us. Keep your eyes on Him today and remember to Smile Because Jesus Love You!

Jury Duty

Well today I go to the Conexus Arts Centre to do my Civic Duty. I have been summoned for Jury Duty. I wish that I was not summoned but now that I am I will go. (Well if I don’t go it is off to the crowbar hotel for a spell, you see not showing up is a violation of the court and you will be arrested for not going).

So the process goes like this. You show up for your summons day and then you either are selected or not selected to sit on the Jury. If you are not your are dismissed and you can go home. If you are selected then, depending on the trial, you have to stay to start proceedings if the court is that day. (The court date is usually preset).

So if I am selected and consequently selected for a jury, then I may not be able to blog. I do not know what the nature of the trial will be so therefore I could be sequestered.

So having said all that, I want to leave you with something that you may find interesting. The preacher at church yesterday was talking about things in life that may trip you up or give you cause to be grieved. Well in retrospect I was thinking of all the things that get in your way as you try to live your life for Christ. You try and try, and ultimately fail as it is you trying and not giving it up to Jesus. Jesus I give you all my issues.

Hebrews 10:23-25(NIV)
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

We have an opportunity to affirm what God has done for us. We can trust him to keep His promise. As we do this we will be able to help each other in what we do and say, and will be less likely to hold a grudge or have ill intent towards one another.

So today will be a challenge, if I am selected for Jury Duty, then I will do my best. I will keep Jesus the centre.

God Bless you today as you Keep Jesus the centre of your day.

God is in control!!!

Do you ever think that the world will come to an end? I don't think about it that much but I did watch the movie 2012 and it seems a bit far fetched to me. I mean there is not reference to the end of the earth in 2012 in the Bible and I know my God is in charge of everything on this earth.

If you want to believe in the Mayan ways then I will pray for you to see the light. Jesus is the answer not some ancient religion that misleads people.

The bible says we will not know the day or the hour that Jesus will return. It does not speak to total destruction of this world. I think the Creator of this earth would know. He made it all with a single word so in my thinking this is good enough for me.

Matthew 24:36 (New American Standard Bible)

36"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

Mark 13:32 (New American Standard Bible)
 
32"But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
 
So the best thing is not to worry about it cause God is in control!!!

ARE YOU OBSESSED BY SOMETHING?

Great Article:

Are you obsessed by something? You will probably say, “No, by nothing,” but all of us are obsessed by something— usually by ourselves, or, if we are Christians, by our own experience of the Christian life. But the psalmist says that we are to be obsessed by God. The abiding awareness of the Christian life is to be God Himself, not just thoughts about Him. The total being of our life inside and out is to be absolutely obsessed by the presence of God. A child’s awareness is so absorbed in his mother that although he is not consciously thinking of her, when a problem arises, the abiding relationship is that with the mother. In that same way, we are to “live and move and have our being” in God ( Acts 17:28 ), looking at everything in relation to Him, because our abiding awareness of Him continually pushes itself to the forefront of our lives.


If we are obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives— not concerns, nor tribulation, nor worries. And now we understand why our Lord so emphasized the sin of worrying. How can we dare to be so absolutely unbelieving when God totally surrounds us? To be obsessed by God is to have an effective barricade against all the assaults of the enemy.

“He himself shall dwell in prosperity . . .” ( Psalm 25:13 ). God will cause us to “dwell in prosperity,” keeping us at ease, even in the midst of tribulation, misunderstanding, and slander, if our “life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). We rob ourselves of the miraculous, revealed truth of this abiding companionship with God. “God is our refuge . . .” ( Psalm 46:1 ). Nothing can break through His shelter of protection.

(from my uttmost for His highest)

Sitting here thinking

Sitting here thinking what to write about and nothing is coming to mind and time is ticking away....

If you read this today perhaps you can email me a subject for me to blather on about. that way it will be interesting.

Have a great day all.

Moving on from this time in Life

We see many young people moving on from this time in their live to the next. There will be many challenges and many changes and many choices. We need to pray for those young people so that they make the right choices in life.
I have posted this before, but I think it is most relevant for this time of year as we see young people moving on from high school to their walk in life, whatever that may be.

CHANGES

In our lives we see many changes

Changes that we have no control over

We may see them coming and be prepared

However, they come and go and we stopped and think

Wow that wasn’t so bad.

Other times we see that the change made

A drastic difference in our lives

May help us in a decision for the good or bad

One thing is for certain

We have to live with it

When we look back at our life of the previous year

We see many many changes

We wonder to ourselves

“What difference did the changes make in our lives”

Did we affect the change to better ourselves?

Or did we affect the change to better someone else

We may look back and see that we had many an opportunity

Consider the paths of people we crossed

Did we tell them of Jesus?

Or did we pass them by

And wonder why we didn’t say anything

And we wonder if they knew or know Christ

We may never know in this life but in the next we sure will find out

As you look into the events of this past year

You may wonder if I wasn’t here what would have been

Did I make a difference or was I just someone in the background where I don’t matter

In the Kingdom of heaven YOU DO matter

All the Angels Rejoiced when you made the decision to follow Christ

So as you see someone made a difference in your life when they told you about Christ

So go out and do the same… tell people, everyone you meet on the street, bus, and plane, and everywhere

you go strike up a convo and tell them about your life with Christ

You see there is one thing for sure that we all can count on

And that is that God our Father, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit

Are and have been and EVER will be the same

So when you ponder your life you will see that Christ is the same

Yesterday, today and tomorrow

He is the Alpha and the Omega

The Beginning and the Ending

He is your consistency

He is your guide to follow through your life with Him as your guide

Then you won’t have to wonder what your life will be like

Just look to Jesus
