For some reason John Kerry just doesn't seem like a good candidate for president of the greatest nation on God's green earth. Basically he just hears Bush's side of the arguement and takes the other side. At this time in our nation we do not need a Liberal like John Kerry in office. Since we are already in Iraq, we cannot just 'pull out' like Kerry wants us to. We cannot redefine the institute of marriage, like Kerry wants us to. Oh, and I think Ted Kennedy is John Kerry's puppet. Ted Kennedy has nothing to lose, he is on his way out and no one really gives a hoot about him. He says all the things that a presidential candidate wants to say, but can't! Way to go U.S. troops for bombing the mosque, I say screw the place of worship if you are using it for a rebel hideout!
Ok, that is all the politics for today.
Finally got the Creation Newsletter done and sent out. Wow, June is fast approaching. I heard today that Tronster is having a house party on April 17th. I think i knew that before tho.. But I am assuming that there will be alcohol at this one too, that sucks. I'm not sure why he does have it there. We, as Christians, know that we can have a good time with out using substances. I'm not trying to assume his point, just scratching my head and typing with one hand, thats all. But April 17th is also the opening day of trout season in Pennsylvania, hmmm, maybe some good clean pennsylvania fun with my cousins in the woods. We could always blow our fish up with M80s when we catch them.. No, Jeff, leave the Myers instinct home for that day. Sigh, ok! As I read on I think, how depressing! I'll have to stop subjecting myself to the depressing writings. Realizing how very important is is to stay connected to Christ! Not jus in words, but in deeds! John 2:20-24 "You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”and he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone." That completely throws out the window the false teaching that you only need one moment of saving faith and then you are saved for all eternity!! Faith without deeds is dead, A dead faith can save no one!! If that is true, what do they think that the must do some faithful deed while they are having their saving moment of faith? Insane! I think that if a person truly wants to live God's will, they will lose all their selfish thoughts, and totally give in to God! You cannot live your life how you want to then still expect to enter Heaven. God's word says that it is a life of continuous faith. If we are 'in Christ' we will show fruits of the spirit. And anyone who does not produce fruit [of the Spirit] will be cut off and thrown in the fire and burned! So I choose to 'continue' in faith in God! Not just a simple faith that no matter what sin I commit and regardless of my repentance that God will save me. Because that is Not true! IF we repent and have faith, we are saved. It truly amazes me that people would actually play with the truth in the Bible to suit their personal preferences. An eternal concept such as salvation and there are still some ppl so stubborn that they refuse to see God's true salvation plan. I guess also that some have never heard the truth and maybe just believe what they grew up believing. But the truth comes through when their beliefs are challenged and they back it with nothing but what seems right or what seems to be common sense.
They slapped a for sale sign on my house today. How exciting is that? I lived here for almost 20 years now and.. ok ill stop! We are praying that God is in control of the new owners and they want us to stay there for another 20 years also! I mean come on, the house has been sold 4 times in 20 years and we have never bothered the owners to fix anything. But I think the property taxes will go up because they just appraised it. Hmmm I wonder what it is worth.. prob like 100,000. or more.. idk.. i'd like to find out. But anyway, what would i do with my poor fishies if we moved.. put them in little baggies until the new house? OK forget taht. We are praying about it and we know that a prayer offered in faith in an answered prayer. Our prayer includes "Not my will but Yours, God". If it is not God's will for us to stay, then we are out!
Time to read. Speaking of which, I need a bookcase to hang on my wall. Please give me one.
