"If we cannot believe God when circumstances seem be against us, we do not believe Him at all."

Ah, and it still holds true, "Only boring people get bored".

"Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing you, Lord"

Do your parents ever hit you?
Do your parents ever argue?
Do your parents realize the importance of staying together at all costs?
Do your parents love you?
Do your parents love each other?
Do your parents live together?
Do your parents know you?

A father told his son; "The reason why I have been faithful to your mother for 25 years is because, one, because I love her dearly, and two, because I know that if I were to screw this up, it would follow my kids and grandkids"

That was a wise father indeed!

Politics in a church are not good, although they are probably in every church in America. Some pastors can make a point or stress and opinion and then spend alot of time backing and supporting their statements that they get off base to the truth of God's word. (and btw, that statement is not directed at either of my two loved pastors).

Word of the day: "Perception"

It's amazing; A person could argue with themselves and try to justify themselves or make themselves feel good about something, merely because of another person. But then again isn't that what our conscience is for? If a person's conscience were to bother them wouldn't that be an indicator of sin? Or at least wrong doing? idk. But it is amusing.

1Peter 3:15-16 "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander."

That's a good reminder for me to watch how I talk about fellow Christians let alone how they talk about me.

My newest pet. A red eared slider. btw, its a turtle

He can't remember
The times that he thought
Does my daddy love me?
Probably not
That didn't stop him
From wishing that he did
Didn't keep him from wanting
Or worshipping him

He guesses he saw him
About once a year
He could still feel the way he felt
Standing in tears
Stretching his arms out
As far as they'd go
Whispering dad
I want you to know

I love you this much
And i'm waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much

He grew to hate him for what he had done
'cause what kind of father
Could do that to his son?
He said 'damn you daddy'
The day that he died
The man didn't blink
But the little boy cried

I love you this much
And i'm waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much

Half way through the service
While the choir sang a hymn
He looked up above the preacher
And he sat and stared at him

He said
'forgive me father'
When he realized
That he hadn't been unloved
Or alone all his life
His arms were stretched out
As far as they'd go
Nailed to the cross
For the whole world to know

I love you this much
And i'm waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much
