Concerning the end times.  I believe we are called to be alert, to watch the signs as we continued to live out our Christian belief.  I believe the "last days" began when Jesus ascended to heaven to return to the Father.  It seems that since the book of Isaiah has been opened in the 1940's and the Jewish people are in their land the clock is moving faster.The point is this, we need not be afraid or have any fear as we see humankind growing further apart from each other and above all further away from God. As God says, when you see all these events happen (Ref. Matthew 24) Look up for your redemption is drawing close. For the skeptics and unbelievers.  There is a 50% probably that everything that the Bible says concerning the end times and Christ's  is going to happen, and 50% that it's not(according to human thinking)

If you believe Jesus died for your sins and ask for His forgivness then you will enter into the presence of God. However if you don't, it means yes you will live forever but you will be seperated forever not only from God but also from family and friends who are believers and are either here now or have already are in the presence of God and all of Own.

At the end of a bloody battle during the Civil War, someone found the following prayer folded in the pocket of dead Confederate soldier:                                                                                              " I ASKED GOD!"

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
  I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.                    I asked for health, that I might do greater things;                                    I was given infirmity, then I might do better things.                        I asked for riches, that I might be happy;                                                I was given poverty, that I might be wise.                                    I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men;                          I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.              I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life;                                        I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.                                  

 I got nothing I asked for, but everything I had hoped for.        Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.            I am, among men, most richly blessed.

Well, the election for our new president is over. Old things are passing away and all things are indeed becoming new.  Put your seat belt on, it may be a bumpy future.  Keep in mind no one is in any political office that God has not allowed to be there.  Also, the Lord gives and can take away just a quickly. We do need to be in agreement and pray for this great country and pray for all those who are in office and especially the newly elected as they serve in positions of leadership world, state, and local governments.

  

An Ode to Summer (Finally) Ending

Dan Pearce

The world got warm, then

The closer summer was the more excited we got

 

So many more fun-filled packed days with my child

We’d go places and do things and live rather wild

 

Vacations, and road trips, and sight seeing galore

Sun lines, sun tans, and sun burns; we’d be sore

 

Fishing, and skating, and picnics, and hiking

Theme and amusement parks, movies, and biking

 

Evening walks in the park and night rides in the hills

Life without homework, we’d lay out, we’d just chill

 

We talked and we planned until summer did come

Then we did all of it and more, we had so much fun

 

The world got friggin’ hot, then way hotter still

We laughed, and we wrestled, and downed food off the grill

 

We played and we played ’til our energy was gone

We had late nights and pizza nights, yes we had all the fun

 

And routine slipped from my grasp as the world grew hotter

And my brain became fried, my energy eventually slaughtered

 

By the end I was stretched so damned very thin

I wondered if summer would ever fucking end

 

And the minutes I so recently counted down to this season

I now counted down for a much different reason

 

“I’m all funned out now,” I just want to scream out

“I want routine back,” I just wanted to shout

 

Yet I smile and I laugh and I have more fun with my son

As the final days approach before summer’s finally done

 

Because summer is that one special time of the year

To which my son will look back and so fondly cheer

 

And remember the fun, and the life lessons too

The long talks and long walks and the trips to the zoo

 

I never will tell him just how stressful it gets

To somehow add it all in and make the rest of life fit

 

And we’ll start counting down for next summer to come

And we’ll make make next year be just as equally fun

 

But damned if I don’t confess to you all…

That it’s time to say, “goodbye summer! Hey, fall!”

                                                      Dan Pearce

It won't be long until the election will be in the history books. We have heard so much from both sides and beyond. As I think about it I can't help reflect upon my basic understanding of the faith I hold on to. That is to say, "There is not anytime in the past, present, or future that anyone has ever filled the office of president of the U.S. (Or any other country of the world without God allowing it so). With saying that I believe God can remove a person just as quick as they were put into office. So no matter how it turns out God will oversee them and care for appropiately. So after seeking God's direction as to who I should vote for I will do my duty as a citizen and cast my vote for whom I believe will serve best as President of this great country. God bless the U.S.A.

For most their personal thought management is very healthy, however, for many "personal thought management" is not even on the radar. For many they constantantly think about time management, weight management, personnel management, and even scalp management. But what about thought management? Shouldn't we be as concerned about managing our thoughts as much as we do about managing other things. Jesus did.
