We are visiting family and attending their adult church class. During prayer time I hear a voice say,
"e need to pray for my brother-in-laws old car that it will make it to Florida."
We have had to jump start it every morning for a week. The next morning it starts right up. It starts the next two days and we arrive safely in Sarasota.
"We can be confident that God will listen to us whenever we ask for anything in line with
his will." 1John 5:14

God gave me two words.
September 26, 2013
Joy talked with a friend, who was in a bad place, for an hour. As the woman approached our front door to leave, I asked God what I should say to her. Two words came to mind and I whispered them in her ear as we hugged goodbye. A week later, she told Joy she acted on the two words I said to hear and it made all the difference, I had whispered, "Tell God."
"Now a word secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper of it."(Job 4:12)

Are thoughts from God...from God?
September 24, 2013
When we have a thought while praying, is it from God? How do we know? The Bible gives us
an answer.
"By this you know the Spirit of God. Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in
the flesh is of God and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh
is not from God." (1John 4:2-3)

God urges paying a Parking Ticket
September 17,2013
I received a parking ticket today and I was upset about it. A wise friend
told me he pays a parking ticket right away. "Otherwise," he said, "if I
fuss over it, then it ends up costing me a lot more than the fine."
That tip turns out to be 2,000 years old. To wit:
"Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God
the things that are God's." (Matthew 22:21)

God's French Exam Gift
September 16,2013
I needed to pass French to obtain my college degree. I spent a week with my tutor translating the
same four paragraphs until I got it right. The next day was the dreaded exam .I opened the exam booklet and stared in disbelief. It was the same four paragraphs I'd been translating. It was a gift.
" The Lord's love endures forever, Praise the Lord...Psalm 117

9/11 revisited
September 12, 2013
Hard to believe it has been 12 since that fateful day. We all gathered at church that evening to pray.
I pray at home that we will become one nation under God and not forget who really is in charge.
"Come and let us return to the Lord;
For he has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken ,but He will bind up."
(Hosea 6:1)

Game Plan for Life
September 10, 2013
Sat in an auditorium this morning with 800 plus, listening to Hall of Fame Coach
and Race Team owner Joe Gibbs. He said, "A win in football starts with a game
plan. In racing it starts with a race plan. The same goes for life. My experience
has taught me that the only winning game plan for life is God's game plan and
it starts with the Bible."
Good call coach.

Just a Poem to Emulate
September 9, 2013
Just to be tender, just to be true
Just to be glad the whole day through,
Just to be merciful, just to be mild.
Just to be trustful as a child:
Just to be gentle, kind and sweet,
Just to be helpful with willing feet...
Just to let love be our daily key,
That is God's will for you and me.
