Back finaally

Well a long over due post> Well it's been quite a year since I last posted, many not so great things have happened. It is odd how you can be merrily going down lifes path and be hit by problems.It has been one year 2 moths roughly since I found out I had Cancer, make a long story short a great surgion and even greater prayer all is well. But wait there is more no just kidding. It sort of jolts you into reality in a hurry, and you realize to exp[ect the unexpected, even a bad reaction to the chemo , still all in all God Is AWSOME! At this point there is no Cancer in sight.The one thing I have decided through all this is that even when all is bad dont stray from your beliefs,but rememberr you are in his hands no matter what the outcome and be ready to accept what ever that may be. Hope all is well with everyone, will try to stay a little more active on the blog.

As I was sitting I started thinking what are our rights as Christians? To my very surprise a very simple answer came to mind, NONE! as Christians we only have our Father's blessing, promises and invitation to follow Him. there for nothing else matters; so goodbye all these preconceived rights, hello to relying on our Heavenly Father for all things .

I seem to be getting a little lax in my blogging. Over the last little while I have been learning more end more the importance of good christian fellowship is. There are the good old acquaintances, but that is not what I am referring to, not that there is anything wrong with this aspect of christian life. The ones that stand by us and don't believe stories about us,before they hear from you, then make there decision, in an honest and informative way. They don't turn their back on things and still remain friends even if you are wrong, they try to support and guide you through the hard times, You are always in their prayers and thoughts. If an en-pass is reached and all else fails, you both have lost, there is no winner. So if this occurs be enough of a christian brother to keep on praying for them no matter what, God knows and he is The Judge.

It's Christmas season once again and after a number of years of being the Christmas grinch I have finally figured out why about two weeks or more before Christmas I had a very bad attitude to the point of ridiculousness. It is quite simple I was always expecting things to be better at this time of year, and because I thought that the world was going to be a better place I was disappointed. So with out realizing over a period of time I developed this attitude at a very young age and tucked it away for this time of year, and yes there are all the old arguments, however there are somethings people like me have to sort out for themselves.The point of this hole thing is we should have a look at what we are teaching our kids in what Christmas is. What ever it is to you as an individual you must decide which way to or not to spend your time at Christmas and what your  actions are saying to others around you.If you are a parent then you know what joy a new born in the family should bring, it's generally a time of rejoicing. We should get that same feeling toward Christmas, even if we celebrate it as a Christian or as a traditional Christmas. then again if it is just party time then why bother you can do that anytime anywhere, and if you don't believe in Christmas it really doesn't matter to you at all.

I was not going to post this but I just feel it has to be. Recently I read a young lady"s blog about the people being insensitive to others in distress. Well a couple of days after I received a letter from someone who is going through a very hard time financially and spiritually as well as health wise. Fortunately they are very strong in their walk with God. They received a  word of wisdom from some person that they every one has troubles so get over it. Hmmm Unfortunately this may have come from a Christian.The word and thought behind this little ditty lack in both Christian and intellectual understanding.

Why can't we accept people for who they are and what they are, and let God work in their lives instead of trying to push them along? Try praying them into Christianity rather than forcing, coercing, or entertaining them in. Maybe standing with them when they ask.

A better person

What makes a person think that they should try to be a better person?

Why is it when we think we have it all put together we find out we don't?

Answers

Why do we think we have all the answers when the only ONE that does is God?

Salesmanship

Were is the line drawn between having a service that is exciting god filled with out any props and one of the same with all the bells and whistles, and everything has to be just so. When does it become selling faith an were does the line cross from doing the best with all we have in serving the Lord?
