Pray for President Obama Monday May 18th.


Pray for our president. He will be meeting Monday with Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel. They will have some kind of talks about peace in the middle east. I'm truly afraid of what our president is doing on just about every subject. In his own policy statement on the whitehouse.org website speaks of a "two state" option. It has not worked for decades but President O. seems to think he can encourage everyone to just get along. I'm not very optimistic that this will happen. I know that many Jewish folks voted for Obama, but I can't imagine they are happy with the line he is taking with Israel. I feel it is a very important for the safety of America that we make the right decisions regarding Israel.

Randy Alcorn Is AWESOME!!!

I just finished my fifth Alcorn book and I would just like to say WOW! He is absolutely my favorite author. (I'm not comparing his books to the Bible I hope everyone reading my little blog would know that there is no comparison.) Anyways, I just love his books.. Let me share with you about my journey with Randy Alcorn. I have some dear friends in Belmont, MS that read all the time. They always share with me some of their favs and thankfully they shared Randy Alcorn with me.
The first book I read was Safely Home and it is still by far my favorite. This one gave me a small glimpse of Mr. Alcorn's view of Heaven. I don't think i have every read about my eternal home and it come so alive to me.( I wrote about this in an earlier blog post) I then moved on to Lord Foulgrin's Letters. To me it was kind of a modern Screwtape Letters it weaved a vivid story about our enemy's plot to destroy us. Then I read Dominion, Deadline, Deception these books immerse you into the life of about 6 or 7 characters and they all are terrific. Randy is a master of weaving a worldview into his books. He very carefully in narrative form shines the light on just about every viewpoint of difficult issues ranging from racism to abortion. I'm thankful that God has allowed him to share his gift with the world.
The first thing i would read about Randy is a little article in Christianity Today called "Pastor without a Paycheck" Randy was a pastor but the Lord allowed a very difficult chain of events and now we know and love Randy the author, not Pastor Randy. I'm thankful that he was listening and obedient. This is a lot of rambling about my little reading adventure since last September but I hope through this rambling you will discover the great adventure that can be enjoyed by reading Randy Alcorn.....The End......:)

What is going on in the world?


I think sometimes we are all going lazy and crazy. We just sit back and wait and hope for things to happen. I am becoming more positive that as the days of our lives get more wicked we are going to have to stand up and take action. I sickens me to watch our country being dragged through the mud by our current president. In the past months he has paraded around the world and tried to be a rock star and with his popularity tell the world that America is the worst, but he gonna make it all better. I remember a passage I read in an ancient manuscript that said "blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. We continue to slip and slide farther away from that every day. I was thinking this morning how uncertain things are. Then I read O. Chambers this morning and the title was The Graciousness of Uncertainty. He discussed how inclined we are to be mathematical. We need a conclusion we need control. Then he said this and it has help me gain my perspective for the day. "Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life: gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth." I don't know what this presidency will bring. I assure you I'm not optimistic. However, God knows what is going to happen. And if i will simply dive into what he has for me i will be overwhelmed with HIS peace and CERTAINTY. That is all i need. A real and right relationship with Jesus Christ. Make sure my family knows and understands the riches he offers and focus on Him not on the "world affairs".

God is Good.
