Just Thinking

Just thinking again,well I do that allot actually. I find myself taking a pause many times in the day to ponder something. This morning I had one of those pondering moments as I was reading the word, and thinking about things. I was reading in Ephesians 5 when that thought you see over there hit me. In Ephesians Paul teaching or warning us to stay on track, or not get into things that will mess us up. I think that Paul was seeing this same thought and was moved by the Holy Spirit to record some "inspired thoughts" for a much larger group that what he intended, but Paul responding to a danger that would contaminate the church wrote those words.

Just thinking, but how did we get into this mess? The USA, a country founded on Gods' principles, and filled with markings of a Godly nation, and filled with Godly people. "Godly people" has to be the weak link in that above phrase. We have somehow allowed that "we" in the phrase "In God we trust" to become in question. Can we without a doubt say that we are a Godly nation, or say as a nation,  In God we trust? 

I know that I need to start in my own heart and mind keeping my foundations solid and clear. I need to demonstrate to my world that yes their is a God and that Jesus died for mine and your sins. Our Nation, families, and lives are messed up. 

"Greater in He that is in me than he that is in the world"

Let that thought rule your life and everything else has to fall to its knees.

Have a wonderful day.

We offer this place of refuge for many children, but it is so sad that our services are needed. Cute on the outside but pain, anger, and confusion on the inside. What we offer these little ones is so important for them. What God restores or adds into these lives only he knows, but restoration occurs. God is good and faithfull. He brings to us those he chooses for His reasons. Irma and I give of our lives as God has directed us to do. Please support our work as our work is extreemly important to them. 
God bless and have a wonderful day!

Just thinking!

I like to read the news; seeing what is going on in the world, and it is at times interesting, funny, but for the most part sad. It is sad when I read about so many different places in the USA that are taking God out of whatever; a song, a speech, a place,  on and on goes the list. Just today I was thinking and remembering the account of Jesus being rejected by his people. To me it seems as though we are drawing close to the point of a modern day crucifixion scene. Nowadays it is unthinkable to nail someone to a cross. Of course we would not allow an unthinkable thing like that. Really though what is the difference? Jesus is being rejected and crucified in our modern civilized day and age as the world looks on. 

Will God allow another crucifixion?

Looks are deceiving!
Irma and I took a trip to Mexico City with one of the Casa boys and as is true everywhere one will find unique things to eat. On the bus ride home we stopped to eat, and I went to one eating place I saw this tortilla and asked if they had a normal flour tortilla. They said no and I moved on to the next stand but to my dismay they offered the same type of tortilla. I was hungry and saw many people eating this "thing" so I ordered two of them. To my delight they were very tasty as I enjoyed every bite along with my Coke, not seen in the picture but just to set the proper scene it was there.
We find ourselves doing this in many circumstances, making judgments on what we see then what we think about it. This happens unfortunately with relationships. We reject someone because of a negative thing about them that does not appear to me very "right".
We need to look at others with eyes of love. Maybe we were put in their path to be an impact, or maybe more correctly they were put in our path to better our lives. Hey, have a great day!

Joy in the courtyard!
Irma and I attended an event in front of the Governors palace here in Tepic. It was a time of joy, thanksgiving, and proclaiming peace and blessing upon our land and government. There was a good turnout from the churches here in the city. Much joy and music. A good reflection of Jesus to our government.
Blessings and have a wonderful day!
