Thanks to Kim for this great reminder! “who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith- of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire- may be proved genuine and may result…
It has been an amazing few days here. Started off in Rome touring all amazing places like where Peter & Paul walked, the Colaseum where gladiators fought and Christians were martyred. Stood where Julius Caesar stood and where Mussolini spoke. Was at Trevi Fountain where Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn made Roman Holiday. Pasta is the dish of choice here, or grilled fish, although any fish you THINK you know what it is, be ready for some surprises! Went to…
Great Bible study, Kim! Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed.” Mark 1: 35 There is a saying I’ve seen in several stores. It says,“Make time for quiet moments as God whispers and the world is loud.” It also says in Psalm 46: 10a, “Be still, and know that I am God.” God is telling us that we need to separate…
Good reminder from Kim for today! “If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s Glory with the Holy Angels.” Mark 8: 38 Whoa!!! Powerful words!! If you think those are cutting words, let us also look at what the Study Bible notes say, “A person who is more concerned about fitting into and pleasing his own ‘adulterous and…
Thanks to Kim for this Bible study. My Dad always taught me to “CHOOSE MY FRIENDS WISELY” because I’d become JUST LIKE THEM! Great wisdom! “A righteous man is cautious in friendship,…” Proverbs 12: 26a Having Christian friends (Brothers and Sisters in the Lord) is a vital part of our walk with God! We need to be very careful in the choosing of our friends! The wrong friends can lead us astray! They can be our downfall! The Lord warns…
Great Bible study from Kim! “Whoever loves money never has money enough;whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.This too is meaningless.” Ecclesiastes 5: 10 The above was written thousands of years ago, but is still relevant for us today!! We all wish we had more money for something!!! At the moment there are many that would like more money to make their house and car payment, put food on the table and/or pay for medical and car insurance!…
Great reminder from Kim – thanks Kim! “Then you will call, and the Lord will answer, you will cry for help, and He will say: HERE AM I!” Isaiah 58: 9a What comforting words, “Here Am I!” What Peace those words bring!! They mean … … He has not forgotten us! … He KNOWS what we are going through! … He already has a plan to bring good out of any pain and suffering! … He will remain with us,…

NEW YEAR 2009 – THE YEAR OF POSSIBILTIES FOR CHANGE I am reading a new book called “The Brain that Changes itself” by Norman Doidge M.D. It was first published in 2007 in the States so it won’t be new for many of you reading this!

This is such a great reminder from Kim! At the present time your PLENTY will SUPPLY what they NEED, so that IN TURN their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be EQUALITY!!!!!!!!.” 2 Corinthians 8: 14 Have you experienced this in your life? Where at times, you are the one who is able to give and/or help someone financially, Spiritually, emotionally, or physically, ….. but then, it is you who needs that help? God tells us in…
So important. Beware of people that leave fractured relationships in their wake! Divisions, strife… beware of people that do not seek peace and ensue it. A great reminder from Kim. “I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they…
