Food for Thought

the rock of Israel said to me:
When one rules over men in righeousness, when he rules in the fear of God, he is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightnesss after rain that brings the grass from the earth.
2 Samuel 23:3-4

Shalom, y'all

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory: Thanks, Christin

Faintly you surround me
Faintly you surround me
Faintly you surround me
And I feel your touch
And I feel your touch

The wind in the tree softly whispers
Wind in the tree softly whispers
Wind in the tree softly whispers
And I hear your voice
And I hear your voice

And I worship you, oh Lord my God
And I worship you, oh Lord my God
And I worship you, oh Lord my God

"Faintly" from; For Your Mercy, Live worship: Vineyard music


Shalom, y'all

People say:
In today's workplace, yea in the world today, so many people are constantly scrambeling to "prove" that they are the authority, the best, most knowledgable, etc.They are like children argueing in a schoolyard.
God says:
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abase; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Matthew 23:12

Shalom, Y'all

"Before you start nullifying the covenants of God and replacing the Jewish people with your particular Gentile Brand of Christianity, look up at the sky the next time it rains.
The rainbow covenant is still with us and so are God's chosen people." K. R. C.

Editors' note: I don't know who K.R.C. is, but she makes a good argument.

Have a Great Day

When the world gets heavy on my shoulders
And I don't think that I can stand any more
You give me strength that I need
To seek your face
And the freedom comes when I choose to be

In the shadow of your wings
Where I trust you Lord with everything
Take me in your arms
Surround me with your love
In the shadow of your wings
In the presence of my God and King
Take me in your arms
Surround me with your love once again.

When my heart is aching
And it's hard to feel you
And I don't think that I can cry any more
You give me faith that I need
To trust in your grace
Because rou're in control
And it's here I'll stay

In the shadow of your wings
Where I trust you Lord with everything
Take me in your arms
Surround me with your love once again.

Shadow of your Wings From the album An Evening of Vineyard Worship

The Bedouin Arabs who call themselves "Palestinians," are Moslem. By rewriting history they would have us believe Moslems have a historical right to Israel and only want what is theirs.
1,200 years before the birth of Mohamed this incident occurred on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
"I bought the field which was at Anatot from Hanamel my uncle's son, and weighed out the silver for him, seventeen shekels of silver." Jeremiah 32:9
This purchase from one Jew by another Jew happened more than a thousand years before the person who founded Islam was born!
History is what it is!
Too bad so many people in the world today only believe what the lazy, holier than thou, historically ignorant, self serving media tell them, rather than study for themselves.
Get it?

Borrow money from a pessimist: They don't expect it back.

Save the whales: collect the whole set.
I drive way too fast to worry about cholosterol.
I intend to live forever; so far, so good.
Thanks, Christen

Rember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

"I'd like to be bigger and more knowlegeable 10 years from now than I am today. I think that, for all of us, as we grow older, we must discipline ourselves to continue expanding, broadening, learning, keeping our minds active and open." .........Clint Eastwood.

It is easy to understand how the world can be in such turmoil if one reads God's word.

"Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and rulers gather together against the
Lord and against the anointed One."

It really is true; "There is nothing new under the sun."

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000.00. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

Now, have a good day

Having a bad day?
Iraqi terroist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb.

Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.

Having a bad day?
A woman came home to find her husband shaking frantically, with some kind of wire running from his waist to the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places.
Until that moment, he had been happily listening to his walkman.

Now! Have a wonderfull day.
