I am seriously (smile!) considering calling Kiki of Schneiderman’s and telling her: “Quick! We have to change the color of the new office chair Duane and I ordered!” Why? The color is chocolate! Can  I cope?! Yes! Because:   Philippians 4:13 AMP I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses…..

  The woes of so many? Trying to put words in God’s mouth…   Selah.       HERE IS THE ANSWER! Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.    …..

I need a new beach towel, so I started looking online… This great thought came to me: “We have it wrong.

God wants your spirit in Heaven!      …..

  Did you ever lift your hands to praise the Lord at church… and then see someone you want to stick your tongue out at?   Understandable!       2 Timothy 3:1-5 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form…..

I wouldn’t miss the rapture for the world!       Mark 8:34-38 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.  For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.  What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?  Or what…..
