What a Dissapointment

 So I am watching this video with a smile on my face thinking, oh what a sweet man, what a good message, I love it.  The message is great and it drew me in...UP UNTIL THE LAST FEW SECONDS!!!!  Very sad to say it is not the Spirit of God that He is in tune with. 


Just in case the video does not come up...click here


“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.”  Matthew 7: 15

We joke about it......but really it's SAD!!

One of Daddy's Favorites Songs.

 Singing our praise songs tonight and they wanted to sing Daddy's favorite.  I had to record this cause it was melting my heart!!!

I Need To Get Over Myself

It's about loving your neighbor as yourself.

God of Wonders

God you are a God of wonders.  You are a sovereign God with a great and glorious plan. You breathed life into me and set a path before me.  When I ponder your massive creation and even think for one second that I have the right to stress or fear anything I realize I have made you smaller than my puny brain.  Forgive me for my wondering thoughts.  I pray that I would take every opportunity to look around me and appreciate your mighty hand and trust you daily with YOUR creation.  You are Holy and I say that with great respect because I can't even begin to understand your holiness!  I am humbled you would call me your own.  Today tomorrow and forever is yours and I fear not. 

Special Treat For Mother's Day

It was a special treat for Mothers Day to dedicate our sweet baby Madi to the Lord in front of witnesses. 
Madi: A High Tower
Elizabeth:  Oath of God 
Her scripture verse:  The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God.  Psalm 18:2

Someone at my husbands work gave this movie to us.  He said "You've got to watch this movie, it is soooooo good".  Of course it peaked my husbands interest and too, we have heard from a lot of people, even believers that the movie was really great.  Soooo we watched it last night.  I knew I was going to struggle throughout the movie cause I am such a realist and Fiction movies are not my thing.  Boy did I ever struggle!!!!  In so many ways.  Everything about this movie is wrong.  I am not a film critic and I never could be, but you don't need to be a film critic for this one, being a Christian with bit of discernment will do.


People in this lost world want to believe in something so bad........ just not Jesus.  We have friends that believe in aliens, not Jesus.  We also have friends who are so earthy, don't kill a tree/ save the animals.... extremist (don't hear me wrong on this, I believe we are to steward the earth God gave us) but this movie will only encourage that type of extreme thinking. 


Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. Colossians 3:2


As heaven and earth are contrary one to the other, both cannot be followed together; and affection to the one will weaken and abate affection to the other.  ~Matthew Henery


To say the least this movie is from the pit of hell.  I know I am going to ruffle some feathers out there with this one but this movie has the potential to draw people further from the truth and that to me is demonic.  I know these statements are strong but what else would you call it?  This movie deals with false worship/ idols, becoming one with the earth and animals.  I know some believers will say, "but it's James Cameron and he is not a believer" and "it is just suppose to be a fun movie with great affects."  If you are a believer saying that, please do not say that to the unbelieving world.  Let the unbelieving world know why this movie is fiction and not just because it has blue people in it.


What also bothered me about the movie....... it makes the Govt. look like the bad guys.  Do I agree with the Govt. we have right now.....no, but we as believers are called to honor and pray for our Govt....... not rebel. 


A lot of believers have seen this movie and I have not heard bad things about it, which is sad.  Good comments have cycled all over Facebook, believers and non believers.  I am not seeing the difference between the believing world and the non-believing world.  These are great opportunities we need to take hold of!!!!!


I do believe God can use anything to bring Glory to Himself...ANYTHING!  This movie is a good example.  I just hope the Christian will be ready to explain why this movie does not sit well with him.


I don't agree with everything Marc Driscoll has to say but this one we are in agreement.......




Tolerance is the virtue of a man with out conviction.  ~G.K. Chesterton

Our worship songs

Have you ever heard the story behind these hymns.  This one is amazing!  The short of it is...43 yr. old Horatis Spafford , lawyer lived in Chicago w/ wife Anna and his 5 children.  In 1871 his only son died.  Months later the Great Chicago fire consumed his entire life savings.  2yrs later he decided to take a family vaca. to Europe.  He sent his wife and four daughters on ahead because of a business delay, he would catch up a few days later.  Nov. 22, 1873 the ship sank in 12 minutes and 226 people were killed.  His wife Anna sent a message to her husband stating "saved alone, what shall I do?"  Spafford left to bring his wife home.  While sailing back with his wife the captain let him know he was near the place of his daughters' death.  He went to his room and proceeded to write the words to the hymn "It Is Well With My Soul"
