Yipes It is Skype!

We live in a world of connection and disconnection.  Some of these connections are delightful and life giving, and others are dyfuntional an problematic.  Yesterday, and a few days before, I connected in ways I have never done with my family.  Vicki and I "rang them up."  That is right.  We opened up my handy dandy little old apple computer, and after we connected, I had before my very eyes those precious grandchildren and children.  As we talked, the picture was so vivid and real that our little granddaughter, Alex wanted "Mac" and me to tickle her feet.  Now they are about 1000 miles away, and yet we could see them face to face in a moment in the twinkling of an eye.  We also got to talk with Grace & Jack and later talked with Zac and Julie.  

The big experiment came when we tried to connect with my Dad in  Alabama (The Birmingham area.)  Usually a phone call with him lasts only a few minutes and he is ready to go. Hi focus is not what it use to be.  His memory has declined.  His speech is slowed, and he simply cannot hear, but this time it was different.   This time he stayed with us, and he grinned from ear to ear the whole time.  My youngest sister, Audrey, was there, and she facilitated the camera on that end.  Some of the staff came into the room and saw us.  Now they might just start up  a new agenda for helping their other elderly patients see their children hundreds of miles away.  Again... it only took a moment... A twinkling of an eye for that which had never happened before to happen to us for the first time.

Now for this to work, the other person on the end of the cyberspace line must be ready and waiting for when we call.  If they are not, there will be no connection.  No seeing each other face to face.

One day Jesus will be coming again.  I do not know the day or the hour, but He will be coming.  It will happen in a moment and in the twinkling of an eye.  Those who are ready and waiting for His "Call"  will see Him face to face and all the loved ones who have gone to heaven.  Those who are not ready and waiting for the call will sadly miss the connection.

God calls you today.  He calls to you everyday.  One day the final call will happen.  The 3 big  questions are:    "Are  you ready? Are you waiting?  Will you answer the call."  If you do, He will "light up your life" and you will be grinning from ear to ear as you see the Lord and all your loved ones face to face.  Make good choices.  Be ready, waiting and connecting.

Be Blessed 2day... Especially 2day.

    Well put. I use IM and have Skype but have never really used it because I don't have a cam with my PC. Luckily for me god doesn't need any fancy hardware or even a computer to connect the call for us.

    Also on a side not I didn't know you were a grand-dad. How old is she? Grace and Jacks I presume?

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
