A Christ Follower: The Journey

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD!   Psalm 33:12 I am wondering and want to ask some questions:  Why are "Muslim"  countries  identified as Muslim, by our religious/political left,  when they have a 80% plus of Muslims adherents in their country? I am thinking of the largest so called "Muslim" nation, Indonesia. Yet Indonesia has 26,000,000 Christians living there. How is it that our religious left and political left say the U.S. is NOT a Christian country when   83% claim Christianity (Protestant and Catholic) as their own religion? Yet we only have 4 % other religions, according to a recent ABC poll?  And our founders were clearly Christian. These leftist want to deny our Jewish and Christian heritage. Christianity clearly has its roots in Judaism, and we (except for the left), are highly supportive our our Jewish brothers and sisters and the nation of Israel.  All reputable studies show this.   We respect Muslims as we...

For give us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Jesus Teaching About Prayer: The Forgiveness part Over the years, a great deal has been written about the forgiveness. Spiritual Directors, Wisdom Writers, Psychologists and Sociologists all agree.  Forgiveness is an important part of being emotionally healthy... or maybe just plain healthy.  One thing is for certain:  Forgiving is hard work, especially when something REALLY bad has happened to you. Now this blog is not a book.  So, gotta tell you, I can't cover the whole subject.  But I have developed an acrostic of what just might go on in our lives when we intentionally work on forgiving and finding freedom in Christ.  Check it out: F inally letting go of a wrong done to me. O pening my heart to the LORD's healing as I let go. R emoving any vestige of revengeful thinking from my heart. . G iving God back  HIS rightful place of making things right and G etting my life back. I nvestin...

I was just imagining something, and I would like to take you on a thought journey with me. Come on. It won't take up too much of your time.  I just want you to just imagine: Imagine that you were given $86,400 a day, every day, for the   rest of your life. Suppose you could receive that amount every day…but with a catch. You have to SPEND it every day. Do you think you could do it?  I can almost hear you say "YEAH BABY !!!  We could probably have some GREAT fun trying!   Just imagine . God gives you 24 hours every day. That’s 1440 minutes a day. Or 86,400 seconds…every day of your life. He makes that deposit in your life daily. But there is a catch: You have to SPEND it…all of it…every day. And guess what? You do…   Just imagine . Time, it is our most precious commodity. Wouldn’t you like to be able to buy back a day…or a week…or better yet a whole year? The Apostle Paul, in Ephesians 5, admonishes us to “ be careful how we walk…redeeming the time. (Vs...

Living one day at at time.  Enjoying one moment at a time.  Taking one step at a time,  as I journey through the time line of my life line.  For me this works most of the time.  In fact this gives power and freshness to each new day...  Right on time! Be Blessed 2-Day Especially 2-Day Or You might miss something:o) SoJourner

Dear God,  You created us to be in relationship, and it was not until humanity sinned and abused these precious bonds, in more ways than I can imagine (some that some would rather not remember), that our relationships and families became far less than was intended by YOUR perfect will.  So I cry out to YOU, O LORD, to enhance my ability to have a positive impact on my relatives and my relationships, as well as they with me.  And give me favor with them and they with me... including those with whom I have a fleeting encounter. May all of these relationships become more Holy, Healthy and Sacred every new day.  Grant us grace to live balanced lives that bring glory to YOU our God and our Creator. Most importantly, transform us to love YOU more and more ... love ourselves in a healthy way... so that we will love our families, and our neighbors,  in a manner well pleasing to YOU. In Jesus Name: AMEN! Be Blessed 2-day .... Especially 2-day SoJourner
