John 1 ~ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome



Top Box Office is Dunkirk.

Has the USA recently had anything remotely similar?

Severe Weather
Over 26 Inches of Rain Triggers Record Flooding in the South, Including the Sabine River

20 Parishes Louisiana
March 18 2016 05:00 PM



And all of this does not Touch the months and months Houston Churches Harris County Churches and Montgomery County Churches did, themselves, to feed all the people in the Astrodome and Reliant Arena for Months and Months. The Civilians who helped during Hurricane Katrina's Recovery in Louisiana and  Mississippi. A vast portion of these meals came from the Churches.  Months of cooking, cleaning and serving for Jesus Christ's people.




Record flooding occurred along a sizable stretch of the Sabine River along the Texas/Louisiana border, due to record releases from Toledo Bend Reservoir, first put in service in 1966.

The river crushed a previous record crest near Burkeville, Texas by over 5 feet, topped a 1913 record east of Bon Wier, Texas, and topped an unofficial record from 1884 in Deweyville, Texas, Monday.



In just six days, the cooperative station outside of Monroe (26.96 inches), picked up half the average annual precipitation of Monroe's Regional Airport (53.71 inches).

Suffice to say, this was one of the heaviest March rain events on record in this area, more reminiscent of a tropical storm or its remnant.







We all know this is a disaster. But where is the Joy in the few number of deaths. The willingness to get in the amazing rain and go out and help one another.

What causes people to risk the weather to help one another?






John 1

4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

9The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.




Philippians 2

1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,a 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant







6,900,000,000,000 gallons of rain in one week

The catastrophic Louisiana flood is the worst natural disaster to strike the United States since Hurricane Sandy four years ago.

"Thousands of people in Louisiana have lost everything they own and need our help now," said Brad Kieserman, the Red Cross' vice president of disaster services operations and logistics.

"This disaster is the worst to hit the United States since Superstorm Sandy, and we anticipate it will cost at least $30 million -- a number which may grow as we learn more about the scope and magnitude of the devastation."

Tens of thousands without homes is testing local hospitals' operations, especially in light of reduced federal funding for hospital preparedness. The hospital system was full tilt ready from the experience from Hurricane Katrina Triage Hospital experience.

Officials at Medical Center-Baton Rouge, concerned storms might cause them to lose electricity, transferred about 57 critically ill patients to affiliated facilities across the state on Sunday.



1,000 Year Flood.

13 lives were lost.

7,000 Rescued. Civilian Rescues. Volunteers willing to see all situations - in terrible weather.




James 2:21-24

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.














The devastating floods in Louisiana stretch over 20 parishes.

What created the pathway to so few deaths?




Obviously, Dunkirk had bullets, missiles and bombs as peril. 

The civilians and the government rescuers face drowning, lightning, snakes and wild creatures. There is always a potential for violence. Seeing death. Trauma to face. Dealing with despair. Hardship. And praying for a good long time for recovery. It was said there were as many rescuers as rescued and some people still waited a day or even two for help.

Knowing this - the massive rescue was a miracle of God Himself.

In our day and time.







Father God,

We need to see, understand, proclaim, and pray knowing this Generation calls in Prayer to be stronger to meet Challenges of Life.

Today.

Remembering Encouragement is to see the Positive.

We need to take the time and say the grace was given in this 1,000 year flood. The rescuers who did not think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.

In Louisiana we have seen,

One body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function,

They, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

Having gifts of faith; service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.


Rescue  time and time again:


Genuine Love. Holding fast to what is good.

Loving one another with brotherly affection.

Let us not forget to outdo one another in showing honor.

Let us have zeal, be fervent in spirit, let us Serve the Lord. Seeing the Good. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. More prayer is needed for recovery.

Let us see them contributing to the needs of the saints and seeking to show hospitality.

We give thanks Father God, this is today and these are Your People. We ask for even more abilities to help people like this in need. And give thanks for the times we helped.

Calling faithfully to Father God, praying with asking Jesus to pray with us - for the people we Love. For all the people we have ever prayed for. For our needs and cares. For cysts to be healed of the cause.  Renewed healing and love provided for by God's Willingness. For our employment and life opportunities. For our Churches. Schools. Jesus covering this Nation. And the World. For Christians covering the world faithfully with prayer - Pleasing our God. Blessing our God. Praising our God.

In Jesus. Amen.

The extraordinary true story of conscientious objector Desmond T. Doss

Doss saved 75 men in Okinawa, during the bloodiest battle of WWII, without firing a single shot. Believing the war was just but killing was nevertheless wrong, he was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon. As an army medic Doss single-handedly evacuated the wounded near enemy lines - braving enemy fire and putting his own life on the line.

He was the first conscientious objector to ever win the Congressional Medal of Honor.

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
