Psalm 130 ~ With the Lord is unfailing Love and with Him is full redemption



Video is Well Worth Watching!

1 Corinthians 10

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
for through Him God created everything
in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
Everything was created through Him and for Him.




Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
2 Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.

3 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?

4 But with you there is forgiveness.

So that we can, with reverence, serve you.
5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.

6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.

8 He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.



Matthew 9:5-7

  "Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, and walk'? 

  "But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins "-- then He said to the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your bed and go home."


And he got up and went home.

John 17:6-26 ~ That I Myself may be in them.





John 17:6-26



“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. 

They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. 

Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.


13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.


20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”



The GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ - God wants to save Me. Eternally! You? Wellll... if you believe in Jesus and act as that fact! You are Invited!


Yesterday - I had a Splendid Day - almost everything that happened was Golden. Surrrrrrfing Liiiiiife. Ohhhh yeah. I felt a ray of Golden Light in me. Prayers were answered -Wow!

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away!





Now it looks as though they're here to stay
oh, I believe in yesterday - - -

Today I was at Starbucks, and the man next to me stopped in front of me, saying, "Only thing in the News that was Good  - was the Sports Page." The other man made a noise of agreement.



Today - well I dealt with being on the phone to insurance for a Long Time and had two representatives sound like they cared and I was polite - they pretended to hand me to a "specialist" and instead placed me into the bottom of the hold line having to explain my name, policy number and situation again. Three times. Taking to the billing office at the Doctor's to three representatives. Billing accurately? More surgeries?

Talking to my husband with a terminal diagnosis - ended with me in tears for 30 minutes.

Hearing a cousin is in a life threatening situation. Then crying for this and 30 minutes over the billing and being pushed to the bottom of the phone line by "paid representatives" of my insurance.

Having an accounting error in our billing. Wondering why this repeats in the middle of death.





What are we to do with the crisis Allll over the News?

We are going to realize BAD NEWS sells MORE!!! It creates MORE Stir.


 http://www.freepress.net/ownership/chart

Massive corporations dominate the U.S. media landscape. Through a history of mergers and acquisitions, these companies have concentrated their control over what we see, hear and read. In many cases, these companies control everything from initial production to final distribution. In the interactive charts, in the link -  the link reveals who owns what

We have solutions. We do not have to accept the same news in the same way. In changing the expectation that some one provide news for us to live on as our interest - focusing on politics that we only get one vote for. Instead, we can look at solutions on google for any problem we have. We can focus on prayer and what we expect the Goodness of a Loving Father to provide - in our individual lives.

God created you as Your Father. He never expected you to be St Matthew, or Matthew to be Mark or Luke or John. You have an idea for your own solutions in prayer. Your gifts and talents lean upon God to grow you. In plants - fertilizer smells provide reasons to grow and lean away from the smell.

We are a Nation filled with genius people. Now, currently, we are a Nation worrying if we don't Do Something Today - Immediately - we won't have something for tomorrow. As if we work efficiently - there is no reward - it hits us in both directions. Lack of faith.

Look at problems with a different direction. 
A spot on a shirt won't come out - the spot has to be treated inside the shirt as well.
 A praying mother told me almost all her prayers were answered because as she prays for the ones she loves - she calls up God and her love and their love. Usually, she says, joy comes in the morning.





Do you buy it in the Presidential Election that taxes will be reformed? Why do you want to vote for that person saying phony things?

Do you think we should Police the World in War? Are you voting for more war? Are you happy with Police Armament as a result of excessive equipment?

Do you see someone with a plan? FOR LIFE IMPROVEMENTS? Affordable education improves your life! The US Economy did best when we were building the infrastructure. Is this Biblical? You bet, framework for the rules leads to the best opportunity for happiness, security and joy. That is called the 10 Commandments.



If we don't like the news - we need to upbuild our families and our lives - with interests building us up. Look at a spot from a new direction with prayer. Expectation of Faith, Hope and Love. More blessed to give than receive.



A) Orange. Orange you glad - the Same God who upheld us when our Day was Golden - WILL - Uphold us when the day is - less than - favorable. If we ask Him. Nicely.

B) Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away!
Now it looks as though they're here to stay (Jesus)
oh, I believe in yesterday - - - Biblically. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow -

C) We have not come this far - to be dropped on our head.

D) If we are a Nation who really want to bring something good to our children - we will do far better bringing them to know God and creating standards and communication to build us all up.



Father God, this isn't fixed by throwing money at problems. Solutions arrive when we speak the truth with mercy and respect. Help us open our Hands to You in Prayer. Each day to do the best You'd equip us to do. In Jesus the Lord. Amen.

Psalm 90 ~ Like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.





Psalm 90



Lord, you have been our dwelling place
throughout all generations.


2 Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the whole world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

3 You turn people back to dust,
saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”


4 A thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.
5 Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death—
they are like the new grass of the morning:
6 In the morning it springs up new,
but by evening it is dry and withered.

7 We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.
10 Our days may come to seventy years,
or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

11If only we knew the power of your anger!
Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
12 Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

13 Relent, Lord! How long will it be?
Have compassion on your servants.

14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.

17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.


We are invited, always, to pray - in supplication - to our Father when life gives us "opportunities for solutions". Paul had such faith he looked beyond the point causing discomfort to see how Father God would inter-weave it for good. Paul wanted to see what glory God would bring from weakness. In difficulties, Paul would rejoice.  

2 Corinthians 12:9 

 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.  




Acts 15

16 “‘After this I will return
and rebuild David’s fallen tent.
Its ruins I will rebuild,
and I will restore it,
17 that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
even all the Gentiles who bear my name,
says the Lord, who does these things’—
18 things known from long ago.

19 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21 For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”

Verse 20 - is interesting. Telling us the Bible is Living and Active. In the past and today, this tells us to avoid blood lust in hunting and fighting. To avoid blood - is the 28 STDs of today. Sexual Intercourse provides a blood transfer. Condoms leave a 15% risk. See the real studies on condoms. We are in a new generation and the Bible is still telling us about safety in a loving way.

We can continue the conversation to National Anger.


Police 98% of the time want to protect and serve and have respect.
2% their indictments to the Grand Jury should have FAR MORE JURY TRIALS.

The number of Grand Jury indictiments is horrendously low.

To heedlessly discriminate on how Large the USA Population is and the You tube videos number is IMPORTANT, because the percentage is low - for police violence and excessive force. Very low.

We need to realize the leaked dash cam recorder leaks are Police cleaning up Police. Like
Albuquerque, New Mexico - that crime would go unpunished - minus the Leaked Police Dash Cam - Leaked BY Police to Clean Up Police.

It's Equally IMPORTANT there is now a National Site saying when Police use Excessive Force and the result should be trial and jury and justice.

2% and we are all very upset. The Montgomery County Texas Police handle things VERY WELL.

The Old 1999 Dallas SWAT Team TV reality show was very disturbing to see houses ripped physically apart incorrectly. That should go on the Excessive Force and be rectified FAST. It hasn't been.

Police started militarizing as a result of more war equipment being available in 2005. All Presidential debates include asking about how militarized the Police should be. The real answer is - this has been increasing in a Nation with War equipment readily available.

John, my brother as a Dallas Police Attorney representing the Police in Federal Courts, met a lot of Dallas Police Officers and said they deserve the respect for their job being a calling. A police PERSON is not responsible for what the Swat Team does. John said 98% are extremely dedicated people and go into domestic disputes in a dark house to help women and children not knowing if they are to die today. Be informed how many domestic dispute calls the Police answer.

I asked my brother why the Swat Team apparently does not pay for damages and John related my being hit by a Dallas City Bus. The city budget is tight like a young family of six. There never is extra to spread around. For these damages, we the tax payers would need to pass a bond specifically for Bus crashes, police damages, these days when a bridge collapses - it will take time for the bridge to be repaired. 

2% need Justice not causing the other Police to be disrespected. I feel very sorry for the police who are bearing the result of the Grand Jury when this is not their causing. We need the Police Support for the Grand Jury providing more jury trials for more respect and Justice. The self videos - are cleaning up the 2% - continue to speak up. Watch for the improvements.


Father God, Thank You today for hearing our group prayers. Your answers were immediately heard. I felt tears come to my eyes for the Joy in Being Your Child.

We pray for the glories of our days to repeat and the glories of Your Word. Let this generation be praised for leaning to the Lord. We have a full house at PACN to be able to help women raising their babies. We have new laws for Pro Life.

Daily I see women marrying with a lot of children from being deserted. Where love runs out, Love sweeps in. We have amazing new cures for eye sight and people who are diligently trained and compassionate in the eye health care. We have more GOOD NEWS we do not read about in the papers. If only the 29 years of PACN compassion and Christian compassion in this area could be told - we would all be in awe of what Father God does - today.

Let us not forget the new laws about Life for Innocent Babies rallying. Do not be dismayed. God is at work. Praise to You Father God - for our loved ones, our friends, our coworkers, our Church, praying for our neighborhoods, our state, our schools, our Nation, The Light of Jesus Christ shining to a world in need. We will speak of Your mercies and Love to one another. In Jesus. Amen.

Mark 12:24-27 ~ The Power of God



Mark 12:24-27


24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”




Ephesians 1

15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.




Numbers 6

22 The Lord said to Moses, 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:

24 '“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”’

27 “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”







Deuteronomy 30

“And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, 2 and return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. 4 If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. 5 And the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. 6 And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. 7 And the Lord your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you. 8 And you shall again obey the voice of the Lord and keep all his commandments that I command you today.

9 The Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground. For the Lord will again take delight in prospering you, as he took delight in your fathers, 10 when you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

11 “For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 14 But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.

15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. 

If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules,then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse.

Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 
loving the Lord your God, 
obeying his voice and holding fast to him, 
for he is your life and length of days,
that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”





The Power of God.
He is enlightening us in order to know the hope to which He has called you. God has placed all things under His feet. His incomparably great power for us who believe.

How to obtain His blessing - bless those who allow mercy to be sown. Keep praying for all you know to be kept in this blessing. The Lord's Face shines on mercy bestowed and graciousness. The Lord turns His face to those who give earnest peace.

Jesus chose Brothers who made mistakes and bothered Him. Jesus sometimes told His Brothers to wait and sit outside. Jesus knew something about His Brothers and He expected their best to shine forth in time.


Jesus was teaching His beloved - God dwells within.  Jesus told His disciples of a new Church. Where people worship in truth. This begins within us, earnestly, living with Father God dwelling in our souls.

And Jesus left no doubt as to where He was going. Father God blessed all of those Jesus forgave with forgiveness. Peace arrived. The Brothers of Jesus wrote of Love. The disciples of God wrote of Love. Blessings arrived. Love earnestly. Love genuinely. Be patient. Love again.



 
Thank God. Amen.

Mark 7:24-30 ~ In fact, as soon as she heard about Him,



What will we expect from Jesus - Living Son of God - Author of the Living Word of God?


Mark 7:24-30


24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and  
did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 

25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”
30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.





Jesus was always known and IS Known as being
approachable.

In our lives, we all come from
different aspects,
seasons and varying degrees of our Journey in Life with Jesus.
Jesus is not the type of Man, God, who will revile someone in their wobbles.

We were not there, we do not know if the Syrian woman approached Jesus with dogged diligence or if her whole approach was filled with trepidation.

If someone greets Jesus for many years and many paths with trepidation - this is just like the Prodigal Son being seen, far, far away. The Father had time to make sure this was his child.

The Bible is living and active, Jesus is not going to shame the Syrian Woman for having trepidation, Jesus is going to be with her and work out her worries.

We all will encounter the Living Father God in various seasons of our lives. Some days we read this as Jesus is being quite regal to a gentile. But perhaps this particular gentile expected God to speak to her in ways she found recognizable.

Can you imagine if the woman had approached Jesus and said this to Jesus and He replied, "Oh Ridiculous, your daughter has never ever had a demon. She had Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder and you, being merely at the start of the Gregorian Calendar, surely you are uninformed and stop groveling."

(Yes, I am completely sure Jesus knew of what He was speaking of in Divine Knowledge in the passage - this is an analogy.)

God being God - is going to have to approach us in our highest level of thinking. We cannot attain to filling the Heavens with our Presence. Father Francis MacNutt is a 91 year old graduate of Harvard. He has been involved in healing ministries for 40 years. Father MacNutt says that when someone is healed they want to know right away if the healing is permanent. They begin testing the permanence of the healing like a colt on new found, shaky legs. Father God does not zap them for being people of little faith and take the healed miracle back. God allows us to grow. To lean to Him. Francis MacNutt reports the Joy of the realization process of healing.

Now, Am I absolutely correct? The point is the living aspect of the Word of God. I know the WORD of God is Living and Active and our convictions about the Vast Mercy of God will agree with the Disciple John working, walking, watching, talking, living, and experiencing Jesus. Saying to us - GOD IS LOVE.

In another season of our lives, we may read this exact same verse because we have a season of dire need and just need to throw ourselves upon Jesus and render our firm faith as suddenly shaky. Jesus IS going to say, "Are You A Teacher Of Israel?" This is the voice of a parent trying to brace up a child.

Or one day, we might lead someone to know Jesus for the first time and their own Father was cruel. And to approach God with need for repentance - this indeed is learning - God is God - He is God and we did not make us, God created us. Human beings can make hybrid cars, vegetables, and genetically help humans to conceive life. We have never even made dirt. We do not create life, we use the instruments of God.


How does Father God like to be addressed in Expectation?

Hebrews 4:16
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Ephesians 3:12
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Luke 18
10“Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

God is God. Always. His own Word tells us about Father God. We use our talents and gifts to bring them to Father God, in prayer, saying, "I hope I have pleased You." Believing of Father God - He is Love and He is easily pleased with earnest hearts who Love Him.



Father God, You have placed me in my life - just where I am. You gave me my name, you gave me my circumstances. I have days of plenty and days of want. Help me this day to place my thanksgiving, my gratitude for what has blessed this day - as a gift from You, Father God.

Help us in our circumstances we label as difficult. You, Father God may not see our difficulty as troublesome. When our boundaries do not enlarge, You ask us do we see a desert or a patch of land to garden and cultivate. Help us to be wise in our own thinking. And See You are a God in Whom Nothing is Impossible!

Let me place my heart, my talents, my gifts in front of You and ask that You are pleased with my efforts. Let every knee bow at the Highest Name of Jesus, let us kneel and worship. You are our God. We are the people of Your pasture. We place our cares in Your hands. Thank You for hearing our voice. Let us hear and understand our calling in life from You.

We bring in our hearts, the Ones we Love. Asking You for their upbuilding, to broaden hearts and to create more Heaven on this earth. Give us every good gift we need and continually point us in the right direction. We ask this for our work, our friends, our Church, our State and Nation. Knowing to Know Your Love is to create Love, Hope, Faith, Joy and Peace. Help us be led in Upward Goodness and not as needing a bit and a bridle.

THANK YOU FATHER GOD, Your mercies RENEW each day. In Jesus. Amen.

Sunday Letter August 30, 2015

 

Psalm 126


When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3
The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad.

4
Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negeb!
5
Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
6
He who goes out weeping,

bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.

Dear We the People,

In the middle of financial uncertainty, what we need is Hope that God is present and our futures are held in His Hands and His plans for us all are for a Hope and Future in Jesus Christ. Innovations within our infrastructure have provided the renewed encouragement in the abilities of honest work leading to earned rewards. Enduring labor to tell our children of our accomplishments, trusting our sales will continue based upon quality work.

Mike Graves has run The Woodlands Shoe Hospital for 34 years. He gave me such a wonderful idea he had I had to shake his hand. We have all used many reviews of Trip Adviser.

Mike Graves points out you can serve 2,000 customers and have many repeat customers and a few people who endlessly complain will make a company appear to be what it is not. Even sabotage is possible. Mike has an idea with real ingenuity. Asking reviews to be made with a profile of the reviewer. How many reviews are positive - is a payment to the merchant actually recorded. Some of the worst complainers get their life frustrations worked out on others. PACN recently had a Yelp review of a client not on the schedule for an ultrasound. Reparations were suggested, a follow up was recorded - the reviewer is recorded on Yelp for only 3 very negative reviews of their frustrations.

Mike suggests for multiple reviews and honest commentary - companies use the review service to offer coupons to repeat customers. Merchant and reviewer having the chance for honest commentary from a third party source.

Good luck to Mike Graves in his future location in the NE corner of Budde and Sawdust in the Sawdust Plaza Shopping Center. His current location is being removed for I-45 real estate improvements in close proximity to Exxon's Headquarters. Exxon and The Woodlands will be glad to have Mike still nearby.


My other idea continues to be University and Technical Training for free for United States military. Our military forces never asked to stand in line for Government Food Supplements as they put their effort into defending our Nation.

I do believe we should again look to Chinese examples of military invention. They have build an island as a Military Base. China is not infringing on allies, who in the event of war would expel or blow up the military base. We all know we created damage to our international relationships by having bases on foreign soil.

I suggest to you almost all military bases should be closed and instead of building an Island, The United States Airforce and Navy instead significantly increase the Air Force Carriers who group together to form a movable island. Not one sinkable ship but groups of 10 staying near each other and exchange personnel. Protected by observation, satellite, noise detection, motion and small submarines.

I propose to you many, many ship builders have the skill and the need for this work. I suggest ships be scraped or refurbished. I do not believe our ships sitting and being decommissioned is a good use of funds. I recommend Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, MS.


1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.


May the Lord continue to Bless our Nation and let us be One Nation under Father God. May Father God favor us with solutions and innovations continuing to provide for us faith, hope and Love. In Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.

John 6:41-42 ~ "Isn't this the son of Joseph? Don't we know his father? Don't we know his mother? "







John 6:41-42


41-42 At this, because he said, "I am the Bread that came down from heaven," the Jews started arguing over him: "Isn't this the son of Joseph? Don't we know his father? Don't we know his mother? How can he now say, 'I came down out of heaven' and expect anyone to believe him?"



This is the True Story of my neighbor's Hindu Arranged Marriage:

They met at age 25 at the arranged wedding alter. Neither looked pleased. After the festivities were over the groom asked the bride if she loved another. She said she did. He said I did as well. The groom said I have an idea that will either fix this or fix us. He said taking of virginity is unpleasant. And he had no desire to take something like that unless willingly given. He said I will be your brother and your best, best friend for the next two years. I will listen and fix what ever problem life brings you with complete loyalty and care for two years.

By then I will be 27 years old. At that time I will be educated very well and can earn enough money to divorce you and you can tell your parents later I beat you. She agreed.

And for two months the groom had to remind his bride not to tell her troubles to her mother-in-law, but her groom. Eventually she told him and she said she was so surprised - he cared. And fixed. And helped. He had to remind his bride a few times that she was not so caring of his troubles.

Eventually they worked out how to help her support him correctly. And they had a second anniversary. The bride was taken to dinner and the groom was nervous. She asked him why. He said today we agree what will happen to us. She said she had forgotten. He wasn't especially pleased to hear that. And he said are we divorcing or we going to be married? And SHE SAID ARE YOU NUTS, WE ARE MARRIED. And he said - we are not really. And she said, well I wondered when you'd get around to that.

And on their 50th Anniversary, where a very large party gathered - the participants agreed - this was one of the Happiest Marriages they had ever seen. And the Groom spoke and he said, "This has been the happiest 48 years of my life!" And the wife said, "I've been happy for 50 Years!" The groom glared. The wife laughed. And their son said if only the world could experience that kind of marriage!





After further thought I realized - this is not just a Hindu Marriage Story - this is the Blessing of the Marriage of Mary and Joseph. Joseph was building the betrothal house - when news came of Jesus. Joseph had to give up on his ideas of a normal, calm life. And Joseph's life began to change. And change and change. And a move to Egypt. All of this marriage became the teamwork of people who take care of each other after their Love for Father God.

Luke 4:22
All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked.

The culmination of this friendship, marriage, God honoring first and loving each to has two similar passages in the Gospels.

Matthew 22
37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.



 Father God,
You are telling us as a Living God with Living Word that Your God Nature is a God of Peace.

Father of All Things in People, Circumstance, Creation - You brought Your Son, Lord Jesus, our Savior to have Victory and to conquer death. 

Living Father God You are the Great Shepherd of the sheep. Giving Your own blood shed in terrible, terrible anxiety and sacrifice to the eternal covenant of faith and of Life. 

Please equip us and the ones we love with every good You would do to accomplish Your Will! Please dwell within us, our family, friends, loved ones, co-workers, Church, leading to our State, Nation and the Nations of God to work in ways in the Path pleasing in Your Sight. We ask to accomplish Your Will in Gentle Love.

Though the Highest Name of Jesus Christ. To You Father God and not to us be the Glory forever in the fulfilling of Your Word and Will. In Jesus, Amen!

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. <><
