Ye though I am marching through the valley filled with fear
My steps are sure and sturdy and my aim is straight and clear
The enemy is stalking me just waiting for the kill
Like david slewed galiath
I will claim this battle field

I'm a brave little soldier
I must do what I can
I'm a brave little soldier
And I must take a stand
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier

Marching, marching onward
Searching out the light of truth
I did not start the war
But it's a battle I can't lose
Faith will be my armor
And love my sword and shield
I must defeat the enemy
I will, I will, I will

A brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And I must carry on
A brave little soldier
A brave little soldier

I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier

Change Your Thinking...Change Your Life 
by Joyce Meyer 

The longer I live the more I realize how strong a connection exists
between our thoughts and our words. I honestly believe that this connection
is one of the most important things we can learn in our lives. 

So many people's problems are rooted in their way of thinking, which can
actually produce a lot of the problems they experience. 

How does that happen? 

Well, a negative mind produces negative words and, consequently, a
negative life. Our words can actually become traps that cause us to
continue our cycle of negative thoughts and actions. 

Yes, we're all tempted to speak negatively, but we don't have to give in
to that temptation. 

To turn our words around, we need to start thinking about what we're
thinking about, and then make some real changes. 

Let me show you how. 

The Trap of Negative Thinking 
Because I allowed many years of negative thinking and speaking in my
life, I became an extremely negative, sour person. My philosophy became "if
you don't expect anything good to happen, then you won't be disappointed
when it doesn't." 

Have you ever felt that way? 

Because I had encountered so many disappointments, I was afraid to
believe that anything good could happen to me. I had developed a terribly
negative outlook on everything. 

If I had continued to believe those lies about never getting over my
past, I never would've gotten over my past. 

New Thoughts, New Possibilities 
With God's help I am continually reminded that my past doesn't have to
control my future.  I don't need God's help in my life to give up; I need
His help to keep going! 

I now know how important it is for me to understand the fact that my life
would not have gotten straightened out until my mouth did. 

And since the two are linked, my mouth wasn't going to get straightened
out until my mind did. 

Changing your words and thoughts is definitely not an easy thing to do,
but with God's help all things are possible.  

Be Patient with Yourself 
We have to choose to think and speak positively. It doesn't come
naturally-and it doesn't happen overnight. In fact, it takes a lot of
practice. 

There will be days when you have setbacks, but just get back up, dust
yourself off, and start again. 

When a baby is learning to walk, he falls many, many times before he
gains the confidence to walk. Failing from time to time-which you will
do-doesn't mean you're a failure. It simply means that you don't do
everything right all the time. 

Well, neither does anyone else. 

If you've been consumed with negative thinking and speaking, the pathway
to your freedom begins when you face the problem without making excuses for
it. 

In His love,
Donna


Be patient with yourself. As you change your thinking, your words will
change and so will your life! 
The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want. Ps 23:1

Applying Faith
Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed.
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
- John 20:29


Some people say they cannot have faith because they are practical. They
need to know something is true before they can believe it.

But we all apply faith every day. When you go to a restaurant, order a
meal, and eat what they bring, that is faith. You are not sure if they
followed all the sanitary guidelines they are supposed to follow. You don't
know whether the waiter might be a little ticked off at you and has thrown
a few little surprises into your entree. You don't know. So you apply
faith.

When you go down to the pharmacy to fill your prescription, you assume
the little pills the pharmacist gave you are actually the ones you ordered
and not a placebo, or even worse, another kind of medication that could be
harmful to you. You apply faith.

When you have surgery and are put under anesthesia, you must put complete
faith in the anesthesiologist, surgeons, and nurses. Or how about when you
board a plane and taxi down the runway in that 747? Do you understand
aerodynamics? Most of us wouldn't. Yet we believe those pilots in the
cockpit are hopefully not drunk or distracted. We hope they will get us
safely to our destination.

My point is this: we apply faith each and every day. Faith is belief plus
action. It is what we apply when we initially come to Jesus Christ. We
acted on something that we accepted as true. The Bible says, "For by grace
you have been saved through faith" (Ephesians 2:8). 

So when someone refuses to put their faith in God, it leaves me
wondering. They can put faith in a waiter, in a pharmacist, in a surgeon,
and in a pilot, but they won't put their faith in God Almighty.

In His love,
Donna

The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want. Ps 23:1

how mild head trauma is a much bigger problem than people realize. Often
we shake
it off as no big deal, but a hit to the head can have serious
consequences including
changes in mood, behavior and weight gain - and can cause people to act
more impulsively.

Sometimes we are so busy adding up our troubles that we forget to count
our blessings.

Psalm 77:11-12
I will remember the works of the Lord: surley I will remember thy wonders
of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

Lets never get to busy to count our blessings every day. For God has been
good to us.
Have a blessed day.

Message-ID: <bb2a9cd21003172008j1253b63bv2910d0215c49f79a@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings!

Ever since John inquired about fiction dealing with other faith traditions
such as Judaism and Buddhism, I've been scratching around and trying to come
up with something.  At first, I could only think of Elie Wiesel's novels.
 They are often highly theological and evidence a profound respect for
Jewish observance.  Some of my favorite Wiesel novels are: "The Town Behind
the Wall," "The Forgotten," "Twilight," and, "The Time of the Uprooted."

There are also Wiesel's profiles of early Hasidic Rebbes
(charismatic teachers, but not necessarily rabbis).  While these are not
exactly fiction, they have lots of traditional Hasidic stories--stories that
are still shared among Hasidic Jewish communities today.  Some of these
books include: "Souls on Fire," "Somewhere A Master," and "Four Hasidic
Masters and Their Struggle Against Melancholy."

Another Jewish author who writes from an observant perspective is Chaim
Potok.  I read one of his novels, "The Chosen," when I was taking a class
from Elie Wiesel in graduate school.  I enjoyed the novel. There is conflict
between Jewish tradition and modernity depicted in the novel.  I thought
Potok avoided simplistic conclusions about this conflict.  Potok was raised
in the Orthodox tradition and became a Rabbi.  Some of his other novels
include: "The Chosen," "My Name is Asher Lev," "Davita's Harp," and "The
Gift of Asher Lev."

I've also found two collections of Buddhist fiction.  I haven't read either,
but I'm looking forward to getting a hold of them.  The first is, "Nixon
Under the Bodhi Tree and Other Works of Buddhist Fiction," edited by Kate
Wheeler.  The second is titled, "You Are Not Here and Other Works of
Buddhist Fiction," edited by Keith Kachtick.

Finally, returning to the subject of Christian authors, has anyone mentioned
J.R.R. Tolkien yet?  He's an old standard, but one of my favorites!  Thanks
for letting me go on a bit!

Wishing all the best,
Ginnie

Ah -- yes, you found the author of "The Chosen", which was made into the 
movie that I saw.    I haven't read the book, but the movie was excellent. I 
would read it if I had it.
Thanks for the list.

Thanks Ginnie. That is good information. I'll see if some of these books 
are on Bookshare, and I may also add them to the wish list.

         You can still get Jewish books from what used to be called 
Jewish Braille Institute in New York.
They must have lots of short story and other book collections.
I don't read much from there just now.

Instead, take a break. Tomorrow morning, set aside a few moments to fill
your mind and soul with calm. Before you jump out of bed, enjoy a few
minutes of peaceful relaxation. Reflect on the importance of harmony,
serenity and balance in your life. When you start each day this way you'll
have more energy and tolerance for what lies ahead. And, you'll be able to
handle the unexpected with ease.

The Chaim Potok book that I read must have been part of the NLS.  It 
could have been something from JBI.

Message-ID: <mailman.24.1593447328.15261.faith-talk_nfbnet.org@nfbnet.org>

How does it feel to be 36 years young?  Let me count the ways:

As someone who is visually-impairec, I have never, nor will I ever,
hate/hated being blind.  I have always been proud of it.  I have never
believed that my blindness is, or was, a curse.  I believe that it is a
blessing.

I have always believed in having a playful personality, but in my early
life, this was extremely hard to come by.  I learned to be patient, kind,
and appreciative.  I learned to accept help when I need it, and respond
with a "no" or "no, thank you," when I don't need it.

I've learned to advocate, legislate, andfollow up.

The past 35 years have been a resolve not to take negativity seriously,
but to take positivity as it comes.  

I see myself as a person still learning, and still growing.  I see myself
only taking the bitter with the sweet.

I love God; I love life; I love you.  All of you have been very inspiring
to me!  Thank you; thank you!  To my friends on Facebook, to my friends in
the groups, thank you. 

To my Federation friends reading this message: Thank you.

On March 21, 2010, Eric Calhoun begins his next 35 years on this earth. 
And I celebrate it--with you!  The shyest, most antisocial being has turned
into an advocate, a leader; a friend. I'm on Facebook: eric at pmpmail.com;
let's have laughs together!  Again, thank you!

DAILY-E-VOTIONAL  
BLESSINGS FROM THE HEART
Pastor Cecil A. Thompson
March 19, 2010

"NEAR THE CROSS!"
I Peter 4:12-13
"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are
suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice
that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be
overjoyed when his glory is revealed."

Fanny J. Crosby was a remarkable woman. There are so many accomplishments
in her life that it is hard to comprehend them all. She lost her eyesight
because of the treatment of a careless doctor. In spite of her loss she
memorized huge portions of Scripture just by listening to her grandmother
read them to her. She is credited with writing over 10,000 hymns during her
life.

Fanny began writing poetry at an early age, but another amazing fact is
that she did not accept Jesus as her personal Savior until she was 31. She
was attending a service on November 20, 1850. The congregation was singing
a hymn by Isaac Watts; "At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the
light." She knew she needed the Lord and that very night He became her
Savior and Lord.  

Her desire was to always stay close to Jesus who had paid the ultimate
price for her salvation. Her desire was to remain near her Lord. She
immediately wrote the words to this week's hymn, "Near the Cross."  

Near the Cross

Jesus, keep me near the cross; 
there a precious fountain, 
free to all, a healing stream, 
flows from Calvary's mountain. 

Refrain: In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever, 
till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul, 
love and mercy found me; 
there the bright and morning star 
sheds its beams around me. 

Refrain: In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever, 
till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

Near the cross! O Lamb of God, 
bring its scenes before me; 
help me walk from day to day 
with its shadow o'er me. 

Refrain: In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever, 
till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

Near the cross I'll watch and wait, 
hoping, trusting ever, 
till I reach the golden strand 
just beyond the river.

Refrain: In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever, 
till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

Subject: [Faith-talk] Bible Commentaries
Message-ID: <20100322063357.GA5183@s15261680.onlinehome-server.com>

I have just finished reading Isaac Asimov's Guide to the Bible, which I 
downloaded from Bookshare. His purpose iis to give the historical, 
cultural and geographical background of each book of the Bible. He 
respects the Biblical writers and is only giving information already 
known to Biblical scholars. The copyright date is 1969, so it doesn't 
include the latest scholarship. However, it is valuable for 
understanding the context of the various biblical books. It is not for 
the weak in faith.

I'm trying to get the New Jerome Biblical Commentary on Bookshare. The 
publication date is 2000. It's a huge tome. They are trying to get a 
digital copy from the publishers. I don't know how long that may take. 
If it doesn't succeed It wil have to be scaned, and thens I will 
proofread it.

Prayers and blessings,
John

There are lots of books by Chaim Potok, including "The Chosen," which I 
have downloaded. Searching for Elie Weisel produces weird results. Maybe 
someone can figure out what is going on.

I have put the two collections of Buddhist fiction on the Bookshare wish 
list.

Blessed reading,

Hi, Tom, I'm just curious about something. When the books are updated or the
collection is expanded, do you sent out the new material to people who have
requested your cd's in the past? Or, do you send out a notice when you have
put together a new collection so we can request it? 

Thanks.

Don't ignore the first edition of the Jerome Biblical - in many ways it is better than the "New" JBC. And if you have never found Isamov's tome on Shakespeare - wonderful!  I think it's a better work than his one the Bible.

Charlene,
Optasia Ministry does not send out notices of changes.
Partly because we do not want to send unsolicited messages to our users.
But mostly because the library is in a continuous process of additions. 
There is seldom a definite time that we could choose to send out such
notices.
We do however, keep a list on our website of all the materials available,
and on the, What's New, page of our website, we take note of major
changes.
Last September we made a major change to the Bibles we offer, adding new
versions, and providing a more consistent format for them.  We have 14
versions available, in the Optasia Bible format now, and they are also
arranged in a collection which enables users to quickly compare readings
in all the versions.
We are currently adding volumes in the New International Commentary
series. The NT is complete, and we are working on the OT now.
The NIV Application Commentary is also being added as it becomes
available to us.
So the library has expanded considerably since you received your copy.
If you want an update, send me an email.
Blessings,
Tom

Blessings,
Tom

The way you think about life plays a major role in the way your life
unfolds. Again and again, choose those thoughts that resonate with a life
that's rich, joyous and fulfilled. You think thousands of thoughts each
day. Use the opportunity of each thought to push you toward the precise
life you wish to create for yourself. Everything in your world begins with
a thought. So use your thoughts to give everything a powerful, positive
beginning.

"Do They Know?"

(Isaiah 43:12) - "I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed,
when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses,
saith the LORD, that I am God."  

I heard a story about this guy who was a Christian and had a job that he
worked at for years before anyone even knew he was a Christian.  What is
wrong with that picture?  How can you work in a place day after day, year
after year and no one have any idea that you are a Christian?  As we said a
few days ago, everything we do is reflective of our walk with Christ- it is
inseparable.

I am not suggesting that you get a bull horn and make a loud announcement
that you are a Christian.  What you are will be evident by the way you
conduct yourself, by your lack of compromising your belief in certain
situations, by your speech, by your integrity, by the way you treat others,
by your work ethics, by showing compassion, and so on.

Some people's defense is that they are "letting their lights shine, and
lights don't do anything but shine".  There is nothing wrong with that- we
are to let them shine, people should "see" Christ in us.  But that is only
half of our witness- they should also "hear" something from us.  We are
called "witnesses".  There are more scriptures that tell us to be vocal
with our faith than there are that tell us to demonstrate it only.  We have
to do both- we can't help but do both.  

Do people around you, do your acquaintances, does your family, do those
people you rub shoulders with day in and day out know that you are a
Christian?  The reason we should let them know (be more vocal- not
obnoxious) is not about "us".  It's about lifting Christ up before them so
that they might come into a relationship with Him.      

Have a great day.  Others should be able to tell that you are a Christian
if you are around them for any length of time, and if they can't... why?

Right now is pure opportunity, because right now is yours to create, to
mold, to build into whatever you want. Right now you can be successfully
following your dream. The opportunity of a lifetime is already yours, and
it is already here. It is right now. Yet the opportunity is worthless
without your active participation. So look closely and see this moment for
what it is. Live the opportunity that is yours right now.

Complaining Will Get You Nowhere 

by Dr. Larry Ollison 

(Matthew 20:1-11) provides us with an excellent example of people who
assumed they will receive something other than what they were told. It
says, 

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner, who went out early in the
morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. Now when he had agreed with the
laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them to his vineyard. And he went
out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
And he said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right,
I will give you.' So they went. Again he went out about the sixth and the
ninth hour and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out and
found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing
here idle all day?' They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to
them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right, you will
receive.' So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his
steward, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the
last to the first.' And when those came that were hired about the eleventh
hour, they each received a denarius. But when the first came, they supposed
that they would receive more, and they likewise received each a denarius.
And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner."

Notice that those who were hired early in the morning agreed with the
landowner to work for one denarius a day. But when the landowner hired more
laborers that afternoon, they wrongly assumed they would receive more money
than the newcomers. When they weren't paid any more for working longer
hours, they were angry and complained to the landowner.

Notice verse 12 says they complained, "saying...." Complaining always
involves saying something. Do you remember what the Word says about the
Hebrew children when they wandered in the wilderness? Whenever they felt
the least amount of discomfort, they grumbled and complained. And when God
heard their words, He was angry with them. See: (Exodus 16)

It may come as a shock to you, but God hears everything you say. There is
nothing hidden from Him. You may successfully hide something from your
husband, your wife, or your children. Perhaps you have even hidden
something from the law, but nothing is hidden from God. (Hebrews 4:13)
says, "And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are
naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." 

Picking up (Matthew 20:11) it says, "And when they had received it, they
complained against the landowner, saying, 'These last men have only worked
an hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the
heat of the day.'"

Notice that each man was hired to work a different number of hours, but
all were paid the same. As a result, the laborers who worked all day
complained even though they received exactly what they had agreed upon
prior to working. A spirit of division and contention built among the
workers.

The real problem arose when the laborers who were hired early in the day
compared themselves to the others. If those who were hired late in the day
had received a lesser wage, then they would not have had a reason to
complain. But when they realized everyone received the same wage,
regardless of the number of hours worked, they grumbled and complained. The
equal treatment they were given made them angry. Let's continue with this
parable, starting at verse 13: "But he answered one of them and said,
'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the
same as you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things?
Or is your eye evil because I'm good?'"

In New Testament times, the phrase "evil eye" was a colloquialism, or
idiom, of the day. In that day, when someone said you had an evil eye, they
meant you were tight or stingy. Therefore, Jesus was speaking about the
greed and stinginess of the workers who complained. What Jesus said carried
this implication: "Are you angry because I'm generous?" Then He concluded
with this astounding statement: "The last will be first, and the first
last. For many are called, but few chosen."

The real offense that arose among the laborers was caused by comparing
themselves to one another. They complained to the landowner, but it got
them nowhere.

            This is just sooooooooooo beautiful.......and true too.



 



  
A Birth Certificate shows that we were born. 
A Death Certificate shows that we died. 
Pictures show that we lived! 
Have a seat.   Relax . . . 
And read this slowly.

I Believe... 
That just because two people argue, 
It doesn't mean they don't love each other. 
And just because they don't argue, 
It doesn't mean they do love each other. 

  
I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if 
We understand that friends change.



I Believe....
That no matter how good a friend is, 
they're going to hurt you every once in a while 
and you must forgive them for that. 

 
I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow, 
even over the longest distance. 
Same goes for true love. 

I Believe... 
That you can do something in an instant 
That will give you heartache for life. 

 
I Believe....
That it's taking me a long time 
To become the person I want to be. 

  
I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with 
Loving words. It may be the last time you see them. 

 
I Believe.... 
That you can keep going long after you think you can't. 


I Believe....
That we are responsible for what 
We do, no matter how we feel. 

 
I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.


I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs 
to be done, regardless of the consequences. 



I Believe....
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best
time. 

 
I Believe....
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down 
will be the ones to help you get back up. 


I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry 
I have the right to be angry,  
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. 

 
I Believe....
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had 
And what you've learned from them and less to do with  how many 
birthdays you've celebrated. 

  
I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, 
to be forgiven by others. 
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself. 

 
I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken 
the world doesn't stop for your grief. 

 
I Believe....
That our background and circumstances 
may have influenced who we are, 
But, we are responsible for who we become.


I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find 
Out a secret. It could change your life Forever. 

 
I Believe....
Two people can look at the exact same 
Thing and see something totally different. 

 
I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of 
Hours by people who don't even know you. 


I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give, 
When a friend cries out to you - 
you will find the strength to help. 

 
I Believe...
That credentials on the wall 
do not make you a decent human being.


I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life 
are taken from you too soon. 

 
I Believe...
That you should send this to 
all of the people that you believe in, I just did.

have the best of everything; 
They just make the most of everything they have.

In this message, for JAWS users, you can tap the "s" key which stands for 
"same element" several times to move to the body of the message.  Wading

The same elements are the various headers.  I know of no way to skip past

NO LONGER SLAVES

Abraham Lincoln is said to have "freed the slaves" with the Emancipation
Proclamation. This legal document declared that slavery was dead and all
the
slaves were set free.

When this news first spread through southern plantations, many of the
slaves
would not believe it. They continued slaving for their masters, convinced
their
promise of freedom was a hoax. Numbers of unscrupulous landowners told
their
slaves it was just a rumor and kept them under bondage. But little by
little,
the truth dawned on them as they saw former slaves walking about, happy
in
their newfound freedom. One by one, they threw down their loads, turned
their
backs on slavery, and walked away to begin a new life.

Maybe you haven't heard yet, or maybe it sounds too good to be true, but
Christ
emancipated all the slaves to sin at Calvary. You can now "walk out" on
the
devil! You can throw down your load of sin, walk away from Satan's
dominion,
and enter into a new life of freedom.

Let me show you what the Bible means when it talks about dying to sin.
When
Lincoln emancipated the slaves, the "issue" of slavery died. Not the
slave
master-not the slave. The slave could walk away free, saying to himself,
"Slavery is a dead issue."

Now the slave could slip back into the field and pick a few more rows of
cotton-perhaps through fear or instinct-but that in no way made him a
slave
again. He was free, but he had to exercise his freedom. The proclamation
couldn't force compliance, and neither could the slave master force him to
return. It was a matter of the will of the slave.

The Bible says, "...he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead
with
Christ, we believe we shall also live with him" (Romans 6:7-8).

What that means is simply this: Since the matter of your slavery to sin
is a
dead issue, seeing that Christ has already declared you emancipated, you
are
now free to live as a new person in Christ by thinking of yourself as
unchained.

Christ can't make you do right, and Satan can't make you do wrong. Christ
declares you are free by faith, but you must act as a free person.

Harvest Daily Devotion for 3/26/2010: "The Best Place to Be"

                  FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 2010 
                  The Best Place to Be
                  Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the
scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he
meditates day and night.
                  - Psalm 1:1-2


                  Where is the best place to be when temptation comes? In
God's will. Luke 4:1 tells us that Jesus was "led by the Spirit into the
wilderness." Jesus always was in God's will, but sometimes we aren't. We
put ourselves in places we don't belong. We hang out with people we
shouldn't hang out with, and then we end up doing things we shouldn't do.

                  Psalm 1:1-2 says, "Blessed is the man who walks not in
the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in
the seat of the scornful." Note the progression in these verses from
walking to standing to sitting. That is how temptation works.

                  It is like being on a diet and deciding to walk by your
favorite bakery. Predictably, you spot that fresh cinnamon roll on display
in the window. So you go from walking to standing. Then you are looking.
The next thing you know, you are sitting in the bakery's vat, eating raw
dough.

                  Or, you are with the wrong people, walking "in the
counsel of the ungodly" or standing "in the path of sinners." They say to
you, "Oh, would you relax? You are so uptight with your Christianity. Come
on. Have a drink. What is one drink?" Or, "Hey, come with us and do this.
It's just this one time. Oh, come on! Have a little fun!" And suddenly you
find yourself in a place you shouldn't be. You think, How did I get here?
You were in the wrong place with the wrong people at the wrong time.

                  That is why the best place to be when temptation comes
is in the will of God. And that is why we need to keep up our guard and
fill our minds with God's Word.

Jesus is a friend who knows all your faults and still loves you anyway.

Jesus is my best friend and what I tell Him, stays with Him.
We can't trust friends like we can Jesus.
Is Jesus your best friend?

Love/Prayers
Linda L.

      Thought for Today,



      Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through
experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition
inspired, and success achieved.

More than you seek to 
defeat the enemy, seek his foe!!!
More than you seek victory, seek the Victor!!!
You will never be more beautiful to God
than when He can look down and see you
hanging on to Him for dear life!!!!!!!
