Appetizer # 3 Knowledge - Cont'd

Over eighteen years ago, God gave me the knowledge to create a flyer ~ and to this day I am not sure how I created it. I know the knowledge came from God because when I went to go to the computer to re-design it instead of scan it in, I could not figure it out! Hmmmm I was a computer tech when it was designed and had the ability to figure out the ins and outs of creating a custom flyer as the one you will see shortly. But today, the knowledge is not there. It's amazing how God gives us the gifts we need at the time it is necessary to do it! ~ I know, I got off the path a little bit ~well back to the flyer and the message God wants us to receive.

The message the flyer is portraying is so profound that I became ecstatic when in all of the wonderful creations from years gone by, I found this. OH WOW ~ was my initial reaction and then I ask myself, "What is it God wants me to do with this"? Obviously, there was work to do within me over the eighteen years to understand what it meant to me. .........  It has been a journey, and when our life is filled with trials, then and only then, can we talk about things with knowledge of it through experience! I hope I haven't lost anyone yet.......Hang on and stay with me (Smile) ......On with the flyer!


All of our thoughts, our journeys, trials, and victories are different and on different levels. So with that in mind, please take a good look at the flyer and ask yourself, "What in life has gotten me off the Road To Success"?, 


You know when we are young how we sit around and dream of what we want to become in life, what kind of car we want to have when we have landed that perfect career, or even, what type of man we want to marry. . . . . . . To dream is wonderful and we should dream. Without dreams, we will not have hope, and without hope, we quit and give up..........Life has detours and merging traffic; whereas, if we are not careful, can take us briefly off the "road to success"; and our intended destiny!  Yes it can be a challenge, when there are times when traveling we make a wrong turn and end up where we did not intend to be........but remember you are in the driver's seat! Sometimes you just have to fight with that steering wheel and say, "I am not going that way"! Life does happen and some of it is unexpected! But, we also have choices when we travel that road and not allow the detours to keep us off the path,or stay off the path. Get back in that driver's seat, flash your lights, honk your horn and smile to alert the other drivers you are merging into traffic and back onto the "Enriched Life Rd"! 


For the Lord grants wisdom! His every word is a treasure of knowledge and understanding. He grants good sense to the godly  - his saints. He is their shield, protecting them and guarding their pathway. He shows how to distinguish right from wrong, how to find the right decision everytime. Proverbs 2:6-9 (TLB)

Can I "Love" You This Much?

Negative words tear people down and exposes them.  "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC)  (Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.) Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester.  "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC)  When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Sat...

God is in "Control"!

The students who marched boldly, stepped out and reached out to gain the attention of our leaders. It is a sad situation and the act of violence that truly needs to cease! As I briefly listened, the stories were not just with our schools, but in our communities, our homes, and our jobs. We are in harms way every where we go. It's not the guns, or is it poverty, wealth or the situation our lives have turned to; it's deeper than that! It comes back to the fear, the anger, and the hate that is warring in our spirit and soul to ignite the violence and use weapons that destroy and kill.  Picture Courtesy of my nephew Dere While listening to the protestors, I heard anger, fear, and exhaustion in their voices also; because they too want change that moves all of us to a state of "Peace" and "Love"!  Not so long ago, we heard, "Black lives matter"; and now it's back to addressing the numerous and continuous shootings in the schools.  The struggl...

It's About Time!

You are given $100; however, you cannot keep it. You have to give it away to a charity or a person. Who would you give it to and why?  This is a question that the students I was substituting for was given to journal. Almost all of the students argued that $100 was not enough money to give to anybody. "Hmmmm", I said. You can do quite a bit with $100  - - - - - -  Our Sunday School class did it with pennies! "How", the students asked. All of the Sunday school classes were informed that it doesn't take much to give to others and if they would begin to bring in pennies, we would be able to give back to those in need. The first year, they gathered enough pennies to provide a Turkey dinner and the roaster to cook it in for a family of five. In addition to providing clothing for a child at Christmas. Each year the giving of pennies grew; whereas, the giving to others in the community grew as well. So if they can do it with pennies, you can do it with $100. Wh...
