HOLY FRIDAY!

In the Old Testament, it was prophesied “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole”. Isaiah 53:5 AMP


No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends. John 13:15 AMP

Today is a day to reflect and fully understand why Jesus died on the cross for all of us. However, within those three days, things were going on in the spiritual world that we read about in the word, but have no knowledge of how powerful His love was and still is for us (who believe) to conquer Heaven and Hell so you have protection from Satan to live a life filled with good health, a loving family, a home that is protected from the storms nature brings, and favor and blessings everywhere you go!


Pastor Creflo Dollar was speaking on how we are saved by Grace and there is nothing we can do to earn it or give it back ~ it’s free. He gave a member of his congregation a gift she was not expecting. She looked at him in surprise and he walked away. She sat there in amazement and Pastor Dollar asked her to open it up. She did and still had a puzzled look on her face! He said,”I know you are wondering why I gave you that gift and I also know you don’t have anything to give back to me”. She shook her head no and Pastor Dollar went on to the podium and said, “I just demonstrated “Grace”. It’s a free gift that you are not able to repay!



On Easter Sunday I pray many of you are filled with Thanksgiving and Love for our Savior! Why? Because He loved you first!

Do You REALLY Know?

I was in JC Penney a few years ago just browsing and this woman passed me calling a little girl who was in the shoe section to come on, she was ready to leave. The little girl quickly grabbed a specific pair of shoes and walked over to her, pleading for the shoes. Well being social, I commented they were very cute shoes and would look good on her. The Grandmother proceeded with, “She has more than enough shoes at home and although they are cute, we are not buying them”. The little girl begged for a short while and realized she was not going to win this battle, so the shoes went back to the shoe department. As the little girl was leaving, her Grandmother began telling me how she provides for the child quite often and her daughter (the child's Mother) do not have a good relationship. She badly berated her daughter to the point I said in my mind, “God should I pray for this woman”; because from listening to her story, I felt the relationship could not continue is this manner, an...

# 7 Objectives (n) - something your working towards Increase! ---Hmmm! Increase in what? I'm not sure what you mean by increase! Increase in finances maybe ~ or increase in knowledge ~ or perhaps you mean increase in healthy friendships!  All of these are attainable; however, they are not accomplished without work on our part to obtain them ~ and keep them. Maybe you want to increase your household! Uh Oh! (Big Smile) ~ VUALA ~ here's your baby! Wow that would be wonderful if it worked out that way, but we know better huh?  How many of you have really sat down with a goal in mind and established a step by step plan to reach that goal? I have never done that, I have always flown by the seat of my pants and they would always work out! NOW? It's not that easy. I have had to think things through more, pray about them and believe they will happen!  What I mean by that is, I became independent of Christ (sure of my own works), instead of dependent (leaning totally ...

Appetizer # 8

# 8 Self-Respect (n) - proper pride; dignity Oh yes, I did not do well in Business Law. To be honest, I could have cared less about court cases, what the law says about landlord rights, tenant rights, labor law rights, etc. After all, I had a home, a full time job (that at the time, I had no intention of leaving), and I was married with children. I decided to go back to college after the kids were school age, to better my life and theirs~so I thought! I was working third shift, 40 hours a week; and juggling Motherhood and being a wife. Well - all of that together did not mix well at all!  Of course I was tired. In between classes, I would go to the student lounge and sleep ~ there was also times I would doze while driving their and back home. One day while driving home, I was so sleepy, I just could not keep my eyes open. However, when I did realize I had fallen asleep,  I was heading towards the median on a four lane highway. You talk about being scared straight. I kn...
