Divine Energy!


How many of you are familiar with the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan? If you have not had a chance to watch his show, I recommend you watch at least one episode.

I love dogs and enjoy the show, but what inspires me the most is his spiritual gift of discovering the animals’ response, not by commands, but by the owner’s emotions and energy. That is profound to me; however, it makes perfect sense also.

Since I’ve been watching the show, I started watching humans and how they portray negative or positive energy in their own household. Our energy determines how we can disrupt our household or create peace. If we are constantly in a hurry, we become frustrated easily, we make mistakes often, and then anger, self pity, and defeat surfaces. Yep, we are defeated because we give in and give up ~ you say things like, “That’s it, I quit. No one ever listens to me around here”!

Take a good look at how you respond the next time your child spills something or talks back. Do you discipline them by shouting and hitting or do you give them a firm command, “Clean it up” or “Be Quiet”! For example: My children have talked back or tried to and I cut if off quick with a firm response of, “aught”, I’m still talking”! They immediately got quiet and listened. When I was through, they were able to speak, but with respect. I took control, not them and the situation did not escalate into chaos!

We create positive or negative energy by how we think and respond. If you are not calm or disciplined in your thoughts, you will not be calm or disciplined in your actions.  
But I say: Don’t make any vows! And even to say ‘By heavens!’ is a sacred vow to God, for the heavens are God’s throne. And if you say ‘By the earth!’ it is a sacred vow, for the earth is his footstool. And don’t swear ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the capital of the great King. Don’t even swear ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black. Say just a simple ‘Yes, I will’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Your word is enough. To strengthen your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong. Matthew 5:34-37 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...
