Brain a buzzin'



Well, my mind is just buzzing with so many different impressions.

Since I promised something on Sanctity of Human Life, I will start with that.
Sunday, we had a presentation, testimonies, and fantastic sermon on God's view on Human life!
What a blessing to all of us who were there, as the DVD starts going around to other homes, I pray that it becomes personal to those viewers as well.

Why we have gotten so far from revering human life and instead are eager to protect animal life, plant life and the earth? I think the obvious answer is that Satan is just so pleased with himself that we have fallen for his lies! People are so easily duped. The illogical reasoning that abounds about protecting the wild river dolphins in NJ, but not the unborn, the ill, the ones who can't speak for themselves is just plain stupid. (there I said it, Diana)

One day we will have a green, healthy planet for the wild beasts. Won't that be nice...but since we have gotten rid of anyone who might not fit the "ideal" mold we will be a bunch of bumbling idiots not enjoying it at all...No, God will intervene, He will judge. Perhaps some of you have noticed the judgements have already begun.

Ok, #2. The new President. Have we ever had such a happy media, that covered any inaugural event for a month? Hail to the Chief and all that, but come on....Obama is a man, Michelle is a woman...not anything more than you or me. Please pray for them. Pray for our government. Pray for all the folks who are effected by policy....Obama is going to "change" a lot of things that as Christians we hold dear. (One of them is Sanctity of Human Life!!!) Pray for our military. A lot of us moms have sons and daughters in the military, or thinking of going in to serve our country.

#3 Although this usually trumps all....it snowed yesterday in NC. We did our usual closing of schools and businesses, stayed off the roads and had fun in the white stuff. This is usually an event that has 24hr coverage from prediction, to every flake and beyond. Obama kind of ruined the tradition for me...

#4 Now this is not number 4 because it is of lesser importance...answer to prayer! God is providing for a friend in need in a very great way!

#5 Most important of all....God is Sovereign, He is in control and nothing I do, Obama does, or even you all do, will change that! AMEN!

#6 I hope the UPS man comes soon, the copier needs to go back and the new one needs to get here sooner than later....


3PM UPS man came and took the copier! Now we only have to wait for the new one, and hope that it will actually work!

Mission Minded?

Last Sunday, we had a 23rd Anniversary celebration at church. Don spoke. He talked about the fact that God's purpose will be done, He will use us; but it may not be in our timing or our planned ways!

He spoke about a time when he was a youth and their church talked about a woman who had been killed on the mission field. Who would take her place? He determined he would and so would some of the youth that sat with him-and they did! He spoke of a wedge, with one point and then it widens the path for more....

One death= more missionaries=Gospel going to outermost parts of the world!

Reading Tim's blog- (Go Reconcile) he brings up a NY Times article on slavery. He asks,

"This is one cause from the New York Times that we could take up. Church, how can we rest and enjoy all of our material blessings while this sort of slavery goes on and actually increases daily. After seeing this interview and reading this article, how can we today sit in the comfort, warmth and luxury of our church buildings? Excuse me, I am a little upset this morning. Years ago a young Christian women went to India and literally stopped the babies being sacrificed, Amy Carmichael. Are there any Amy’s out there? "


Now, are there? Let's be praying for more Amys, Dons, Beas, Jesses, Bobbies, Judys, Dans, Sams, etc... It might be me, or you or our daughters and sons! Not our will but God's will be done!

Sanctitiy of Human Life Sunday is coming up...this is something we Christians need to be serious about! More later...
