O' Holy Nite

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.


IMAGINE-- The scene above is not the scene of the Chirst's birth. The Lord was born in a manger all pretty with hay and friendly barn animals just like when you go to the petting zoo....it's the picture I have, I doubt it is accurate.

I imagine much like His death, His birth was not in a plesant environment. Jesus was born dirt poor, literally.

And to think of the poor....think of them. They are so thankful for everything.

Tonite like all nites is holy. When you know Jesus, you know the poor and when you know the poor you know that every nite is holy.

Peace on earth comes from knowing Christ; may you know Him.

the world's greatest ride

Kingda Ka
Six Flags Great Adventure
Jackson Township, New Jersey

I have never experienced anything quite like this. Nervousness, a rush, fear, adrenaline, more fear and then a desire to experience it all again. Maybe I have experienced something like this Kingda Ka before and it's called LOVE.

Be it love or a roller coaster they tend to bring out those same emotions.

I'm sorry Jesus for the times I have let you down. I'm sorry when my roller coaster is headed to the ground. And then I read your word or am encouraged by a brother and my coaster is climbing to the top, reaching for my eternal dwelling place.

Jesus my life is like this roller coaster and I am thankful that you are the track my coaster is attached to...thankyou.

LONELY!

i am lonely, i have cried out to my brothers asking for prayers and no one responds?!

my parents seperated & divorced when I was 12 years old. we played Rummy 500, a family fave and then they said they had to explore if they "still" loved each other....they determined they didn't.

I have found NOTHING consistent in this world.

after my parents divorced my italian grandmother was "there" for me. I loved her, she loved me. she made me pop-corn and bologna and american cheese on white bread with butter and would always have Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer in in the fridge for me. i loved her. she loved me. it was consistent. she was always there....

till she wasn't
she died
she left
she left forever

and then i knew

God is forever....NOTHING ELSE, but Him.

Psalm 107

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.

Let them give thanks to the Lord....
for He is good, His love endures forever, His unfailing love, His wonderful deeds for men,
For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths.

Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great love of the LORD.


ahhhh....the Psalms, sweetness!
