no name

Today someone asked me if, "I see dead people". a reference to the movie "The Sixth Sense". I sold shirts in one of our Philly stores that said .....I see dead people. The shirt did okay, but not good enough to reorder it for the masses.

I often have been known to say that everyone on the train appears to be dead to me. People riding public transportation just seem to have no life and then one day someone said to me....do you think they might see you as dead? Now I try to smile to everyone as I don't want to be mistaken for a lifeless person.

If the heart beats...are you alive, or are you just living? And if you are living....what are you living for?

I for one, am alive--my heart beats wildly, like a branch blowing in the wind.

Do you see the life? The life in me?

The life I have....a gift, a gift from the ONE who truly is the life giver.
You know WHO that is.....I need not speak HIS name.

Be alive, alive with purpose. Alive with a purpose to live for--REAL PURPOSE.

prayer

I just don't pray enough. God's word calls for us to be in constant prayer.

Them I found this in one 1 Thessalonians 1
We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

always

continually

always & continually

I am beginning to think that the key here is to 1st think of God often....so often that it becomes LIKE all the time and also DO NOT FORGET to let other's know you are thinking of him!!!! and lastly--be an encourager constantly and always. :)

trouble

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

From the unexpected flat tire to the rain storm or the things that slow us down----to hurt and pain and suffering....

God has spoken--- IN THIS WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE

Can anyone, anywhere in this world disagree with that statement?

Who does not have trouble at one time or another?

WHO?!

No one....that's who! Everyone has problems somewhere along the way...everyone

Jesus starts the verse telling us that "He has told us these things so that we may have peace"

That is where we find peace....real peace.

Peace that passes all understanding.

Jesus says something real simple next....BUT TAKE HEART.

TAKE HEART

TAKE HEART

He has overcome the world.

find that peace

search for it

seek it

dwell in it

John 16

time is short
life is shorter

Let the world KNOW what you KNOW!

DO YOU KNOW THE TRUTH?

the day is coming

i (almost) fear the sound of the trumpet

I know and yet I don't

will I be known?

I do know Him....I can see Him...I can hear Him

can you?

forever & ever

The ONE THING that you know.

I don't know if my beloved Philadelphia Eagles will ever win the Superbowl

I don't know if I will see Springsteen play at the end of the month.

I don't know if I will be at this same job in five years or even five months.

I do know ONE THING....for absolute sure.

I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that He loves every one and of that....I am certain.
