It Seems

   My mind is quite occupied with the national weather situation which is assaulting much of the central part of the country and expressly over the Ohio valley. I live in the so-called Bluegrass State of Kentucky and the wintry mix is currently reeking havoc here. As I gaze at the doppler radar display over the weather app on the tv it is awash with multiple colors, signifying a huge area of freezing rain, heavier and colder rain, some light snow and the dreaded ice. I'm awed at the amount of freezing rain and ice falling in multiple areas and with the slow, deliberate path the storm is taking. It's quite astonishing.  

    Over the last year the weather seems  to have become much more intense and severe for much of the earth. The climate has shown a drastic shift and there has been a dramatic uptick in solar flares combined with large cme's (cornal mass ejection's) from the sun. These ejection's have had direct impacts on the earth and the recent, strange weather anomilies are the result. The fall of 2021 and the winter of 2022 will go down in the history books as some of the most severe in centuries.

   The strange and severe weather patterns are just a part of what is currently happening on our planet. Societies are crumbling under new waves of crime and economic calamity for many countries. The numbers of murders worlwide have increased dramatically and poverty and famine are spreading due to lack of supply and government upheaval. The leaders of many nation's are 'cracking the whip of totalitarianism' upon their people in order to gain more control and bring greater hardship. These leaders are relentless in their plans.

  Certainly the greatest of worldwide calamities has been the Covid 19, or Corona virus, which has remained as a threat to humanity since late 2019. The cases of Covid19 have continued to soar in some parts of the world but in others there have been dramatic drops in reported cases over a six to seven month period. Ironically, Israel tops the list of increased cases being reported over the last six to seven month period from 2021 to 2022.

   

   

In Due Time

 What is it, exactly? This fascination, maybe even obsession, with time travel. What is the conclusion I am attempting to come up with? My thoughts have been inundated with the subject of this most mysterious conundrum for as long as I can remember. 

This life-long interest in the possibility of traveling through time can be quite unnerving in some ways. It has occupied my days and nights with such extreme imagination that I have often wandered into some type of fantasyland, if you will. I admit that I have allowed these straying's to fulfill an unusual fixation to find myself in another place...another time. It's all in good fun. Is it not?

If you would, allow your own imagination to explore the possibility of time travel. To be able to, with the aid of a very sophisticated machine or computer or, perhaps, by using your own mind. After all, our minds are the most sophisticated and complex computer of them all. Within the atmosphere of certain Hollywood films some of the characters use only the vast depths of their mind, their brain-power, to traverse the boundaries of time travel. The very idea excites me even as I write this now.

I would invite you to come along with me and let's explore, together,  the endless ideas that can be exhausted concerning this wonderful and controversial theme of moving through the cascade of time.

The State Of Ky Basketball

    It's certainly no secret that the year 2020 will be remembered as one of the most difficult in history. So much of our society was severely effected by the Corona virus pandemic that spread throughout the world. Here in the US it has been traumatic and many have died from it and many other's have been infected but managed to recover. All areas of society have been touched by it including the world of sports, both college and professional. 

Right here in the basketball-crazy bluegrass state our beloved UK Wildcats were on their way through a rocky season and to a berth in the NCAA tournament in which many thought they would have a deep run. Those expectations were cut short as the entire 2020 NCAA tournament was cancelled due to the pandemic. The local fan base was disappointed, along with those across the country, but we all understood. Sports had suddenly taken a back seat to this pandemic. Our priorities were instantly altered. Though we loved our Cats and wanted to see them advance in the 'big dance' this was a highly volital situation with the health of our loved ones and neighbors at risk. 

Basketball is a great game and here in the bluegrass it has few rivals but it's still just a game. Did I say that?Yes, I did. The virus has infected entire teams in many sports and games have been cancelled and continue to be. It's a small thing to reschedule games but it's secondary to our way of life. Our love for sports will unlikely change and that's ok but caring for our loved ones should never change.

With all of that being said I would like to address another area of concern for me as a basketball fan and UK Wildcat officianado. Like many, many people here in Kentucky I have grown up as a lover of the Wildcats. From my upbringing in the 60's and 70's to the present decade I have watched, cheered, studied and critiqued the Wildcats teams. I have my all-time favorite players (too many to name) like so many other's and those players who stoled our hearts are fondly remembered. We have certainly had much to cheer about through the years. 

I do, however, have a huge objection to our current team and to the legacy of coach John Calipari. Perhaps my point of view is skewed somewhat but it just appears that since his inception as head coach of the Wildcats Calipari has recruited players that he could 'mold' into becoming NBA stars instead of building the kind of collegiate players to win championships. You can certainly object to this narrative but I believe, after taken a closer look at the last decade, you will come around to the same opinion.

I will not criticize Coach Calipari for his recruiting. He certainly has done a fantastic job, albeit through his assistants, mostly Kenny Payne, and brought great talent to the program. I do, however, question his on-court ability to coach his teams through tough games. Let's face it, the current team has lost more home games than any other team in recent history. For we diehard UK fan(atics) that's simply unacceptable. I understand that different teams face different hurdles and obstacles to learning the system here but when you bring in a fresh group of players right out of high school each year or two it is going to 'sour the recipe' for continued success, in my opinion.

We love our Wildcats and we want the kind of team-success we are used to here in the bluegrass. I admit that we are quite spoiled but when you grow up watching one of the best college basketball entities for decades you become accustomed to winning and winning 'Big'. We want championships, not NBA superstars. 

It is my hope that coach Calipari will realize what the fan-base at-large is saying and that the reason we have such high expectations each season is because we are used to it. It's normal for us and since the Covid-19 outbreak has changed everything that we call 'normal' we would just like to ask that our beloved Kentucky Wildcats get back to their winning ways and to what the fans consider as being normal. 

I dont believe that is too much to ask. It would bring a large portion of the fan-base back to the fold and could energize the entire NCAA college basketball landscape. Many of us prefer the college game over the NBA, by the way.

I will briefly touch on the objection I have with the most recent situation surrounding the Wildcats team. I do not want to linger in this subject because it is volital and one that I think has serious implications away from the game of basketball. Because of the recent Presidential election and outcome and everything that has surrounded it, the world of sports, both collegiate and pro, have become a hotbed of political stances. Many players and coaches have 'decided'to use their platform to display their displeasure with the President and the unfortunate violent outbursts of radical extremists. They have chosen to kneel at the pledge of allegiance instead of standing for its heritage. In their defiance to the nation's flag and to the freedom it represents they have shown great disrespect, despite what many think is otherwise. 

I understand that this is a very sensitive area to tred in but it needs to be said, I believe. Sports and politics should NEVER mix. Can we please bring back the 'old' standard of basketball that we all love and admire? Our nation could certainly use the familiar diversion of entertaining sports and exciting competition in the midst of the current struggles we face as a nation.

What`s Our Priority?

Its certainly not breaking news to anyone that the Corona virus has disrupted and haalted much of our daily lifestyles. This (plan)demic has caused catastrophic interruptions in the worldwide economy, not to mention the loss of lives, and still wreaks havoc on the lives of families across the globe.  

As the world governments appear to be trying to 'manage' the spread of this illness they are at the same time tightening the restrictiins upon societies everywhere. It wouod seem that the main goal is not to eradicate a severe illness but to use a (supposed) epidemic to bring about a global lockdown which serves their egostical purposes.

At first glance one could easily say that their wicked ambitions are working. There is growing civil unrest in our American cities, family breakdowns in many households, rampant divorce among couples and a rapidly increasing hatred of God and all that is considered good. The American dream has been exchanged for the American nightmare.

Dont misunderstand me, please. There is no doubt that this virus is real. It has taken many lives around the world and is still a dangerous threat to even more, but I would encourage you to look at the numbers being given. They are not accurate. If anything, they are greatly exaggerated.  The WHO and the CDC have lied to us. Their aim is to mislead in order to secure more control.

Fear is a great weapon of the enemy and he uses those who have 'dark hearts' in order to advance his wicked schemes. So many are willing participants in this game. They are blinded to spiritual things and this world-wide plague is just one of their platforms being used to deceive the populations. Sadly, so many are being led by the nose into oblivion.

As a born-again, Spirit-filled believer in Christ Jesus I am deeply aware that this scenario is a form of spiritual warfare. The devil is adamant about using sickness and disease to stifle his enemies. He often receives help from us because we ignorantly go about telling him our weaknesses. Our words give us away, just as scripture explains to us.

When the Lord Jesus came to this earth he brought healing and victory. The bible tells us in Isaiah 53 and verse 5..."by his stripes we ARE healed". We are already healed by his precious blood. That's physical healing AND spiritual.  Being saved, born from above, is great health to us. Yet we very often plead the opposite. We give the devil 'a place'. An opportunity to strike.

We are to speak life and health, not sickness and death. This practice is very foreign to the world but when we became a child of God we instintainiously became strangers and pilgrims in this world. We are the real 'weirdos' to others. We no longer belong here. That's great news, actually.

As I ponder the condition of this earth, the pandemic, the unrest and violence that has spread throughout the nation and the growing hatred to Christianity, it grieves me and I know it breaks the heart of God. He loves us ALL so much yet we turn our backs and mock him. It's a terrible indictment upon mankind. 

I am convinced, however, that with much prayer, fasting and seeking his face, we will see a great change come and a revival to our land soon. I have to believe this and I am expecting it. I pray that it starts with me and that the fire of revival will be kindled in my own heart today. 

May the Lord God help us to see the errors of our ways and humbly repent, asking his forgiveness.  We must to this or we will see our nation fall very quickly.

Can I Really Trust God?

When we are children we fully trust our parents to be our providers, our protectors and our nurturers! It comes to us 'automatically' and we don't seem to have any problems doing just that! So as adults, why does it seem to be such a difficult thing to trust God, the creator of the entire universe, with our daily lives? Why do we hesitate to give over our cares and concerns to the one who can easily handle it all and provide everything we need in the areas of health, finances (a real big area), marriage and raising our children right? Is it supposed to be so difficult? No, not at all! Especially for those who call themselves Christians, who have put their faith in the blessed word of God and in the death, burial and resurrection of his son, Jesus! Fact is, however, that we do have a hard time putting that same kind of simple, unadulterated, faith in God to take care of us, always! We may feel that there is something 'extra' that we must do in order to bring about the results we are hoping for in a given situation! We just want to "help God get things done" and feel better about the situation, whatever it may be! News flash....God doesn't need any help from us to get things done! Did that hit home for anybody? It did for me!

I have a great deal of difficulty 'letting go' and letting God take over! After all, he is in control of it all anyway! He holds our very next breath in his hand, so why am I fearful that he can take good care of my own life? It doesn't make good sense, really! Worry is a common thing among Christians, sadly! For us to worry about certain things is a contradiction against the LORD and his saving grace! It goes against his character of loving us unconditionally! When we worry about anything we are telling God that he can't take care of us! Are you serious? The Almighty God created the universe and you in his own image and, yet, you say he can't do what you can do by worrying? That borders on blasphemy, folks! It's also absurd!

The LORD did not "save" us in order to leave us alone to fend for ourselves! He has promised that he "will never leave us or forsake us" (Psalms 9:10) for any reason whatsoever! He is faithful and his love for us is a constant love! You can depend upon it! In order for our lives to be blessed and secure, we must learn that we can fully trust God! To do otherwise is disobedience and sin! God deserves much better from us!


If we are struggling today with insecurity and worry over situations that we have no control over but God does then we need to take a "self examination" and fix the problem! Here's a hint....it's a "heart problem'! It's my prayer for us all that we begin today, right away, to make the change needed to put our trust in the most High God and rest in his power to meet all of our needs!

Is It What It Seems?

• This life we have been given is not to be squandered or to live 'half hearted'! It's meant to be lived with the fullness of discovery and adventure! God expects us to live it with lots of energy and excitement, if at all possible!  Of course God knows that we all have struggles and hardships, as does everyone we know, and he knows what our future holds for us, already!  None the less, he stills watches and 'roots' for us to make it a good life, filled with new adventures and discoveries of our own potential and that of those we meet everyday! It's not complicated at all...God wants us to win! We are born to be winners! Born to be overcomers and encouragers as well and he has equipped us to do this! This thing we call 'life' can be fascinating, curious and terrifying at the same time with situations and circumstances which are out of our control, but we are still meant to live it! For those suffering from physical illness or disease, you may question the purpose of your own life and that's certainly understandable! It's quite a different existence when one is physically disabled or ill, but you can still find your purpose, your calling! Being sick or disabled is NOT your calling and you are NOT limited in your purpose! There are things you may not be able to do, and perhaps, much you can't do, but you still matter and you can add something unique and powerful to society! There are those you can reach that someone with good health may not be able to! You can still 'live'! God isn't done with you yet! With your own, personal gifts, you can serve other's and contribute much to this life! On a spiritual and an emotional level, we are all different! There are areas of humanity that we are just now beginning to explore and to discover! Areas of the brain that we have never attempted to utilize as yet! Indeed, our brains may hold the key to much of our existence! I'm not necessarily talking about anything physcic or para-normal but on a spiritual level! After all, I am convinced that God created us and since that is my belief, I am sure that our brains are probably the most complex and technical computer in the entire world! How can we fully know it's capabilities? There must be an endless amount of new information just waiting to be unlocked within our very own brains! Perhaps the cure for every disease is waiting in the fabric of the human brain! Maybe a new technology which would allow mankind to travel the stars or inventions waiting to be discovered that would revolutionize the way we travel here on the earth or in space! It could be that the most dynamic mathematical equations are pushing their way forward inside this tiny brain, waiting to be discovered! So much is possible and much has been learned about mankind's brain that is quite exciting!  Whether you are a map-maker, a fireman, a doctor, a librarian or a writer, you have something to offer which could be the spark that lights the next 'big' thing to come in scientific or medical all discovery! No matter what we may have been told by someone who "doesn't know any better" tells you that you aren't going to amount to much, you must ignore these words! You were miraculously and wonderfully created and you have a specific 'assignment' to complete and, most likely, it has much to do with helping others! We are all here for each other, despite what we have learned by the life we have been 'made' to live!  I say 'made' because the so-called 'powers that be' have dictated to us! Those people are what I call, "life suckers" or "dream stealers", and they have no claim on our lives!  God is ready to reveal to us the plans he has made for each of us before we were even born! A perfect plan to prosper us and not to harm us (Isaiah 26:11) and he is just waiting for us to realize it! No matter what stage of life you might be in, you are ordained by the Almighty to succeed and proceed, ahead, 'full steam'! Today is the day and your journey is just beginning!

The Second Coming Of The New Age

Our Battle part 2

  It certainly seems like Christians worldwide are immersed in many forms of persecution and trials today! So many of friends and aquaintances of mine have expressed their own, personal struggles and attacks from every side, it appears, and much of the trials touch the area of health! I can't help but think of Job who became a target of satan in his attempts to mock God and tempt Job to turn his back on God! Neither attempt succeeded! In fact, Job was such a 'godly' man that he was blessed abundantly by God after going through a 'hell on earth, including a wife who wanted him to "just curse God and die"! She didn't have the faith that Job had and he called her a 'foolish woman for her unbelief and stupidity! The devil had to tuck his tail and run away after that miserable effort!

God is always faithful to keep his word and he does so even today! We don't need to doubt our creator! When he says he will " never leave us nor forsake us", that's just what he means! During the fiery, horrible trials of today's Christian lives, we can still count on the rock-solid promises of our heavenly Father! The Lord Jesus very often reassured new believers that he would never leave them or turn away from them, and he never did!  His word was always kept and is still, today, at this moment of our lives, as rock-solid as it was thousands of years ago! Much of what we read in testimonials has to do with a particular, or several, physical illnesses, and our health is just about the most immediate need any of us have! Jesus always met someone at their greatest need, health! The woman with the 'issue of blood' for over much of her life comes to my mind! While she saw Jesus walking among a crowd, she said to herself, "if I can only touch his clothes, I will be healed"! She had great faith! When she approached him and finally was able to touch the edge of his garment, Jesus 'felt' strength leave him and he turned to see who had touched him, though he was well aware of it all along, and he saw the woman! She was made well from that moment! Her faith made her well! The lepers that Jesus beheld and had mercy on were all healed, though only one came back to thank him! After seeing the grief of Mary and Martha, Lazarus' sisters, and grieving himself for his friend, The Lord raised Ladurus from the dead! Wow! Are you kidding me? Nope! He actually healed a man from death and made him live! Now, I would say that that is the best doctor in the world to have around! Wouldn't you? God is full of mercy and he will not change anything in his character! He is our healer! Our doctor! He is ready to heal us when we are ready to believe it! Faith is the key that opens the supernatural doors!  Jesus also raised up a man's precious daughter when she had fallen ill and died! Her father was grieved but he knew, by faith, what to do! He had to get to the only one who could give life back! He had to get to the doctor!  To Jesus! 

So in todays world, among all of it's excruciating troubles and trials of sickness, money-woes, family breakups and death, we can still go to the 'true doctor' of our souls, Jesus, and get the spiritual medicine we need from his word! He doesn't change! Hebrews 13:5 let's us know that! The Lord will not change, ever!  He is the very same healer, father, best friend and advocate (lawyer, if you prefer) today as he was when his good friend, Ladarus, had died! No different!  Our battles have not changed either in all that time! Scripture is very clear when speaking about this situation, as well! The battle is not in the 'physical world', though that's where we live but its in the 'spiritual world'!  We fight against our friends, co-workers, government (my pet peace) and against our loved ones when that is not the true area of conflict! The bible is a supernatural book, as my friend, L A Marzulli often says, and the war we are constantly in is a spiritual one! We can only gain victory in that world by weapons of faith! Not faith in 'faith' but faith in the power of God! He is the mighty King and warrior, not us, after all, and its only through his power and might that we can trust to get us through the most difficult days and moments of our life! One of my favorite bits of scripture is found in Hebrews 11 verse 1, which states it all clearly...."NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"! It's the "NOW" kind of faith which leads us to see where the victory is...in Jesus! It's not in us! It could never be in us! We are weak and mortal and we aren't very trustworthy, let's face it! But in Christ, Job was victorious, as was Lasarus and the woman with the issue of blood! It works the same way for us who are modern day believers! Our warfare is "not carnal, but mighty THROUGH GOD, to the pulling down of strongholds"! (kjv) and when we realize that crystal-clear truth, we will be able to move ahead into this thing called life and nothing will stop us, short of death, which is only temporary anyway!


Be encourage believer and stay in faith!  Walk forward not backward in your faith!  We win!

Space Race 2018; What's All The Fuss?

With President Trump announcing his plans for a sixth branch of the military, his Space Force, and Elon Musk revealing further plans to travel through our galaxy in order to colonize Mars and other planets along with news from the Japanese orbiters on Mars revealing some "interesting discoveries", it certainly seems like a brand new 'space-race's is about to break out!

That's quite interesting and compelling to me! I am old enough to recall the first 'space race's of the 1960's between the United States and Russia and how volital it was! Many people still believe we (the U.S.) got there first, when in actuality, the Russians made it to space before we did! That seems a little academic at this point but one could say that the tension to realize the dreams of some and the mandate of other's (Trumps initiative) can be likened to the previous race!

We would do well to mention here as well, that, in recent year's encounters with ufos and alien species has greatly increased, reportedly! Sightings of ufos is certainly nothing new to our society or to many other societies for that matter and the number of reported abduction cases has also been on the rise as well! We should not be at all surprised, given the reports, that a renewed sense of urgency has prompted several governments of the world to quickly jump into 'warp-speed', if you will, and grab hold of the lead in the revived space race! It makes for a very interesting and engaging summer for those of us who enjoy news concerning space, astronomy, exploration and, maybe, most importantly, Star Trek, and to get just a little excited!

Here is to the race to space and to the adventures ahead!  Warp speed everyone! 

The Mercy-Seat

The Mercy-seat atop of the ark of the covenant is the location of where the blood of the atoning sacrifice by the Jews in antiquity was spread! When Jesus Christ died on the cross just outside the city gates of Jerusalem, his precious blood was shed to be the atoning sacrifice for my sin and your sin, as well as being the very blood spilled upon the top (left) portion of the mercy-seat on the ark of the covenant, sitting directly under the place of the cross of Christ! Over 600 years before, the ark was hidden under the place-of-the-skull called, Golgatha! Only Almighty God could have orchestrated this awesome miracle for Ron Wyatt to discover in the 1990's!

An amazing story and fact which has taken much 'heat' over the unimaginable finding! However, God's plan is perfect and no man, fallen angel or satan himself, can deny it! All glory goes to the LORD God of the universe!

The Trial Of Our Faith

There is little doubt that those who profess themselves to be true, "born-again believers"in the LORD JESUS Christ are finding that they are being bombarded by what the bible calls, 'manifold trials or temptations'!In many countries throughout the world there is severe persecution upon Christians! It is especially harsh in the middle-east countries, as many know! These persecutions are part of the life of a genuine 'believer in Christ's! The normal, everyday afflictions that are just facts of human life have to also be factored into the equation! It is, however, a tragic fact that the Christian religion (though it really isn't about a religion) is suffering far more persecution in the entire world than any other to date! That isn't new! The reality is that this persecution has gone on since the days of Jesus, over two thousand years ago, and it does not show signs of slowing down any! In fact, it seems to be escalating! Many mid-east Christians lose their life or are imprisoned for their faith! That was commonplace during the time of the apostles of Jesus! It's the same today. No difference at all, except, maybe, that it is much worse now! I might be guilty of speaking out-of-turn there but I think you get my point! In 1st Peter 1:7-9, we see that Peter was speaking to those who were "new" Christians throughout the area around Greece and trying to encourage them during their many trials (manifold temptations vs.6) and trying to teach them that the "the end of your faith, even your salvation" was what awaits them when this life is over! We must, as true believers, be willing to lay down our own life, in full, at the feet of Jesus and be his servants! Servants are not slaves! If we do this 'willingly' he has promised to give us great reward and the power of his 'Holy Spirit' to guide us during these hard times! The question is...are we willing to do just that? To lay everything we own and everything we are (our very soul's) are the feet of the LORD in order to gain the "life more abundant" which he has promised to give us during our time on the earth. The best part of that deal, I believe, belongs to us as we get to have 'eternal life's and spend it with Jesus and those we love who were saved! Man, what a deal! Are you willing to, if I may borrow a line from a friend, "put all your money on Jesus", and give up everything here in reverential trust? Or are you afraid of losing your family, job, marriage, health in order to serve him? It's tough, but the best thing's and opportunities in life are the toughest ones to gain but they yield the very best 'returns' on our investment! Life is hard and the life of a 'real' Christian is, in many ways, much harder to live, however, it is well-worth the fight! Don't let the enemies of God influence you! Give your "all" to him and watch the amazing results of God's goodness show up in abundance!

Time And Time Again

Time travel. What a fascinating and difficult topic to discuss! For much of my life my mind and spirit have been fixated upon the enigmatic proposal of time travel! Whether it is really possible or if my own imagination has devoted a large area of space to this very unconventional subject, regardless of it's validity! I just love thinking about it! I have question over and over again if there is enough science to 'back it up' and, if so, how do I go about exploring it? Where do I begin? If it works, will I ever return to the present or will I be lost in a black hole, roaming through dimensional space for eternity? I'm pretty certain that would not happen, but it is worth thinking about.

Since the young age of 14 I have continually written articles and short-stories which were devoted to time travel and I don't see any evidence of slowing down today. Somehow, I think, this subject is important to me, on a very personal level! I have no idea why...yet! My determination here is not in doubt. Only the methods by which I must proceed are in question! I must determine where to begin! It is vital for scientific study and even spiritual significance, in my opinion! God is my resource in any case! The quest will be worth every second of effort, for certain! No time to waste....hahaha!

Into the future or back to the past? Which will it be?
Some have said that there is biblical evidence of traveling to an appointed spot in the future, as in the case of Paul, the apostle, and on the Mount of transfiguration for Jesus, Moses and Elijah! Based on this biblical evidence, I am much more comfortable in proceeding further. There needs to be tons more research done in order to even know what it is I'm looking for! I'm looking for answers! The journey to finding more knowledge begins with a first step! As with anything important, dedication, patience and determination are invaluable tools one has to have! I am convinced that I possess all three of the requirements, thank the Lord!

Excitement and adventure are my guiding motives right now, along with a great deal of curiosity! It's a quest for knowledge, after all! I can go no further than God has previously determined, however, and it is my intention to abide by his rule of law! My love for the LORD and my desire to learn more are basic 'driving-forces' that guide me, above all other notions! Without God in my life, I may or may not have been consumed with finding the answer to this puzzle, but it is certain that I wouldn't have the inner drive to keep going! I give the LORD all the credit for giving me this desire to know and to even consider this quest! The glory is all his!

I realize I could have put a bunch of scientific theories on the subject in here, but I don't think either you or I would get much out of a swath of statistics and diagrams proving or disproving the theory of time-travel! Wouldn't be much fun and this, on a small scale, at least, is meant to be fun! If it wasn't fun I wouldn't do it! Sounds just like an adventurer, doesn't it? Let the journey begin....somewhere....and let us jump in with both feet, set our moorings, prepare the ship, and...well, you know what I mean! Let's get busy and find our answer, together!

In Due Time

We are told in Romans 5;6 of the Holy bible that "when we were without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungodly (me)"! That is very encouraging to me and it's the main reason I have titled this article after the mid-section of the verse! I hope it brings encouragement to you as well.

Thinking about being "without strength" can cover much ground in a Christians life! We are constantly bombarded from every side with temptations and we are thoroughly worn out by daily routines such as our job or business! Our time with family, especially with children, comes with greater demands today than was the case just a few decades ago! We do, however, 'sign I'm for this duty, despite the fact that we like to pretend we didn't! Our lot was chosen and we are either "all the way in" or we aren't!

Each of us reaches a 'breaking-point' at some time or other in our walk! It's almost inevitable! For men, it's normally a physical break, but for many women, it's much more an emotional one! If you have been married for any length of time, you are certainly aware of this fact! That's an extra bonus for you. No charge! Being married to a mate who is supportive of what you are trying to do for Christ is essential but not critical, in my opinion! Whether your mate supports you or not is really irrelevant when it comes to serving the LORD! We are called by God to serve, first! All other relationships, including marriage, are secondary to this call! If we are blessed to have a wife or husband who has as much of a desire to serve God as you do, so much the better! It certainly lends help to us from a natural standpoint! A good woman is not hard to find if you allow God to do the picking for you! The same goes for finding a good husband, ladies!

In Due time, to me, speaks directly to any moment, or moments, when we face our 'melting-point'. In times of weariness or weakness (spiritual) finding out that God "has our back" can go a long way and propel us to greater heights of service for him! It is vital that we keep this perspective fresh at during those times! The enemy is here to destroy the believer-in-Christ, remember!? Being re-newed with His strength will allow us the means and power to continue on, no matter what satan throws at us, and we, in turn, bring glory to God with faithful endurance and service! After all, doesn't the LORD deserve the most effort and sacrifice we can give? He did it for us and we didn't deserve anything at all! God is awesome like that! Be blessed, folks!

Marzulli Hot On The UFO Trail

My friend L.A.Marzulli (I call him that because we are both Christians) brought us a new video this week about disclosure of the UFO phenomena and what Christians should be learning from it to prepare for the time when this will hit the news worldwide. There is no one better at searching these things out and putting the light of God's word on them!

L.A. strongly believes, as I do, that the 'great deception to come' that is spoken of in the new testament of the bible clearly shows that UFO's will be a big part of this! I am sure of it as well due to research of God's word and due-diligence of reorts of abductions and more and more unidentified crafts in our skies!

Many Christians in todays local church don't give ufo's a thought while other's steer away from the subject in ridicule and fear! Some call we who study such things, a 'little off' and wasting our time!

I say..NOT!..This phenom is real, burgining and not going away, as Marzulli regularly states!

The old Chinese proverb...keep your friends close but your enemies closer...should fit well right here. Its my prayer that many more Christians will open up to this real threat to God's people and to those who are lost! The eternal soul is what is at stake! God loves us all and wants us to be with him and these creatures twist that story, bigtime! They claim to some that they are humankind's creators! On each Friday night on the History channel propaganda is forced down our throats and the show Aliens

has managed a huge audience of the curious and those who have had personal encounters in their lives. this show provides theory and many opinions from the hosts' along with nice techno-babble!

For now, though, Christians need to educate themselves and stand on the front-lines, ready for battle because it's just over the horizon!~

May the Lord God bless us and help us
