A Bulldog Attitude

Whatever you aspire to be or wherever you want to live someday,
keep within your soul a bulldog attitude.

It's crucial for success in every aspect of your life! Once a
determined bulldog gets hold of something between his very
strong teeth and jaws he does not let go!

You must do the very same in whatever place you currently
reside in your life, whether it's being an athlete, skilled in
several sports or a top salesman in a well~known supplement
company, you must be determined to obtain and keep that
bulldog persona for a success story to arise

No matter what profession you are in, even if it's one that
you seem to hate, start the day with the bulldog attitude,
strive to be the best  What you do and watch for good changes
soon come your way

This type of determination is a law just like the law of gravity,
when you hold a rock or pencil or anything else above your
head and you let go of it, what happens?, It falls to the ground 
every single time because the law of gravity is constant

So is the bulldog attitude! No matter what you do or where
you live, you have within you the makings of a great success
story and one that can be passed on to other's who anxiously
await for that certain something in their life to change for
the better and for their families best interest....it's right there.

Seeing Is Not Believing

  All of us have heard the catch~phrase, "seeing is believing", right? I would like to refute that phrase under the guise of what belief really is! Belief is trusting and trusting comes from having a genuine faith. Not just a flimsy, insufficient faith in faith itself but a certainty that what or who you put your belief and trust it is authentic and trust~worthy! Therein lies faith in it's authentic identity. Faith isn't just some whimsical hope in obscure, religious dogma or p practice! It is definitive in it's scope and life~altering in it's reach! 

The bible tells us in Hebrews 11;1 that, "Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things NOT seen". So clearly God has said that believing doesn't come from physically seeing that thing or action we hoped to gain but it is, at it's very core, believing and trusting without seeing first! Let's be sure we don't put the cart before the horse in this matter of faith! Faith is vital to all who desire a pure change of heart and spiritual~salvation for their soul! Again, it isn't that we put our faith in the action of faith but in s person. That person is none other but Jesus the Christ, son of the living God! It was his work on the cross, the pouring out of his own, precious blood that `played` the cost for our sin! He did this for all humanity out of the greatest love and compassion that has ever existed!  All for you and for me.

Another verse of holy scripture tells us that, "for we walk by FAITH not by SIGHT". So it is clear enough that even a young child can understand and believe in the person of Jesus! We see the unseen. The eyes of faith reveal it to our hearts and our action of "receiving" that good news ( the gospel) is what brings salvation. It's not difficult to trust God's word and walk in it's truth`s. He gives each man, woman and child the same opportunity!

For anyone who may see this blog and you have had doubt or skepticism about the bible, I would just ask you to read it. The gospel of John, in the new testament, is a great place to begin! It reveals the identity, purpose and personhood of who the son of God truly is. If your a person who likes action films, the book of John is stock full and if you like mysteries, it has those as well. Most importantly it reveals that God sacrificed his own son for us so our sins would be paid for and we would be set free from that payment! Being a Christian (little Christs) is not an easy road to be on in this life but it is the RIGHT road! 

Finally, I would add that my moment of true faith in Jesus came during my teen years and I put my trust in him at that time, though, I did not live for him and really turn my life over to his very capable and caring hands until the age of 28 and then my belief in who he is began to grow. I could see through the eyes of faith that the bible is true and that I needed God to forgive me, cleanse me from sin and make me "New". Wow, what a great decision that was for me personally! It cost me nothing but it cost God his only son! He is worthy of our dedication and praise to live for him, not ourselves. We can show that dedication to Jesus by serving those around us, those in need. 

We are the lights in this dark world. Let's shine bright for Him every day we can!

If God's People....

It's a direct command and a conditional plea from 2nd Chronicles chapter 7....God plainly lays out the plan for revival in this verse...."if MY people which are called by MY NAME will humble themselves and pray and seek MY face and TURN from their wicked ways, THEN will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and HEAL their land"! It's not complicated and its not a list of religious dogma. It is a compassionate plea from the King of heaven who just happens to love his people, those who are the saved, born~again Christians!

The opposite choice will result in the opposite of repentance! This message is clearly directed to God's own people, not to those who are not his by salvation in his son, Jesus Christ! The judgement of God begins with the church, even though this portion of the bible is from the old testament. It remains the exact same for the church of the new testament! There is no respect to certain people groups than for any other. God loves all of his creation the same and he is calling out to his children, those who have accepted the free gift of salvation by faith in the work that Jesus did for each of us! That being said, it does not mean that God loves any less those who have yet to call Jesus Lord and confessed their sin to him. His grace reaches to all and leaves none abandoned!

Without true repentance we all will likewise face the toughest of judgements! Because of the holiness of God he must stay within the truths of his word and treat any with
favoritism. You and I are in the same boat, brother. I am no better than you and, likewise, neither are you better in your relation to him than me or anyone else! It's not about us, it's all about him and the great sacrifice he gave for humanity. We aren't capable of righteousness apart from the Lord and it was our own sin that put Jesus on that cross! What is up to us is a true turning away from our selfish selves, release control of our lives to him and trust that he will do all that he says. That includes the wonderful promise that God "will never leave us or forsake us"! That in itself is the cornerstone of our salvation, the icing on the cake, if you will. Being a Christian, called by his name, is a very serious thing and eternity is in the balance of our own decision to accept him or reject him! The ball's in our court on that one!

So please let me implore you today to accept his free gift of salvation through faith in the LORD Jesus and become " born of the spirit", reborn, adopted into the family of God. To reject this eternal gift is to surrender your own soul to the fires of Hell, from which there is no end, no relief....ever! Please, please don't die lost.Let the grace of God speak to your heart today! The book of Romans tells us in chapter 10...."whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be SAVED"! It's that simple, folks.

Chemtrails? What's Going On?

  Have you looked up at the sky recently? If you

Have noticed the clouds appearing different or

odd~looking you are not alone. A very interesting 

strange thing has been occurring in our skies for

quite a few years now and some have called the

weird~looking clouds of chalky mist, Chemtrails!

  These trails come from jetliners that evidently

are equipped with speakers on each wing and large

streams of chemicals are deposited across the sky in

different patterns and the streams soon spread out~

ward into larger, chalky~looking clouds, but these

are not normal clouds! There are several assumptions

about just what type of chemicals are being sprayed.

Many witnesses are now coming forth with video~

evidence of these jets and the chemstreams being

deposited!

   As for the reason for spraying the skies above

with harmful and, some say, deadly chemicals is

anyone's guess. While there is video~evidence to

support this article, only those who are doing the

spraying really know the reasons for it! One thing

we do know for certain is that this is not a good

thing! There have been reports of skin~disease and

sickness caused by the Chemtrails! If this is true

that is cause for great alarm to all of humanity!

    I have personally noticed and studied these

planes and their spraying for over 7 years or so!

Over that period of time I have learned much on

the subject of Chemtrails and there effect on us

and it has brought anger to my heart! This is a

deliberate situation, in my opinion, and I strongly

believe that those who are `puppets of the dark

forces` behind the scenes are those who are greatly

responsible for this! Their intentions are sinister!

    We can speculate for weeks and months on the

"why" as to their purposes for the spraying. Some

ideas are that the Chemtrails are serving to pro~

text us from the uv rays of the Sun. Others are

that it causes weather~modification and actual

global~warming! One that I support is that the

Chemtrails are designed for weather~warfare! This

is very plausible if only for that fact of the

super power nations such as the U.S. and Russia

Have remained in a so~called cold war since the

1950s and are currently turning up the heat, if

you will! Each nation is attempting to `out man

uever the other`and these Chemtrails and weather

warfare is just the ticket to allow one or the

other to do just that!

    There is a spiritual/supernatural component

To this situation as well, in my opinion! That

is that our atmosphere is being transformed into

that which was sufficient for the intention of

allowing the fallen angels to return to the earth

and wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting hordes as

they did once before! It sounds preposterous but

it is absolutely a strong probability!

    With this being the case, the best defense

for Christians is prayer! We can and must pray

against these efforts and bind them in the holy

name of Jesus Christ! We have the power to do

this for God's glory, not for ours. It's up to

God's people to stand against spiritual attacks

and I believe these Chemtrails constitute just

such an attack! We must wake up to the efforts

of the enemy (the devil) and educate ourselves

To his plans and schemes! There can't be much

time left to do this!

    Let's stand together as believers, educate

ourselves and study God's word so that we will

be able to withstand these assaults on the

kingdom of our God!  Peace to all who read.

UFO Agressive Behavior Increasing

  In the most recent reports on ufo activity in the United States, several I~witness videos have shown the crafts hovering quite close to buildings and other

structures in very close proximity. The videos appear to show these objects

moving oddly around and then above the structures, such as the Arch in St.Louis Missouri and nuclear facilities in New Jersey. The past couple of weeks

have seen a marked increase in these sightings and caused quite an uproar

among the residents of several U.S. cities. The aggressive behavior of the ufos

is a disturbing indicator that there could be a change in their motives. What

their motives may or may not be remains a large part of the mystery as a whole.

No one can say for certain if the ufos are a threat to our national security or

exactly what they are doing here. Many other countries are experiencing just

as many occurrences as the U.S. With today's impressive technology we are

able to gather much more evidence than in past years, though critics of the

phenomena will always find fault with any kind of evidence, whether it's on

video or a photograph! As with any mystery the bulk of reports on ufos has

been mistaken identity, but a certain percentage of these qualify as potential

unknowns and unusual flying objects! The amount of solid data being gathered

is increasing exponentially and some researchers have said that, "it's an exciting time to be a ufo~researcher!"

From the 1980s to present day, the obvious increase in sightings and reports

of these objects/craft has some in the scientific world very concerned! This is

not, however, a testament of the majority of scientists! Most scientists do not

consider this phenomena a valid topic of study. Stephen Hawking is not one

of them! Hawking is quite concerned that making contact with any `alien~

civilization` would be catastrophic for the human race! He has been very

public with his comments as well! 

The smallest amount of serious research on anyone's part will reveal the ever

increasing activity and unnerving closeness of the ufos! Are we simply being

observed or is there a much more sinister plan involved here? I am of the

opinion that we may very soon find the answer to that question in a manner

not consistent with our natural way of life! It may well be that the occupants

of these objects and governments around the world are in some sort of co~

lusion with each other, planning to enslave the human race for their own

nefarious agendas! That's just one man's opinion here, however!

In the days and weeks to come it is my intention to further my own research

on this phenomena and, hopefully, gather as much information as I can,

personally, to help bring answers to those of us who are quite concerned

with these events. Whatever the situation may be I hope to be able to once

again bring the newest and strangest occurrences to you on this blog.

I want to say a very big thank you to each one who takes the time to read

this blog. It is much appreciated!

Wondering About The Mandella Effect

  Spending lots of time recently watching different videos pertaining to
something called, "The Mandella Effect", a rather enigmatic and muster~
ious idea that more and more people are realizing that their memories
of certain events and even particular products have somehow changed.
This idea is catching on with youtubers around the globe and is making
waves with it's strange subject!
   I am withholding my own opinion on the subject for the moment but
I intend on continual study of it until I know more. I can't deny, however,
the impact this mystery is causing in the lives of so many! Whether older
or younger these people truly believe that their reality, the one they know
so well, has changed. Some of these supposed changes appear to be subtle
while a smaller amount seems to be on a larger scale! I'm not sure what it
all means but I will say, positively, that those who are effected by this
phenomena strongly believe it is happening to them!
  I have no right or cause to deny their beliefs! Whatever this is it is an
incredible occurrence and it is spreading rapidly. In my opinion, it
demands further study and requires an open mind from those who are
drawn by it's mysterious subject~matter. Could it possibly be true? What
does it mean for humanity if it is happening? At this moment there is
much speculation and far too many questions to be answered, though
questions can be good when searching out a mystery.
  Maybe the answers will be different for each person involved or maybe
it will be the same answer for all, we can only wonder right now until
more attention from the masses brings this subject to the forefront of
the daily news headlines. Whether that happens or not largely depends
on those in official government capacities to `allow` it to be publicised.
As with many other situations and secrets, the government's response
Will no doubt state something along the lines of...national security...
and thereby shut the door on this mystery as with so many others.
  Until then, we can continue to do our own research and spend a week~
end binge~watching Youtube on this current weird phenomena. I would
love some feedback from my readers on this subject, pro and con, so we
can start a discussion on it. Feel free to comment my friends.  Blessings
