Thoughts About a Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving !

Happy ThanksgivingWhat I’m thankful For This Year

I’m thankful for our Heavenly Father. He loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die on the cross to pay the price for our sins. That is pure grace and love. He gives us a way to get to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ. If you’re a nonbeliever reading this, I pray that you will accept Him as your Lord and Savior.

Gods heartI’m thankful for my husband.  I love you more and more every day. God brought us together and our marriage has been a gift for a lifetime.

I’m thankful that I live in America

Still the land of the free and the home of the brave.

I’m thankful for our extended family. We love the holidays and also those fun visits. We look forward to many more in the coming year (with a new baby in tow).  🙂

Family

I’m thankful for *NG and *SG, our beautiful sponsor children. May God bless them and their families and we look forward to getting to know them.

I’m thankful for my friends. I cherish each and every one of them. I love our phone calls and our visits, even those texts which can go on for quite awhile!

And last, but certainly not least, I’m thankful for my three goofy and lovable Siberian Huskies. They keep us laughing every day, despite all the mischief they get into.

A Nifty Way to Memorize Bible Verses

Do You Have Trouble Remembering Bible Verses?

I know I do.

memorize Bible verses

Half the time I can’t remember where I put my car keys. 🙂

Anyway, I still try.

I’ll pick a verse from the Bible, recite it back perfectly for about a week, and then it starts to slip my mind again.

I really admire those people who can rattle off verses without even a thought.

How do they do that?

memorizing the BibleI know, I know. It takes practice and commitment.

Is there another, potentially fun, method for folks like me who want to get better about memorizing Bible verses word-for-word?

The answer is YES!

Have You Heard About ScriptureTyper?

It’s an online service with a mobile service option that can help you commit to memory Bible verses of your choosing. This is a really neat tool.

Here’s more information:  ScriptureTyper.

Now you can check it out for yourself. If you’re pressed for time, here’s a short 2 minute video that will give you an idea how it all works.

If it could just help me remember where I put my car keys. 🙂

Unforgettable TobyMac On Tour

TOBYMAC TOUR – TAPS LOCAL VOCALIST AS BACK-UP SINGER!

What a headline!

Okay, it didn’t quite go that way.

I can dream, can’t I?

TobyMac tour

As you may have guessed, a few nights ago, my husband and I went to see TobyMac in concert. 

Woot!

I’m a huge fan.

Did I say HUGE?

I’ve already forgiven him for not asking me to come up on stage and sing with him.

I mean really, I was right there and available to join his backup band.

Oh well.

I’ll have my people talk to his people.

By the way, do you have “people”?

Yea, me neither.

On Tour With TobyMac

TobyMac was one of the best, most dynamic, fun concerts I’ve ever attended.

I would go see him again in a heartbeat.

Here’s some information regarding his tour schedule in case you’re interested.

He sang all of my favorite songs, including “Lose My Soul.”

Here’s a video so you can hear it too.

You might as well call my iPod, the “TobyMac song catalog.”

When I’m driving, I like to crank up the volume, sing along, and annoy the cars next to me.

Thank you for a GREAT concert, TobyMac

We love you here in Texas!

Let The Church Rise

a life lost

Let The Church Rise

If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s a great song and, essentially, a battle cry for all of us.

One of the things I want to do with this blog is to share songs I come across that really touch me. Christian music means a lot to me.

This is a song that we sang in church last Sunday. It’s called “Let The Church Rise.”

Here’s a listen:


I hear that song and I think of the state of our world today.

Increasing darkness and anti-God sentiments coming from some very loud, miserable and lost people.

There’s also lot of distressing news on television every day.  Sometimes, I just turn it off. A constant diet of joy-killing news isn’t healthy.

Who Put the Moon and the Sun In Their Places?

I have to remind myself that, despite it all, God is always in control.

Always, always, always ….

Always 🙂

Amen!

Go and let your light shine

Let the Church rise from the ashes

God Bless America and the Midterm Elections 2014

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

On the heels of the historic midterm elections where Republicans gained control of the House and Senate, I can only say Praise God!

The people of America have spoken. Is there any way we can take our country back to godly values? Unfortunately, with politicians, there’s no guarantee.

Did they tell the truth when they ran their campaigns or was it simply political rhetoric? We’ll have to wait and see.

God bless America

Freedom Isn’t Free

Freedom is a precious thing and we can’t take it for granted.

*Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable. – John Stott, Christian Pastor (1921-2011.)

Apathy was a big problem in the last election and too many non-voters resulted in a takeover of liberals in high office. Now we’re in a mess.

Hopefully, these election results will signal a change from the anti-God agenda that has been so distressing over the past several years.

I was thrilled to see that many of the newly elected candidates are Pro-Life. They’d better stay that way.

Another praise God moment!

It floors me that some liberals have the gall to say the government has the right to determine that one life is more valuable than another. I’ve seen the liberal trolling on pro-life websites and it breaks my heart.

This abortion holocaust has got to STOP.

If you haven’t seen this yet, I wanted to share a video of one of my heroes – Gianna Jessen. She’s an abortion survivor.

Her triumphant story is truly an inspiration and worth the watch.

God bless her and you!
