Dear Friends at Amy’s Place...
UGANDA UPDATE
My second cousin Sydney has made it home safely from her mission to Uganda!
She’s no doubt sleeping for a day or so from the long trip. I haven’t heard any details yet about her mission.
Thank to all for their prayers for her safety!
ALSO ON THE DOGGIE FRONT....as I posted a while ago, we lost our dog Bailey to a heart condition(dialated cardiomyopathy) this month.
THE GOOD NEWS,,,tomorrow the husband and I are going to visit a doggie at a doberman rescue and we hope to bring him home with us. From his description and pictures and talking to his fostermom, he is a good fit for our dog Bart and for us too.
Everyone have a blessed Easter!
Thank you, dear “younger” friend!!!
Thanks, SJB. I think that graphic is precious and so appropriate for Support Our Troops Friday.
Hope you’ve had a great day. Have a Blessed Easter.
That is wonderful news, TCP. So happy that Sydney is home safe and sound.
The Doggie news also sounds very good. I know he will have a good home and he and Bart will become best friends.
Hope your day was delightful and your Easter is Blessed.
Glad to hear it went as well as it could!
You are SO brave to go through that!
Get some rest, you deserve it.
: )
God Bless!

And that they learn more than a few seconds before they get ZOTTED big time!
A very dear friend sent this to me in email this week.
I apologize for the length - but wanted to share it with all:
A little history lesson
You should appreciate this.
Genesis 47:13-27
ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS IS WOW!!!!!
RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE-STIMULUS SERMON
I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia a hug and a high five. This guy is obviously a leader.
Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is.....It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years.
Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us? ......(reading)...
Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray... So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt , and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.
So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock -their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year..
But the famine wasn’t over, was it? So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. “There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food,and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh..” So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh’s government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain.
What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters?
That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery? Yes.. That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master?
Yes.
But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt , in the land of Goshen .. And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.” God provided for His people, just as He always has! They didn’t end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions! But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one.
We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to “share the wealth “ once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind. And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.
What Mr. Obama’s government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh’s government did then, and it will end the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr.Obama a “Messiah,” don’t they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn’t the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, “You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh”?
Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. Obama is no Messiah! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh. Bow with me in prayer, if you will...
Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says “And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day..”
And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh’s government.
In God We Trust...
Amen and AMEN!!
Have a Blessed Easter Amy.
