“Is your loyalty to Jesus out in the open?

God put us in this darkened world

So, let us always teach the truth
And keep our colors bright. —D. De Haan

Our loyalty to Jesus should be seen and heard in our lives.”

this is such an important and often neglected point of truth.

Father, help us in our day, to remember we are your ambassadors to/in the world, in Jesus name, amen.

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

oooppppssss! Forgot to provide the scriptures for this above post

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 (King James Version)

“17.Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

18.And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19.To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

20.Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

21.For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him”

” Genesis 2:15 says, “The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” God delights in what He has made and this extends to the sea and all that live in it (1:10,20-21).”
___________________________________________________________

Man has two driving interests, money,and selfishness.

We forget to consider unintended consequences. In the pursuit of making life (better) at the cost of depriving others later down the road. Reaping what we sow, sooner than we expect, and more than we expect.

Father God, forgive us our selfish thoughts, and deeds, help us to come into oneness with Your instructions and be lead by You LORD. Without You we can do nothing. Help us turn, repent, and do what is good and right, skewing evil and embracing the wisdom and power of God's Word. We are greatly blessed, let us be a blessing to others in this life, in Jesus name, amen.

Happy FRIDAY, Meg!

Hey, Auntie Meg!
Look at my LEGGINS!
I'm wearing RED for our troops today!

[tiapam]

Maybe you should wear this today???

LOL!

[geologist]

We each in our own way fill in the chinks, cracks, and blots on the beauty of God’s world, much abused by the thoughtlessness of mankind...
My view today.

Father, forgive us for we know not what we do. O LORD help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen. Amen

"How about Alligators???"

Nothing more relaxing or soothing than being on a boat, is there? (In water, of course!)
