YOU ARE NOT SUPERMAN

There are times when some events of life overwhelm us. Things at home or things at work can drain us. Sometimes we sense an urge to be "Superman" or even "God." We want to "fix" things or "make everything better." In reality, this feeling can be the source of great stress and tension. We sometimes have to admit that certain things can't be fixed; certain things will not go away. Got a problem, talk about it. It may not get "fixed" or go away, but you will feel better.

Good Evening, Kathy!

***HUGS***



A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours! Thank you very much for tonight’s Sunday Chapel thread.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

That one hits very close to home - even when I manage to let go then have deal with feeling inadequate to the challenge.

[PROCON]

Hiya Ma and Happy Lord’s Day to you! I am definately not a superman, just a humble man trying to follow God’s calling. Hope all is well with you.

Why Cause Grief?
February 16, 2014

Read: Hebrews 13:17-19

Obey those who rule over you, . . . for they watch out for your souls. —Hebrews 13:17

Bible in a Year:
Leviticus 19-20; Matthew 27:51-66

Pastors make an easy target for criticism. Every week they are on display, carefully explaining God’s Word, challenging us toward Christlike living. But sometimes we look to find things to criticize. It’s easy to overlook all the good things a pastor does and focus on our personal opinions.

Like all of us, our pastors are not perfect. So I’m not saying that we should follow them blindly and never confront error through the proper channels. But some words from the writer of Hebrews may help us find the right way of thinking about our leaders who are presenting God’s truth and modeling servant leadership. The writer says, “Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account” (13:17 niv).

Think about that. Before God, our pastor is responsible for guiding us spiritually. We should want that burden to be joyous, not grievous. The passage indicates that causing grief for the pastor “would be of no benefit” (v.17 niv).

We honor God and make things better for our church when we give honor to those He has appointed as our leaders.

Our gracious Father, thank You for the person
You led to our church as pastor. May we provide
encouragement and support, and may You protect
our pastor from error in both word and actions.

Pastors who preach God’s Word need a good word from God’s people.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...a tad late tonight.

I went to the blood bank and it took forever....it took two techs and one had to babysit the needle the whole draw. Unfortunately not too uncommon for me. But they got the whole pint!

Then when I got home, Firefox had crashed and took the thread set up with it. BUT...all is well now.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to the MacNessa family. Feeling better?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners

Seeing the “We Clear The Way” motto on the poster reminds me that according to their history, the 208th once dug 18 mines out of a six by six foot plot.

They must have been stacked on top of each other.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy Lord’s Day to you and yours, Pro...((HUGS))

Things going mostly well...minimum complaints.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners

Good evening again, Kathy! We are basking in the afterglow of our traditional Valentine's Day Dinner:


Scampi ConorMacNessa, Champagne Veuve Cliquot, bagette.

Feeling better, thanks very much! I still can't donate blood - need to get a little further along after the Prostate Cancer - another 18 months ought to do it.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

I watched the movie “Esther” this morning. It was fairly entertaining tho I am not sure how accurate it was.

They mentioned Xerxes plans to invade Greece quite a bit and Esther and Mordecai suggesting he not do so. It could well be true but I doubt there is any historical record of that part of the story.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to The Mayor family.

Thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Warming up some? Were you able to get rid of your snow?
