Church

Everyone needs compassion,
Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.

A great reminder of how our King, Lion of Judah, remembers us! And, how we can trust Him!

Praise Adonai by John Wyrick Band

This song moves me in ways words can't describe..

Lyrics
Calloused and bruised/ dazed and confused
My Spirit is left wanting something more
Than my selfish hopes/ and my selfish dreams
I'm lying with my face down on the floor
Cryin out for more
Cryin out for more

So Give me Words to speak
Don't let my Spirit sleep
Cause I can't think of anything worth saying

I love this song! How true...

Blessings to you little Ethan and Family...

Lyrics

I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

That is a statement my sister would have said a few years back. And, even today she still may say it. I suppose many people in the USA feel the same way.

Although my little sis says those kinds of things, I don't believe that she truly believes that. There have been too many divine acts in my life for her to honestly rest in that thought. Plus, she has said "if God was real why is he letting bad things happen in this world"?

That is a very good question I wish I could answer on this post. It is a very important question and deserves a lot of attention, which I don't have right now to give. I can say that many people have debated this very question, atheists and religious folks.

Yes, my daughter brings me more joy than I could have ever imagined. She is a wonderful child. Yes, she does give us problems but the joy she brings over shadows the grief infinitely - at times :)

She is now beginning to understand that she can't explain everything in words. So, what does she do to get us to understand? She pulls us to where she wants something done! I feel like a dog being pulled by my master. I say that laughingly but the thought did occur while I was being showed what she wanted and could not speak.

I just wanted to share with the online world another testimony that God answers prayer! Ok, so here is what happened.

Last Wednesday I was sitting at the table talking with my wife. Suddenly the left middle outside area of my back began hurting, pretty intense pain. I shifted my position thinking I was sitting wrong. The pain subsided a bit.

I like to take the time tonight to share something that happened in church last week. As I have already shared with you, from time to time I have visions, while singing and worshiping God. I can't recall the song that we were singing, but I do remember that my wife and I were holding hands while we were singing it. Sometime in the middle of the song my daughter began playing around the chairs so my wife had get my daughter's attention to keep her from being in other people's way. At that point, I closed my eyes and began to worship and this is what took place.

From time to time I will be in a deep thought and see some form of vision. This can happen when thinking about a friend, business, or spiritual things. Vision may not be the right word, but what I see is like a video played before my eyes which I do nothing to turn it on.

Yesterday while singing a song about "crowning Him" during church service, this vision thing happened. I saw all these people, men and women, walking around with crowns on their heads. The song was talking about when we meet Jesus in heaven we will be crowning him with many crowns. What that exactly means I can't say but I do know that if he truly is the King of kings (King of justice, love, common rule, the universe etc) then he will be honored with all types of crowns.
