Finding good dirt is hard. It take a lot to be good dirt, no rocks, no weeds, no contaminates. With good dirt the see will grow. are you good dirt? Are are you holding on to some rocks or weeds you know you need to let go of. If you are ready to let go of those rocks, He will help. just ask. He is waiting for you.

"Praise!"

We are the orchestra and God is the conductor. He has a grand plan of a symphony. And we all have a part.

Sometimes we feel like we are all alone. But we must not forget that there are others working in this grand plan. We make our music and hope it is the best and lives up to what God wants.

And sometimes we are called to be a soloist. And we feel we are not right for the job.

But God knows what he is doing and there are always others helping. We just need to keep our eyes on the conductor and he make the symphony out of all the individual interments.

Come and make music and hear the symphony of God. The name of the symphony is "Praise!"

When you want a harvest.

When a farmer wants a harvest, He prays for a harvest. He gets seed. He prepares the grown and puts the seed in to the ground. Then, he waters there the seed is. He keeps the weeds from growing faster than the seed. He watches that the insects do not eat the plant. He makes sure that the frost doesn’t get too close and kill the seed. Then by the miracle of God, the farmer sees the fruit of his labor and reaps his harvest.

What a harvest the farmer receives.

Why then do Christians pray for a harvest and plant the seed and then do nothing expecting God to do everything. Maybe God has something for us to do while we are waiting for the plant to grow. Maybe we should have prepared the ground by praying before we sew the seed. Maybe we need to water the ground or pull the weeds. Maybe we need to keep praying and keep our mind clean. And, maybe we need to wait while the harvest ripens before we take the harvest.

Are you wanting a harvest? Have you prepared the ground (prayed about it). Have you sowed your seed where he wants you to sow it? Do you continue to water it (pray for it) Do you for opportunities God might be giving you to have a harvest? Are you preparing for the harvest by keeping the commandments? Keeping a pure heart?

When you do, maybe then God will give you the harvest for which you have been praying and waiting.

Is life a roller coaster?

Roller coasters are scary until you realize that you are on secure tracks that keep you safe through the twists and turns of the ride then it becomes fun. Let God be your tracks. Then no matter how your life seems to be going you will know that He will keep you safe and have some fun. How knows where God will take you.

Are you making a mark or a shadow?

In this world we all try to leave our mark. We put together a life that we think will stand the test of time. We build houses that are made of brick or stone instead of wood because it lasts longer. We plant shrubs and lawns and trees thinking everything will last and look pretty. But how long does it all last. Sure bricks last longer than wood and trees last longer than lawns but even so how long will it lasts. Most of us go to work earn some money to go home and spend it. a car or two a house maybe a boat. I was along with everyone. Working 11 months so I can take 1 to vacation enjoy my house and thought I was doing all I was supposed to do. I went to church so I would not go to hell. Took the children in my life with me so they wouldn’t go to hell too. That was my “outreach”. Good! Right?

Yes, it is good. But is it enough? God sent his son in hops that no one would be lost. But how can they be found unless someone goes and tells them. When I finally, really, understood that scripture; I found my purpose in life. When you follow Christ you call others to Him. Not just save yourself, but reach those around you for Him. Everything else is temporary. Only discipling the lost lasts forever. Only seeing a lost soul find Christ is eternal. Everything else is like our shadow. It makes a difference as long as we are here making our mark. But when we leave so does our impact; so does our mark.

Don’t leave a shadow make an eternal difference, disciple the lost.

Having a good time!

I wake up and feel good and clean. Get dressed and go to work. When I get off work, I go traveling, camping, playing, and having a good time. Little by little I start to get sweaty. Little by little I get dirty. When I am having fun I don’t realize how dirty I am. How my appearance has changes. Sleeping outdoors and eating junk food having a great time. Then I get home and I start to relax and feel dirty, sticky, and gross. I take a shower and start to feel great. Eat some good food and drink some water. Now I am really feeling better. Hum, is that how it is when you start to miss a service? State to live a little in to world? Listening, watching and believing what the world says? You don’t even realize how your appearance has changes. How your attitude and speech has changed.

It is time for you to have a shower and eat some of God’s good food? Is it time for you to turn back to Him? He is waiting right by your side. He has been there all along.

Read the Word, eat some of God’s good food, and renew your mind.

Birth Pains?

Mark 13:8-10:
8 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in many parts of the world, as well as famines. But this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.

As we have seen many earthquakes near and far last year and starting this year off with a large one in our back yard. Only minutes after the earthquake in Haiti we had one here in Honduras. In fact, we have had more than 35 smaller earthquakes in/or near Honduras in 2009, over 14,000 in the world. Thanks God the largest at 7.3 was off shore and 6 miles below the service. It was felt in all of Honduras and Belize as well as some parts of Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua.

Our hearts go out to Haiti and the people there; this is truly the first of the birth pains.

What more will come?
