Time to move....

Ok, folks.....I'm moving this weekend to here. See ya on Monday and have a blessed weekend!

I'm comin back into circulation...LOL

Hello friends, just wanted to let you all know that I will back up after transferring over to Wordpress with a lil' help from my friends. I should be ready to go on Monday...in the meantime, here's a little food for thought...

Paul Harvey says:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin , but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his Theory of Evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game.

So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.


And I wouldn't be offended.

It wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in Rome ..

But what about the atheists? Is another argument.
What about them?
Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating; to pray before we go to sleep.

Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.
God, help us.

And if that last sentence offends you, well . just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority don't care what they want. It is time the majority rules! It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray; you don't have to say the pledge of allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right .. But by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away. We are fighting back
and we WILL WIN!

God bless us one and all ... especially those who denounce Him , God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest nation of all.

God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.
2007 will be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions... and our Military come home from all the wars.

Just a thought...see ya Monday ;)

Hi there friends,

Just a short not to let you know I’ve decided to lay my blog to rest for a bit. I’ll still be stopping in and saying howdy now and then, and I’m sure FC will continue to be a source of blogging frenzy, but I need to focus on other areas right now. Love you guys, and I will be reading and contributing on occasion…..You guys have been quite the blessing in my life….blog on!!!!!

Love you,
Deborah

Oh the things that make me smile.....

There were Five country churches in a small TEXAS town: The Presbyterian Church, the BaptistChurch, the Methodist Church, the Catholic Church and the Jewish Synagogue.

Each church and Synagogue was overrun with pesky squirrels. One day, the Presbyterian Churchcalled a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels.After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will..

In The BAPTIST CHURCH the squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week.

The Methodist Church got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creation. So, they humanely trapped the Squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.

But -- The Catholic CHURCHcame up with the best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.

Not much was heard about the Jewish Synagogue, but they took one squirrel and had a short service with him called circumcision and they haven't seen a squirrel on the property since.

Daddy.....

InWorship's latest blog got me thinking about my own Daddy. He will be turning 79 on the 15th, and I have truly been blessed in my life. I remember looking up to him and telling him I wanted to dance. We would go around the room for what seemed like hours with me on his feet. He was and is my hero. I know alot of people didn't have a good experience growing up with their Fathers, but being blessed with one like my Daddy, it wasn't a huge step for me knowing the love of my Heavenly Father. But I know for some, when your earthly parents don't treat you well, or if you don't experience the attributes of God in people, it's hard to image them from a loving God. I thank you Jesus for your patience with us. I've spent alot of time on FC the last few weeks. The Lord is impressing more and more on my heart the burden of people who don't know Him. But there are many who call themselves Christians, who don't know Him. It can become so overwhelming, we choose to do nothing. There are times when I am literally on my knees or even lying face down before the Lord and crying out on their behalf. I know the broken heart I feel is nothing compared to His, but then I realize there is nothing He can do, until they ask. I will still pray tho, I will still ask on their behalf.

I pray for each of you as well who may not have had the best relationship, or are carrying a burden today. Lay it at His feet, only then will you be able to take His outstretched hands, step on , and dance. Thank you Abba.

AHHHHH…..Happy Monday! My hubby loves to restore antique tractors…..it’s one of those things that if he gets the chance, he’ll spend the whole day outside…..til it runs. He says he never worries about what they look like, only that they run by the end of the day. We spent this weekend at the Harvest Fair locally, and it was just an old fashioned kick in the pants. There were crafts, food, tractor pulls, everything simple and old time.

I started to think of how the simplicity of the weekend made me relax. We were so busy, going from booth to booth, and an old fashioned church service outside in the arena. But something about going back in time a bit, and just enjoying the old things, made us relax. It was a memory worth repeating and looking forward to next year. Of course a lot of my thinking was about God, and how He takes us and doesn’t worry so much about the cosmetics of the outside as He does getting us to run right on the inside. You can put coat, after coat of paint on something, yet if it doesn’t run or realize it’s strength, it’s just still a piece of pretty junk. Getting the inside in line with Gods Word, will make the outside shine, regardless of how we feel.

There are over 55 verses about restoration……my favorite has to be

Hosea: 6:2 In just a short time, He will restore us so we can live in his presence. (NLT)

What a wonderful day that will be!
