I had to say my piece about what the world calls a christian and what is God's Christian.................................................................................................................Christian as the world defines it, or the bible defines it? A follower of Jesus who believes in the "infallible inerrant word of God [the bible] good for reproof and direction in and out of season"....Christian means a bondservant slave to God....not my will but his will be done...we decrease and he [God} increases in our life......people do have different beliefs and do what is right in there own eyes which almost always mirrors the worlds rules....Christians of the bible do what’s right in God's eyes and follow his ways.....and many stumble...we and those in the bible when we stumble God will bring it to us and we ask for forgiveness learn and go on.....Being a Christian isn't only when births deaths depression weddings love........it is from the time you get up in the morning asking God to show you the way to be like Jesus overflowing with the fruits of the spirit....happy sad angry bored scared....all day.......to fallen asleep at night.......how you live affects your whole life, it defines who you are....people stand in judgment of the bible and pick things they agree with and overlook what they don't like. So yes we do disagree, but I will bring that up as this is what I have learned. Kinda like going to college…….I have to follow the rules if I am to go to a particular college....curfew....writing papers, showing up in class....if I want to be apart of and succeed I have to follow the rules.....so a Christian when reading the bible applies those truths.......A Christian talks about God Jesus and his word.........being a Christian is about God, not us ……..I love what Greg Laurie said about the bible being a two edged sword “ the bible is a mirror, when we look at it we see ourselves and cannot lie“……Jesus is God with a face another terrific picture!..............................................................................................          this is how a christian follows.....my Jesus

I have been getting ready for valentines day….Jaylee’s class has cards to give out…what preparations cards, box to store her valentines in….we chose a gift bag instead and glued hearts and ribbons on it…….she is very excited to be doing big girl things……birthday parties 2 so far….hers coming up on the 27^th being 6 yrs old……being a parent from a wheelchair hinders the family……..Nancy thanks so much for calling!! Hope you weathered the Minn. Storm and stayed warm!! I so wanted to talk but no cam or microphone on the “pu-ter” Jaylees words!! When Jaylee comes home from school I have to cajole her to do homework and if she is sick….good grief…..crying whining yelling……..both of us!!…I will email you Nancy !! I have been getting emails of a Muslim person urging me to convert……I have sent 1 email that took me 3 hours to write “why I believe in Jesus” “who Jesus is” ….so now the another one I have to answer and I will but its going to be short!!…….I have been watching CNN News and FOX News on the stimulus package….Keith olberman….Rachel Maddow………Bill OReille….Glenn Beck……it is very difficult to figure out what is going on. I have to say the smug looks, comments name calling and belittling jokes are unbecoming to people who should know better…I can only take a few minutes and change channels….I probably flip channels 20 times an hour!!…… I think in congress dems-repubs…….it is young against the old…….young want to fix it NOW not caring or realizing the full consequences…..old take their time knowing what the consequences could be…the way I handle money is not to spend all my money but to take care of bills and spend less when I know difficult times are ahead….it seems dems are having a tantrum to spend this huge amount of money their way…..I am reading in Isaiah a NIV Bible so it gives commentary’s and elaborates on each of Isaiah’s Chapters…there is one particular commentary…..“yet God will have compassion on his people and will rescue them from both political and spiritual oppression”…..reading some of the intro on Isaiah it is Jerusalem then and now………I can visualize my future in the bible when it speaks of the prophecy’s…I am so glad God has given us the Bible , I know it is true……it is the only thing that has been written that right from the get go I can believe every word….there is so many false teachings and false interpretations and words…….I weary myself sometimes in this world thinking and over thinking each move or not thinking at all as in the case of “born again American” blogged earlier….I am so grateful to God and Jesus who has given me a future…..Jesus sacrificed his life for me for you and yes Muslim friend for you too. ….and no I will not convert for all the money in the world…….I have found my pearl of great price…..Jesus the only BEGOTTEN son of God!! Christianity is not a “religion”, it is a relationship with God =].........oh and church, thanks Pastor David!
