Come on Mt. Dew do your magic

This is one of theose rough mornings, It seems like i'm moving around with a 50 lbs. weight on my back. But that's common for how i feel after Wednesday nights. I'm so excited to see the growth and health of our youth group lately. Last night i was able to see many faces that i hadn't seen in a very long time.

Are there times in your life that you may seem tired. It's around 9:30 am and i still can't seem to get going. Once agiain God shows and reveals a glimpse of Himself in our time of need.

Col. 1:10 or so says, "We pray that you have the strength to stick it out over the long haul- not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives."

You know the Red Bull commercial were it says it will give you wings. Rather than a fading and temporary boost of energy from a Red Bull I hope that you can soar on wings like eagles and find your strength in Him this day!

Sausage Biscuit and Diet Coke

Well, what an already amazing day. God is going to do something huge today I can feel it. Have you ever felt that way just going into the day anticipating that something incredible is going to happen. Joe and I were able to lead Bible club at a local elementary and middle school today and it was incredible. Joe is an amazing guy incredibly humble and willing to serve the Lord in any and every capasity. Thank the Lord in heaven from saint that are willing to step up and answer the call.

I stopped and got a biscuit and Diet coke from Mickey D's and all is well with my soul and my belly!!

Today i didn't make it far before God said stop listen to Me and my word here. Paul and Timothy are writting to he Church at Collose and and Paul is trying to reel in the Christians as they are substituting other teachings in with the Word of God. Incredibly the church of yesterday is similar to the church of today. Paul is attempting to restore Jesus, the Messiah to the center of their lives. Why do we allow our lives to become offcentered? It's much like a car that needs an allignment; the car is constantly fighting the operator to veer off the road and crash. Why do we want to crash so badly. But Paul mentions that he continues to praise the Lord give thanks for them. Col. 1:3-5.

Here is the part that is amazing to me. Col. 5-8 says in a paraphrase, that God's words is true and it never diminishes or weaken over time. Anybody know anything about Economics? I know that I may loose a few of you out there by an even mention of the word, but their is a law of economics that is called the Law of diminishing returns. It simply states that if I'm dying of thirst and I find a large glass of lemonade and take a drink at first it will be incredible and being to quench or thirst, but the second glass may not take as good at the first, then the 3rd won't be as good as the second, and by the 4th glass of lemonade we fill like we want to vomit. Well, the Word of God says that it never diminishes. It is like a 5 couse meal for the hungry, and if we being to eat of it we can never be satisfied.

Are to being satisfied with the things like the Church of Collose? Are cosmic forces getting equal billing with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If so begin to feast on Holy Word of God and be truely satisfied.

Have an incredible day!!

Inspired?

Well, here we go. The mission behind this blog is to hopefully inspire you to live this day for the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are reading this as a critic maybe you should stop. This Blog will be updated every morning immediatly following my quiet time with the Lord. I will share with you what God is saying to ME through His holy inerent word. Currently, i'm just beginning a study of my favorite book. Colossians. I'm excited, I just spoke with the Pastor, that from this point on I will call Drew, and he was telling me of an intrest to begin a study on ther book of Colossians. So obviously, God has something amazing in store for us. Let me mention I may not be a master grammatician. I'm just trying to relay God and His majesty through the written word of this medium, the internet. Once again, this is not meant to be a subistitute for your own quite time, This is simply how the spirit revealed His word to Me on this particular day and time in My life. Hope you enjoy this adventure together. There may also be some tidbits of non essentials in here so bare with me if you will.

Grace and peace to you from God the Father. Col. 1:2b

Grace and peace. God is the giver of all things good. What is Grace, other than a beautiful name of a little girl i know, the unmerited favor of God. There is nothing in myself that is good and God looks upon me through the blood of His Son and loves me anyway. Man I really don't reserve His love for me. I've often wondered how much grace does He have for me, I'm sure that He has run out. But the price of his grace for me was paid with the Blood of Christ. God is Good.....!!!! Praise him for His grace.

so what about peace? one onf the Fruit of the Spirit. If I allow the spirit to be in control of my life things will be peaceful, even in the midst of storms, even thouse wonderful, beautiful trajedies that God allows us to go through. The creator of peace the creator of grace. What can I say we serve a big God.

I'm praying that each of you this day will be inspired to live, seriously, live, not exist, but live!!!!
