Are you looking for that special relationship?
What are you willing to give in order to enjoy a truly Godly relationship. Are you going to expect things or are you going to give and forgive again and again.
I like to hold things accountable to Gods word. How about you?
Am I going to hold you accountable to the point of a divorce??
How far am I willing to forgive?
We can talk about submission or head of or both being submissive to the Holy Spirit.
You know it seems like it should be real easy to find a life long relationship when we do the above things!!
But,,, That is not the case is it. Maybe we ought to ask ourselves what we're doing wrong instead of blaming every one else around us.
You know I can find something wrong with you!!
But the result will be no relationship.
I thank God for all of you!!

Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar bill seems like
such a large amount when you donate it to church,
but such a small amount when you go shopping?
Isn't it strange how 2 hours
seem so long when you're at church, and
how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?
Isn't it strange that
you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but...
you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?
Isn't it strange
how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible, but
how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel or ZANE GREY book?
Isn't it strange
how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games,
but they do whatever is possible to sit in the last row of Church?
Isn't it strange
how we need to know about an event for Church at least
2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda,
but we can adjust our schedule for other events at the last minute?
Isn't it strange
how difficult it is to learn a fact about God & share it with others;
but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend, and repeat gossip?
Isn't it strange how
we believe everything in magazines & newspapers,
but we question the words in the Bible?
Isn't it strange
how everyone wants a place in heaven, but...
they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?
Isn't it strange
how we forward and share e-mail jokes right away,
but when we are going to send messages about God,
we think about it twice before we share it with others?
IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?
Now that you've read this message,
will you forward it to anybody that you
consider a friend, family member, or enemy?
If you choose not to share His message,
you will be preventing yourself from being blessed,
as well as depriving others who may need God in their life.

I visited my older dutch friend at a dance at the Amvets place. Over a year ago I became acquainted with a lady that ended up in us each going our own ways. She ended up with my dutch friend. I was happy for them both because he did so much for her and she was there for him. He said tonight that its been a year next week that they have been together. I was happy for them both.
As we were sharing we got to talking about church and he said he went to church every Sunday. We discussed about how church place law on things etc.
Then I shared that if they were to ever get married I would like to be his best man!! I was joking of course. Then he said to me that he wouldn't be able to get married because he had a wife!!!! I had heard from others that he was married and had ten and they ran a dairy farm.I had also heard that his wife had cancer!! Sooo when he told me this about him having a wife I asked him how she was doing with her cancer! He literally blew up at me and figured that his girlfriend told me so therefore I must of spent some time with her!! I said no way that that had happened.
There was this other lady that had told me and she varified everything to him so he could have the chance to resume his relationship.
I told him he was out of line with everything and that he had better pray for direction and guidance.
I'm sharing this because I believe he needs to go back to his family and seek forgiveness.
This man needs prayer because I know his Father in heaven loves him. Soo would you please pray? Not only for him but all those involved? Thanks.

A way to lower the gas prices

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.
This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.
Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy gas on a certain day' campaign that was going around last April or May! It's worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!
I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down?
We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can Really work. Please read on and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.98 for regular unleaded in my town.
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace...not sellers.
With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.
The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas.
But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.
If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point..........keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers. If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been
contacted!
If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you!
Acting together we can make a difference.
If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
Keep it going

Handling my bondage

Another day, I don't know what binds up the heart . You say for you its fear, its hard to be glad for others when your in pain!
Again I agree. When my ex gave me a whole list of wrongs, it was only there to justify her leaving me. That hurt termendously.All along I think its me. I seek forgiveness. I blame myself. I ask God. I couldn't have gotten more humble. I was in sackcloth. I would have kissed the floor she walked on. In the end after she was gone,, All it was for her, was a way to make herself look clean so she could go out with her friends and do whatever.Now this is pretty general and not specific. It is not my will to make her look bad. I pray for Gods grace to be applied in her life.
While going through all this I had to trust God . Many financial changes, seven to care for. These were homeschooled ,in church regular, worked on the farm at home.
In one half a year divorce was granted by me. She had her own house. I had mine and 90% of the marital debt was paid off.The only reason it went quick and smooth was because we both agreed that the court would only hinder the process.
I loved her through all this . I hurt at the same time. I could be angry ,but what profit would be in that?
Yes I had many issues that I argued but only found that what ever I could control I controlled . What I couldn't control I paid for it. In the end God covered me through it all.
Its not about what I want. I desire a peachy life style but the reality is that its not always going to be peachy.I will always be faced with making decisions every day.
Today a car drove towards me in my lane ,the car never slowed down ,the car could have gone back to its on lane but chose to stay in my lane. At the last second I decided to go up on the sidewalk in order to try to avoid a head on crash.The car went right by me and continued to proceed in the wrong lane of traffic till it was out of my sight. The police were going past me a minute later. I 'm assuming the car must of ran into something further up the road.
Again, I pray that God will spare the innocent lifes and the driver who was going up the wrong side . There apparently was something majorly wrong.
I have to fight against my own flesh because it wants to get even. I can't let my flesh get in the way, but I have to discipline myself to find a Godly answer and then get on with my life.
Again I don't know why I'm sharing this. I pray for Gods direction through it all!

HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY!!
Easter is early this year. Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.
Based on the above information, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22)�that�is rare.
Here's the interesting information. �This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives!�And only�the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier!
Here are the facts:
1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).
2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!
Interesting

I think we so much want to feel like we're not alone in the world , so if there is not a lover then a friend will do. Just anyone to talk to so we don't have to be alone.We want to feel needed and we want to be respected. As long as we feel this way we will get selfish when our needs are not being met.We demand this attention .As a result the lover or friend has to perform or lose ground in the relationship.
When we love someone we want to see them blessed. There won't be a selfish motive. We'll just want to be near him or her and we'll want to see them happy. We won't demand all whole lot,but we'll give whats needed to be a blessing.
We live happily here because there is no selfishness.
Life becomes routine and the excitement is in just being together.
If something goes wrong like another relationship problem , as long as its discussed and forgiveness is sought then the relationship goes back to normal and all things are forgotten.
I call this being there for someone else and this is a great place for me to live.
