boring: days off, the Sunday series & now training


Frank Olvera's avatarThe Christian Noob (n00b)

I took a few days off. I’d not felt as continuing with the Sunday Series and now I’m off to training in some computer system I could hardly care about. Maybe I’d continue working on Sunday Series sometime next week.

God and us.


angelanowak's avatarWriting for God's glory.

A tiny, unidentifiable bug was making its way on my laptop surface. Before I had to think much about it, my pointer finger crushed it, clearing the invader off! I would not hurry to tell my Buddhist friend about it, who delights in all insects, as well wild rodents, she reassured me. But, in contrast to that bug, I was empowered. It felt quite pleasant. I was in charge. Sometimes in life, we desire to have control, if not over politicians or celebrities, but at least, the bugs, for mercy sake. That invaluable, ignorant creature could not possibly accomplish anything whatever for me. It was quite worthless. What is a conclusion!

Several days later, as I went with my reflection on the matter, realizing how unimportant we, as humans are, compared to God. (For those who do not acknowledge there is God, there is yet a chance you don’t know…

Called to come up higher


darylgstewart's avatardarylgstewart

I am Daryls wife, Joyce. I know that Daryl has posted here for a long time and that many of you have encouraged him. Yesterday he heard his name called in Heaven and left our earthly home for his Heavenly home. He was the love of my life and we were married for 48 wonderful years. He was truly a man after Gods own heart. We, his family, will miss him more than words can express. Please hold us up in your prayers as we walk this long, difficult road. May God hold each of you in the palm of His hand till we meet at Jesus’ feet.

Are you tired and weary? When I was sick he healed me. When I was hungry he fed me. When I had no where to go he found a place for me. God has not forsaken you my friend. Taste and see that the Lord is good.

The Price of Special Treasure


Sonshine Seeker's avatarSonshine Seeker

The Price of Special Treasure.
“In His presence, a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared Him and always thought about the honor of His Name. ‘They will be My people’ says the Lord of Heavens Armies. On the day when I act in judgment, they will be my own SPECIAL TREASURE.”
Malachi 3:16-17
“O Lord, protect your people with your Shepherd’s staff; lead your flock, your SPECIAL POSSESSION. Where is another God like you, who pardon’s the guilt of the remnant, over looking the sins of His SPECIAL PEOPLE?
Micah 7:14,18 NLT
“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for THE JOY that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Heb. 4:12. NKJV
We are the joy that Jesus died for. We are…

Time to Give it a Rest!

How many years have passed since you have been so bitter that you served notice that your son or daughter is not welcome back into your house until they repay a debt or until they come back and help run the family business? Has it been years since you’ve been angry with your children for leaving you to stay with your estranged spouse? How long has it been since you vowed to disinherit them if they married someone you disapproved of and they married them anyway? Have you extended the bitterness toward your estranged grandchildren too?

Everybody that knows you is aware that you are still angry with your children, because you can’t stop talking about it. Just the very mention of their name subjects anyone within the sound of your voice to the verbal prosecution of your children’s’ offense towards you. I don’t know how…

YOU MATTER


Yomi Awoyemi's avatarSTARESSENCE

Everyone has an essential part to play in the whole of humanity. All you must do is follow your path to answer the call. Your Talents/Gifting may not be shimmering/blinging in the light like someone else is, It may not be encrusted in diamonds or have anything to do with the Glam or the performing arts.

However, YOU are very valuable. You have something no other person has and if you don’t RISE and SHINE that light within, there would be a disconnect in the process of God’s design.

The Greatest Mystery of all Mysteries in life is to Discover the treasure yet untapped on your Inside. YOU MATTER

Comparisons will limit your Potentials. Creativity, Sense of Individuality and eventually destroy your purpose.

The bible illustrates this in a more elaborate way:

One Body with Many Members

Detoxing from….a bad job


sueannporter1's avatarSueAnn Porter

I haven’t blogged in months, it’s true, so hello readers!

Years ago, when I left a bad job situation, it took me a while to process through all the emotions and anger, and I refer to this process as “Job Detox.” That is not to take away from the seriousness of drug and alcohol detox. Just terminology to acknowledge that sometimes it takes you a minute to find yourself again after leaving a job.

I started my most recent job a year and a half ago, after being out of the work force for a decade due to many reasons, cancer and family being among them. I had hoped to go back into Computer Programming and had taken some up-to-date programming classes, but that was not the door that opened.

It was Retail.

This scared me, as my last retail job was during my early twenties, when I was still…

weird: New York City Proposes Changes to Make It Easier for Transgender New Yorkers to Change Their Birth Certificates


Frank Olvera's avatarThe Christian Noob (n00b)

always wondered about this…

New York City is one of 57 independent jurisdictions in the country that is responsible for birth registration. Since 1971, Article 207, section 207.05 of the Health Code has authorized the issuance of new birth certificates for transgender persons. This section of the Health Code has not been amended in 43 years. Currently, to change sex on a birth certificate, the following are required:

  • Court-ordered name change
  • Proof of convertive surgery, generally interpreted as genital surgery, with:
  • Surgical operative report; and
  • Post-operative exam by physician specifying change of sex was completed

http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2014/pr039-14.shtml

although still a taboo & damnation in the Church.

A good illustration from the book of Acts is the account regarding Cornelius, a devout and God-fearing Gentile who did not know Jesus Christ.  God sent an angel to him in a vision saying that his “prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.”  Nonetheless, God instructed Cornelius to send for the apostle Peter whom God at that time (also through a vision) was commanding to go to Cornelius and preach to him the message of salvation regarding Jesus Christ.

Peter spoke to Cornelius and his household saying: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right… He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that Jesus is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.”

Easter, Ishtar or Resurrection Sunday?


Andy's avatar

easter-bunny-2Does the following sound familiar?—Spring is in the air! Flowers and bunnies decorate the home. Father helps the children paint beautiful designs on eggs dyed in various colors. These eggs, which will later be hidden and searched for, are placed into lovely, seasonal baskets. The wonderful aroma of the hot cross buns mother is baking in the oven waft through the house. Forty days of abstaining from special foods will finally end the next day. The whole family picks out their Sunday best to wear to the next morning’s sunrise worship service to celebrate the savior’s resurrection and the renewal of life. Everyone looks forward to a succulent ham with all the trimmings. It will be a thrilling day. After all, it is one of the most important religious holidays of the year.

Easter, right? No! This is a description of an ancient Babylonian family—2,000 years before Christ—honoring…

“Freeing Myself” – The Grey and the Wayfarer


Ed Raby Sr's avatarThe Grey Wayfarer

Happy Sol’s Day!!!

It been a long time, but long overdue. Here I am writing. This year has been very hard from “The Grey” point of view. I have been existing without any real purpose and I am finally getting sick of it. The boredom and loneliness have been pretty much the cause of me shelling up. COVID be damned because I still could do a lot of things right now – writing among them.

It’s the whole damn situation again that bothers me.

I miss dreaming of a better future and then going out and achieving it. I haven’t achieved anything I really wanted this year and it sucks. I am not sure what is causing what at this point – Is the Grey causing my lack of ambition or is it the other way around.  All I know is it is a vicious cycle for me.
