Ephesians 5 5 1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. [ a ] 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them. 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light i...

Today, Noah got his orange belt and we are so proud of the young man he is becoming. Not long ago, he started training to earn his black belt. Today, he graduated to his orange belt. We like the training of his karate program...to instill courage and discipline. (The karate belts in order...
White, Orange, Gold (Yellow),Green, Blue, Purple, Brown, Red, , 1st- 5th Degree Black). We are so glad for the path he is on.
On that note, my husband and I went to a movie today, Courageous... We really enjoyed it. It was a great reminder of the important things... This is the blurb from the movies' website: Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Protecting the streets is second nature. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That's courageous.
This is the trailer to the movie...
I do think God gives us all a hard calling. Life only matters if we answer that calling.
There is another movie about courage... Barnyard ....
The theme of Barnyard was really Courage ..wrapped in a humorous shell.... The theme: "Strong men stand up for themselves...stronger men stand up for others"... Courage... I am so glad the men in my life have some! Deuteronomy 31: 5 The LORD will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
(If He says it once study it... if He says it three times... NEVER forget it)... Joshua 1: 3-9 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. 7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
Before you jump to the conclusion that I am saying Christian are "brainless" sheep, read this post completely. If you still aren't sure, read this post: Are Christians brainless? Why does He call us SHEEP? ( The Bible makes reference to sheep no less than 220 times). A few of the more notable passages that come to mind are the 23 rd Psalm, Isa. 53:6 and John 10. There are many references to His People being sheep. So why not something more powerful, like a ram or horse? Why not something more graceful and valued, like a prized bird? Well, God chose to use the word sheep to identify His followers, as we are "His sheep." Our shepherd, Jesus, is leading the way, so let's look at the facts about sheep-the nature of sheep. Let's look at the facts about sheep- *Sheep aren’t intelligent . Sheep are not known to be smart or cunning animals when it comes to safety; rather, they are susceptible and tend to wander away from the pro...

There is so much in the news that paints Christians as unloving. Chick-fil-a didn't attack homosexual marriage, but defended traditional marriage. ..There are gay bars so why can't there be "Family" restaurants? Where is the tolerance for Christians? Our society is bent to believe that Christians are uneducated or simple minded. (I have three college degrees..). Our society is bent towards being intolerant to Christian principles and ideals. Why do Christians want these ideals, beyond God said it? Because working hard, treating people like you want to be treated, forgiving others, marriages (where no one gives up), ..are the things that are best for people. No one wants their possessions stolen. No one wants their children splitting time living with another spouse. No one wants their children not to have the influence of both a father and mother (as neither are replaceable). No one wants to be treated unkindly. ...
