Lyrics to a Steve Camp song....He Covers me
I usually do not post lyrics to songs on this blog, but, I just could not let this one past my eyes, it came in the form of a poem.
He Covers me....
Oh Lord, I feel so barren and ashamed of who I am
How I often fell
I hid it well
A lie I cannot defend
So I lean upon Your mercy
As I confess my sin to You
It is no easy way
No saving face
When you finally see the truth
Let my life be fill with only You
Sometimes the pressure builds atound me
And I feel about to break
I suffer patiently from wrongs done to me
But vengence isnt mine to take
Let me glory in my weakness
Until Your strengths revealed in me
It is Your Grace alone that helps me carry on
To be the man(woman ) I long to be
Let Your life be perfected in me
(Your the Light) Until its You they see
I know that someday I will be free
the weight of sin shall be released
But for now He covers me
And though the trials never end
I learn to take them as my friend
For each day He covers me
And though heartache surrounds me
I know Your love is around me
Nothing can separate me from You
OH! Lord I know its true.....
Ladies...take this to heart...
We are going to really need it in these last days....LEAN ON HIM, TRUST Him, Depend on Him.....to be all you need and allow Him to Cover you....
Love to all who read...

Awake my beloved...
As you all know, Mondays we are going through the book, "Created to be His Helpmeet"....We are about 1/2 way through it....There is much more to cover...sooooo, stick with us....
Awake my beloved....
This is a letter that the Pearls(the authors of this book) received from a real person...
When I picked up your book, called "Holy Sex", I was afraid to read it. I thought you wou would tell me that what I was feeling was wrong---but you did not, and instead you have given me a wonderful gift.
We have been married for 26 years, and our love is getting better as we grow older. This part of our mariage has always been fulfilling, we each seek to please each other. I have a wonderful partner in bed and I am blessed.
Enjoying my husband has always been fine with me, but I have experienced a deeper longing and a "hunger" for him. I thought this was wrong. Times when I eand touched him from head to toe, for me were feelings of adoration and sometimes worshipof him, and I felt it was all wrong. I loved him sooo much, and I desired to pour all of my being into him, but I struggled with whether it was right to do so.
There are times when I am so into him that at the end of our intimacy, I weep. He has asked me why, andIi can't explain, other then, with all that I am I feel grateful for his love. I feel completely satisfied.
You have helped me accept that our Creator designed us to be spirit, soul, and body, and that "onenes" in flesh can be more than physical; it can have a spiritual and emotional essence that is pure.
It was 2 this morning when I finished your book. I woke my beloved and shared myself with him without reservation. I wept in his arms afterwards, and all was good. Thank-you for your book.....

Marriage between and man and woman is a picture of our relationship with Christ. It is a great mystery. The physical union between a man and a woman is so beautiful, so otherworldly, that God uses this intimacy to illustrate out relationship to Him.
The Great mystery includes spiritial closeness. emotions lopeness, the intensity of feelings, and the act of loving. Marriage in all its completeness is what God chose as an example of Christ and the Church. It wasnt something figured out by Adam and Eve and passed down through the ages to us.
"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled"(Hebrews 13:4).
Brendas great satisfaction did not come because her husband was so spiritual, sensitive, or endowed with some special sexual gift. This couple is experiencing what God intends for all couples. In husband and wife relationships, God always speaks first to the wife, telling her to submit , and then to the husband, to LOVE,, Brendas relationship with her husband started with her attitude of honor and thanksgiving toward him. You can see where it took her.
"There be 3 things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not, The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid."(Prov. 30:18-19).

"The kingdom that turned the world upside down.." contd'
Chapter 2...The Right-side up Kingdom.....,
As we shall see shortly, thekingdom that turned the world upside down is a unique kingdom. It's a kingdom of upside-down values.
In 1978, Donald Kraybill wrote a book entitled, The upside down kingdom, in which he explored some of these upside down values of the kingdom of God. But to fullly understand this upside down kingdom, we must first look at a kingdom that was right-side up.
The Scriptures introduce us to this right-side up kingdom in the Book of Exodus, where God speaks to the Israelites:"Now therefore, if you will obey My voice and keep My convenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people, for all the earth is Mine, and you shalll be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation."(Ex. 19:5,6)
This was Gods offer to the israelites: that they could be His special kingdom of priests. And the Israelites accepted His offer. They entered into a covenant with Him at Sinai. Like most covenants, this covenant was 2 sided. IF the Israelites obeyed Gods voice, then they would be to Him a "Kingdom of prieses and a holy nation>" Like any other kingdom, the nation Israel was to have a ruler and laws. However, their King, Lawgiver and Judge was to be God Himself(Isa. 33:22). The laws of the kingdom of Israel were the Masaic Law, given directly by God.
Despite these special features, the kingdom of Israel was still an eartthly kingdom. In most aspects, it was similar to the kingdoms of the world. It had a physical, geographic territory. Its people were a distinct ethnic nationality. They defended their kingdom with earthly soldiers, armed with swords, spears, and bows. Like all other earthly kingdoms, the Israelites expanded their territory through the use of the sword. In the eyes of the surrounding nations, the most distinctive thing about the Israelites was that their Law forbade the use of idols.
In fact, even Gods promised blessings to the Israelites were earthly, material blessings: "If you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, ...blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increases of your herds..the Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses. ...And the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground...The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its seasosn.>>>You shall lend to many nations, but shall not borrow(Deut. 28:1-12)
But it was not only the blessings that would be matyerial. If the Israelites broke their covenant, their punishments would likwise be earthly, physical: The Lord will change the rain of your land to powder and dust; from the heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed. The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies...You shall carry much seed out to the field but gather little in, for the locust shall consume it. You shall plant vineyards and tend them, but you shall neither drink of the wine or gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them"(Deut. 28:24,25,38,39).
In short, the ancient kingdom of Israel was a right-side up kingdom. Its pattern was even understandable to the other nations of the world. In fact, in many aspects, ancient Israel was modeled after the same pattern on which their nations had been built. The primary difference was that the other nations imagined it was their gods who had established them as a people. They believed it was their gods who prospered them materially when they worshipped these gods. And they believed it was their gods who punished them with droughts and famines when their gods were displeased with them. In many ways, the world view of the Gentile nations was quite similar to the world view of the Israelites. The primary difference was in matters of religion and morality, not in matters of state.
But the ancient kingdom of Israel, which was predominantly earthly, was not intended as an end in itself. It was meant to be a tutor leading the Israelites to something far grater----a kingdom that would truly not be of this world.

"the kingdon that turned the world upside down.." contd'......
PLEASE remember, one must read this whole story from the beginning to the end, .....PLEASE read the previous posts....
One might think that the next day the Crusaders were filled with remorse for massacring closr to 100,000 people, many of whom were little children. But not at all, for they were certain that their Lord Jesus christ hda given them their victory and was smiling down at them as their happy King. After all, the Pope himself had put out the call for all good religions to go and free the Holy Land from the Crusaders. He had assured all others the complete forgiveness of sins for any who went on the march.....
One eye witness states...."Now that the city was taken, it was well worth all our previous labors and hardships to see the devotion of the pilgrims at the Holy Sepulcher. How they rejoiced and exulted and sang a new song to the Lord! For their hearts offered prayers of praise to God, victorious and triumphant, which cannot be told in words. A new day! A new joy! New and perpetual galdness! The consummation of our labor and devotion drew forth new words and new songs from everyone. This day, I say will be famous in all future ages, for it turned our labors and sorrows into joy and exultation. This day, I say, marks the justification of all Christianity, the humiliation of paganism and the reneweel of our faith."This is the day that the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it," for on this day the Lord revealed Himself to His people and blessed them."
But did Jesus view this massacre as something joyous? Had the Crusaders truly advanced the kingdom of God? Or had they done great harm to it?
After all,. 1100 years before, Jesus had planted a kingdom of Love. His subjects were to be known for their love of each other. Not only that, they were to love their enemies as well. Their own King had described Himself as gentle and lowly in heart. The first subjects of this special kingdom had turned their world upside down----not with the sword, but with words of truth and acts of love. So what were people who claimed to be subjects of this kingdom of love and gentleness doing in a distant land, massacring the inhabitants of Jerusalem?
Because my eternal destiny and yours are intricately bound up in this story of the kingdom that turned the world upside down.
Its along story. But its one that needs to be told.
Until next weeek...the rest of the story....
Love toa ll who read...

EXCEPTION!!!!!! Intimacy perversions...
Intimacy the way God intented is the ONLY way to have what God ordained as normal.....intimacy between a Man and aWoman....Any other way is not the way God intended......
Pornography has increased this abomination. It is a filthy practice and medically dangerous. God, the master creator, made a "natural use" of the woman for intimacy. Any man who practices intimacy other than the way God has intended, is automatically suspect for other deviant activity.
"For this cause god gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise the man, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust of one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their thinking, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do the things which are not convenient" Romans 1:26-28
If you know of any men that" intimately" handles any child call somone!. Dont keep it a secret, that is how sooo many, end up in the state of a crazy person.
"It were bettter for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he be cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." Luke 17:2
Ladies, the Scripture is clear....lets not ignore it....

Continued...the kingdon that turned the world upside down"....
This is Continued from last week....
However, the offenders(enemy)s hsrled their own fiery missiles back to the towers, in an attempt to set them on fire. the offenders hammered the towers all day long with catapulted rocks. The missiles and arrows rained back and forth throughout the day. The crusaders fought bravely, but they were unable to secure a foothold. Some of their siege towers had been battered into ruins. One of them had been burned to the ground. Both sides quit fighting when night fell.
On the morning of Friday, July 15, the Crusaders renewed their ataack. This was the day that the bishop had prophesied they would take the city. But, that didnt look likely. They were all exhausted from the sleepless nights and the previous days fighting. By noon the Crusaders were greatly discouraged. They were weary, and they seemed to be making no progress. They were hopelessly outnumbered, and the walls of Jerusalem held tight.
They finally halted their operations and held council. About half of them were ready to call off the futile siege and hang the bishop who made the false prophecies. However, while they were still talking, a knight on the Mount Of Olives bagan to wave his shield to the others signaling them to advance. At his signal, the men began to take heart, and they renewed their attack in earnest. The battering rams went back to work, and some of the Crusaders began climbing the walls with scaling ladders and ropes.
The city offenders(enemy) had stacked a virtual mountain of hay and cotton bales inside the city walls as an additional defense. But some of the archers under the command of Godfrey of Bouillan succeeded in setting those bales on fire with flaming arrows. when the wind changed, huge clouds of smoke blinded and choked the offenders(enemy). The shower of fire and smoke forced them from the walls.
Seizing the moment, Godfrey quickly released the long drawbridge of his tower, and his men fearlessly streamed over the walls. In mere minutes, the Crusaders secured this section of the wall, which allowed their fellow soldiers to scale the walls with their ladders. some of the invaders reached one of the city gates and were able to open it. Waves of Crusaders swept through the opened gates.
Although they still were heavily outnumbered, the offenders(enemy) reeled back in disbelief and confusion. Only hours before, it had appeared that the Crusaders had been defeated. But now they were swarming into the city!!! Stunned, the offenders(enemy) fled from the Crusaders in disarray! Suddenly, the whole city was engulfed in mass panic, trying to escape from the Crusaders. Womem scramed and children cried as the Crusaders did away with every person they met.
The Crusaders saw themselves as the medieval equivalant of Jehu and his army, who did away with the Baal worshippers of their day.

Continuation of Hormones 101......
PLEASE don't go off the deep end, this is for the woman who has a husband, and not to make those who don't,.... feel less worthy of Gods love. As with all, "eat the meat and spit out the bones"...
Hormones respond to stimuli. You remember the story of Ruth. She gave her baby to old Naomi to nurse. It is a fact that an old woman who has not had a baby in twenty or more years can produce milk in her breasts and be able to nurse a baby. It just takes the physical stimulation of the baby attempting to nurse to provoke her glands into producing milk. Even a woman who has never been pregnant can nurse a baby if a baby stimulates her brests by nursing. It might take a few days, or even a few weeks, but if she sticks with the stimulus, it will work.
I will repeat a known medical fact: Hormones respond to stimuli. A woman whose heart and mind are focused on pleasing her man has hormones ready to be awakwned to answer her husbands desires. Before those hormones kick in and get active, a good woman should respond with great enjoyment toward her husband simply because she finds joy in HIS pleasure.
Dont talk about menopause; I know all about menopause, and it is a excuse. It IS uncomfortable. Do you think your body is special and has special needs? Do you know who created you, and do you know he is the same God who expects you to freely give intimacy to your husband? Please stop excusing yourself (of course, if there are physical paroblems, that is an excuse!) Try and determine in your head to find a way to stop excusing yourself ,and find a way to provide the pleasure your husband wants only from you. Your creator knows your heart. When you truly love and reverence your husband, the very thought of him loving the likes of you should thrill your soul and make you long to give him pleasure. If your heart is right with God, you will focus on his needs and lay aside your own selfish, bahaviour. The hormones are there, ready to be unleashed. Go to your husband with the intention of having a good time, with him. A sober woman plans ahead.
More Next week......

Before those hormones kick in and get active, a good woman should respond with great enjoyment toward her husband simply because she finds joy in HIS pleasure.
Dont talk about menopause; I know all about menopause, and it is a excuse. It IS uncomfortable. Do you think your body is special and has special needs? Do you know who created you, and do you know he is the same God who expects you to freely give intimacy to your husband? Please stop excusing yourself (of course, if there are physical paroblems, that is an excuse!) Try and determine in your head to find a way to stop excusing yourself ,and find a way to provide the pleasure your husband wants only from you. Your creator knows your heart. When you truly love and reverence your husband, the very thought of him loving the likes of you should thrill your soul and make you long to give him pleasure. If your heart is right with God, you will focus on his needs and lay aside your own selfish, bahaviour. The hormones are there, ready to be unleashed. Go to your husband with the intention of having a good time, with him. A sober woman plans ahead.

Continuation on "The Kingdom that turned the world upside down"....
One needs to read the post from last week, on this new book, and one will understand what this post is about...
So the wicked leader and his soldiers lost little sleep over the Crusders. they knew they had plenty of water, and abundance of food, better arms, and the seemningly impregnable city walls to protect them. And they had 60,000 armed soldiers to defend those walls! Whats more, a relief source of Egyptian Soldiers was on its way to life the siege. And against all of this, what did the Crusaders have? About 1200 knights was all---supported by poorly equipped, ragged band of 11,000 soldiers, sailors, and workmen. Altogether, the Crusaders had less than 13,000 men against 60,000 armed enemies. Plus, the Crusaders were fighting in an unknown land and wre unaccustomed to the dersert heat, so different from their homeland of France. Yes, they were something to laugh at.
But the laughter stopped 5 days later when, to the surprise of the enemy, the Crusaders wheeled several HUGE wooden siege towers towards the walls of Jerusalem. the Crusaders had been constructing these monstrous structures in secret from the wood they had salvaged. Each tower was equipped with virtually everything a medieval army needed: a catapult, battering ram, drawbridge, and lofty turret from which the Crusaders could rain arrows down on the citys defenders. Whats more, inside each seige tower was a small army of Frankish Crusaders, eager to pour out the city once the walls had been breached.
Seeing the dreaded towers, the enemy defences began building up their defences on those parts of the wall opposite the towers. However, on the night before the Crusaders attacked, they silently dismantled some of the towers and moved them nearly a mile away to parts of Jerusalems walls that were less fortified. It was an unbelieveable undertaking under any conditions. but in their weakened condition, it was an almost superhuman accomplishment. When the morning light gently bathed the Jerusalem landscape on the morning of Thursday, July 14, thee nemy defenders were stunned in disbelief. they couldn't believe that some of the towers had been moved during the night.

Hormones 101
We ladies all have basically the same hormones. Over the last 50 plus years, my hormones have fluctuated some, but I have still been fully a female during all that time. Amazing, isnt it? Through adolescence, marriage, pregnancies, births, periods, menopause you name it, our hormones were always there, maintaining us as a female. For the most part, all ladies have the same intimate drive.
Do you love your husband the way he needs loving, the way you were created to love him? If you dont score high points here, you are providing an opening for your husband to be tempted by other women. It is a mans duty to walk in truth and have high integrity, but a woman, who trusts in a mans ability to endure all things, while providing circumstances that test him to the max, is a fool. It is your duty to fulfill his intimate needs. God knew that the pleasurable memories "planted" lovingly by you would serve to keep you sweetly and tenderly in his thoughts and his dreams(SOOOO TRUE!!!). His faithful responsibility to you, and yours to him are both equally important, and we wives must give an account before God for our faithfulness in these areas. I call it"ministering" to my husband and he says I am a MIGHTY fine minister(giggle).
For a woman, intimate expression starts in her mind and heart. Love is giving up your center, your self interest. It is choosing anothers needs above your own. A woman chooses to be interested or not interested in her husbands needs. So, when a womans first commitment is to her own needs and feelings, she is going to view intimacy strictly as carnal....for then she does have a total hedonistic outlook.---her self gratification. But if a woman views intimacy as a ministry to her husband, then it is a selfless act of benevolence. She need not wait until she is stimulated to desire eroticism, she need only seek to fulfill her husbands needs. I have a tip for you.....when you make your husbands needs central , you will get turned on to the experience and enjoy it yourself. That is the way God meant it to be. The principle is universal---we minister to others because we want to bless them. It is completely incidental that the by-product of selflessly blessing others should result in our being blessed also, Eve was created to be Adams helper. It is not in seeking personal fulfillment that she is fulfilled, rather, it is in doing her duty to bless him, that a blessing is returned upn her.

NEW BOOK>>>The kingdom that turned the world upside down"....
I pray you can find this book a touch to your life as well as your soul....
Part 1
The Kingdom with upside down values.
Holy War?
It was Firday, July 8, 1099. the hot desert sun bore down on a ragged procession of robed clergy, carrying large crosses and relics of saints, who were marching around outer walls of Jerusalem. The clergy were followed by 1200 emaciated barefoot Crusador knights and around 11,000 near starved, thirsty soldiers, sailors, and workmen. The other faction defenders of the city laughed scornfully at this procession, mocking them as they marched. The other faction even desecrated crosses in various ways and hung them on the city walls to further insult this ragtag band of half crazed Christians.
Despite insults and jeers, the Crusaders continued on their barefoot procession until they reached the Mount of Olives, where they stopped. There, one of the bishops exhorted them, saying, Now we are on the very spot from which the Lord made His ascension, and we can do nothing more to purify ourselves." So let each one of us forgive his brother whom he has injured, that the Lord may forgive us," He then reminded them of his prophecy that Jerusalem would be delivered to them the next Friday if they continued to humble and purify themselves.
If any of the other faction heard the Bishops speech, they were not particularly worried. Take the city of Jerusalem in 7 days? Not likely. After all, before the Crusaders had even reached the vicinity of Jerusalem, the other faction ruling Jerusalem, had plugged or poisoned all wells outside the city limits. The crusaders had only one intermittant spring for their source of water and many of the Crusaders were seriously dehydrated. Furthermore, the leader of the other faction had moved all domesic animals inside the walls, giving the city an abundant supply of food. In contrast, the Crusaders were emaciated from hunger. Jerusalem could withstand a long siege, In fact, to conserve their food supply and protect themselves against treachery, the leader of the other faction had expelled all Christians from the city. Most of the Jews had left.
Stay with me, it gets even better....
Until next week,

NEW BOOK .....
We are going to start a new book to follow, It is called"The kingdom that turned the world upside down"....I have been reading it and WOW!!! I pray it touches your heart/soul as it has mine....
We will do both books today.... First the old one...
"Created to be his helpmeet"....
A matter of physics....
God made man to need intimacy. He must be relieved of his built-up sexual desire, even if it means spilling his seed in his sleep. 1 Corinthians 11:9 states, "Neither the man created for the woman; but, the woman created for the man." Men are all somehwat different in these needs. If they are sick, tired, stressed, scared, feel; rejected, or are even distracted by a big project, their sexual need may be diminished or even put on hold for a week or two. Healthy food makes a positive difference. vitamins, herbs, and exercise all play a vital part. Men have enhanced sexual desire after excitement or physicl exercise. If he is keyed up with success, he may have a stronger drive than usual. Even the weather effects a mans drives.
A man is negatively affected by a half-hearted response from his wife. The poor guy is never fully relieved and therefore never feels totally satisfied, making him think he is a sexual pervert or something, because he needs sex sooo often. It is like eating a tiny snack, a little bit here and there, yet never sitting down to eat a big juicy steak and salad.
A good wife knows that the greater her response, the more pleasureable her mans orgasm can be, and the more complete and longlasting will be his satisfaction.
I typed this in big enough letters for us wives that think we have a sexual pervert(always needing it), will take this to heart, WIFE.... is this you, not really fulfilling your husbands desires, just "putting out" for him to leave you alone?.....Lets go on....
When you respond half heartedly, it says to him,
You only have half of my heart." A half-hearted response from a wife can turn a sweet, teddy-bear of a man into a mean, old dog. It can make a man who is high-strung, morph into
an emotional jerk at work, home and even at church.
God created man with a regular need for a woman, and God commanded the mans wife to see to it that his need is met. Do yourself and everyone else around you a favor, devote at least 15 minutes every few days to please your man.
For a wife to defraud her man of this need that God has instilled in him should cause her to tremble in fear of the consequences, and remember, his entier ego is tied up with his sexual experience. To him it is the ultimate expression of his deepest love for you...(even though it might not matter to you)....the fullest measure of intimacy with you he can imagine. His entire body, soul, and spirit are caught up into earths "heavenlies" in this one act of sharing that love with you, the very measure of his person.
Till next week...

Blaspheming the written Word of God....
Dear Mr Pearl;
I have a question. Would it be sin to castrate myself? I am a husband and father, and I just cannot satisfy myself with my wife because she does not want to be intimate very often. The bible says, "whosever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed aadultery with her already in his heart." Would it not be better in my case to be castrated? I talked with my wife and she does not care. I am tired of sinning.
Mr Miller
This is a real letter from a real man named Mr. Miller. We were shocked! What do we tell this man who is willing to lose his manhood to avoid the lust caused by his indifferent wife? The gravity of his wifes sin is staggering. She has NO FEAR of God Almighty. She has blasphemed the word of God with her selfishness, thinking only of her own needs and not loving her husband. Never, Never, never be guilty of such a grave sin. This husband needs to know that God says. "The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband....Defraud ye not one the other...that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency"(1 Corinthians 7:4-5). God grants the marriage partner full access to his spouses body for sexual gratification. And remember, indifference is unwillingness.
Ladies, ARE YOU INDIFFERENT ? Lets fall on our faces before God and repent...we dont need this added to our other sins......Love your husbands....

His arms are my arms....
Dear ?.....
I have not felt close to God for a long time. Something was missing I found myself empty and lonely. I really had no idea what was wrong. I was aimless as a mother, and my discipline of my children was inconsitent and fraught with anger. My household management was wanting. In the past, my husband and I have had a good relationship, but even that was limp. I often cry myself to sleep, not knowing what was wrong.
My husband had been attempting to get intimate with me during "that time of the month" at which I usually pushed him away, He knew it was "that time", but assured me, he only wanted to give me pleasure...
I guess I must think in boxes; it is either all or nothing for me. And so, when I did not think it was all a good time, then it was nothing. Last night, after I resisted my husband yet again(argh!), my heart cried out to God, and I began to cry and cry and pray. Eventually the sobbing subsided, and I calmed down(my DH had sleepily held onto me and let me cry it out). It was then I felt like God said in that still small voice, "Those arms that hold you are my arms", I felt the warmth and strength of my husbands arms about me. I realized by pushing my husband away, I am pushing God away. NO WONDER I was sooo very lonely!!! I have been pushing the Lord away all this time and refusing to receive guidence and comfort here on earth ,from my Saviour...
How eagerly I went to myhusband and how eager I will always reamain! Life is an education. Boxes, boundaries, self imposed rules, they are all the same ink.
Today was like a new day! My children, my house, my chores, I saw everything with different eyes, THANKFUL eyes, a grateful heart and a soul full of joy and love....
"A wise woman guages her husbands needs. She seeks to fulfill his desire before even he is aware fo them. She never leaves him daydreaming outside of home. She supplies his desire."
Ladies, as the time draws close to Our Heavenly Saviour coming, the enemy of our souls will pour it on even more...WE NEEDS to fall on our faces before our Father and ask for guidence, Help, truth, and our hearts to be changed....not to stay in the same mold, as we always have...
Pray, as we never have before...for us to HEAR His still small voice, to determine, in our hearts to do the will of the Father..not our own wills....hard?, you think, yes, it is, but, the joys that will flood or souls when we do....

Psalm 145...........
Good morning to all those who read..
.PLEASE share my blog with others, they might need to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ too....
I have been reading the Pslms, One of which is the topic of todays blog notes.....
Psalm 145:8..
"The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy."
I looked in the commentaries and such, there was sooo much, I am going to need to sum it up..but, as you all know, I can get long winded...LOL! Gods Word is chalked soooo full of truth, How can I sum it up?
Look at this with your heart, not just what you read with your eyes.....
The Lord is Gracious. His Holy nature is ever disposed to show favor, to all living men, he is gracious, or full of goodness and generosity.. He treats creatures with kindness, his subjects with consideration, and his saints favor. His words and ways, his promises and his gifts, his plans and poses all manifest His grace, or free favor. Grace to the unworthy.
Full of compassion....
Whenever He sees Misery, his eye effects His Heart .In the most tender manner; hence he came to this world to save sinners, and in his pity redeemed them; and when on this earth showed his compassion, and particularly had compassion both on the ignorant, and them that were out of the way; pitying those that were as sheep without a shepherd. To the weak, the despondant, He is vry pitiful: He feels FOR them, He feels WITH them, and in a healthy manner. Of this pitifulness, he is sooo full, so he compassionates freeely, constantly, deeply, divinely, and effectually. In such fullness, this is NOT known among human men, this fullness is all fragrant sympathy for human misery. If the Lord be so full of this, there is NO room for forgetfullness or harshness.
In God there is NO passion, only compassion.
Or Merciful, in the most tender manner; hence he came into the world to save sinners, and in his pity redeemed them; and when on earth showed his compassion both to the bodies and souls of men, by healing the one and giving instructions to the other. Is very compassionate to his people under all their temptations, afflictions, trials, and exercises....
Slow to anger.....
Even those who refuse his grace yet share in long suffering, when men do not repent, but, on the contrary, go from bad to worse, averse to let his wrath flame forth against them. Greatly patient and anxious that the sinner may live, he "lets the lifted thunder drop", and still bears. "Love suffereth long and is kind", and God i slove.Though often provoked by all of our calamities and reproaches, and by our ill behaviour to him in various instances; yet we never read but once of his being angry, and that was through grief hardness of their hearts(MT 3:5); and likewise to his own disciples, who were often froward and perverse, and of bad spirits, very troublesome and afflictive to him, yet, He patiently bore with them.
And of great mercy....
This is his attude towards the guilty. when men at last repent, find pardon awaiting them. Great is their sin and greater yet is Gods mercy, they then have it though they deserve it not; for he is good to the greatly guilty. A merciful High Priest, typified by the mercy seat, where we may find Grace and Mercy at all times; through whom God is merciful to sinners,and to those mercy were to look for eternal life.
He is ready to give and to forgive, more ready then WE are to forgive, more ready than we are to ask, and then we are to repent.
I sure dont want to miss out on HIS character....how about you?
Love to all who read....

I looked in the commentaries and such, there was sooo much, I am going to need to sum it up..but, as you all know, I can get long winded...LOL! Gods Word is chalked soooo full of truth, How can I sum it up?
Look at this with your heart, not just what you read with your eyes.....
The Lord is Gracious. His Holy nature is ever disposed to show favor, to all living men, he is gracious, or full of goodness and generosity.. He treats creatures with kindness, his subjects with consideration, and his saints favor. His words and ways, his promises and his gifts, his plans and poses all manifest His grace, or free favor. Grace to the unworthy.
Full of compassion....
Whenever He sees Misery, his eye effects His Heart .In the most tender manner; hence he came to this world to save sinners, and in his pity redeemed them; and when on this earth showed his compassion, and particularly had compassion both on the ignorant, and them that were out of the way; pitying those that were as sheep without a shepherd. To the weak, the despondant, He is vry pitiful: He feels FOR them, He feels WITH them, and in a healthy manner. Of this pitifulness, he is sooo full, so he compassionates freeely, constantly, deeply, divinely, and effectually. In such fullness, this is NOT known among human men, this fullness is all fragrant sympathy for human misery. If the Lord be so full of this, there is NO room for forgetfullness or harshness.
In God there is NO passion, only compassion.
Or Merciful, in the most tender manner; hence he came into the world to save sinners, and in his pity redeemed them; and when on earth showed his compassion both to the bodies and souls of men, by healing the one and giving instructions to the other. Is very compassionate to his people under all their temptations, afflictions, trials, and exercises....
Slow to anger.....
Even those who refuse his grace yet share in long suffering, when men do not repent, but, on the contrary, go from bad to worse, averse to let his wrath flame forth against them. Greatly patient and anxious that the sinner may live, he "lets the lifted thunder drop", and still bears. "Love suffereth long and is kind", and God i slove.Though often provoked by all of our calamities and reproaches, and by our ill behaviour to him in various instances; yet we never read but once of his being angry, and that was through grief hardness of their hearts(MT 3:5); and likewise to his own disciples, who were often froward and perverse, and of bad spirits, very troublesome and afflictive to him, yet, He patiently bore with them.
And of great mercy....
This is his attude towards the guilty. when men at last repent, find pardon awaiting them. Great is their sin and greater yet is Gods mercy, they then have it though they deserve it not; for he is good to the greatly guilty. A merciful High Priest, typified by the mercy seat, where we may find Grace and Mercy at all times; through whom God is merciful to sinners,and to those mercy were to look for eternal life.
He is ready to give and to forgive, more ready then WE are to forgive, more ready than we are to ask, and then we are to repent.
I sure dont want to miss out on HIS character....how about you?
Love to all who read....

DH's experience while dead.....
Hello friends in christ...
It's been wayyyy tooooo long since I have been on this here computer....LOL!
Tis time to start posting again...I have been trying to lassso my DH and get him to tell me His story the way he wants me to. but, that seems asaolutely unprofitable, so, I will pass it along as He told me, on day 2 after his emergency quadruple bypasss surgery.
Our day started out like any other, said our goodbyees, hugged/kissed and he left. He usually calls me on his way to work, and tells me what he sees along the way, he did and we said goodbye again.
He got to work, and he called me to say he might be home early, ok. Then on the way to his next job(he checks densities for a business on dirt/concrete),He called and told me that he just wanted to tell me again, how much He loved me, and that He might be home early(this was at 2:00pm), and I went back to canning tomatoes. At 2:25pm, the police department called me and said that my DH had been in an accident and I was to get to the Hospital stat! I was still holding the phone, when a friend of ours, who is a Police officer, opened the door and (I was still holding the receiver in my hand, stunned),I asked him what I was suppose to do, He then said to put the receiver down, get my purse and coat and we needed to get to the Hospital. I was still in shock!!!~~~@@###@!!~?>"{{}_+)*&.....................
I did, when we got to the Hospital, 7 minutes away, I went straight in, and there lay my husband, GRAY skinned, and stunned, He did not know me at fist, His boss had beat me there and he told me, he knew him, sos, he went in with me, and told DH that I was his wife, then it came back......He looked as if he died and came back, GRAY skin, glassy eyes, and cold,cold, fingers......
He then asked what happened, at this point, I didnt even know what had happened, I went to ask, and was told by the Doctor, that he had died and had a heart attack, then kept going with CPR, then brought back with defilibration...He kept saying, "Where did they find me...Honey, where am I?" He didnt remember anything......
We were there for 2 hours getting him stabilized, then off the the bigger Hospital we went, I did not see him for 3 hours, our 2 sons were here and they took off with(not in) the Ambulance, so they were there with him, although he did 'nt even know them....
The next 2 days, were my/your worst nightmare, he underwent emergency 4 way bypass surgery, then had E-coli/Pheumonia/Staph infection in his left lung, and was VERY; VERY, sick...the Doctors kept telling me how sick He was, but, not tellimg me all this was going on....
On day, 3,.....He said one morning, Hon, I remember what happened....He told me about how he died and saw Jesus...He said, at the time he died(He only knows what happened before, because a friend was following him and saw him slump over in his pickup)...he was standing there, really in nowhere, and there was NO PAIN, NO GUUILT; NO anything, but COMPLETE PEACE,,,an overwhelming PEACE...a PEACE that he said he had never EXPERIENCED AND PROBABLY WILL again till he gets to Heaven....
He then thought "I dont want to go back", its to Peaceful"...
Every question that he thought was getting answered, soo fast, he just had to think it.....
Then He saw Jesus' arms/hands and His GLOWING robe come out of nowhere...DH says, He felt soo much Peace that he was wondering what was in his hands...
It looked like two loaves of French Bread, with the ends cut off, that Jesus was holding, and Jesus placed these on his body as He was laying there and said....................
"This is the gift of life, and with it there will be a requirement"...and was gone!
My DH then remembers, hearing from the paramedics>>"Can you hear us, Can you hear us"? He said yes, and on to the Hospital they went....
There was one thing that Jesus told my DH to <<<<<<>>>>>>>>
"I AM COMING SOON, AND TO GET TO KNOW HIM..."
Ladies...Do you really know Him??????
Is your heart changed into His image...PLEASE read the Scripture about what will and wont enter Heaven......this is not some made up story, We are just ordinary People with troubles and sin just like you, But, DO YOU REALLY KNOW HIM?????
Dh wants me to pass on the unending PEACE he felt, where He was, and the PEACE He felt through Jesus simple words......
Fall on your face today, and don't waste another minute staying where you are in your heart....time is coming to an end, and then what?
LOVE To all who read..
