Keratoconus update

2006-11-28T23:25:00.000-05:00

Well I had my latest eye exam and my Keratoconus is not as bad as the first visit, Praise God!!!! Thanks to everyone for your prayers. Any how, I am able to be fitted with soft contacts which are very comfortable. Several years ago I had trouble with soft lenses but now there have been great improvements to which I also praise God. I have to return to have the fitting checked and see if an adjustment needs to be made. I will also return in January to be tested on another machine. I don't believe there is a charge for these exams. I like this doctor. I have read about another corrective eye surgery that is showing success in treating Keratoconus. At this stage I am not considering this as an option. One patient will be having this surgery, so I have asked my doctor to keep me updated. Since they only give a 1% success rate at this time I will not consider it. This procedures is more popular in Europe. Until my eyes get to be so bad I have a hard time seeing, I will use the recommended toric lenses to correct my vision. For now, \o/ Praises

From Pain to Healing

2006-11-17T15:17:00.000-05:00

Yesterday, I went to my chiropractor. While he was making an adjustment I mentioned I was having pain in my shoulder. He asked the physical therapist to check out my shoulder. He pressed and rotated my shoulder, he squeezed and prodded, he knew what he was doing. All I could do was trust him. As he did what he had to do, I was in a lot of pain. He found some nodules and he continued to press, squeeze and rotate my shoulder. This happened every time he found another nodule and I would crimp in pain again. Sometimes there has to be pain before there can be healing. Today my shoulder feels like it has been run over. Healing does not happen overnight, it takes time

Bears' Vasher returns missed FG 108 yards

2006-11-12T23:30:00.000-05:00

What a play Bears' Vasher returns missed FG 108 yards NFL.com wire reports CHICAGO (Nov. 13, 2005) -- Chicago Bears defensive back Nathan Vasher returned a missed field goal an NFL-record 108 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the first half against the San Francisco 49ers. When Joe Nedney's 52-yard attempt went wide right in a strong wind, Vasher caught the ball over his shoulder, hesitated momentarily whether to come out of the end zone, sprinted to the 15 and then reversed his field with a spin, picking up a convoy of blockers. Getting blocks down the sideline from Lance Briggs and Chris Harris, Vasher weaved his way past the 49ers for a stunning touchdown that gave the Bears a 7-3 halftime lead. The previous longest return of a missed field goal was 107 yards by Baltimore's Chris McAlister against Denver on Sept. 30, 2002.

Murder Scene

2006-11-07T13:32:00.000-05:00

Yes, we have a cereal killer. I woke up this morning to find this murder scene. The package of cereal was hard to open so Krysten took it out of the box and proceeded to open the package. When the package finally gave way, the contents (Life) cereal spewed all over the counter and floor. This Life, as we know it, has ended.

Inveraray Castle

2006-11-06T18:45:00.000-05:00

This castle is part of Jackie's heritage! She is part of the Campbell Clan. I can't help but think of Princess Diaries and Genovea. Would that make me Sir Bruce?

Where is Inveraray Castle On Loch Fyne, between Glasgow and Oban

It is still a family home, and a shrine to the Campbell Clan

The parts which are open to the public are the main reception rooms and a suite of former bedrooms. One of the upstairs rooms is now the `clan' room containing a vast Campbell family tree In the towering entrance hall has the shields of different Campbell families on the ceiling

History of Inveraray Castle Built in the mid 18th century on the site of an earlier building, Inveraray Castle is a fine early example of Scottish Baronial style

It seems to have acquired a reputation for ghosts.

In 1644 the Duke of Argyll was driven from Inveraray by the Marquis of Montrose. the Duke's harpist was left behind, and discovered by Montrose, who ordered the man's execution. The ghost of the harpist still wanders the castle, wearing his Campbell tartan and playing his harp

On 10th July 1758 a Physician called William Hart was walking in the grounds with two other men. To their astonishment, they saw a battle taking place in the sky, between Highland soldiers and French soldiers. The Highlanders, they saw, had to retreat, leaving many dead behind. Two ladies also saw the battle in the sky. It was some weeks later that news arrived from America telling how a Highland regiment had lost 300 men on that day attacking a French held fort Also there is said to be a ghost that foretells the imminent demise of the Clan Campbell chief. It is said that a ghostly galleon, similar to the one on the Campbell coat of arms, sails up Loch Fynne and does not stop when it reaches land, instead continuing to sail on over the land

Four Seasons

2006-11-04T17:05:00.000-05:00

There was a man who had four sons. He
wanted his sons to learn not to judge
things too quickly. So he sent them each
on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a
pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the
second in the spring, the third in summer,
and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back,
he called them together to describe what
they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly,
bent, and twisted.
The second son said no it was covered
with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was
laden with blossoms that smelled so
sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the
most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them;
he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit,
full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that
they were all right, because each had
seen only one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree,
or a person, by only one season, and that
the essence of who they are and the
pleasure, joy, and love that come from that
life can only be measured at the end, when
all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss
the promise of your spring, the beauty of
your summer, fulfillment of your fall.

Moral:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the
joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches
and better times are sure to come some
time or later.

When we come to the edge of the light we
know, and are about to step off into the
darkness of the unknown, of this we can
be sure... either God will provide something
solid to stand on or we will be taught to fly.

I feel used

2006-11-03T09:40:00.000-05:00

The internet is a wonderful place to share thoughts and just plain surf the web. Yesterday, someone hacked and used our IP Address to say terrible things to some friends I love very much. I take no offense with anyone who thought this was coming from me or my family. My offense is toward the person who did this, and to that person all I have to say is I forgive you. I personally feel like my home was broken into our home and violated my family. This just goes to show you that you cannot be too safe on the internet. I have gone to great length to keep any private information like addresses and personal information off websites and blogs. It appears that I didn't go far enough. I will look into other ways that I can keep personal information safe from predators. This will not keep for having fun and posting on the blog. I did run a system diagnostic to ensure that I do not have any spyware, malware, or virus on my computer. I found none. If anyone has been hurt or offended by what was said please accept my apology. I feel bad when this sort of stuff happens. As my brother in Christ always says B4T. Let's move onward and upward!

IP Spoofing

2006-11-02T17:07:00.000-05:00

It appears that my IP address was hacked. This is called IP Spoofing. I do not know why somebody decided to hijack it but they did. As the result of this there may have been some things inappropriately said. For this I apologize. When we were all spammed and we had to set up our word verification. I do not know if there is anything that can be done. I am also running a diagnostic check up to ensure that my computer isn't infected. and I am changing my passwords. Here is an article about IP spoofing. IP spoofing, also known as IP address forgery or a host file hijack, is a hijacking technique in which a cracker masquerades as a trusted host to conceal his identity, spoof a Web site, hijack browsers, or gain access to a network. Here's how it works: The hijacker obtains the IP address of a legitimate host and alters packet headers so that the legitimate host appears to be the source.

When IP spoofing is used to hijack a browser, a visitor who types in the URL (Uniform Resource Locater) of a legitimate site is taken to a fraudulent Web page created by the hijacker. For example, if the hijacker spoofed the Library of Congress Web site, then any Internet user who typed in the URL www.loc.gov would see spoofed content created by the hijacker.

If a user interacts with dynamic content on a spoofed page, the highjacker can gain access to sensitive information or computer or network resources. He could steal or alter sensitive data, such as a credit card number or password, or install malware . The hijacker would also be able to take control of a compromised computer to use it as part of a zombie army in order to send out spam.

Web site administrators can minimize the danger that their IP addresses will be spoofed by implementing hierarchical or one-time passwords and data encryption/decryption techniques. Users and administrators can protect themselves and their networks by installating and implementating firewalls that block outgoing packets with source addresses that differ from the IP address of the user's computer or internal network.

Moving update

2006-11-02T07:01:00.000-05:00

My Project Manager was in a meeting and he passed this on to us:

Location of staff was brought up as a concern (again because of the large amounts of travel expenses (for both groups). It was asked...do we have staff where we need them? Again, our needs have changed and are compounded by the travel costs. No changes are expected at this time, but be aware that it is being reviewed at a higher level than I.

So for now, I guess it okay for us to stay where we are at.

Another Encounter

2006-10-27T00:10:00.000-05:00

I had an interesting encounter with a Pakistani Muslim. God has granted me the opportunity to share, with this Muslim, the Good News. We talked about 1-1/2 hours bouncing between Christianity and Islam. He was very kind and listened to me but he has a worldly perspective about Jesus, believing that he was only a man and not the Son of God. He said this was mans interpretation and not what is written in the Bible. I asked if he read the Bible and was surprised that he said about 10 times. That's more that most Christians, not that that we have to read through the Bible that often. I asked him to keep seeking God and reading the Bible. I was even more surprised when he wanted to exchange email addresses. I thank God that He placed this man in my life and also for the opportunity to share the Good News. God is working in this man's heart.

I played for the Tigers

2006-10-23T07:23:00.000-05:00

It's true I played for the Tigers. I played all positions in the outfield, 2B, SS, 1B, and 3B. When I played in the outfield, ie left field, if the ball was hit to right field I would run all the way to right field to back up my team mate. Yeah, I was fast. No a am not dreaming, I am talking about Little League. I was a big fan of the Detroit Tigers, never missed a game. Back then I had one of the first transistor radios and would walk around with the earphone in my ear. Everyone knew I was a big fan of the Tigers, so no one was surprised when I dawn around wearing my LL Tigers shirt. When I played for Pony league, I was hoping to, once again play for the Tigers. I was selected to play for the Dodgers. I played 2B and SS, occasionally I would pitch. I had dreams of playing for the Detroit Tigers, but that dream got shattered when we moved. I said, I could sign up for another team at our new home. No one played baseball in the UP. You ether played football, basketball or you played on the Babe Ruth league, softball. I had no interest in softball, in my opinion, that was for sissy's. Of course, I was in high school back then. Back then Al Kaline, Norm Cash, Mickey Lolich, Gates Brown, Willie Horton, Bill Freehan, Jim Price, Willie Horton, Jim Northrup, Dick McAuliffe and Denny McLain: they were my hero's. The radio reception was poor so I couldn't always listen to the Tiger games. I eventually lost all interest in baseball. I tried on several occasions to spark my interests back to baseball. I would watch the Bird pitch, and again with Cecil Fielder, but the spark was not to be. Not even in 1984 when Detroit won the World Series. Sparky was a great coach but I didn't like him because he would not pull out a bad pitcher until it was too late. I even went to a few games at Tiger stadium still no interest to follow the Tigers or even catch a game on the tube. But this year, there is a spark, not just a spark, an inferno. Jim Leyland not only got the Tigers out of their rut, he actually got me interested in the Tigers again. Go Tigers!!!!!

World Series Game 1

2006-10-21T22:45:00.000-05:00

What a terrible game. I don't dispute the Cardinals winning, but I would dare to say that wHen Rolen ran into Inge, he (Roland) was out of baseline and should have been called out. That's my opinion. What do yoou say?

Charles Elliot and Pat Dunn

In case you haven't heard of either of these new country western singers I wanted to pass along this information. These singers were just at Kapnick Orchard and my son Dean and I had the pleasure to listen to them. Did I mention that I know Charles and his wife Eleana they are from Lenawee county. I just met Pat yesterday. Check out their music. http://www.charleselliott.net/Music.html Sorry I don't see a link for Pat. Some say Pat looks and sounds like Alan Jackson. I'll allow you to decide. Pat opens for Charles. Pat and Charles above and Charles Elliot on the bottom.

Be prepared to use your training

2006-10-04T17:01:00.000-05:00

You never know when you'll need it, the training, but you should always be ready to use it. What am I talking about? Back in Fall 1976, I was sent for Basic Shipboard training. Included in this training was damage control, NBC Nuclear, Biological and Chemical warfare and firefighting. Part of the fire course meant you had to go through the smokehouse (not for smoking meats). After I had entered into the smokehouse I had to make my way through the maze going up and down stairs and several twist and turns. It was extremely dark.

When I finally got aboard ship, we had routine fire drills and I was made lead fireman (the one closest to the fire). When you are at sea you need to be prepared to fight any and all fires. Fortunately, no such fire came. I left the ship in Fall of 1977 and after my temporary assignment in Virgina, I was sent to Alaska. While living in the barracks we had regular fire drills. After working late one evening, I finally was able to crash. A few hours later, I faintly heard a fire alarm. I had attended all the previous fire drills so I thought I would sleep through this drill. As usual, someone would knock on the door to ensure everyone heard the fire alarm. I muttered a groggy yeah yeah I know and started to go back to sleep. Well it was not long afterwards when the olfactory senses kicked and I smelled smoke. This was no fire drill, it was the real deal. I quickly got dressed and as I went to exit the barracks, I head cries for help. Several others could not locate the exits and needed assistance to get out of the building. My room was located near the exit so I yelled at the others to follow my voice. One by one about 14 in all made it to the exit and left the building and made it to safety.

What has God been teaching you? Be prepared to use it someday.

“You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that leaves your arms too full to embrace the present” ~ Jan Glidewell

Forget the past.

Live in the present.

Look to the future.

Learn from your mistakes and move forward.

Just get on with your life.

Don’t worry about the past; it can’t hurt you.

These are words that may seem helpful when you are on the giving end of

them. What about the receiving end? Letting your past go is truly easier said

than done. Whether it’s something unfair or unkind or hurtful that has been

done to us, or something we have done to ourselves, we are all looking for

ways to get out from under the hurts of our past .

The Bible tells story after story of people who had enormous hurts in their

pasts. Joseph was a shepherd and his father’s favorite son. Life was going

along well for him until his brothers sold him into slavery. He faced repeated

sexual temptation from his master’s wife and when he refused her advances,

she lied about him and had him thrown into prison.

The Bible says Job was a man of integrity and the richest man in his land. But

Satan set his sights on Job thinking he only loved God because he had never

had to face trials. God allowed Job to be tested to show his faithfulness. In

one day Job lost his children, his servants and all of his livestock. Shortly after,

his health was taken from him too and his friends blamed him for his losses,

saying it must be punishment for some sin he would not confess.

As a young shepherd boy, David fought the giant Goliath and won. As an

adult, he ruled as king of Israel. But he was also human, allowing his selfish-ness and lust get the best him. He was caught up in scandal when

he committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged to have her husband murdered

in an attempt to cover it up.

None of them were perfect. None of them had bigger faith or shorter memories

or anything else to set them apart from you or me. They trusted God and His

faithfulness and through Him found ways to put their pasts behind them. Joseph

had every reason to be hopeless, yet he stayed positive and came out

ahead. While in prison, he was put in charge of many things because he didn’t

give up and remained faithful to God. Eventually he was made ruler of Egypt.

Job questioned and wrestled with God, yet in the end he praised God and was

blessed.

David’s troubles were his own doing. He tried to run away and cover up his mistakes

and his sins, but in the end, he confessed and restored his relationship

with God. Despite his past, David was considered a man after God’s own heart.

Life isn’t fair. It’s a cliché but it’s true. In this lifetime only God knows for certain

why some suffer abuse and others do not. Why some have plenty and others go

hungry. Why some people fall prey to addictions and others never do. Still everybody

has a past. No one gets through life without a few battle scars. Some

are small and we hardly notice them. Some are so huge we wonder if we will

ever recover.

God knows our past and our future. He offers forgiveness for our past, purpose

for the present and promise for the future.

It has been said that those who stare at the ness and lust get the best him. He was caught up in

scandal when he committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged to have her husband murdered

in an attempt to cover it up.

I took the Sabbath Challenage

2006-09-26T19:59:00.000-05:00

The Challenge:

$10,000 CASH is yours if you can find just one verse in the Bible, using either the Old or New Testament that says God changed the Seventh day Sabbath to the First day of the week for the Bible believing Christian.

Click here for more information

I took this challenge and went to the Greek Lexicon. I was doing research on the word Sabbath and I amazed myself by what I found. The New Testament does in fact teach that the Sabbath did get changed from the end of the week to the first of the week. Four verses: Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 14:1 and John 20:1. The link to the challenge has been disabled by me. The man I conversed with didn't want to accept the findings from the Greek Lexicon and kept insisting that I need to repent. When I would not bite he cut me off and asked me to not email him any further. For me the money was never the issue, only to correct an albeit error in translation. Here are my findings:
Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. (KJV) http://bible.cc/matthew/28-1.htm This verse is incorrectly translated, as indicated by the Greek Lexicon the word σαββατων or Sabbath is written in two positions the 3rd word and the 8th word. So first day of the week is not correctly translated. It should translate the first Sabbath Greek Lexicon οψε δε σαββατων τη επιφωσκουση εις μιαν σαββατων ηλθεν μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια θεωρησαι τον ταφον In the end +__ of the sabbath as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre σαββατων of Hebrew origin (shabbath); the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension, a se'nnight, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications sabbath (day), week. So in Matt 28:1, both times the word sabbatwn must be translated sabbaths, and then we can see exactly what it is God had in veiw when he placed this statement in the Bible. Literally this verse should read, "At the end of the sabbaths, as it began to dawn toward the first sabbath... Mark 16:2 http://bible.cc/mark/16-2.htm Greek Lexicon και λιαν πρωι της μιας σαββατων ερχονται επι το μνημειον ανατειλαντος του ηλιου And very early in the morning the first day of the week they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun Again this should be translated: And very early in the morning the first Sabbath... Luke 24:1 http://bible.cc/luke/24-1.htm

It should translate the first Sabbath Greek Lexicon οψε δε σαββατων τη επιφωσκουση εις μιαν σαββατων ηλθεν μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια θεωρησαι τον ταφον In the end +__ of the sabbath as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre σαββατων of Hebrew origin (shabbath); the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension, a se'nnight, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications sabbath (day), week. So in Matt 28:1, both times the word sabbatwn must be translated sabbaths, and then we can see exactly what it is God had in veiw when he placed this statement in the Bible. Literally this verse should read, "At the end of the sabbaths, as it began to dawn toward the first sabbath...

While at the Fall Festival the Lord open the door for me to share the Gospel to a man named Lynn or Len. I was a little rusty but thankfully Linn was a good listener. He has a lot of miss information about how to get into Heaven. Among them is that Peter will let him in through the gate. He mentioned that as long as people work good deeds he believes people will get to Heaven. I asked him, if we sinned against God how is doing good for people, Rectify our sinning against God? He just repeated about doing good deeds and that all paths lead to Heaven. He would not take a NewSong flyer, but he did mention he would pop his head in at church one day. It's in the hands of the Holy Spirit, and I know that the Holy Spirit will continue to work in him.

2006-08-27T06:12:00.000-05:00

This story is awesome!

Ed had mustered up the courage decided to use his lunch hour to share with a shoe store clerk that Jesus loved him. After a short discussion that 18 year old decided to give his life to Christ. That boy's name was D L Moody. D L Moody had counseled J. Wilbur Chapman, who became a minister, evangelist. Together they had a strong influence a pro baseball player named Billy Sunday, whom God called to be an evangelist. It is estimated that during Billy Sunday's ministry that 3 hundred thousand men and women came to faith. In 1924, while on a campaign in Charlotte, NC; the formation of Charlotte Businessman's club grew from his ministry. In 1934, CBMC invited evangelist Mordecai Ham to a campaign in Charlotte. At the meeting was a reluctant 18 year old who gave his life to Christ. His name is Billy Graham.

Listen to their stories.

I walked into a restaurant and sat down in a booth. After placing my order I was sitting waiting for my food and listening to the music. I thought I was listening to MW Smith but I didn't know the song. After another Christian song they announced the name of the radio station, KLOVE. The station played a song by "Mercy Me" and as the waitress brought me my order she was singing along. All it took was for me to tell her that she must like "Mercy Me" and a big smile came on her face. She began to tell me that it was her fathers favorite song. I clued in on the word "was" and inquired about it. Tears filled her eyes as she told me that her father was killed in a car accident a few months ago. I uttered "I'm sorry", to which she replied "don't be", he's with the Lord and he's gonna say to me na na na na na na I made it here first. We both laughed. She went on to tell me more. I would have kept listening but I had to leave.

I believe it's important to listen to other peoples storied, after all, it is their testimony.

INCREASING IN SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY

2006-08-01T16:23:00.000-05:00

INCREASING IN SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY by Chip Brogden ---- First, as a disciple of Jesus Christ you have authority over sin. Let's illustrate that by turning to John Chapter 8, beginning in verse 31: "Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, 'If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' They answered Him, 'We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, "You will be made free?"' Jesus answered them, 'Most assuredly I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." So first of all, number one, as a disciple of Jesus Christ, you have authority over sin. Thanks be to God Who has delivered us from sin through Jesus Christ. We have authority over the penalty of sin, and we have authority over the power of sin. That means, according to Paul in Romans, that sin does not have to have dominion over us, as opposed to before when we had no choice, we had no say so, but we were bound by sin. And now, through the death of Jesus Christ, we've been delivered from the power of sin, and we've been delivered from the penalty of sin. So now we have authority over sin. So praise God for that! That is the first thing you have authority over as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Whoever the Son makes free, they are free indeed! And you might say, "Well, I don't feel like it, it doesn't look like it, blah blah blah." One thing you need to learn about authority is: authority is yours whether you see it, whether you feel it, whether you act upon it or not. You still have authority over sin. We'll talk about how to increase that authority, and that's the difference. The increase of authority over sin (and over anything else that we'll discuss) is increased as you act upon that authority. We'll discuss that as we go forward, but right now, just accept it on faith based on what Jesus is saying. He or she, whoever the Son sets free, is free indeed. So you have authority over sin. You're no longer a slave to sin, instead, Paul says you are a slave to righteousness. Now the first step is recognizing that so you can start living according to who you really are, not the way you've been living up to the point where you gave your life to the Lord. So authority over sin - that's what you have already, number one. Number two, you have, as a disciple of Jesus Christ, authority over Satan. You do have authority over the devil. I've already read this, but to reinforce the point once more - and there are many scriptures that we could provide to support this, but one of the clearest examples is Colossians Chapter 1 - so if you'll turn to Colossians Chapter 1, I'd like to begin with verse 12: "Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us..." (Now that is past tense. He has - not going to deliver us.) "...He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love." The Greek word "power" there again, being "exousia", more properly translated "authority". Once you have received an inheritance of the saints in the light, and you've been transferred out of darkness and into the Kingdom of His dear Son, you've been delivered from the authority and the power of darkness. Your eyes have been opened, and Satan no longer has authority in your life. And so, you've got authority over the devil, you have authority over Satan, and that is not something you have to work towards in an effort to try and get that. Instead, that authority is yours in the Name of Jesus. Now, listen! You don't have to claim it; it just is. Whether you claim it or not, whether you believe it or not, you have authority over sin, you have authority over Satan. Now obviously some people have more than others - only because some people recognize that authority and they live accordingly. If you have authority over the devil, but you keep giving him permission to operate in your life, then guess what? He's going to beat you up. If you have authority over sin, but you continue to willfully sin, and you don't deal with those areas, and you don't allow yourself to be crucified and dealt with in those areas, then you're going to continue to sin - even though you have authority over sin, you have authority over Satan; nevertheless, that authority has to be recognized, and then it has to be exercised. Now regardless of what you believe, or what you think, or what you feel, or what you see, this is what the Scripture says. So that's the second thing. You have authority over sin, you have authority over Satan - as a believer, as a saint, as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Thirdly, you have authority over the world. And that is found in I John Chapter 5, if you would turn there please. Beginning in verse 4, it says this: "For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?" Praise the Lord. Now, it doesn't say you have to be mature. It doesn't say you have to be spiritually adult. It just says you have to be born of God and believe that Jesus is the Son of God; and once you are born-again, God at that moment gives you authority over the world. Different people could translate that to mean different things. I take it as: authority over the world system, authority over the ways of the world. It means the world no longer has to have that pull and that draw upon you, because your citizenship now is in heaven, and you can be an ambassador for Christ and a king and priest in His Kingdom and represent that to the world around you. That's how you overcome the world. John says don't love the world, or the things of the world, because the world and the things therein are passing away, but he who does the will of God will abide forever. And this is he who overcomes the world: those who are born again. Those who have believed on the Name of Jesus. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. So praise God. Now, in the world you'll have tribulation, so authority over the world doesn't mean that my circumstances will always be just the way I want them; I'll never have any problems, and I'll never have any challenges. What it means is: in the midst of all of that coming against me in the world, I can still be victorious in Christ. And so, you already have, as a disciple of Jesus Christ, authority over sin, number one; authority over Satan, number two; and number three: authority over the world. Now, since all disciples have this authority, why doesn't every disciple overcome? You might be asking yourself that question. You might say, "That sounds good, I believe what the Bible says, but I certainly don't see that happening in my life, and I don't see that as being the standard for Christian's lives as a general way of life. I don't see this happening. So if all disciples have this authority, why don't more disciples overcome?" Well, I think the clue you're going to find out is right back where we left off in John 8. You remember Jesus says, "If… if… if." See, that's a condition. “If you continue, if you continue, if you continue in My Word.” What happens if you don't continue? Well, “if you don't continue in My Word, then you're not really My disciples, and therefore the Truth cannot make you free.” Truth makes us free in a progressive sense. In other words, we have authority over sin, but many times we're still bound by sin. We have authority over Satan, but a lot of times we allow Satan to intimidate us, or to exercise power over us, as a result of our own ignorance, our own laziness. See, God says “My people perish for a lack of knowledge.” It is not because Satan is all-powerful. It's not because he's even very powerful. It's not because he has authority, in fact the exact opposite is the case when you're born again, you become a child of God, you have authority over Satan! So how is it that the devil is able to accomplish so much? It's because “My people perish for a lack of knowledge.” It's a lack of understanding, and actually a lack of wisdom, because we don't continue in the Word, we don't give the Word time enough to transform us and conform us. We don't continue, we don't abide in His Word. And so Jesus says (in effect) “if you don't abide in My Word then you're not my disciples indeed, you will not know the truth, and the truth will not make you free.” It's all contingent on abiding in My Word. "Abide in Me, I will abide in you, you will produce much fruit, and your fruit will remain," it says in John 15. But, “if you do not abide in Me, if you do not continue in Me, if you do not continue and abide in My Word and in My teachings, then you will not experience fruitfulness, and you will not experience the liberty and the freedom that is there, that is available to you - but you've got to continue in My Word.” Don't be condemned, but just let me speak the truth to you. If you're lacking in an area, it's not because sin is so powerful. It's not because the devil is so powerful. It's not because the world is so powerful. It's only because you have failed to appreciate and recognize and walk in the authority that God has given you. That's it! You just haven't grown up to the point that you can walk in the assurance and the knowledge and the authority and the maturity that God has already provided for you. So don't blame God, don't blame sin, don't blame Satan, don't blame the world - and don't blame yourself. Just go ahead and say, "OK. I recognize now that I have failed to grow up in these areas." And ask the Lord to help you to grow, and as you do, your awareness of the truth will begin to transform you.

God is opening doors

2006-07-28T22:31:00.000-05:00

Wow is God ever opening doors. Yesterday while working I had an interesting conversation with a Yemenese Muslim. We did not get around to speaking about Jesus but we did talk alot about politics. There is a lot of misinformation out there, one being that the President is making milllions off the oil. I corrected his error stating that the President is not allowed to conduct while He is President. I remember when Jimmy Carter had to give up his peanut farm while he was President. Anyway the man from Yemen said he had never heard of the law forbiding it. I wanted to talk about salvation and other bible topics but he had to leave.

2006-07-26T13:04:00.000-05:00

It's been nice having some peace and quiet but sometimes silence is loud. As many of you know we took our children to our in-laws for the summer. As we were at the border the customs agent asked us where we were going? Jackie piped up we are going to Toronto! To which the agent asked and what will you be doing in Toronto? Dropping off our children. I watched as the agents eyes grew bigger and Jackie had to explain...at her family's home. Relieved the agent asked is this some kind of vacation for the kids? Again Jackie said yes and then added for me too!!! The customs agent had a few laughs and then sent us on our way. Anyways the quiet has been nice, but I miss our children. I guess I am not quite ready to be empty nesters.

Before you ask the question the answer is, no. I am not affiliated with the Kodiak Project. The only interest I have is that I have a desire to work with JAARS www.jaars.com LOOMING FUEL CRISIS THREATENS AVIATION FUTURE OF LOCAL MISSION ORGANIZATION ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 3, 2005— Bush airplanes are a necessity for missionaries to reach people in remote parts of the world and have become key instruments for organizations like locally-headquartered Wycliffe Bible Translators to continue its mission. These aircraft operate on a highly refined fuel known as avgas – fuel that is very expensive and could become nonexistent in many less developed countries. Currently, missionaries serving in the most remote areas of the world rely on outdated aircraft, flying over thick jungle brush or landing on gravel air strips less than half of a mile long. But as these aircraft continue to age, and avgas supplies deplete, using these planes may soon no longer be a viable option. Many mission organizations believe the answer to this challenge is the KODIAK, the first backcountry aircraft designed for the 21st century by Quest Aircraft. JAARS, which supplies Wycliffe missionaries with the aircraft to reach their destinations, is one of Quest Aircraft’s Quest Mission Team members, and, along with other mission and humanitarian organizations provided input into the KODIAK’s design. The KODIAK, often called “the ideal missionary aircraft,” is flying into the Orlando International Airport, Galaxy Aviation, 4250 Express Street on Tuesday, Nov. 8, in conjunction with the National Business Aviation Association’s 2005 annual Convention. The KODIAK operates with superior short take-off and landing capabilities, which allows it to take off in twice the length of a football field and climb at 1700 feet per minute when fully loaded. The KODIAK also has a higher propeller ground clearance so it can land in gravel without kicking up stones, preventing damage to the propeller and the aircraft. But, most importantly, the KODIAK operates using highly reliable jet engine technology, ensuring missionaries can reach the people they serve, and they can also return home safely. (MORE) The development of the KODIAK grew from the need for a new-generation aircraft to serve both humanitarian mission and backcountry commercial aviation needs. Funding this new initiative required the innovative and unusual means of raising funds in cooperation with future customers who buy airplanes for relief and mission needs. Commercial success in the charter, utility, and other markets will subsidize airplanes destined for serving mission organizations like Wycliffe. Ninety percent of the airplanes produced will be sold commercially, thus allowing participating mission organizations to purchase them at a substantially reduced cost. Quest has generated significant customer interest since the first flight of the KODIAK in October 2004 with orders exceeding expectations and is on track to receive FAA certification in spring 2006. With the potential to change, and even save, millions of lives around the world, the KODIAK is in high demand. For more information, please visit www.kodiakproject.com.

War in Lebanon hits home.

2006-07-19T22:02:00.000-05:00

While I was working somewhere in Southgate. I was introduced by the owner to his family. They were Lebanese. I listened as they told me their concerns about their family and friends still in Lebanon. The mother had tears streaming down her checks. I did what I could to console them but I knew it wouldn't be enough. War leaves plenty of victims not involved in the dispute. Silently, I said a prayer for this family. I thought, could I have done more? Seeing the fright on their faces, a father, mother, son and daughter, still haunts me. These people will not sleep tonight, nor perhaps tomorrow night. Perhaps their tears will put them to sleep. I will continue to pray for them. Join me if God places them on your hearts like He has mine.

Enjoy The Coffee

2006-07-18T20:44:00.000-05:00

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to
visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into
complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the
professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and
an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain
looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves
to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you
to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems
and stress. Be assured that the cup itself, adds no quality to the coffee
in most cases, just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we
drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you
consciously went for the best cups... and then began eyeing each other's
cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position
in society are the cups They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and
the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life
we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy
the coffee God has provided us."

God brews the coffee, not the cups..........enjoy your coffee...........

Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody

2006-07-13T17:35:00.000-05:00

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

That's why I am a nobody

Answer to would you switch or not

2006-07-11T20:26:00.000-05:00

Here is the answer given by some more smarter than I. Many mathematicians, disagree with her, Marilyn Vos Savant. Read about it here: http://www.marilynvossavant.com/articles/gameshow.html Yes; you should switch. The first door has a 1/3 chance of winning, but the second door has a 2/3 chance. Here's a good way to visualize what happened. Suppose there are a million doors, and you pick door #1. Then the host, who knows what's behind the doors and will always avoid the one with the prize, opens them all except door #777,777. You'd switch to that door pretty fast, wouldn't you?

	DOOR 1	DOOR 2	DOOR 3	RESULT
GAME 1	AUTO	GOAT	GOAT	Switch and you lose.
GAME 2	GOAT	AUTO	GOAT	Switch and you win.
GAME 3	GOAT	GOAT	AUTO	Switch and you win.

GAME 4	AUTO	GOAT	GOAT	Stay and you win.
GAME 5	GOAT	AUTO	GOAT	Stay and you lose.
GAME 6	GOAT	GOAT	AUTO	Stay and you lose.

When you switch, you win 2/3 of the time and lose 1/3, but when you don't switch, you only win 1/3 of the time and lose 2/3. You can try it yourself and see.

Alternatively, you can actually play the game with another person acting as the host with three playing cards—two jokers for the goat and an ace for the prize. However, doing this a few hundred times to get statistically valid results can get a little tedious, so perhaps you can assign it as extra credit—or for punishment! (That'll get their goats!)

2006-07-11T20:22:00.000-05:00

Would you switch? and why or why not

2006-07-08T22:41:00.000-05:00

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors. Behind one door is a car, behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say #1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say #3, which has a goat. He says to you, "Do you want to pick door #2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice of doors?

House

2006-07-06T22:38:00.000-05:00

Well after a rush to get the house ready for an appointment the appointment was canceled. Apparently they were in the neighborhood and did a drive by, and shortly Jackie received a call that they couple didn't want to live this far away from town. (?) we live 3 miles from town. Anyways they wanted to do a land contract and neither Jackie nor I know anything about it so we didn't feel comfortable with the idea. It will be easier the next time. Thanks for all your prayers.

THE REMNANT PRINCIPLE

2006-07-06T05:14:00.000-05:00

"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank" (Daniel 1:8a).

Is Daniel merely jealous for the Law of Moses here, or is there a greater motivation? The point here is really not the meat or the drink, but the purposing in Daniel's heart not to defile himself. That there is one who would even make such a purpose is astounding, considering the circumstances. The easiest thing to do is to just go along with things, accept them as they are, and not make any trouble. But thank God for that decision! Daniel purposed in his heart - a flame was kindled, and the longer he thought about it, the hotter the fire burned.

While the others were eating and drinking, Daniel motioned to his three friends, and whispered, "Eat mine if you will have it - but I will not sin against the Lord in this thing!" And the three brothers, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, agreed that they would not eat the meat or drink the wine either. Hallelujah! This is what the Lord is after - a small company of two or three, gathered together under a covenant that they will stand for the Testimony of the Lord, for something Heavenly, regardless of the cost!

Presbyterians Consider Triune 'Mother, Child, and Womb'

Presbyterians Consider Triune 'Mother, Child, and Womb'

Presbyterians will be asked to ratify a new report on Trinitarian theology that describes the cornerstone doctrine in various metaphorical terms, including a controversial description of the triune God.

Tuesday, Mar. 21, 2006 Posted: 11:11:42AM EST

Presbyterians this June will be asked to ratify a new report on Trinitarian theology that describes the cornerstone doctrine in various metaphorical terms, including a controversial description of the triune God as "Mother, Child and Womb."

"[The report] aims to assist the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in reclaiming the doctrine of Trinity in theology, worship and life," the introduction to the 40-page report, "God's Love Overflowing," states.

The report, which has been underway since 2000, includes theological and liturgical sessions that are meant for use in study sessions on the doctrine.

"The doctrine is widely neglected or poorly understood in many of our congregations," the statement reads. "The members of our work group are convinced that the doctrine of trinity is crucial to our faith, worship, and service."

Describing the Trinity has often proved contentious in mainline denominations, with some adhering to the classical Biblical description of the Triune Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and others adopting more liberal terms such as the Triune "Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier."

From the onset, the report acknowledges such differences over "new ways of speaking of the Trinity," but goes on to say that no name, no metaphor, no set of words or phrases - however thoughtful, poetic or profound - will ever be able to say everything that could be said about the mystery of God's love made known to us above all in Jesus Christ and sealed in our hearts by the Holy Spirit."

In what is likely the report's most controversial segment, the panel explores the "female imagery of the Triune God" - a suggestion that is sure to draw fire from conservative Christians.

"The overflowing love of God finds expression in the biblical depiction of God as compassionate mother (Isa 49:15; 66:13), beloved child (Mt 3:17), and life-giving womb (Isa 46:3)," the report states. "The divine wisdom (hochmah in Hebrew, Sophia in Greek) is portrayed in the Bible as a woman who preaches in the streets, gives instruction, advocates justice, builds houses, and acts as a gracious hostess (Prov 1,8,9)."

In other descriptions the report uses other biblical terms to name the Triune God.

"We may use words that speaks of the inner relations of the Godhead - Lover, Beloved, Love, and those that speak of the loving activity of the Three among us - Creator, Savior, Sanctifier, Rock, Redeemer, Friend, King of Glory, Prince of Peace, Spirit of Love."

The report includes six recommendations for the denomination to approve during its 217th General Assembly in June, including a call for the document to be published and be made available for further study.>

Rough evening Tuesday glad it's over

2006-06-21T22:52:00.000-05:00

I had a PowerPoint Presentation due today for work and last night I had trouble saving the presentation 6X no matter what I did I could not save it. Turned out the template I selected was corrupt. I was up until 2am. So I am very tired. I still had to put some final touches on it and I was not as prepared as I would like to have been but what can one do. So I heard Praise you in this Storm on my way in to work (first song) and the last song I heard before I turned off my truck. My how God gives us comfort when we need it.

Praise you in this Storm

I was sure by now God You would have reached down And wiped our tears away Stepped in and saved the day But once again, I say "Amen" and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain "I'm with you" And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God Who gives and takes away

Chorus: I'll praise You in this storm And I will lift my hands For You are who You are No matter where I am Every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand You never left my side And though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry You raised me up again My strength is almost gone How can I carry on If I can't find You

As the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain "I'm with you" And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God Who gives and takes away

Chorus

I lift my eyes unto the hills Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord The Maker of Heaven and Earth

Repeat

Chorus

Legal Versus Right

Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” —Acts 5:29

In his powerful book Unspeakable, Os Guinness wrestles with the problem of evil in the world. In one section, he focuses on the Nuremberg trials that followed World War II. The Nazis stood charged with crimes against humanity, and their mantra of defense was simple: “I was merely following orders.” The verdict, however, was that the soldiers had a moral obligation to defy orders that, though legal, were clearly wrong.

In a much different context, Peter and the disciples were arrested for presenting the message of the risen Christ and brought before the religious rulers in Jerusalem. Rather than allowing themselves to be shaped by the mood of the mob, the disciples declared their intention to continue preaching Christ.

The orders of the religious establishment may have been legal, but they were wrong. When the disciples chose to obey God rather than the godless religious leaders, they raised a standard of conviction that rose above the opinions of the rulers of this world.

The trials we face may test our commitment. But we will find opportunities to exalt the King if we trust Him for the strength to go beyond the words of the crowd-pleasers and do right as He defines it in His Word. —Bill Crowder

What is keratoconus?

2006-06-08T21:09:00.000-05:00

Keratoconus is a disorder of the anterior surface of the eye (the cornea). In simple terms keratoconus causes the bulging of the cornea from its normal round shape to a cone shape. This interferes with a person's vision and can severely affect the way they see the world making simple tasks like reading, watching TV or driving very difficult. The distortion caused by keratoconus has been compared to viewing a street sign through your car windscreen during a driving rainstorm. The progression of keratoconus is unpredictable. While keratoconus interferes with the clarity of a person's sight it rarely causes blindness. In its early stages, keratoconus causes slight blurring and distortion of vision and increased sensitivity to glare and light.

What causes Keratoconus?

The characteristics of keratoconus have been known for at least 200 years, but the specific causes are still undetermined. Several theories have been proposed. One scientific theory is that keratoconus is genetic in origin. About 7% of patients have other family members with the disease. Another view holds that keratoconus represents a degenerative condition. A third theory suggest that keratoconus is secondary to some disease process. There is even a hypothesis that keratoconus may involve the endocrine system. While there are many theories, research into keratoconus continues.

How is Keratoconus treated?

As keratoconus advances, rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses are the first choice to correct vision adequately. Most of the time, this is a permanent remedy. Because of the progression of the disease, it is important that lenses are fitted with great care and are reassessed at least annually by eye care professionals. The Rose K^(TM) lens is internationally recognized as the leading lens for keratoconus. Its complex geometry takes into account the conical shape in the cornea for all stages of the condition. As a result the entire lens fits better over the eye. For most patients this means better comfort and optimum visual acuity.

Great Community of Praise message

2006-06-07T22:11:00.000-05:00

Last Friday Tom had a great message for the Community of Praise service. Just this past week Jackie and I placed our home up for sale. We are trying to sell it ourselves. Someone has relocated our for sale signs, uprooted one of them and tossed into the farmers field. I plucked it out of the field and placed it right back where I had originally posted the sign. Now it has been run over several times and one of the fasteners has become broke. Well I was discouraged and wanting to call in the ordinance officer to enforce the 33 foot from the center of the road law (from the center of the road out 33 feet on each side belongs to the county road commission). Tom gave a message that I thought was directed at me. For the life of me I can't remember exactly what the message was but it went something like this: treat others like you would like to be treated. Don't take matters into your (my) own hands. I check the signs regularly and and I do any repairs as needed. God has a buyer out there for this place. Thanks Tom for a much needed message of conviction. I needed it!

"Choosing Sides"

2006-05-27T08:42:00.000-05:00

At a White House dinner, a churchman offered a benediction and closed with the pious affirmation: "The Lord is on our side."

When President Lincoln did not respond to this sentiment, someone asked him, "Don't you believe, Mr. President, that the Lord is always on the side of the right?"

"I am not concerned about that," was Lincoln's answer, "for we know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. My concern is that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side."

What ingredients are mothers made of?

2. Her casserole recipes. But we hate them.
3. Just her children.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?
1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter -- then she would know my sister did it and not me.

FINALLY, THE BLONDE JOKE TO END ALL BLONDE JOKES...

A blonde called her boyfriend and said, "Please come over here and
help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how
to get it started."

Her boyfriend asked, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"

The blonde said, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger."

Her boyfriend decided to go over and help with the puzzle.

She let him in and showed him where she had the puzzle spread
all over the table.

He studied the pieces for a moment, then looked at the box,
then turned to her and said, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're
not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling
a tiger."

He took her hand and said, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have
a nice cup of hot chocolate and then............", he sighed,......................

Let's put all these frosted flakes back in the box."
