But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28 Press on and obey the Lord doing all of HIS WILL! pray without ceasing much love Lisa My brother in law, Doy, said exactly what I was thinking, but I was unable to articulate as well as him. 2008-11-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/teelduo?l=5&entryID=594010 Happy sleeping everyone. I know I will enjoy my hour. I will have to remember to set Ben's clock on his pump as well. I think I shall do it when we wake up so I can actually get that extra hour of sleep. OOOOh I am so sneaky! Bahahahahahhaahhahahha Our meeting was extremely edifying this week. Being a christian is not like trick or treating. We do not put on Christ each time we walk into a church building. We should be WEARING CHRIST EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!! We allow HIM to change us because we fear HIM and love HIM. It is a willing ACTION on our part. AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. (Mark 12:20) Doesn't that require a FULL CHANGE from the old sinful man to the NEW MAN? pray without ceasing much love Lisa 2008-11-01 http://www.pleonast.com/user/teelduo?l=5&entryID=592912 Israel became known for a generation who knew not God. Is our generation next in line to be known the same way? May we diligently search the scriptures and meditate on God's word daily. May we teach our children daily! May we show our children our reverence towards the Lord daily!!! How can we expect our children to obey and revere God if we do not! Think about it. "Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

This urge usually comes when I want to put something away but discover I have no more room. As I look through my closets, I find clothing that no longer fits, old papers, and boxes of things long forgotten and unused. Our spiritual lives can become like my closets -- so full of unnecessary and even harmful attitudes and behaviors that there is no room for the good or the new. As followers of Christ, we are called to be conscious of all we carry around that doesn't allow room for God's love in our lives and our hearts. If we are self-absorbed, we have no room to care for others. If we are full of hate and prejudice, we have no room for compassion and love. Our faith calls us to continually let go of what takes up space in our hearts and minds and instead to allow ourselves to be filled with the love of God. Examine yourselves to see whether you are living in the faith. Test yourselves.

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19. A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million. It depends whose hands it's in. A baseball in my hands is worth about $6. A baseball in Roger Clemens' hands is worth $475 million. It depends on whose hands it's in. A tennis racket is useless in my hands. A tennis racket in Andre Agassi's hands is worth millions. It depends whose hands it's in. A rod in my hands will keep away an angry dog. A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea. It depends whose hands it's in. A slingshot in my hands is a kid's toy. A slingshot in David's hand is a mighty weapon. It depends whose hands it's in. Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches. Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in Jesus' hands will feed thousands. It depends whose hands it's in . Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse. Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will Produce salvation for the entire ... 2008-09-27 http://www.pleonast.com/user/teelduo?l=5&entryID=574389 Dontcha just love 'em! Pray without ceasing much love Lisa Sorry I don't have a clue what the name of the flower is. I looked and looked and looked. 2008-09-12 http://www.pleonast.com/user/teelduo?l=5&entryID=573738 I copied and pasted this post from Mark Russell's blog with his permission of course. This was the second time I was able to meet Ashley. He is a true soldier for Christ. We were honored to have a man visit with us this weekend in Valparaiso - Ashley Goosen. Ashley is a native South African preaching the gospel in the Port Elizabeth area. He is currently in the States visiting local churches that support him and also looking for more financial support. While this would burden most anyone, the loss he will endure is more than half of his support by the end of 2010. Please pray for Ashley and if you know of a local church or individual willing to help spread the gospel in South Africa, contact me. Also, please remember his wife Janet. She is scheduled to be without Ashley during his 11 week trip. It is also the first time they have been separated in 36 years of marriage. Mark pray without ceasing much love Lisa 2008-09-10
