I love The Lord

I love The Lord. Today has been a day of test I have been having trouble getting online. The enemy is always trying to stop us from duing want The Lord has planned for us and today he has been attacking me all day. But he lost. Greater is He that is in me than is in the world, Praise God.

I am trying to understand what The Lord has planned for me in writing these blogs. I already teach a bible study in a nursing home but I feel that The Lord has something more for me to say.

Tomorrow I will have a lot more time and can write more of what I feel the Lord has laid on my heart to say.
For today may the Lord bless each of you.

My Mother

Yesterday I had to do one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. My mother fell and broke her hip on the March 14. Yesterday I had to leave her in a nursing home in Kansas and return to Indiana.

When you leave someone you love that much it is very emotional. My sister lives near and will be checking on her, but the pain of leaving was all most to much to take. As I drove home I started to ask The Lord why I had to leave. I am retired, I don't have to work.

He does talk to us, and He did as I drove along. I didn't get the answer I was looking for but He did talk to me. As for why he just said He will tell me when it is time, His time, not mine. I was suppose to go back to Indiana, yesterday.
I ask one thing from Him and that was to me able to see my mother again on this side of Heaven. To my surprise He told me I would and that she would have many years left. Of course since she is 85, I said a few years, but God said no, I said many years.

I must trust that He has a purpose for me here in Indiana, at least for now. I will obey even though it hurts to be this far away. I know that he will strengthen me in this. I know my saviour will never leave me. He has promised us that. Each day I will seek to walk in the full gospel of our Lord Jesus. Only through His great love can we continue through this life.

I know that my Mother will go to Heaven and join my Father who died in 1976 when she passes but as a human we still want them here with us. I praise the Lord that my mother and father have been saved and will both reach Heaven where we will have a wonderful Reunion.

Christ's suffering

This weekend we as Christian celebrate the death, burial, and rising of Our Lord and Saviour. We should try to understand what Jesus suffered during this time. He knew in advance the horror he was about to undergo.

For anyone who has a beard try to imagine having some one grab your beard and just pull it until it rips from your face. They pulled his beard from his face in large hunks, his beard did not just pull from his hair follicles but riped his skin from his face.

He was also whipped. The Romans would tie knots in rawhide and add different cutting devices in it and the person receiving the whipping being tied to a pole and beat. They would hit in a way that they could rip the device back to inflict the most pain and deepest cutting.

We all know of the crown of thorns, but just think of how much it hurts to get a small rose thorn in a finger. His Crown was made of thorns that were an inch in length and pushed on His head.

The Bible also says that the pummeled him. The Romans used their fist to beat Him.

All of this happened before he was taken to the cross. Think of how much it hurts to get a small steel splinter in your finger. Then try to imagine The pain of a nail. The nails were also driven into his hands. That meant that there was the added pain of a hammer being hit on the nail head.

The love that our Lord had for us is what kept him there to endure all of this. We all hear what he suffered but I don't think that we actually think of what he really suffered. I know that most of us would die long before we we got to the cross, but that is where He had to go, The Old Testament said that was where He had to die.


Our Lord and Saviour suffered for us, we could not do this. He was the only perfect one. He suffered for us, so that we do not have to suffer but have enternal life. I will praise Him forever for this. Praise The Lord

The Lord Bless You

Hello, May the Lord bless you. This is my first blog and I will just say a few words. I believe that the Lord left us with the responsibility to spread the Word of God. I pray that as I write this blog that the Lord will use it as a tool to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.
