Fear not for I am with you

I thought I'd share this David Jerimiah devotional with you. It's a cute story with a built in truth about our children's innocence and our adult fears.


Thank Goodness for Protection

Fear not, for I am with you.
Isaiah 43:5

Last summer, a Canadian family celebrated their son's third birthday with a camping trip to a popular park in British Columbia. One day during their stay, the boy's parents thought he was playing with other children. When they realized he was missing, a frantic search ensued. According to the subsequent report of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the boy had ridden his toy truck into a swiftly-flowing river. The river swept the boy, still on the truck, downstream for nearly eight miles. It was a two-hour trip; and the boy, when he was discovered, seemed to have enjoyed himself. He rode his truck down the river like a raft. "He was very excited," said an officer.

Isaiah 43:2 says, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you." The Lord watches over us, even when we don't fully understand the perilous nature of our condition. Thank goodness for His daily protection!

Though come what may from day to day, my Heavenly Father watches over me.

Avoid every kind of evil 1- Thess.5:22 (My radical view of movies)

I'm really exposing myself on this topic. I don't expect anyone to agree with me , but I am being honest and sincere. This is how I feel about movies. 1-Real social interaction- When you have family and friends over isn't it nice to visit,listen and talk to each other or play games and interact, making memories along the way as opposed to watching a screen for hours and saying "Shh, Shh" every time someone tries to converse with you? 2- Movies are my right eye a) sex- Over the years of raising young children many times people have said "It's a great movie, but don't let your kids watch it"....My kids? my kids? What about me? Is it really a good thing for me to watch Hollywood's beautiful and sexy stars enticing the audience the way only Hollywood knows how to do it? (They do it very well, I might add) Matthew 5:28-29 (New International Version) But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adu...

Blog Me

There's been many times I've had things to say be it spiritual,social, political,or just micellaneous rambling and I needed a place to vent these thoughts. Comments would be great . I'm laid off from work and have much more time to waste on the computer. This first blog deals with nothing.I'm simply trying to see how it works.

"Opportunity" by Berton Bradley

After raising three boys I find I'm always telling , not just them , but there friends too,how great it "used to be ". My parents always did the same as they spoke about the "good old days" . Now, I knew my parents "good old days" consisted of the great depression and a world war that saw 50.000.000 people die . Imagine that. Let that sink in awhile. These were the "good old days". Maybe the " good old days" were good ,because, the good Lord gives us "days "at all. And the sweet,sweet people around us are among the greatest gifts of all His creation. My parents pictures of "the good old days" always consisted of lots of people, in a very small room. Anyway,I get caught up in thinking about the past . This is not good for the next generation ,who have there whole lives stretched out before them. When I was young and in despair my mother shared this book of poems with me .It was at a time, like today ,wh...
