Psalms 23 (lots of pictures)

This is copied from an email being circulated. Since it's author is unknown, we cannot give credit. We just thought this would be an easier way to send it to the ones we love.


A lot of us read the Psalm but do we really understand the fullness of this. Read, Relate, Rise with it, Run with and Reign with it.

From me to you


23rd Psalm

The Lord is my Shepherd = That's Relationship!

I shall not want = That's Supply!




He maketh me to lie down in green pastures = That's Rest!




He leadeth me beside the still waters = That's Refreshment!



He restoreth my soul = That's Healing!



He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness = That's Guidance!


For His name sake = That's Purpose!



Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death = That's Testing!



I will fear no evil = That's Protection!



For Thou art with me = That's Faithfulness!


Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me = That's Discipline!


Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies = That's Hope



Thou annointest my head with oil = That's Consecration!



My cup runneth over = That's Abundance!


Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life = That's Blessing


And I will dwell in the house of the Lord = That's Security!



Forever = That's Eternity!


Face it, the Lord is crazy about you.


I thought this was pretty special, just like YOU!!!

What is most valuable,


is not what we have in our lives, but


WHO we have in our lives!


' Do not ask the Lord to Guide your Footsteps if you are not willing to move your Feet'
Peace.







Even though you can't see Him, GOD is there for you.
When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you!

Kitty's Best Day

Yesterday was a great day for Kitty. She believed that unless she was baptized, she could not have Jesus in her heart. Mommy explained that it was simply a ceremony. It was a way to show the world what she believed.

Kitty prayed, telling Jesus that she knew she was a sinner (explained to her as someone who did "bad" things, even if they were accidents), she asked to be forgiven and asked Jesus into her heart.

Kitty told Mommy and Jules that she felt different, felt better after she did this.

Jules had made a similar prayer a week or so before, when we were at family camp. She also said that she felt different.

Neither of these instances were instigated by Mommy, Daddy or anyone else. The girls came to these ideas and feelings on their own.

We are so proud of them!

GoD and DoG

This little video clip is lovely and a tribute to both. We pray that God (and your dog, should you have one) grants you grace today.

An Unlikely Way to be Heroic

A Chinese policewoman is being praised for her aid after the massive earthquake in China. Not only has she done her duty as a police officer, but she has also been breastfeeding infants in the disaster area as well. Five of the children she has fed were orphans. She also helped moms whose milk dried up or wasn't sufficient to feed their own kids.

This amazing lady is truly doing God's work!

You can see a video of this story from CNN.

EXPELLED!

"EXPELLED! No Intelligence Allowed" is a new, controversial documentary about Intelligent Design and the debate between Creationism and Evolution.

Being a Christian with a science degree and somewhat analytical thinking, I cannot accept that life, any life, on this planet is the result of an extremely rare, incredibly lucky accident. There is a designer behind all of this and it is God. His hand is in our creation and the creation of all life.

And while I do believe that he guides our lives, he has given us free will. That will extends to all of his creations. They, and we, make choices and we must live with those choices. Or die by them. We can adapt according to our free will, thus creating evolution in ourselves. All of God's creatures can do this. So, evolution exists within the realm of the creation of all life by our omnipotent God.

After seeing this trailer, I would like to see how well the issue is handled. We cannot create a future for the human race is we force our children, and ourselves, to be limited by what others view as "safe" ideas.

If nothing else, it will have far more truth to it that Al Gore's fakumentary about Global Warming. Maybe Ben will get a Nobel Peace Prize and an Academy Award for this, too!
