Sundaya March 29, 2009 thought for the day

THE CROSS
Here are my thoughts for today
1-Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward-
2-Everything in life is temporary--so if things are going good enjoy it, because it won't last forever, and if things are going badly, don't worry because it won't last forever, either-
3-Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice--it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved-
4-A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step-
5-Righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ-

Strange thought-Absolute power, absolute corruption, absolutely-

I've learned-Faith is not so much a belief about God as it is a total personal trust in God-

5 things I want to know
1-Is it possible that Saul could have heard Jesus teach or preach?
2-What effect would Steven's death have had on Saul?
3-How could Ananias have been so willing to go find Saul?
4-What is the significance of laying on of hands in receiving the Holy Spirit?
5-How could Saul have been so instantaneously changed from what he was trained and educated to be?

Scripture for today Proverbs 23:17-25
17 Don't envy sinners, but always respect the Lord.
18 Then you will have hope for the future and your wishes will come true.
19 Listen, my child and be wise. Keep your mind on what is right.
20 Don't drink too much wine or eat too much food.
21 Those who drink and eat too much become poor. They sleep too much and end up wearing rags.
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life and do not forget your mother when she is old.
23 Learn the truth and never reject it. Get wisdom, self control and understanding.
24 The father of a good child is very happy; parents who have wise children are glad because of them.
25 Make your father and mother happy; give your mother a reason to be glad.

I wish you a day filled with love, laughter, forgiveness and thanksgiving-jasper
