Friday September 18, 2009 thought for the day

A PRETTY SHOT

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-The conversion of a soul is the miracle of a moment but the making of a saint is the task of a lifetime.

2-Discouraged people don't need critics, they need encouragement-

3-Pessimistic reasoning continually focuses on the potential downside of the future and prompts worry-

4-Easter is "the rest " of the Christian story-

5-Leave what was and walk into what will be and feel the healing-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Why is an airport called a "terminal"?

I'VE LEARNED-Today's bigotry is tomorrows hate crime-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Is the new testament Holy Spirit the same as the old testament Spirit of God?

2-Was the Spirit of God, in the old testament, for everyone or just those God chose to be leaders, prophets, priests, etc.?

3-Before Jesus came, was it possible for old testament people to live sinless lives?

4-Why does the Christian faith seem to attract suffering?

5-Is becoming a Christian "asking for trouble"?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALMS 73:15-28

15 God, if I had decided to talk like this, I would have let your people down.

16 I tried to understand all this, but it was too hard for me to see

17 until I went to the Temple of God. Then I understood what will happen to them.

18 You have put them in danger; you cause them to be destroyed.

19 They are destroyed in a moment; they are swept away by terrors.

20 It will be like walking from a dream. Lord, when you rises up, they will disappear.

21 When my heart was sad and I was angry,

22 I was senseless and stupid..I acted like an animal toward you.

23 But I am always with you; you have held my hand.

24 You guide me with your advice, and later you will receive me in honor.

25 I have no one in heaven but you; I want nothing on earth besides you.

26 My body and my mind may become weak, but God is my strength. He is mine forever.

27 Those who are far from God will die; you destroy those who are unfaithful.

28 But I am close to God, and that is good. The Lord God is my protection. I will tell all that you have done.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
