Ten Things My GrandChildren Will Never Know

Hello family,

It's been a while since my last post. School has begun again and the requirements of a new semester are great. I will soon balance my new schedule and return to my weekly blogging. I was surfing the net and ran across a article on 10 things our kids won't know. I thought it was a informative like had thing on he lst like mailing a letter, writting monthly bills out with checks, long distant bills, not have the internet at their finger tips, buying a set of encyclopedias or a typing class. So I thought it would be fun to put my own twist on it and creat my own list.

Ten things my grandchildren will never experience or know...

1. A piece a candy for a penny
2. A drive-in movie & hook that speaker on the window
3. A rotary house phone connected to the wall by a cord
4. A record or a 8 track tape player
5. A book of food stamps
6. A outhouse
7. A black & white television with just 4, 5, 9, & 13 channels only
8. A can of potted meat, peanut butter or powered milk
9. Bunk-beds with a third bed
10. Five hamburgers for a $1

Be Encouraged

I WANT TO SPEAK THIS INTO YOUR SPIRIT & OVER YOUR LIFE! The problems you are facing in this season of your life is growing your faith, fortifying your faith and producing patience! You won't ever be the same again. God is developing you into the champion that He purposed, planned & positioned you to be from the foundation of the world.

James 1:2-4 says it this way, "Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way." I believe in YOU! It us my desire to use this moment to make a difference n the world by making a difference in you...if you have been blessed by these post leave a comment & tell your friends & let's lift up Jesus & each other.

A few random thoughts that have been running through my mind that I may write on later but really don’t have the time to develop now:

In Matthew 16: 13-15 Jesus asked the probing question: “ Who do people say that the Son of Man is?' And they said, 'Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.' He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:13-15)

Is Jesus exposing them with this first question? What are THEY saying about me? Where they that drawn to what others where saying rather than what Jesus was saying?

Why could those that had been with Jesus the most, seen the most, and experienced the most not answer the question, “Who do you say I am?

How come they watched him minister, saw his motives and heard his message and still didn’t know him?

Is this a picture of the how lonely it is to be in ministry? How people can be so close be never really know you?
