1) Dismiss the things she says like she couldn't possibly know anything!
2) Offer her quick solutions to her problems instead of realizing that she wants empathy!
3) Listen with only 5% of your listening power!
4) Tell her to "calm down" when she is upset!

Just because no one has been fortunate enough
to realize what a gold mine you are,
doesn't mean you shine any less.
Just because no one has been smart enough
to figure out that you can't be topped,
doesn't stop you from being the best.
Just because no one has come along
to share your life,
doesn't mean that day isn't coming.
Just because no one has made
this race worthwhile,
doesn't give you permission to stop running.
Just because no one has realized
how much of a woman you are,
doesn't mean they can effect your femininity.
Just because no one has come
to take the loneliness away,
doesn't mean you have to settle for a lower quality.
Just because no one has shown up
who can love you on your level,
doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs.
Just because you deserve
the very best there is,
doesn't mean that life is always fair.
Just because God
is still preparing your king,
doesn't mean that you're not already a queen.
Just because your situation
doesn't seem to be progressing right now,
doesn't mean you need to change a thing.
Keep shining,
Keep running,
Keep hoping,
Keep praying,
Keep being exactly what you are already;
Complete!

The man that we all know and love (or love to hate), Dennis, Tropical Guy, will turn 50 years of age this Saturday! I was wondering if anyone who reads this would mind making a separate post to wish him a happy birthday. Wouldn't that be fun and exciting? Just a suggestion...
Anyway, to my awesome friend, confidant, cohort in crime and a wonder man of God,
Happy Birthday!

There was a school with a class of students that no teacher had been able to handle. Two or three teachers had been run off from this school in one year by the unruly students. A young man, just out of college, heard about the class and applied to the school. The principal asked the young man, "Do you know what you are asking for? No one else has been able to handle these students. You are just asking for a terrible beating."
After a few moments of silent prayer, the young man looked at the principal and said, "Sir, with your consent I accept the challenge. Just give me a trial basis."
The next morning the young man stood before the class. He said to the class, "Young people, I came here today to conduct school. But I realize I can't do it by myself. I must have your help. One big boy, they called Big Tom, in the back of the room whispered to his buddies, "I won't need any help. I can lick that little bird all by myself." The young teacher told the class that if they were to have school, there would have to be some rules to go by. But he also added that he would allow the students to make up the rules and that he would list them on the blackboard. This was certainly different, the students thought!
One young man suggested "NO STEALING." Another one shouted "BE ON TIME FOR CLASS." Pretty soon they had 10 rules listed on the board.
The teacher then asked the class what the punishment should be for breaking these rules. "Rules are no good unless they are enforced", he said. Someone in the class suggested that if the rules were broken, they should receive 10 licks with a rod across their back with their coat off. The teacher thought that this was pretty harsh, so he asked the class if they would stand by this punishment. The class agreed.
Everything went along pretty good for two or three days. Then Big Tom came in one day very upset. He declared that someone had stolen his lunch. After talking with the students, they came to the conclusion that little Timmy had stolen Big Tom's lunch. Someone had seen little Timmy with Big Tom's lunch! The teacher called little Timmy up to the front of the room. Little Timmy admitted he had taken Big Tom's lunch.
So the teacher asked him, "Do you know the punishment?
Little Timmy nodded that he did. "You must remove your coat, " the teacher instructed.
The little fellow had come with a great big coat on. Little Timmy said to the teacher, "I am guilty and I am willing to take my punishment, but please don't make me take off my coat. The teacher reminded little Timmy of the rules and punishments and again told him he must remove his coat and take his punishment like a man. The little fellow started to unbutton that old coat. As he did so, the teacher saw he did not have a shirt on under the coat. And even worse, he saw a frail and bony frame hidden beneath that coat. The teacher asked little Timmy why he had come to school without a shirt on. Little Timmy replied, "My daddy's dead and my mother is very poor. I don't have but one shirt, and my mother is washing it today. I wore my big brother's coat so that I could keep warm."
That young teacher stood and looked at the frail back with the spine protruding against the skin, and his ribs sticking out. He wondered how he could lay a rod on that little back and without even a shirt on. Still, he knew he must enforce the punishment or the children would not obey the rules. So he drew back to strike little Timmy. Just then Big Tom stood up and came down the aisle. He asked, "Is there anything that says that I can't take little Timmy's whipping for him?"
The teacher thought about it and agreed. With that Big Tom ripped his coat off and stooped and stood over little Timmy at the desk. Hesitatingly the teacher began to lay the rod on that big back. But for some strange reason after only five licks that old rod just broke in half. The young teacher buried his face in his hands and began to sob. He heard a commotion and looked up to find not even one dry eye in the room. Little Timmy had turned and grabbed Big Tom around the neck apologizing to him for stealing his lunch. Little Timmy begged Big Tom to forgive him. He told Big Tom that he would love him till the day he died for taking his whipping for him.
Aren't you glad that Jesus took our whipping for us, that He shed His precious blood on Calvary so that you and I can have eternal life in Glory with Him? We are unworthy of the price He paid for us, but aren't you glad He loved us that much?

Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at the age of 93 last week. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in...and then the trouble started.

I love to come to Big Church. It is not about meeting Mr. Right. It is about having interaction with other Christians. I left for a couple weeks a while ago because things were entering my spirit from here that shouldn't be. I made some adjustments in how I did things here so that I could protect myself and then came back. One of the things that was disturbing me from before was false and misleading teachings. I took steps to protect myself from the people who were promoting these things by banning them from commenting on my blogs and by deciding not to visit their blogs.
I find myself being very irritated by three members here because of the poison that they are spreading. There is no reason why I should have to put up with their junk on my blog. It is not the fact that they disagree with me that upsets me. It is that what they teach disagrees with the Word of God! And it is not just one mistake or off belief! It is that they consistently do not adhere to the Word of God!
I refuse to leave Big Church again. Therefore, I have decided to ban these three people permanently from commenting on my blog and I will not be visiting their blogs. Other people seem to be having problems with these same three people, too. Perhaps if the people who are having the problems with their teachings would ban them, too, they would either get the message and change their beliefs or leave the Blogs. Either one would be a welcome relief to me.

We Only Have This Second and No More Promised to Us

The other day my daughter and I saw a woman leading a horse past our house. It seemed strange to us for several reasons. They were walking in town, and no one has horses in our town. She was walking on the wrong side of the road, with traffic rather than against it. She was walking the horse rather than riding it, even though it had a saddle on it. It was after dark, and no one rides or walks horses after dark around here.
Anyway, a few minutes later, we hear ambulance sirens and then the Life Flight helicopter. The Life Flight had been called out, but left without landing. That always means that the person they came for has died and the helicopter has been recalled.
This woman that we had just seen a few minutes before had been struck and killed by a drunk driver just minutes after going past our house. How tragic! I could not sleep well all that night and have not slept well since.
The pieces of the last couple hours of this womans's life have been put together slowly. She bought the horse from a lady in the next town north of us and declined the seller's offer to trailer the horse to its new home in the next town south of us. For some reason she wanted to ride it home. Then for some other unknown reason, she ended up leading it rather than riding it.
The two things that I can't get out of my head concerning this are these:
1. Sometimes we make little decisions in our lives that we don't think really mean a whole lot. Those decisions can end up meaning the difference between life and death, however. That woman would never have dreamed that her simple decision to ride that horse home rather than have it trailered for her would have meant her life.
2. We are not guaranteed any time beyond the one second that we are living in right now. We could be dead one second from now. How scary is that? I have been with people when they died. It is an eirey thing to have a human being with me one second and just an empty shell the next.
Why am I writing this? I don't know. I just feel compelled to for some reason. I guess I just want to encourage anyone here at Big Church who is not sure where they will spend eternity to please make your decision now. Now is all the time we are sure we have. "Now is the day of salvation..."
How do you make sure? You decide whether you want Christ to be Lord of your life or not. He gave His life so that you could live forever with Him. Accept Him now as Lord of your life, ask Him to forgive you of all your sins and He will make you a new creature and grant you eternal life with Him!
Be blessed in Him!
