STOP AND GO Our traffic policeman Is kind as can be; He holds the cars back for a pathway for me. But till it is my turn I wait, for I know. The stoplight is my light as much as the go. By Dorothy Thompson a paper from 1945 Is this not true of our Lord as well !!!!!!! Times in our life he says to stop and sometimes he says to go, sometimes he says to wait. .In relationships, in church, in friendship, and business. Over the weekend I had an opportunity to hear and see a man who pastor's the church in redwood California. If any of you are unfamiliar with this area.... it is the place were Jim Jones took 912 people to there deaths, they all drank coo laid laced with arsenic. Family's lost mothers ,husband, sons, daughters, entire families. The pain and suffering this pastor, has gone through to reach neighbors, and friends, and loved ones to the lord, after this horrible event in his community..... to say the least.... TRUST..... is a huge factor in there lives. Understandable so...... after such an event.... how would you teach others to love and be loved by GOD. I... like you... never even thought about this little community..... what would happen to these people after such an event took place in there lives, the mis-interpretat ion of God's word and the manipulation of teaching that took place, makes the smoke come out my ears , but we are all vulnerable only through the grace of GOD have we been spared... it's been 20 years since this happened, they should be over it we think ..... How mean a thought, for some suffering goes so deep it takes many many years and , soft spoken, kind words and the spirit of GOD to help mend the hurt. What a ministry this man has.... On a daily bases this pastor has new stories to listen to as, people unfold there hurts, there horror. All of us are capable of mis-interpretation of God's word , manipulation, and putting our thougth's in as GOD thoughts. Remember all things do not look as they appear, we as human's can manipulate thoughts actions and GOD'S word in one way or another. Are we truly listening to the spirit of GOD or is it just our thoughts, our wishes, our desires. WHEN GOD SAYS TO STOP DO WE? When GOD SAY'S WAIT DO WE? WHEN GOD SAY'S GO DO WE |

The adversary is clever, we must be careful. Sometimes it is easier to follow a person than the "book", let us not get into that trap, God gave us a mind and the ability to reason and think things through. thanks
