Psalms 30:11,12 (AMP)
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness. To the end that my tongue and my heart and everything glorious within me may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.comBlogger941125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-2626552738281264572016-09-06T08:55:00.001-04:002016-09-06T08:55:16.850-04:00I am back!I think I have my blog back, finally!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NsdrHqnu3nIdnEBi4Jq2jN3lUQECvViTEf9fgld-va2Ibog3hk1OouU5zz0FhICkC71hi5brpA0UO3CsHw8tt-c8auAHiVrDGKEGdRNPhZCSHBGw0rkZhPcG9k1qQ2Etw529/s1600/21115_823284164420341_6918539668124535967_n.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NsdrHqnu3nIdnEBi4Jq2jN3lUQECvViTEf9fgld-va2Ibog3hk1OouU5zz0FhICkC71hi5brpA0UO3CsHw8tt-c8auAHiVrDGKEGdRNPhZCSHBGw0rkZhPcG9k1qQ2Etw529/s320/21115_823284164420341_6918539668124535967_n.png" width="240" /></a>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-29194622302730100932012-04-17T10:39:00.001-04:002012-04-17T10:39:04.952-04:00Divine Sovereignty: The Fuel of Death-Defying Missions : Together for the Gospel<a href="http://t4g.org/media/2012/04/divine-sovereignty-the-fuel-of-death-defying-missions-2/#.T42AWUICWj2.blogger">Divine Sovereignty: The Fuel of Death-Defying Missions : Together for the Gospel</a>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-13094000157379241142012-02-14T11:12:00.004-05:002012-02-14T11:45:02.244-05:00Love Through The Shatterings<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsagVCfU-HxKeWMpe-i2_N2x9a-jckHYrqbUcRg6cILw1W2fLumox2V8s434TTpLXtJ06TAPqiuFqCwa3RQW1GP9jn7lkToQU4CfJnHRnbPN-nq8_V6BDuNDBTcsqVG9zhIJi/s1600/hands-holding-comfort.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsagVCfU-HxKeWMpe-i2_N2x9a-jckHYrqbUcRg6cILw1W2fLumox2V8s434TTpLXtJ06TAPqiuFqCwa3RQW1GP9jn7lkToQU4CfJnHRnbPN-nq8_V6BDuNDBTcsqVG9zhIJi/s320/hands-holding-comfort.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709033193155525858" border="0" /></a><br />It was almost two years ago that I lost my Mom to the dreaded illness of cancer. She suffered long in silence and by the time we realized she was not well she was far past any medical help that we were aware of.<br />She lived a strong and family oriented life and gave up everything she could otherwise aspire in this life for her own children, home and generations to come. She was a very brilliant woman. Well read, well informed, and very mechanically and logically minded. She learned to cook like a Chef in those early years and she honed that skill over years of Sunday dinners and Holiday gatherings.<br />My Mom was married for over 55 years to her only husband, my Dad who truly was not the easiest man to live that long with. They had a less than perfect marriage but she stayed. He stayed. They argued and had issues that even the best of us would have given up and left that relationship in the dust. Their children often wondered why they were still together. Their unhappiness was openly apparent.<br />At the hospital in those few last days....I saw my Mother and Father come together with a hand clasp and a kiss that sent me out of the room, tears streaming and unable to even understand the picture before me. Why now? After all those years....why then?<br />Love takes all forms and in the final acts, the final seasons of life it springs from withered rose petals and wrinkled paper to something that was always there underneath the nettles and weeds that pricked and drew blood. It was this way for my parents. I never would have thought there was any love there at all. I rarely if ever saw any outward signs of affection and never heard the words that one would whisper tenderly to one's beloved. It was all about staying together for us, us kids......our interests....<br />On this Valentine's Day I find myself reminiscing of past events in my parent's lives....I wonder if it was only about us....in my self-absorbed little world could there have been something that flickered between them to have them endure such a difficult and tumultuous relationship?<br />I cling to that.....I see my Dad wither each day, each week, each month.....lost in his frail body and mind and wonder if he is lost without her. His life, his wife....his beloved. I wonder if he waits and longs for his reunion with her.....I pray he does and that it is a joyous one!In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-86982321831677163432011-08-31T08:39:00.000-04:002011-08-31T08:40:03.589-04:00Grace like rain - Todd Agnew<object height="345" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TPgiH6uEhB8?version=3&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TPgiH6uEhB8?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="345" width="560"></embed></object>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-34115508501850594702011-08-31T07:52:00.000-04:002011-08-31T08:36:29.859-04:00I wait - Todd Agnew<object height="345" width="420"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2EiV4yRdw04?version=3&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2EiV4yRdw04?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="345" width="420"></embed></object>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-57922528701424172982011-08-30T07:22:00.003-04:002011-08-30T07:33:15.836-04:00Going swimming......really?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtsJD04Fux-wdqtQrC3MXX5ic3ULT1bA4GGf1f01UAWMISS2e23CnYWhp8di7IoTLKuH1pkLbf_ZID5NNNoYuHl8F_0v9IoRT9rFhdqvsnnYD0QsdJ1zSudhW1JkLGyLD-_Mw/s1600/5326610.bin.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 206px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtsJD04Fux-wdqtQrC3MXX5ic3ULT1bA4GGf1f01UAWMISS2e23CnYWhp8di7IoTLKuH1pkLbf_ZID5NNNoYuHl8F_0v9IoRT9rFhdqvsnnYD0QsdJ1zSudhW1JkLGyLD-_Mw/s320/5326610.bin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646610335456082274" border="0" /></a>

<br />One person was swept into a river and remained missing and thousands more were without power in Quebec and the Maritime provinces as post-tropical storm Irene continued to wreak havoc. In New Brunswick, More than 50,000 were without electricity Monday morning. The hardest hit area was around Fredericton, where more than 13,000 customers were without power. Coastal Nova Scotia was also afflicted.

<br />If one was confused about the path to Jesus, the funeral for Jack Layton might not shed any light on it. Although it was beautiful, enthusiastic and gut-wrenching at times, it was more of a political rally than a celebration of what is promised to those who love the Lord. It confused me and I thought I was pretty clear on things of that nature. Spirituality is a whole ball of tangled yarn to a messy world. I pray Jack finds himself in that promised place of perfection.

<br />I am incredibly bad at keeping my ambitions to have this blog current.
<br />I have come to a real desperate place in my life. I pass a lot of it off as middle age crazy......but God does have other ways for me to resolve some of the burning issues of my life. I have a real inclination to be distrustful of the masses around me. Everywhere around me is such dishonesty and disrespect and agenda playing that I basically do not believe anyone can or does tell the truth. Life is a big stage that the players are so badly broken that they never get to the real thing, the One thing. Talk is big and actions are bigger. The fault lies within us and around us. Back to the Garden, back to the Fall........the slithery snake of lies and deceit....I am resolved to be unresolved always. I am also the broken.....and the stage feels very awkward ....Sometimes I want no part of it and other times I wish I was a part of it, for lack of something different or of something more, of something real and honest. Is it out there......?

Unfortunately there is not enough. I need to have Him work on that through me. I am in a state of constant doing and don't know how to get out of that. Many family commitments have I and sometimes I feel I am losing myself in those commitments. Can't seem to find my way around them but I will.

If no-one but I, read this in time.....it is ok. I am missing looking back at the places of my heart that I have been .....so with a new look and a place of total surrender to the Holy One and by allowing His thoughts and His words to speak through me.....I trust that He will give this blog a new life. Much has transpired and will continue to transpire in my life and around me on this earthly plain. Some has been life-changing and sad and gloriously wonderful and never an accident but always a divine appointment. My 50 odd years (yes, I am old) here on this mudball continues to be molded by the Hand of God and I am glad to be here and if you are checking in from time to time, welcome! If you can glean even an iota of Truth from my ramblings then He is glorified. The one most truly significant revelation that I can say today that has shaped me in the last few years is that I am so insignificant in my own strength and when I look to Him to give me insight and security and acceptance and freedom and unconditional love, my significance found in Him is above this earthly realm. I am in the Beloved and nothing I do or say in my own flesh will remove me from that place. So, I accept being imperfect in my flesh but know that my perfection lies in Jesus Christ, living and breathing His Life in and through me and I give Him all praise to Him as I lift my arms to Him in anticipation of what will be.In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-1912471702045219772010-11-01T08:46:00.002-04:002010-11-01T08:49:19.704-04:00<span>"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."<br />~e. e. cummings, 1955~<br /></span>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-45996574051625417972010-11-01T08:40:00.000-04:002010-11-01T08:44:03.902-04:00Everlasting<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YbGgA2lIDjc?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YbGgA2lIDjc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-80464554385074664552009-12-02T07:42:00.001-05:002009-12-02T07:44:41.156-05:00Some words from my new friend and brother in Christ....He is one of the authors of "Bo's Cafe" and he is a tender-hearted and genuine man living for the Truth.<br /><br /><object width="500" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7azfoonNqpc&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7azfoonNqpc&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="315"></embed></object>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-22932421377127813722009-11-27T08:24:00.002-05:002009-11-27T08:35:48.127-05:00The Mad Hatter Strikes Again<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJQZdZynnSYojgnR_0HmVx9_Zt0ZzarlIa6N6jR_2gK2wUuSoRFMVaumI6FyW-VYooNjqLG_DjAGkhuEAL9ActJ47V3VBnHgY7z1q3bO1Mr06WYSJim3cQd0Jh06lCeRchLD4s/s1600/SDC10188.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJQZdZynnSYojgnR_0HmVx9_Zt0ZzarlIa6N6jR_2gK2wUuSoRFMVaumI6FyW-VYooNjqLG_DjAGkhuEAL9ActJ47V3VBnHgY7z1q3bO1Mr06WYSJim3cQd0Jh06lCeRchLD4s/s320/SDC10188.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408776427739148914" border="0" /></a><br /><br />From a guy who makes me incredibly happy....just by being a humble brother in the Lord. He makes me smile and chuckle and laugh out loud. Really, a lot of times something like this can make me realize the power of the Body of Christ. Simple and yet so touching. The internet community that I have the pleasure of being connected into has provided something most valuable in my life. A great source of information, heart cries, and just good support in a fun and Truth filled way. I may not have the time to always be involved in all the antics and joy but I read about it and it makes my day a lot ..... We are all far from perfect in our flesh but we recognize our perfection in Christ and He is our Life. God bless you Leonard and thanks for having me on your "hit list".

Actually just finished the last few chapters this morning. Started it yesterday. Good sign. It captivated me. Don't comment on the fictional aspect of this book. I live in fiction. The real world is too intent on fixing everyone in 5 easy steps. I love the idea that comes through that freedom is not immediate and is a journey. I know that Freedom is Christ but this is more about appropriating that. Check out a website: http://www.boscafe.com/site/ It is all about living an authentic Christian life and coming alongside others who are broken and hurting just like the rest of us....whether we let it show or not. Forget performance driven acceptance.....unconditional love is a key in this book.In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-85830011440643979092009-11-17T08:28:00.001-05:002009-11-17T08:28:55.234-05:00I Will Trust You<object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OsVYeUTVMQs&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OsVYeUTVMQs&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-53619427966304195282009-11-17T08:24:00.001-05:002009-11-17T08:25:40.540-05:00Tuesday Music Fest - Kutless<object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LUHk4X1ynDw&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LUHk4X1ynDw&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-15593556567463400152009-11-17T08:19:00.000-05:002009-11-17T08:20:02.464-05:00One of my favourites<object width="500" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T8PNk9V5EHY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T8PNk9V5EHY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="315"></embed></object>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-16556480392577477832009-11-17T08:14:00.000-05:002009-11-17T08:16:45.438-05:00Glorious - Paul BalocheFor Alvin<br /><br /><object width="500" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U-5T2UAZoPU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U-5T2UAZoPU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="315"></embed></object>In Christ Alonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22935990.post-89521127015659033912009-11-17T07:50:00.002-05:002009-11-17T07:56:35.713-05:00Why Denominations Cannot Complete the Great CommissionI really enjoyed reading <a href="http://guymuse.blogspot.com/2009/11/why-denominations-cannot-complete-great.html">this post</a> written by David Watson and introduced to me from <a href="http://guymuse.blogspot.com/">Guy's Blog</a> as well. Guy has a unique and constantly evolving thought on living from God and I respect those thoughts.
