T is for Transatlantic

Shoot

S is for Shoot.
Not going to get this A to Z challenge done. Sorry folks. I tried.
Maybe in the next couple of days I'll post the last letters T-Z and my thoughts on them. Life has been busy. Thoughts have been many. Time has been little.

Be blessed. Be a blessing.

R is for Rain

"Rain can ruin your weekend
Or rain can spare your life,
Depending on who you are
Or what your thirst is like." Mark Heard

So many things can be good or bad.

Hope your life is spent in thanksgiving and praise.
For all things work together for the good for those who are the called...
God didn't say all things were good, just that they work for the good.

Be blessed. Be a blessing.
CC. PF. Love Jesus above all else.

Q is for Questions

I heard a quote once that stated, “A fool has more questions than a wise man has time to answer.”

Basically, the foolish man will keep asking questions regardless of what answers they have been given.

I had a conversation with someone who would always ask me questions about my faith. When I gave him my thoughtful response he would always seem to have a pat comeback. One day he asked me a question and I just simply said, “I don’t know. What do you think?” He then gave me the response that he had planned before I could answer. He was surprised that I responded by saying, “Okay, can I get back to my conversation now?” Since I was talking to someone else when he asked the question.

He said, “I didn’t mean to make you mad.”

I told him he didn’t make me mad, but I knew he didn’t want to hear what I had to say. He just wanted to give me his response. I told him later when he came by my area, if he was right, then our conversations mean nothing and are a waste of time. But If I was right, and I believe that I was and still am, then he is in trouble and that bothered me.

As a Christian we should always be ready to give an answer for this hope that we have. But, we need to be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves. We need to be discerning because there will come a moment when it is time to brush the dust from our feet and move on. Sometimes it’s best just to walk away from a dog that keeps trying to bite you than to keep trying to pet it.

I don’t believe in “trophy” friendships. “What is a ‘trophy’ friendship?” You may ask. It’s a friendship built on nothing but winning them to your point of view. If they don’t come to your point of view you toss them away and move on to the next ‘trophy.’

I believe in building relationships, but relationships need to be based on love. Romans 12:9 “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.”

The guy I mentioned at the beginning of this? We are still friends. He may not agree with me, but he knows I love him and would do what I can to help him.

P is for Perfect

There is none righteous. No, not one.

Nobody's perfect except God. So don't feel so righteous.

Those who like to use Romans to condemn groups of people by using select verses need to read all of Romans. Paul condemns everyone. We are all guilty and in need of Jesus' saving grace.

As Paul would say, "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

Be blessed. Be a blessing.

N is for Nonsense

Before I take you on my small road trip here let me give you the definition that I'm using.

Nonsense...(from Dictionary.com #5) "anything of trifling importance or of little or no use."

How many of us have gotten caught up in the whole "golden calf" frame of mind? In order to love our families we must 'give them the best of everything.' How many have lost their family or friends chasing the "American Dream?" How many in the body of Christ have equated riches and fame with blessings from God?

Jesus said we can't serve God and money. Sometimes what God desires from us goes against monetary gain.

We sometimes defend our selfishness as some sort of "right."

I will let you know, I have just as much of a problem with people who think that they have a "right" to take from the rich to distribute to who they think deserve it. We are told that if we don't work we don't eat. But, we are also told to feed those who are hungry, clothe those who are naked, give drink to the thirsty. This is all a part of love. Jesus didn't tell us to take from some people to give to others. He basically wanted us, out of love for each other, to take care of each other.

Some people in politics like to think of themselves as Robin Hood. They think they are taking from the rich to give to the poor. What exactly did the legend known as Robin Hood do? He took from a oppressive over taxing government money taken from the people and gave it back to the people. Do I endorse stealing? No way.

I believe in helping others. It is what God wants. It's not the government's job. It's everyone of us in Christ's job. But, if we consider it our "Christian duty" then we are doing it for the wrong reason.

Love just does. Everything else is nonsense.

Be blessed. Be a blessing.
Eat cheesecake. Listen to Pink Floyd. Love Jesus above all. Everything else is nonsense.

M is for Mature

You ever see those movies where they say "For Mature Audiences?" Most of the time the characters are acting anything but mature.

How about "Mature Language." That's a good one.

Let's see. What is mature language. Uh...commitment. Sobriety. Moderation. Control. Faithfulness. Love. Kindness.

Some movies with the "Mature Language" just remind me of kids who just learn a bad word that will "shock" their parents so they use it a lot. Yeah, right, really mature.

I guess maybe I'm just God fashioned. Perfect? No. Loving? Try to be. Forgiven? Definitely.

Be blessed. Be a blessing.
Cheesecake. Spaghetti. Pink Floyd. Love Jesus above all.

If you are ever in Destin, FL during the summer (June, July or the first part of August) come see me at Baytowne Wharf playing the tunes for the kids on Tuesday Nights for Mini-Gras.

L is for Love...of course...

I Corinthians 13:13

“Now abide these three faith, hope and love; but the greatest of these is love.”

He who says he loves God but hates his brother is a liar.

Love God. Love your neighbor.

As I have loved you. Love each other.

If I said that I was sad/would you cheer me up?
If I said that i was glad/would you raise your cup?
If I said that I was lonely/would you spend the day?
If I said the I was bored/would you want to play?
If I said that I was hurting/would you share my pain?
If I said that I was broke/would you share your gain?

Would you love me?

Do I think there is life on other planets? I don’t know. But how does that help me love you? – Glen McClead…aka DJ GlenMC

K is for Kinetic Energy

Kinetic Energy...what is it?
Heck if I know.
But it starts with K and I got that letter taken care of for the day.
Wish I could see TobyMac. He's playing here tonight. I saw him when he was early in his career with DC Talk. (That has nothing to do with Kinetic Energy btw)

So, anyway....Kinetic Energy...click on the link. It will take you to a wikipedia reference to Kinetic energy so maybe you let me get back to goofy off and stop asking me about kinetic energy.

Be blessed. Be a blessing.
Eat cheesecake. Listen to Pink Floyd. Love Jesus above all else...Really...
