He is Risen - Easter 2020


Happy Easter - He is Risen!
This morning I enjoyed my coffee in the garden with Alex. The beautiful music of the sound of children laughing and playing caught the attention of both Alex and myself.
I love that sound. Since COVID19, I have had the great pleasure of hearing the sound of children, laughing, playing, riding their bikes, skateboards, scooters. Walking with their parents and their pets up and down the hike and bike trail.
This Easter Season as I contemplate the great gift of a Jewish Savior, the Messiah, the Passover Lamb, the One that takes away the sin of the world, Jesus Christ, I've also contemplated the great sin of our country.
The realization that the music of millions upon millions of children has been silenced across our nation and the globe is a shadow we all bear.
There are people who claim Christ as Lord and Savior and yet they not only condone, but vote year after year to silence the music of children. I can't help but wonder how they reconcile their Christianity with their participation in murder.
When they hear their children and their grandchildren and great grandchildren laugh, do they cry for all the laughter they helped silence?
When they read God's Word and He says, though shalt not kill, do they say to God, I know better than you, killing their own children is a woman's right, God? It's not your body, it's hers.
And do they really think that will fly on Judgment Day?
And can one really be a Christian, when they think they can usurp God's authority?
These are things I think about . . .

The Christian World has been sending out pleas to pray 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Will God hear those prayers knowing that many in the USA and I'm sure elsewhere will go and vote to murder the unborn?  It's in the Democratic Platform, if that is the party you vote then you vote to murder the unborn.

If you won't hear the cries of children as they are being ripped to shreds in their mothers wombs, or drowned in chemicals, why would you think God will hear your prayers.

Repent this Easter Sunday and vote for life in the fall.

Entering the Gates and Courts of God

Image
Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Where are the gates and courts of God? When I was a young woman we used to sing this Psalm during praise and worship. It was such a wonderful experience to sing God's word back to Him. So, all my life I thought that the gates and courts of God were in a heavenly place and that spiritually speaking I would enter to praise and make supplication/pray to God. Lately, though I have gotten into the habit of saying that 4th verse of the 100th Psalm before my personal devotions and prayer time. Then I begin to ponde

Pact with the Devil? Null and Void!! How?

Image
Have you made a pact with the Devil? Now you have decided you really don't want to forfeit your immortal soul for temporary things. The old adage you can't take it with you when you go has become up close and personal. The truth is you are an eternal being and no, you can't take it with you when you go. Maybe whatever it is you traded your soul for has turned to ash in your mouth and a burden on your existence. Perhaps you were convinced that there would never be a way out for you. There is a way out and that is the discussion of this blog. First, you must understand what you were dealing with when you made your pact. Satan or an agent of Satan, whether human or a non-human entity, would probably have been the conduit through which your pact was made. The Bible is very clear on one thing Satan is a liar. John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your fahter ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, be

What is in a name? "Twilight's" name game.

Everything! The meaning of my name truly personifies me. I always like to arrange the meanings of names into a cohesive thought which by neccessity sometimes takes the name out of it's given order. Fortunate but bitter rope that constrains would be the cohesive meaning for my given names but it is in reverse order with my surname, middle name and first name last. So what is in the name Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. Edward is translated rich guard and while there was no clear meaning for Anthony the best I could find was flourishing. Masen is another spelling for Mason which means stone worker. Masons are actually a society of people with esoteric practices known only to its members. The true meanings of those practices are known only to the highest of initiates. Masons could also be considered the architects then of not only the buildings they built but the symbols that are dispersed throughout those structures. Cullen was in and of itself an enigma with the meaning ranging
