Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Rejoice means to FEEL great joy. It can also mean to CAUSE great joy. That brings insight to this verse for me. I have read this verse many times. Yeah, I know we should be glad that Lord cares enough to save our unworthy souls. Yes, I am glad He cares about me ALL the time. Read it again... This is what it is saying to me tonight. Cause joyfullness, always with the Lord's help; Again I say feel the joy in what you HAVE. I'm not trying to add to the Bible. I'm simple sharing my pea sized brain's interpretation of this verse at this moment. Many of you know that scripture can speak to you differently everyday if that is what God needs it to do. The Holy Word is most beautiful in that way. God urges us to make the CHOICE to be joyful. It is not an emotion that is tucked away for when everything is going smoothly. It is a CHOICE!

Happy Saturday! I'm enjoying a few precious moments of relaxation. I hope you get to relax today as well. This has been so much on my mind lately. The most consistent theme of my thoughts is living simply. My generation has witnessed technology explode. It has brought many good things.

The blank is ever changing and can cost people "on the wrong side" everything they worked for. Are we researching, digging, gathering opinions of like minded...

Hello! Welcome to my blog. I am a brand new blogger so forgive me. I created this to simply share my ramblings, insights, and prayers. I am moved by my nations emotions at the moment. We have turned one another. There is no united in the USA. Logic and realistic thought processes have left our misguided minds. We get our news from the opinions of others. It is exhausting to be bombarded by 87 versions of the same story. The facts of the headline are misconstrued and emotions fed. The band wagon phenomenon is in full swing. We can't trust our media to report facts. They spin the story the way they want to get ratings. Sadly, most citizens do not even realize they are allowing themselves to be mislead. The enemy is upon us. I fear we will follow history's story and self-destruct like many great nations before us. Open your eyes friends. Check the source of your information. Don't "comment" on topics that you have n...
