who ever is following the penn state scandle - Mike McQueary will not be coaching the Penn State vs. Nebraska game on Saturday due to threats. In my opinion he should be fired also. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/post/tom-bradley-says-mike-mcqueary-will-coach-for-penn-state-saturday/2011/11/10/gIQAegdF9M_blog.html?wprss=early-lead

You aren't alone - Not sure this was where you were going w/ this............... Anyway, You just do………..because we live in this sinful world, we place labels on the situations (good or bad) that occur in our lives, it is part of our existence. God allows things to happen to us , He sees the big picture - He knows the outcome when sometimes and probably most times we don’t. There could be someone else He wants to reach and He uses us to do that. We praise Him and the light hopefully shines through. I have been through a lot the last year and I have seen other people grow from different events that has happened – maybe not good for me, but good for them. However, if it brings someone to Christ then it really is good for me too because God allowed that to happen and used me for that purpose. Praying for you sis!!! love, sister-in-Christ, Jane

Wow - I have severe asthma and I use a prescription inhaler twice a day and a prescription rescue inhaler just about every day and I also take accolate which is a pill twice a day for my asthma and I still have problems breathing. Over-the-counter inhalers wouldn't really help me, but people that need them for mild asthma will be at higher risk to develop a worse problem w/out otc inhalers. If they want to be able to breath, they will be forced to get a prescription when they don't need one. And, I'm sure there are much more bigger problems causing ozone depletion.

Thanks, Jane, for the good word. Could you refresh my memory where Jesus talks about how important it is to continue to assemble as a church? Your sister in Christ, Eleanor Hebrews 10:25 King James Version (KJV) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

woooooooohooooooooooo ((((((((((((((jml))))))))))))))))) ty sweeeettttttt lillllllllllllllllllll sisssssssssssssss love ya'!!!!!!

I'm sorry statements like these just bother me. Is the church you are reffering to here the church as the bible describes it. Or are we talking about the building. God's bigger then the building. One can easily live a healthy spiritual life without the going to a church building once a week. It is not about the building, and often people who don't go to church use this as a reason. It is about the body of Christ, learning, fellowship, and everything else that church entails. Tell me, if there had never been early church's, where would you be in your walk now? Read the Epistles. We need church and have always needed church. Scripture shows us that God desires it. Thank you Fez, and, Amen!!!!!

Putting other activities ahead of regular worship services is a form of idolatry. Putting other activities a head of regular worship services is a form of idolatry when it becomes first (before God). It is ok to have pleasures - But, when we (humans) put pleasures before God week after week after week and rather have fun and say, "I'll go to church or worship or fellowship when the weather isn't nice or there isn't anything else or fun to do.........then yes, it becomes a form of idolatry. Idolatry is not just worshiping another "god" it is a human weakness to value something or someone in a way that hinders the love and trust we owe to God. Putting God first means loving and trusting God first, above all, and with everything we are and have. In idolatry we fail to give genuine thanks to the Giver of life and its goods. We are like theives and steal God's rightful honor and dissociate fellowship with both God and others. It leaves us with stolen goods that become "bads," and they cannot sustain or satisfy us. Only God, the ultimate Giver of goods can do that. So putting God first we receive these "pleasures and goods" not on our terms but on the terms of God. This is the key to freedom in life under God, the ultimate gift Giver. Blessings, Jane

I am in charge of the monthly newsletter for my church. After attending church last week and noticing that not even half of the "regulars" were there, God told me He wanted me to write this article and put the other article aside for now. I thought I'd share my article here. Church During the summer / warmer months, church attendance appears to be sparse. Jesus talks about how important it is to continue to assemble as a church. It is necessary for our spiritual well-being. We need to be with other Christians to encourage one another and to worship God. “And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25 Attending church on a regular basis through-out the year, increases our faith and builds us up spiritually. This is important when we come face to face with conflicts to our faith. Keeping our focus on God and His Word is necessary so there is no opening for satan to get in. God wants us to go to church. He designed the church as a place where spiritual leaders can watch out for us. If we answer to ourselves and to this world of sin, we can easily fall into sinful attitudes and / or sinful actions. The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away. 1 Peter 5:1-5 Church only sometimes, will hinder your spiritual life and you will be tempted to conform to the sins of this world. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 13:1 Sure it is easy to skip church because you want to get an early start to your day, or maybe you are vacationing. That seems innocent enough. What is the harm in that? When we put our wants and needs first, it leads to worldly and fleshy pleasures, and that becomes idolatry. Church is a very important part of our spiritual life, without it, we fall short. Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world -- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life -- is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 1 John 2:15-17 You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. Exodus 20:3-4 And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, Titus 2:12 Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here. John 18:36 Blessings, love, sister-in-Christ, Jane

The verdict is in on the Casey Anthony case - on the murder of her daughter: .................she is not guilty - the only thing she was found guilty on was lying to police................ wow!!!!

A few weeks ago I handed an article to my pastor about this day just to see what reaction it got - disgust, mouth drop open, eyes wide open, in shock and a head shake no!!! The qur'an was not read in my church...........had it been, I would have got up and left never to return again............also, I would have handed my resignation in as secretary effective immediately!!!! Blessings , Jane

tigssssss...........been praying for you sis...................you can trust God!!! I know things aren't easy...but God doesn't give up on us.............it's all in His timing, He has a plan and we are in it.....don't give up sis.............. For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Malachi 3:6 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Numbers 23:19 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. Lamentations 3:22 tigs love, sister-in-Christ, Jane

Thanks One!!!!!
