I learned something last night. I am taking a self-help class on a book called Safe People. A profound book on relationships that’s backed by Scripture. We discussed relational peeves in our group. I shared two experiences.

What Women Want in a Godly Man
5 traits that reveal true marriage material.
|
I am passing the link on as I believe it is a very important message. Please visit the magazine site. It also promises to do an article on “What Men Want in a Godly Woman” tomorrow.
The lady that shared the article on Facebook pointed out she would like to find a man who loves her more than his Xbox. It would be a funny statement, if it was not so pathetically true.
This is how I responded to her.
“In this day and age men who value their Xbox less than the woman in their life are not easily found, but don’t give up; they still exist! And may I add a man with class and a bit of chivalry is a must!”
Personally this is something else I would add to Ms. Fileta’s list.
Nothing makes me lose the respect of a man (or woman) more than one who uses foul language or talks or jokes about crass things. As Matthew 15:18 puts it. “But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and it is those things that make a person unclean.”
The words from his mouth tells a lot about his heart.

Be A Mentor
Do you know a young or new believer in need of a mentor? When I was a new believer I was in desperate need of one. What I really needed was a life coach to make up for all the life guidance I never received growing up, but would have greatly benefited from perching under the wings of a woman with a strong faith. Sometimes, I terribly needed someone to cry with.
I needed a persistent someone who would have sought me out. I probably didn’t believe I needed her then—but trust me— I was desperate for her. With perseverance, I believe I would have welcomed her. I didn’t need a critical and judgmental someone, or someone to point out all my “sins;” for there were many.
I needed a loving, dedicated, graceful, patient someone. I have read countless stories of people who had a mentor just like that.
When I read these stories I wonder where the mentor I urgently needed had been? Continue reading
Thy Will/My Will
There are those who say to God:
“Thy will be done. We will submit our wills to you, and place our eternity into your hands.”
God’s reward?
They will find His Blessings on earth, and spend all of eternity in His Heavenly kingdom with Him, crowned as His children.
Psalm 17:8 “Keep me as the apple of your eye, hide me under the shadow of our wings.”
Matthew 25:21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
Then there are those to whom God says: Continue reading
Don’t Miss Out On This!
IF YOUR KIDS KNOW JESUS, THEY NEED TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE AS CHRIST FOLLOWERS
If you know a kid, or you are one of God’s grown up kids, your heart needs to know this!
Don’t miss out on this free offer from Keith Ferrin. It is an identity booster for a Christ Follower.
I wish I would have known I had an identity in Christ when I was a kid, or even after I grew up! It would have saved me a lifetime of heartache and empty identity searching.
I believe this is a great way to give our children a head start in life especially the way things are in this world nowadays. Continue reading
Grieving Forefathers
This amazing image was captured by Amanda Ahren and Brian Husmann on their drive past Mount Rushmore the morning of the day it opened after being closed for two weeks due to government shut-down. It was posted on Megan Ahren’s facebook page. As of yesterday early evening, this post had gone viral with over 12,000 shares.
The symbolism is incredible considering what is going on with our nation and our government.
God Bless America. May He continue to shed His grace on this country!

Need Help Liking The Bible?
Happy Saturday everybody.
When I find something of great value I like to share it.
That is why I have spent countless hours telling stories of how God has transformed me from a person who felt meaningless and unwanted to a person who realizes that God, the Creator of the universe, the All Mighty, All Powerful God–is also my Father.
He redeemed this unwanted, forsaken, sinful, selfish, forgotten, fatherless self–ME–into His kingdom through the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son.
So now I can say,
“I got a Daddy!” Continue reading
CAUTION: You Are Being Watched
You are being watched.
REALLY.
Every day, you are being watched.
I don’t mean Big Brother, Uncle Sam, or the thousands of cameras that are popping up all over our cities. I am not referring to God, though indeed, He does watch us. Continue reading
