…God puts certain people on your heart to pray for?  I wonder that every once in a while.

One such person “in” my life right now is an acquaintance that I saw, in passing, today.  I hadn’t actually seen HIM since his Mother’s funeral about 3 or 4 weeks ago.  I’d seen his vehicle a few times, saw his Brother and Sister, I had even seen his Dad, but I hadn’t seen him.  He had kind of been in the back of my mind before his Mother’s funeral, but since then, God has put him at the forefront of my mind, and thus almost at the top of my prayer list.  He looked like he was doing okay this morning…or as okay as he’d allow to be seen when he was with his work crew.  Every once in a while, I wonder how he is taking his Mother’s death.  But God just “tells” me to pray for this acquaintance and the rest of his family a little more at that time.

Who knows what God is thinking when he puts a complete stranger on your heart?  It makes it VERY interesting to pray for someone when, basically, all you know is their name…and that’s only if you are lucky.

I have always figured that I would be a prayer warrior some day.  I could never see myself in any other part of the ministry.  I guess I’m getting there, huh?  NOW, I guess I need to become even more sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s guidance and urgings, so I can do more for the Kingdom of God as a prayer warrior!!!

God Bless You during this special time of you!!!

….According to the book of Deuteronomy in the Bible, Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land with the Israelites.  Do you know why?  According to what MY Bible says that I just read in the last few days, Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land because he disobeyed God.  Now, I know alot of people probably think that this was due to the Israelites not entering the Promised Land after the spies came back and told them that giants lived there.  But according to my Bible, that was NOT the reason that Moses was not allowed to lead Israel into the Promised Land.  What WAS the reason, you ask?  I’m afraid that it seems to be because Moses used “excessive force”.  When the people of Israel were complaining that there was no water, God told Moses to go to a certain rock and SPEAK to it.  What did Moses do?  According to Scripture, he struck the rock with his rod.  Now, what strikes ME as being odd in this whole story is the fact that God told Moses how to lead the people out of Egypt, God told Moses how to part the Red Sea, God told Moses where they needed to camp and when they needed to travel….Moses seemed to trust God enough to follow God’s directions COMPLETELY in all of these other instances.  Tell me WHY, then, did Moses NOT follow God’s instructions concerning getting water for the people?  I’m sure there’s LOTS of theories about it, but honestly, if you ask me, it seemed that Moses let his emotions get the best of him in this instance.  But then, that raises the question, at least for me that, IF Moses had controlled his emotions enough to be able to get God to turn His wrath away from His people and NOT destroy them completely like He had planned when Moses prayed to Him, WHY did Moses let his emotions run out of control in this instance?

Ahhhhhh, the joys of reading the Scripture and wondering!!!  I’m no expert on the subject, but I DO sometimes wonder!!!  Don’t you?

God Bless You!!!

Hey, all!!!  I noticed that it’s been a few days since I’ve been in here to do an entry.  Sorry!!!  It’s just been a busy several days!!!

As some of you might notice, at the top of my site, there is now a new page labelled “St. John’s”.  I JUST put it up tonight…or rather EARLY this morning, since it’s now almost 1A.M.  It’s something that I’ve had in mind for a couple of weeks now, and it’s not QUITE how I want it, but doing it this way will get it on-line, so hopefully it will do someone some good!!!  I will TRY to work on getting it the way I REALLY want it over the next 3 or 4 weeks, so it can be a semi-permanent (is anything on the internet a PERMANENT fixture?) part of our little corner of the internet world.  Let me know what you think!!!

God Bless, and I will TRY to get in here and do some entries on a more regular basis soon!!!
