Eye of the Storm

I was watching CNN the other day and jumped over to take in the Fox News slant too and realized I had a question in myself above and beyond the usual. I couldn't put my finger on it and even though I thought back at all the news heard and seen ticker taping across the bottom of the CNN news screen, I wasn't sure what it was that I was missing.

A friend called on the telephone and after about three days of feeling I was missing something about all that is going on, I confessed to her “I don't know anything.” Nothing new to tell her in our phone conversation is how I felt.

I prayed about this unusual feeling of “What am I missing here?” It was about then that I got “You are in the eye of the storm.” That seemed to fit perfectly! Giving it some thought, I realized there was a storm going on all around me, yet, I was in the eye of it being unscathed as I watched. God is the God of me and was giving me a rest as though I was in the eye of a storm. A hush, although eerie, was where I sat calmly pressing forward in Christ Jesus day by day without a bruise. Loving and being loved. Busy, and pleasantly so, without horrible things like I was hearing and seeing on TV. Glad to be a part of anybody else's need to try to help alleviate any suffering they were having even as others have done for me at my troubled times in the past.

I am in Christ Jesus and so as I watch the perplexity of nations all around me in these end times that is very well at hand, I am in the calm. Not unaffected, but calm none the less, because God is the God of me. What a privilege to belong to Him....we must share Him with others every opportunity that avails itself. We must. It does not matter if we share with someone who already knows Jesus or to share Jesus with someone who doesn't know Him, be it to encourage or enlighten, we must share. I feel blessed to be brought to the remembrance of this part of my first love in Him. Hope you are likewise blessed in your walk with Him too.

In sharing...lets listen to this together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnWKehsOXu8&NR=1

Blessed be His glorious name!

Amen?

Time for 2010Census!

It is March 2010Census time! Are you ready? Do you know your rights? This following article was brought to my attention. I have one of these up to date computers that when I write 2010 the word Census pops right up with the date. That is why there is no space between 2010 and census. Such is how the new window 7 computers are programed. How is that for 'others' getting us ready. Ha!

government&catid=19:guest-opinion

It is a written article that needs no downloading

and explains so clearly all it has to say, I leave

it as it is for you to read.

It says we can count on a nosy government.

But this next site is a video and really caused me

to take notice in that if a census taker comes and

asks the questions this fellow suggests they will

ask, I am thinking I won't be answering them! I

don't share that kind of info with anybody. What I

pay for my utilities is not just anybodies business

now is it? I would not want to just go along with

this line of questioning just to keep peace and

help anybody think they can come and ask even more

private questions of a even more private nature. I

see absolutely no reason for our government to need

to know this info and if they do, they can call the

utility companies and ask what the going rate is for

themselves like we do when we buy a house in some

specific area. To give them my usage is to ask them

to judge me whether I am using enough or too little

according to their say so and you can bet it won't

be long and “the government” will be telling us to

turn our thermostat up or down; most likely down.

This Minnesotan says “Brrrrrr.” And, “Mind your own

business!”

This video is worth struggling to download and view for those who have dial up.

I never think of census without thinking of the birth of Jesus. Joseph and Mary were about the business of registering for census when Jesus was born. Maybe, just maybe, Jesus will COME AGAIN when THIS census is being taken. How glorious that would be!

Well, it is something to think about!

Lord Bless us.
