Powerful is our LORD

Psalm 97
1 The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.

2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3 Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every side.

4 His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.

5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all peoples see his glory.

7 All who worship images are put to shame,
those who boast in idols—
worship him, all you gods!

8 Zion hears and rejoices
and the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments, Lord.

9 For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.

10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Light shinest on the righteous
and joy on the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous,
and praise his holy name.

These words are what define our lord and our life. God creates all and god can destroy all. We are made to love and praise the creator. He has built this all for us and loves us so much. We need to understand both his love and his power. After all he has made us all and watches over us until the day comes when he ask us to be by his side and he returns.

Charlie Brown Meaning of Christmas

The Caterpillar & The Butterfly

What a amazing creature the Caterpillar is. A caterpillar is a creature that spends its life crawling around from place to place, living a rather dull and mundane life. It doesn't necessarily serve any major purpose but, there it is. Doing its quote un quote thing.
The Caterpillar is a rather simple looking insect, usually one color, slowly crawling around like a slinky with legs, Til one day; something inside it causes it to long for something different. The Caterpillar starts to feel a need to get to a place where it can feel safe and start its next journey in its life. So this little useless, boring caterpillar finds a place of comfort, usually in a tree or bush. It then starts to build a cocoon. Now in its cocoon it starts to change.
The change take time & doesn't happen over night. It is developing its self into something completely & utterly different.

Now the Time has come...........
One Day the cocoon opens up and low and behold, Something amazing happens. Something that doesn't even resemble the caterpillar breaks through the shell of the cocoon.

On this day a creature with endless possibilities is born. For this creature has wings and is no longer limits to the slow crawl on the ground. Gone is the boring rather dull look of its former self, now it is a sight to behold. It is full of amazing color and has grand wings to take it anywhere it wants to be. Case in point the now transformed butterfly is not even a fraction of its previous self.

The Human Connection to the Caterpillar and the Butterfly

When we look at ourselves we may find some similarities between the story of the butterfly. As humans we are often in the day to day life we live. Going from Point A to Point B, unfulfilled full of void and searching for our true calling in life.
One day we feel that pulling in our heart, that whisper in the back of our ear and we feel the urge to find out more about what these other people are finding in god. So we start to hear the word and feel the word. We wrap ourselves around it. Keeping it close to us. Cocooning ourselves in the word of god. While in this state we are being transformed . Not over night, but over time. We find our fleshly self and spiritual self being molded until that day comes and we.......Break form that cocoon and take our true form. Leaving our past self behind. Not resembling the Caterpillar of old. We are now full of spirit and life. We have our spiritually filled wings and we can accomplish great things.

I tell you if you have felt the pull in your heart to find out more about our lord, just take that step. That often uncomfortable and hard first step in molding your self. For god so Loves us more than we even know and he wants us in his life. Don't Spend your life stuck as a Caterpillar but become like the Butterfly , because eternity is waiting, so make that first step. God Bless.

I am ME Jeremy and God Loves Me.

I know in my heart that I am loved. Give me 9 months ago and I would say you are crazy. It comes at a point where your life and soul take a turn towards the true calling. For me it was a panic phone call from my wife begging me to go see the priest at my local parish. At the moment I was filling myself full of me. I was planning a day of drinking and living the life I was. When my wife called at 10am saying the deacon wanted to meet with me, I became pissed. I blamed her for putting this new burden on me. I was happy in my life of self destruction. I had my day planned and she was interfering...Little did i know it was the greatest interference in my life I ever had.

God's Chisel

A amazing Prayer By Gus Lloyd

Drain Me Of Me

By: Gus Lloyd

Father, I am so full of myself.
I know that if I truly wish to serve you,
If I truly wish to share your word and your love,
This must not be the way.
And so today, Father, I ask you:
Drain me of me

Of all the self-inflated ego
Drain me

Of all the harsh judgement that comes so easily
Drain me

Of all jealousy and resentment
Drain me

Of all the desire for attention and adulation
Drain me

Of all attachment to the flesh
Drain me

Of all that is not of you
Drain me

And when I am emptied, unencumbered by
The stuff and nonsense of the world,
No longer weighed down by the heaviness
And burdens put upon me by myself
Or the dark forces of the evil one

Fill me with your Spirit,
For your Spirit has no chains,
Your Spirit recognizes no boundaries,
Your Spirit is lightness and light,
Your Spirit allows me to soar
As on eagle’s wings.

And so, Father, right now, this moment
I give you permission to
Drain me of me,
That I may be more like you
Through your Son, Jesus Christ
In the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen
