Beloved Whitney


Beloved Whitney
Our beloved Whitney and will so surely be missed by millions.  She impacted this nation’s celeb righteousness in a  huge way.  Before her plunge into darkness, the world of drugs and alcohol. She radiated the Christian love of Jesus, when she was free of those burdens.  It is in this that we recognize the price of fame and fortune vs.  the value of our soul.  Her small trek into darkness, I doubt will shake the will of Jesus to redeem her into its arms.  Only he knows her true heart no matter how hard the enemy tries to mask  her virtue. Only god can see through the dark enemies veil of deception.

According to the Wikipedia encyclopedia (www.wikipedia.com/Whitney_Houston ), Whitney Houston was recognized by the Guinness book of world records for being the most achieved Grammy winners amongst the stars.  She not only was a pop icon, she was a producer, an actress and a model.  Although Whitney is most famous for her movie music soundtracks, she’s sang other meaningful music as well.  Whitney Houston gave us incredible Christian music that inspired the soul.  Some of her Christian songs were an inspiration from my own walk in the footsteps with Jesus.  As a Christian I know the daily trials and tribulations of everyday life.  Her Christian songs helped lift the spirits of many during in those trying times.

Whitney sang a song that will play repeatedly in my head and of course I played repeatedly in my car.  The song is written as such: “I’m gonna take it; step by step, brick by brick, yeah, stone by stone, and bit by bit”…….  Pertaining to the Course of  trials and tribulations Christians face in everyday life.
Dear Whitney why didn't you listen to your own music?  I’m sorely saddened and dismayed by Whitney’s passing; as a I’m sure many of you are as well.  We must pray for this fall, one from the flock.  That Jesus may win her once more.

When tragedies like these happen in life, it truly can make aware of what we truly do have.  It can put things in their proper perspective and direct in the ways of concern.  This is not a bad thing in that sense, because concern oftentimes attends to appropriation.  This is a time when rebirth is possible; During these times of self reflection the power of the cross can become much more clear. Only when one sees that their “may” be problems in one’s life; can then one fix them.  Until then awakening to what’s important in life rarely comes. Most certainly god’s calling for the day and maternal endowment does such things happen.  Aside from these are in between blessings does one rarely wake up.

I pray that through this tragedy, we may all learn a valuable lesson of how invaluable life is.  To recognize how well we truly do have it, as American citizens; especially compared to other nations and their suffering.  And even more so I pray that this can lead others back to the ways of the lord.  I pray that Hollywood awakens to the beast prowling upon them and returns speedily to our Lord Jesus.

The Present Age & Christian Values


I know many of you have probably been thinking along the same lines I have; in the realms of concern for the age we live, and our christian faith. Things are not looking to good when comparing the present day values to the values of Jesus. If we compare values we could very well find ourselves on fire.

The point I'm trying to make is, we really need to reevaluate our way of life. We cannot go on sinning for ever. There has to be a time when we realize that greed has gotten out of control and lust is a sickness eating at our people souls.

Until we come to the knowledge that we are not in control, we will never know what control control is (metaphorically speaking).This of course is metaphysical, as is the Christian faith but true none the less. We at a fault never seem to look deeper into our reasoning behind much of anything. This puts us at an evolutionary disadvantage.

 If we are incapable of weeding through our thoughts, to chose "rights-thought" & the "wrong-thoughts"; how can we ever expect to evolve into higher spiritual beings? The ability to commune with the holy spirit is in-part, the ability to weed out all the other junk in our lives. To except that which only comes by the Holy spirit is truth. Truth is rear in the present world we live in, and this clouds our thoughts. 

This is leaving everyone at a disadvantage in the departments of virtue.Overcoming is not going to be possible if people keep a door open for sin. The Holy Spirit responds to a Christians wants and a need for the goodness of God. If you are not totally committed then the spirit of God knows this and will not bother, receiving only part of our time. 

  After all this is God we are talking about, not a buddy or a coworker, but The One True living GodWho do we think we are that we allot a time of the week, a couple days or even an hour a day for God. That is some what presumptuous on our part to think God would wait around for us; to give him the time of day. Does this not sound as ridiculous as it is? Because it is, people live their lives this way trained from child-hood. Seeking god on Sunday and then moving on with their lives in the world the rest of the week.

 This  my friends gives no hint to any spiritual chance for evolving but in retro spec, shows our future backsliding in humanity. If we cannot commit to God 24/7 then we are not worthy of his gifts. This is what  "Living the way", means; living Souly for God,  and wanting nothing but God. Seeking for God in everything around us. Any thing else after the fact (of awareness) is only effort wasted.

Mind you we must remember that we cannot judge, we must leave that up to God. Our part in this is merely to awaken others to help in this very same passion.
