vote today


 

Today is voting day, election day, in the USA.  We have a great privilege to live in this land.  Yes, things may be hard and troubled, but we have so many blessings that others around the world don't.  If you haven't voted yet, step up and exercise your right and responsibility to do so.  I am praying for our nation and leaders today.  Join me.


Why vote?  Be a good citizen.  Honor God and the standards He calls us to hold.  Make a difference.


Where should we focus?  These are tough times, but all around us are all kinds of blessings.  What we choose to focus on changes everything for us and others.  Choose to be negative and you will lead others to be negative.  Be position and see how others begin to see the light or dream big.


Why even care?  Many think that they will not make a difference to vote or to be kind or to go out of our way for someone else.  We should stop looking at the struggle and what holds back.  Start looking at why and how we can move forward.


That is one reason why I choose to be a great citizen of this country.  That is why I choose to hold on to what God has said.  God is changing me.  God is working in our nation.  He is working in me and in you.


Do what is right.  Pray for yourself, for your family, for those you influence and for our nation as well as the world.


Psalm 111:10  NLT

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom. Praise him forever!


Do what God leads you to do and make a difference!  That fruit should remain.


John 15:16  NLT

You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
