47-48 Because you didn't serve God, your God, out of the joy and goodness of your heart in the great abundance, you'll have to serve your enemies whom God will send against you. Life will be famine and drought, rags and wretchedness; then he'll put an iron yoke on your neck until he's destroyed you.
I'm on a Joy kick. I am also enjoying reading passages in The Message. My questions for tonight...? What defines my purpose? Am I allowing God to mold me for this purpose? ==Or even better, WHAT MOTIVATES ME?? Time to PRAY.

Processing Sunday
From Jonah 4: 1 But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry. 2 He prayed to the LORD, "O LORD, is this not what I said when I was still at home? That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. 3 Now, O LORD, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live."
This is Jonah's reaction to an entire city of 120,000 people repenting and turning toward God based on his cheesy 8 word sermon (see Chapter 3 vs. 4). He is really angry, actually hacked off that God had compassion on Ninevah. Wow. It really makes me realize how skewed our thought processes can be. My prayer is that if God could take a few of my words and change lives, that I would REJOICE. My family is working hard on one verse in particular from 1 Thessalonians: "Be joyful always." Without sounding too ridiculous, this is changing the lives of my 7,5, and 4 year old kids!! I LOVE it!!

Ugly Background (but I liked it...)
Here is a PPT or shout background. Most of these graphics are 1024*768 and will open larger if you click on them, then you can save them to your hard drive. If anyone has has any "special request"...I'd love to try. God Bless you all!!20071205
Psalm 29
God is AWESOME!! I am becoming a bit more interested in the creation of graphics. Most of my post will incorporate my slow and steady attempt to learn various programs. Feel free to use any graphics posted on my blog as they are my free gift to you!!

Back to Blogging
I have slacked off in the blogging dept.---The good news is I have been focusing heavily on important things...sleeping, eating, Habersham Raider football, etc. On a very serious note, my passion for worship and putting Christ in the CENTER of my life has almost got me on fire. I literally feel like a man/catalyst that is ready to explode with the Good news of a LOVING Savior!!
God Bless!! I plan on adding more graphics to the site soon!! See Y'all...hehehehehe.
