I Have Not Read From My Daily Journal For Several Days Now. Let Me Share With You What Today, Tomorrow, And The Next Day Reading's Are...All are taken from Connect With God by Jentezen Franklin

Continuation Of Likes/Dislikes, Am I Homesick Or Not You Decide

What I love very much so about where I live now is that chivalry is not dead here.  Chivalry in my electronic dictionary states this, "The qualities, as bravery and courtesy, idealized by knighthood." I love that almost every single day a gentleman, both young and old, will hold open a door for a lady. That is much more pronounced where I live now than where I use to live. Parents continue to teach or start teaching the boy's in your family to respect women and honor them and how to treat a lady. I just love that the men will pick up their pace a little bit to get to the door before you to open it and hold it open for you. If you want to win a ladies heart or get on the right road to winning her heart I would strongly suggest that opening door's and car door's for her is a great way to start. What about the days when you would be walking on a sidewalk and the man walks curbside to protect the lady?
All one has to do here is put on a sleeveless top and shorts along with suntan lotion and go walking and you have a tan for the day. The simple kindness' of the people with the way that they were raised in this region..Mam, Sir, Miss so and so. Fashion forward region with the latest in styles and what is trendy too. This region brings in the big name preacher's and events too. I am extremely blessed to attend a church in which not only there is the love of Jesus expressed and demonstrated (even though it is large in attendance numbers you still feel His presence) but great preacher's and worship people come to our church to bless us. They sure do bless us. With a church of this size you know that there will always be somewhere that you can plant a monetary seed that will benefit another person either in the local community or around the world. I love chit chatting while on the shuttle bus to and from the service. Being able to be a part of  a huge youth conference. Receiving the rich word of God through the preaching/teaching/worship. Worship is very rich at this church. I guess I need to seek out finding a place to live that is closer in proximity to the church so I would be able to participate more in activities and ministry. I love visiting with the little Indian man where I get my newspaper and sometimes coffee after church. Do you know that last week I got a newspaper and a coffee and he told me he didn't want to charge me for the coffee. I joked with him and said his son was going to fire him because sales are probably down when he works because he gives things away. Sure enough, when I got in the car and checked my change he only took a dollar for what I purchased. I love the Chinese restaurant near church that offers lunch time specials even on Sunday's. How many times does a restaurant offer lunch specials just during the week? They will even custom make or tweek a dish for me. I dislike celery and bok choy and they will make a dish without it for me and add fresh mushrooms and onions too at no additional charge. I love the one store I will stop in by church and a lady from church works there and leads people to the Lord right there.
I love that I am in a home filled with love and such hospitality shown to me. Helping me get back on my feet again so I will be able to venture out on m own again. Accepting me for who I am. A dog that blesses me immensely and I do not have to do the grooming, etc. I can cook or bake whenever I feel like it and the heavy burdens that weighed me down where I use to live have been lifted for me for a season.
Let me share with you what I have learned. When a male is kind and gracious and allows you to text a message or leave a voicemail message of encouragement for them, that does not mean that they care about you. Maybe they were raised to respect a lady and have a gentle nature about them so it is not in their nature to ask you to not continue to encourage them. Be wise ladies, just because someone does not say "no" to your kindness does not mean that you have won their heart. They may or may not read or listen to the words of encouragement but you must still be thankful that God used them in your life to allow you to grow in your faith walk and that is a very good thing. One day a gentleman will come into my life and love me for me and the Jesus that is inside of me. Faith allows one to be strong in their belief of knowing this will happen. When Holy Spirit speaks something to your heart it will surely come to pass it is a matter of time you watch. It will happen. I will write about it when it does and as I said before, more than likely my writing days may be put to rest so as to not share with you all what God has blessed me with in my life, as in the form of marriage. Unless...my husband would enjoy me sharing what God has done in both of our lives with all of you to be an encouragement to you that God reigns and He still does set up divine encounters/meetings to connect a man and woman together to create a beautiful union blessed by Him. Pray for me, for it is all about timing and I am so ready to share what I have to give and bring to a marriage with the one that God has pre-destined and set aside just for me. Yep, just for me. I wait with expectancy to see this unfold. God is so good and so gracious and His mercies endure forever. 
Before I conclude this writing I want to share some more with you. I have found it most endearing to observe Oriental families that walk together. If there is a child they walk next to the father and the mother walks a few paces behind them. Not always do I see this but when I do I think that is nice to see that there still are families that honor their culture. I have also observed that people that have originated from India have a gentle nature about them. If you like Lexus cars then this is the place to be or open up a Lexus dealership for there sure are a lot of them on the road. I see a lot of Mini Cooper's and of course sporty little cars too. There is no lack of BMW's and Infiniti cars on the road along with Mercedes-Benz. Do not see too many Hummer's maybe the gas crunch has stopped that craze.

Well, I Survived Walking In A Thunderstorm. Thunder That Was Very Loud With Streaks Of Lightening Too

I tried something new today. No Silly, not walking in a thunderstorm I have done that plenty of times. I walked with ankle weights on. I tried them out for the first time today and I was determined to not let a rain storm stop me from my adventure. I am not ignorant, if Holy Spirit would have cautioned me at all to not walk outside I would have heeded His voice. My niece even came after me in the car to see if I wanted a ride back home. I thanked her for thinking of me and that I was fine. It is so hot where I live that walking in the rain storm was refreshing. It didn't get warm again until after I stopped walking. While I walked the song that kept resounding in my mind had these words to it "My help comes from the Lord." It was raining so hard that the water just kept rushing down the hills into the storm water catcher things or whatever they are called. Let me share 2 pictures with you. The water is never this muddy looking it just looks like this today and yesterday too.

There was a point in which I asked Holy Spirit to make the thunder really loud. There is something about the power in a great clap of thunder, it is as if God wants to get your attention. Do you feel like that too? Why am I drawn to thunderstorms, what do you think the draw is to them? I believe it is feeling the greatness of God as the rain pellets fall on you and the rush of the rain gushing down the hills and great streaks of lightening in the sky with the spectacular sounds of the thunder booms. It must not have been too bad of a storm since I did not hear the sirens go off at the local golf course.



I had somewhat of a challenging day today and it sort of beat me up in the natural and I just needed refreshing by walking in the rain. I had the opportunity to call places located today where I use to live and it caused me to be homesick. It really did I even mentioned to a few people that I wanted to go home because it was as if I was able to reach out to home today through the phone. I was just a dial away and not the many miles away it would take to travel there. Why is it that, even though you step out in faith there is something that will draw you back to your roots? I love walking the hills where I live now but I still miss the farm country I use to walk in back home. I loved waving to the farmer when he would be working in the fields or harvesting the crops. I loved watching the eagles soar and even just knowing they were near in distance to where I lived was so amazing to me. I miss the great produce that I use to be able to get in my car and head not too far to get and the fresh beets, aah the fresh beets that I would get picked right out of the ground and then I would boil them. When they are fresh like that they are so sweet it is as if you are biting into a piece of candy. I miss suntanning late in the afternoon. I use to get the afternoon sun so I would be able to sit in the sun up until 7PM and just absorb the nutrients from the sun. I miss watering my garden. Where I lived I had the tallest Pampas grass in the neighborhood. Do you know why that was...I believe in using Miracle Gro weekly and I would water them in the evening just before it was dark. I miss my one friend that would drive past in her golf cart and we would sit out and just chit chat. Where I lived it was away from the city lights and the sky was so clear and the stars so beautiful to gaze at. I miss simple things like hosing off my patio and washing my windows and picking my fresh lavender and sharing it with neighbors. Making flower arrangements with my hydrangea's and rose's. Getting out my loping shears and trimming all of my plants that needed trimming. Visiting with the twin boys next door and baking or taking food that I made over to them. I will miss the harvesting of the grape vineyards at the end of Summer. All you had to do was drive slowly on the road and when the wind was just right it smelled like fresh grape juice, the grapes were so ripe and ready to be picked.

I really was not nostalgic or yearning for home until I called places today on the phone. When I was home for a visit many weeks ago I knew I had to go back to my new home now but part of me wanted to stay there. Even though I now have no home there to go to. It is kind of sad isn't it? You can say yes to that for as I am writing this I have tears in my eyes. The hardest thing of all is leaving behind one of my grown children that still lives there. I miss being able to cook or bake or fold laundry or even vacuum their room for them. Know what I missed the most? When my children would have a birthday I would always get up early and decorate with crepe paper and put the lace birthday tablecloth on the table for them. I bought it when they were much younger and would bring it out for their birthday's. Even when my other child that lives out of state now, would come home for a visit I would do the same. Neither one of my children are breakfast people but I would always make mish-mosh for them and make them get up and eat breakfast. I did not care if they went back to bed after they ate but they had to come eat first. You may wonder what mish-mosh is. I would  boil a few potatoes and cube them, then I would saute in butter onions, bacon, sausage, peppers or mushrooms and then beat a few eggs and blend it all together and then grated cheese would melt on top. I would also drag them out of bed if I made Belgian waffles too or pancakes with mini chocolate chips.  They also liked when I would make raspberry muffins and I would add mini chocolate chips to them. I miss grilling too. I miss the Amish bulk store and a great TJ Maxx I would visit too, they had the best jewelry selection of Israel designers. The jewelry designers from Israel are so talented. Oh well, I had my moment of nostalgia now back to reality. I am very much so at peace where I live now and I am most safe. I attend a loving church that the heart of the pastor is truly for people. I love that no matter where I seem to drive I can see mountains in the distance. I love being able to drive to the mountains and breathing in that air and the smell of pine is truly wonderful. I love walking outside when most areas in the country have snow or ice. Family that are so loving and kind and generous surround me. I discovered a new store that I really like a lot, Ross Dress For Less. Think of TJ Maxx but at a much better price point. I have seen some items at Ross at a much better price than what you would pay at TJ Maxx. I love that I am now 44 pounds lighter than I was in 2005 and 35 of that was lost since 2009 and 20 of that was lost in the last year. I am enjoying dressing up and I will be back at doing a few video blogs too. I think God has put inside of me that I enjoy creating the videos and sharing my heart with you all. I do not have anyone else apply my make-up or do my hair or coordinate my outfits, I do all of that. Correction, Holy Spirit prompts me what to wear and even what make-up to put on that day too. If you allow Him to be a part of your life He will. You do not shut out a friend do you? Then why would you only seek out Holy Spirit because you want something from Him? He is a friend and a dear friend to me. I love His gentle nudges to go here; do this; say that. I am most thankful that Jesus gave us the comforter when He ascended into heaven. I am most thankful that He also endued us with power when I was filled with the Holy Spirit. When I pray in the spirit at times for others He knows what they have need of in their life far greater than I could even attempt to guess at it. Do not be afraid of Holy Spirit for He is most gentle and compassionate and loving too. The best place to be is when a person prays for you on your behalf when they pray in the spirit. That is God praying through you for them. Rest in Holy Spirit this night or day and let Him direct your steps also. 

"Warnings About False Teachers"

It was yesterday that  I was stirred in my spirit by Holy Spirit to share this scripture with you. I became a bit distracted and caught up in trying to help another that I neglected to do what was placed upon my heart to do. Do not let distractions take precedent over Holy Spirit calling you OK. It is so very easy to step out in faith to be the knight in shining armor for another but do not do to it at the expense of others. Does that make sense? When it is God there will always be enough room made in the day to accomplish it all. Not neglecting one for the other. I apologize if you were suppose to hear these words yesterday and you were seeking a word from the Lord and it was delayed a day. My heartfelt apology I do offer to you. This so stirred within me when I read this that I am going to type it all out for you. It comes from God's Word Bible translation 2 Peter 2: 1-22:
"False prophets were among God's people, in the past, as false teachers will be among you. They will secretly bring in their own destructive teachings. They will deny the Lord, who has bought them, and they will bring themselves swift destruction. Many people will follow them in their sexual freedom and will cause others to dishonor the way of truth. In their greed they will use good-sounding arguments to exploit you. The verdict against them from long ago is still in force, and their destruction is not asleep.
God didn't spare angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, where he has secured them with chains of darkness and is holding them for judgment.
God didn't spare the ancient world either. He brought the flood on the world of ungodly people, but he protected Noah and seven other people. Noah was his messenger who told people about the kind of life that has God's approval.
God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and destroyed them by burning them to ashes. He made those cities an example to ungodly people of what is going to happen to them. Yet, God rescued Lot, a man who had his approval. Lot was distressed by the lifestyle of people who had no principles and lived in sexual freedom. Although he was a man who had God's approval, he lived among the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Each day was like torture to him as he saw and heard the immoral things that people did.
Since the Lord did all this, he knows how to rescue godly people when they are tested. He also knows how to hold immoral people in punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow their corrupt nature along the path of impure desires and who despise the Lord's authority.
These false teachers are bold and arrogant.They aren't afraid to insult the Lord's glory. Angels, who have more strength and power than these teachers, don't bring an insulting judgment against them from the Lord. These false teachers insult what they don't understand. They are like animals, which are creatures of instinct that are born to be caught and killed. So they will be destroyed like animals and lose what their wrongdoing earned them.
These false teachers are stains and blemishes. They take pleasure in holding wild parties in broad daylight. They especially enjoy deceiving you while they eat with you. They're always looking for an adulterous woman. They can't stop looking for sin as they seduce people who aren't sure of what they believe. Their minds are focused on their greed. They are cursed.
These false teachers have left the straight path and wandered off to follow the path of Balaam, son of Beor. Balaam loved what his wrongdoing earned him. But he was convicted of evil. A donkey, which normally can't talk, spoke with a human voice and wouldn't allow the prophet to continue his insanity.
These false teachers are dried-up springs. They are a mist blown around by a storm. Gloomy darkness has been kept for them. They arrogantly use nonsense to seduce people by appealing to their sexual desires, especially to sexual freedom. They seduce people who have just escaped from those who live in error. They promise these people freedom, but they themselves are slaves to corruption. A person is a slave to whatever he gives in to.
People can know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and escape the world's filth. But if they get involved in this filth again and give in to it, they are worse off than they were before. It would have been better for them never to have known the way of life that God approves of than to know it and turn their backs on the holy life God told them to live. These proverbs have come true for them: "A dog goes back to its vomit," and "A sow that has been washed goes back to roll around in the mud."
My apology again for not sharing this with you yesterday. You see, I am continually learning myself on a daily, even an hourly basis to be obedient and follow through with Holy Spirit direction. Be at peace this very night or day and trust Holy Spirit, He will show you the false teachers to keep away from. If you ask Him He will give you the strength to break away from them and show you a path to escape from them and take you far away from them and their false teachings. So many are being deceived in this very day in which we live in. Even the elect are being deceived. How much more stronger must we seek the voice of Holy Spirit to direct our path if the very elect are being deceived. If you have fallen in your walk with the Lord ask Him to forgive you and to start you off on the right path with the right group of people to gather around you. There really are very sound teachers out there teaching the word of God and not creating some false doctrine to cause you to get sucked in with the ultimate fall that could cost you your walk with Jesus. If you are blessed with discernment of spirits then ask Holy Spirit to let it kick in even stronger than before. Never be afraid to call the false teacher's bluff and reveal it. Expose the enemy and he will have to retreat. If you allow the enemy to torture your mind then you are making the conscience decision to allow this and you cannot say that you were not warned. Why would you settle for vomit or a roll around in the mud when God has greater plans for your life...to be with Him in heaven for all eternity. I would venture to guess that Noah and his family were most thankful that they followed the voice of the Lord and were spared from total destruction. As the mighty waves filled the land and the destruction was consuming the lives in the flood do you think that maybe one or two people possibly thought in their mind as death was upon them that maybe they should not have mocked Noah or God and turned from their wicked ways and lifestyle?

What Do You Think These Are & What Do You Think Their Purpose Is?

Did you guess what they are and what's their purpose? I was on a little journey the other day and I found fresh eucalyptus. I have made these before and if you do not have fresh eucalyptus on hand it is OK to use dried eucalyptus, that you can purchase at a craft store. Did you know that eucalpytus grows in Ethiopia? I did not know that until I offered to break off a piece of it and give it to the check out clerk. She told me that she is from Ethiopia and all kinds of varieties grow there. She thanked me for giving her a piece. You see, when you follow Holy Spirit's lead He will direct your path and even your words. A simple piece of fresh euclapyptus given to another just may have brought sweet memories of growing up there. Never miss an opportunity to share with others. It costs you nothing at times just your time and willingness to share what you have...be it words or your goods. I made eucalyptus wreaths or swags, whatever you would like to call them. They are very good as aromatherapy if you should awake with or have a sinus headache. You secure the eucalyptus with ribbon and tie it then you create a loop big enough to allow you to let it fit around a shower head (it will hang from the shower head) and then secure it by tying it to the first knot tied. The purpose is that it opens up your sinus passages as the fragrance from the eucalyptus mixes with the steam from a shower. It makes the entire room smell wonderful too.
I went on a drive and it is amazing what one can find if you only open your eyes when on a journey. I knew when I saw this gasoline sign that it had to be an older sign . It was obvious that this gas station is not operating currently. Do you even remember when gasoline was at this price?

It truly is amazing what one will find when on a journey. I happened to find this on a drive one day. Obviously, there are people that enjoy the comforts of living but choosing to live or rest on a houseboat. I would say that this size would make a stay on the water quite comfortable what do you think?

I guess I am sharing a bit of this & that with you to let you know that it is OK to enjoy taking a ride now and then. Life can be so serious at times that it is good to just go somewhere with not having an agenda. Correction, you may need to have an agenda in order to get you out of the house and on the road. Just learn to enjoy the scenery while driving and be open to taking a wrong turn now and then for that wrong turn just may end up being a right turn for you. Does that make sense? RELAX once and a while it is good for you.

Barbra Streisand & Il Divo "Somewhere"

Just Before Viewing This, Holy Spirit Had Me Read 1 Kings 13; Eileen Fisher: Grace and the Battle for Truth

Eileen Fisher: Grace and the Battle for Truth
Before I went to this site and read the prophetic message I was prompted to read 1Kings 13 and a portion of 14 also. This goes to show you that even one prophet against another can cause the one prophet to doubt the word of the Lord and disobey the word given in instruction to follow through with. How many of you have had a word from the Lord in direction in your life or to do or not do something? I am going to share with you the scripture I am referencing. Here is the scenario...a prophet brings forth a word form the Lord it is fulfilled and the king invites the prophet to come home with him, have something to eat and he was going to give him a gift. The prophet replied that even if the king gave him half of his palace he would never to with him to eat or drink. He shared that when the Lord spoke to him he commanded him to not eat or drink or back on the same road he took. The prophet left on another road and did not go back on the road he had taken. He was honoring the word of God that He commanded of him and was doing fine so far until an old prophet in Bethel heard through his sons about what the prophet did in Bethel that day and the exact words he shared with the king also. The old prophet was now on a mission of his own, to find this prophet, and that he did. He found him sitting under a tree and asked him if he was the man of God who came from Judah. The prophet responded yes to him. The old prophet then bid him to come home with him and eat a meal. The prophet told him he was not allowed to go back with him or eat and drink with him either. The old prophet then lied to him and told him that he was also a prophet like him and that an angel spoke the word of the Lord to him and told him to bring him back home so he may have something to eat and drink. In my bible it states that the old prophet was lying. The prophet went back with the old prophet and ate and drank in his home. When they were at the table the Lord spoke his word to the old prophet to speak to the prophet. This is what he spoke, "You rebelled against the words from the Lord's mouth and didn't obey the command that the Lord your God gave you. You came back, ate, and drank at this place about which he told you. 'Don't eat or drink there.' That is why your dead body will not be allowed to be placed in the tomb of your ancestors."
After the old prophet had something to eat and drink he then saddled up the donkey for the prophet that he brought home with him. The prophet left and a lion found him as he was traveling on the road and killed him. His body was thrown on the road and the lion and the donkey were standing by the body. People that passed by saw the body and the lion and donkey standing next to the body. They talked about it in the city where the old prophet lived. The old prophet heard about it and said this, "It's the man of God who rebelled against the words from the Lord's mouth! The Lord gave him to the lion. It tore him to pieces and killed him as the word of the Lord had told him." He went on his donkey and found the body of the man thrown on the road. He also found the lion and donkey standing beside it and the lion had not eaten the body and it did not tear the donkey to pieces either. The old prophet picked up the body and placed it on the donkey and brought it back. He laid the body of the prophet in his own tomb and mourned over the man. After he buried the man of God he told his sons that when he died to bury him in the tomb where the prophet was buried. To lay his bones beside his bones. He stated this, "The things that he announced by a command of the Lord against the altar of Bethel and all the illegal worship sites in the cities of Samaria will happen."
Verse 33 states this, "Even after this, Jeroboam didn't change his evil ways, but he once again made some men priests for the illegal worship sites. Appointing illegal priests became the sin of Jeroboam's family so that it had to be destroyed and wiped off the face of the earth."
Let me share with you what has been happening with me in my life. I have found that I have been prejudiced against on a few occasions. Yes, Caucasian people can also be prejudiced against by people of another race other than their own. Not one race can claim that they are the only one to be prejudiced against. For it happens far more that you may care to believe and it happens across many different races. I had a choice to complain and state my case but read the word of the Lord spoken through Eileen Fisher. When I read it it only confirmed to me that I am to do nothing in reference to this. The Lord will take care of this and it will be His judgement and not my feeble words or thoughts written on paper expressing what happened to me. You see, it is much better to obey the instruction of Holy Spirit than wanting to take the matter into your own hands. You saw what happened to the prophet that did not obey the word of the Lord, death came to him. I am not saying that death will come to one that does not obey but it is a great example to strengthen you and follow the lead of the Lord and do not fall. There is no greater place to be than in the palm of His hand and let Him defend you. He will defend you. Just rest in Him and continue on with the life that He calls you to live.
In the natural one may want to lash out and say, "Hey what about me, that was an injustice done to me. I want someone to do something about this." Remember, that is just your flesh wanting to rise up and keep it under submission OK. If you can control your flesh in situations like this then how much greater can the hand of God move on your behalf in your life. Do not look at the moment look at the bigger picture and pray for those people that may have done wrong to you. Remember, Jesus shed His blood and died for them too. He wishes that not one would perish in hell for eternity. When you look at it in that light it sure does bring you back into reality doesn't it? Yes, it does. Pray that the truth and light of Jesus Christ comes into their hearts and lives. It is better to pray for those that persecute you. Think of it like this...one day that person that did wrong to you may have changed their heart over time and you are now in a situation in which they will be placed before you and you are now the one to affect their very life. Remember Joseph? His brother's did him wrong in a mighty way didn't they? He then came across their path years later and throughout the years he grew in wisdom. He was not revealed to them until the timing was just right. What they meant as evil toward him turned out to be a blessing. He was raised up to be high up in the chain of command and they were all gathered in the end and spent quality time together. The day may come and that person is seated right before you and they may not even remember you but you remembered them. It may be hidden and then Holy Spirit brings it to your remembrance and while they are seated there before you He may even cause them to begin to wonder in their mind...I think I know this person. He can bring remembrance to anyone at any time. Then the choice will be placed in your lap. Will you seek revenge or will you extend mercy to them just like Jesus gives us His mercies that are new every day. Pass the test and see the greatness God has in store just for you, yes, just for you.

HALLMARKS OF A GREAT DAD, Feel Led To Share Today's Daily Devotional WIth You

Today I am going to share with you my daily devotional reading. It is taken from"365 Days of Spiritual Growth and Empowerment Connect With God Volume II" by Jentezen Franklin:
The glory of children is their father. Proverbs 17:6 NKJV
Boswell the famous biographer tells of a day when his dad took him fishing. Later when he read what his father had written in his journal that day, he found only one sentence: "Today went fishing with my son; a day wasted!" Boswell was devastated! Solomon says, "The glory of children is their father" (Pr 17:6 NKJV), and here are six hallmarks of a great one:
(1) He protects: He guards his children physically when they're young, and emotionally as they mature. He teaches his sons to respect girls, and interviews the guys who date his daughter. (2) He listens: Unlike the kid who told his mom, "I'm gonna be just like Dad when I grow up. My eyebrows are already growing together, and when people talk to me I don't listen!" Listening builds a lifelong bridge to your child's heart. (3) He's affectionate: Nothing communicates security and worth to your kids like holding them. If you grew up without it, make sure they don't. (4) He disciplines: He doesn't just discipline, he models self-discipline. (5) He's fun: He's not so preoccupied that he's a drag to be around. Remember, "A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance" (Pr 15:13), so don't be afraid to show your kids your lighter side! (6) He "walks the walk:" Converted atheist, Lee Strobel, says, "When I became a Christian my five-year-old daughter said, 'Mommy I want God to do for me what he's done for Daddy,' and she gave her life to Jesus." When you walk the walk before your kids it changes everything."

Every Time I Hear This Song, All I Can Say Is That It Is Just Beautiful; Rick Pino - "Dove's Eyes"

I woke up today to the radio alarm, which is set to a Christian radio station. They do a monthly telethon to raise finances to stay on the air. They will be celebrating 30 years on the air in a few short months. I just love the fact that they play worship and off the beat Christian music not just Top 40 Christian songs. When they do their monthly events they always invite in to the studio local ministries to share with the listening audience and live worship bands throughout the area and they minister right there for all the listening audience to hear and worship with. Today, this is the song that I heard being done live at the studio. It was not being sung by this artist but that does not matter. It is the faith and heart of the worshiper that penned and worshipped the Lord. Seek the Lord today while He can be found. Love the Lord today while He can be loved. Yield to the Lord today while He can be yielded to. One more thing...Be blessed today too.
