Why I wake up early

Have you ever ruled the house, I mean really rule the house, drink columbian coffee with your mom, and finish your unfinished math homework all before 6:45AM ? This is what I get to do every single morning, while other kids sleep like a rock till 8:15AM.

The way I mean, rule the house is like I'm practicly the only person there. However my dad is sleeping when I rule the house. Shhh don't tell! My sister is at school and my mom is off to work at 6:30AM. In the morning before I go to school I play runescape on the computer, watch Drake and Josh, and play counterstrike on the Xbox.

Every single morning of the week I drink columbian coffee with my mom. When my coffee isn't so hot I finish it in about 10 seconds. But on the other hand if my coffee is burning hot I finish it in about two minutes. While my mom and I have a delightful time driking coffee, we talk about my grades in school, I tell her my test scores.

When my math homework is incomplete I usually finish it in the morning. My math homework is usually done by 6:45AM. If it's not by then, I finish it by 7:00AM. If I have any other homework, I also do it.

These are just some of the reasons why waking up early get's my disposition up to trilled. I rule the house, drink columbian coffee with my mom and fisish my unfinished math homework. These are some of the reasons I suggest you to wake up early in the morning. Another suggestion for you is that if you wake up early is never try to jump over your couch. It leaves you on the floor saying ouch !!!

Colossians 4:2

The Ripple Effect

As the rain and snow come down from heaven
and stay upon the ground to water the earth,
and cause the grain to grow and to produce seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry , so also is my Word.
I sent it out and it always produces fruit.

It shall accomplish all I want it to, and prosper everywhere I send it.

Isaiah 55:10-11, tlb

My baby that ain't no baby any longer...

I can't believe this....

Eye feels funny, it seems as though my uveites might be coming back related to my Ankylosing Spondilitis. So I rush to the oftalmologist to check things out because I do not want to go through what I went through before. Only arrive there and get the news that I have cataracts at this age and that in the right eye I am legaly blind can you believe that or what. Oh well I guess i just have to live with it, going to surgery in two weeks to see what can be done to make it right. It's like what is next.....

II Corinthians 4

16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

They are my....

Take a guess who these two cutie pies are ?

Wow, we made it....

We are in our new house. We have moved in. With loads of help from the movers. From friends. From brothers and sisters in Christ from Church. Our thanks to all for all the tons of help we received from everybody. I must confess I was dead beat by saturday night when I finally went to bed. But relieved that all was in the house. Now it's the organizing getting everything out of boxes. Tossing what we don't need and giving and sharing some things with others, what we don't need it's time to clean up also. Wife is happy with the new house and will all her new furniture and decorations. Now we just need some time to get everything into it's place. Thanks ... Thanks... Thanks...

I am not ashamed of the gospel

"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the POWER of God for the salvation of everyone who believes..." (Rom. 1:16)

Verse of the Day

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5/NIV

End of the Spear

A must see. Be sure to take some tissue paper with you because you will shead some tears and you will chocke up at times. The question I ask is what are we waiting for there are some many in need to hear the good news of the gospel, why are we holding back, christians are not doing there duty of sharing there faith with others that have not heard the good news. We need to wake up people we need to share our faith. We need to live by example. This Sunday Morning is not going to cut it, we need a deeper commitment from all of those who have believed. We need to make ever bigger sacrifices in order to have time to not only worship the Lord but also carry out his orders and His good news !!!

Verse of the Day

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
James 1:2-3/NIV

Thought... "Hang in there!" There are few traits more important than perseverance. Most important accomplishments in life happen because of perseverance. Most "luck" occurs when we've persevered long enough for the "magical moment" to come along -- in other words, I don't believe in luck. Edison said it best: life's greatest feats, the world's greatest discoveries, his own most fantastic inventions are "1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." "Hang in there!" and see the glory of God come through in you, not because of luck, but because of God's grace, love, and Providence!
Prayer... Unchangeable and Unshakeable God, through the friends you have sent into my life and by the power of your gift, the Holy Spirit, help me to stand up under trial and prove my character true with perseverance when under fire. Give my faith courage and endurance so that my life shows forth your enduring strength. I pray in the name of him who remained faithful even unto death, Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
