Wonderful one I love, wonderful one I adore, wonderful one my heart will sing.

One thing that really does my heart good is watching families spend time together.  Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas seem to be the only times that families put most things aside to spend time together.  Working the campground for the 2nd summer season has been incredible to watch families interact without the cells, the computers going, video games and kids actually playing outside.  So many were at the pool, out in our "big backyard" and everyone I talked with prior to coming I mentioned bringing their bikes so they could play together and many brought them.  It was incredible!  The downside to all the people, Mary-the dog, doesn't like lots of people and struggled in her "big brave dog" attitude.  Steve on the other hand has the gift of visiting and loved on so many throughout the weekend and he loves it!  He really loves that part of his job.  He has never got paid to visit, p/u the trash - to real...

Psalm 107 - Scripture is powerful and when we walk in it and live it, it becomes us.

Psalm 107 Thanksgiving to the LORD for His Great Works of Deliverance   1 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!          For His mercy endures forever.   2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,          Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,   3 And gathered out of the lands,          From the east and from the west,          From the north and from the south.            4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way;          They found no city to dwell in.   5 Hungry and thirsty,          Their soul fainted in them.   6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,        ...

I wonder where I wander and wonder how did I get there!

It's been a year since I left the church in Omaha.  It hasn't always been an easy leave.  Many time, so many times, I really miss it.  I miss the kids, the parents, the people at the church and the fun.  It never was about the pay, it was about God's Word being instilled in the kids and their families.  It was about kids knowing, loving, and serving Jesus. Working in registrations at the KOA's is pretty easy and most of the time it's really interesting but I sure miss being with the kids. What I wonder many times is: is God going to put me back into this type of ministry again?  I don't really think too much about why God called us out, I really don't. We were obedient to what the Lord called us out to do.  We were blessed by Pastor Darrell at the Bay Area Vineyard church and his band of servants, we were blessed to attend the Bay of the Holy Spirit Revival and grow in our faith in both places.  We were blessed to get to know...

Pentecost and Shavuot are coming in soon. Read all about it and see if you learn something new.

I love Jews for Jesus.  The work they do is inspiring and real.  The work in Israel is important and key to the coming of the Lord.  It's really going to happen and it could be in our life time.  Are you ready?  Pentecost is June 12th Pentecost- what does that mean?  Borrowed from Jews for Jesus.org How Much Does Pentecost?* by David Brickner May 16, 2009 Pentecost. Is it a denomination? A supernatural experience? A date on a liturgical church calendar? Perhaps it is the surname of a beloved Bible scholar? Actually, Pentecost is first and foremost one of the most important and least appreciated Jewish festivals in the Bible. And since it is coming up in just a couple of weeks, June 7th, I think it would be helpful for RealTime readers to become better acquainted with this Feast of the Lord. The Hebrew Bible gives three names for this holiday; each is significant because each reminds us of a truth God wants us to understand. Pentecost is b...

NEW DISCOVERIES and More!

We have made it to Lake Conroe, TX!  This has been incredibly wonderful but so skeery as to the "job" involved.  We are working for a Corporate KOA Park. They are run a little differently but they are fun to work in.  We have many coming in on weekends and it seems to be a really fun busy park.  You can even fish with a catch and release here!         It's a beautiful place! We really enjoy meeting lots of people!  We attended church on Sunday, as the "boss" said we could!  It was a lot of fun!  Life is so interesting.  I could say that I need more time in my day and I used to.  But I don't anymore.  Cave dwelling has been our past days.  "Cave Dwelling is sitting within your own thoughts or hiding in bed with the covers over your head and you never want to face others."  I wouldn't say it is necessarily depression, it's just staying away and hoping that something will chang...

Dreams and visions

Image
"I have a dream" from Martin Luther King Jr. is a speech that lives on and on and will forever.  This dream forever changed the nation we live in and continues to change it.  However, we need to be careful of whom we hear it from because many have used this speech and turned it into their own agenda and have contaminated what the original dream was and is.  What have you always dreamt of doing but never did it?  What invention or thing did you want so badly but no one believed in you enough for you to do it the way you wanted to?  Here are some big dreamers I know of, through story telling:  Bill Gates, Apple, Big ministries that are strong and following the dream when they first started out with.  What is it that you absolutely love doing that you can't imagine your life without it?  Yep, having kids counts.  When the kids began to grow, I loved homeschooling, I loved having my kids home!  It was the greatest joy of my life. ...

Grace and love

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) Chorus 1 My chains are gone I've been set free My God my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy reigns Unending love amazing grace Verse 1 Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I'm found Was blind but now I see Verse 2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed Verse 3 The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures Verse 4 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow The sun forbear to shine But God who called me here below Will be forever mine Will be forever mine You are forever mine CCLI Song No. 4768151 © 2006 worshiptogether.com songs | sixsteps Music | Vamos Publishing (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing) | (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing) | (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publis...

Have you ever wondered?

When I first started at my last church, Group Publishing started using the Holyland experience, I was so excited!  The first year we went to Galilee-by-the-sea and saw how Jesus called the disciples and tried fish and figs.  The next year we were off to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, Steve and I were Rabbi's with such fun times!  We wore the Tallit but did not know the whole story about it.  So, since I needed to find out again, I wanted to share it with you. n Numbers 15:38-40 it says: Understanding the Tallit I n Numbers 15:38-40 it says: Understanding the Tallit 38 "Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. 39 And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, 40...
