The Evil of Two and the Love of One

Evil takes two people to come to be. One to entertain the evil mind, and one to allow it to come to pass. Everyone has evil possibilities. In fact to God, everyone has evil in them, meaning everyone is capable of evil. To God, lying is evil, smoking is evil, cheating is evil, goading another to anger is evil. Quite honestly, everyone has committed at least one evil, and in every instance, someone else allowed it to happen. The evil of two.

Evil cannot work alone and be successful. God has the power and might to be able to overcome ALL things on His own. Gee, I wonder which is more powerful.....Yes, that was rhetorical. I am snarky like that sometimes. This all powerful being, God, gave us freewill to choose the direction our journeys  should take. Why would God, who is all powerful and could simply will us into submission, allow us to choose?

God is Love. Love encompasses all things. Love overcomes all things, and in Love is freedom. God doesn't want people, His masterpiece, to return His love out of obligation. Instead, He wants us to choose to come to Him on our own; out of our own needs, out of our own desires, out of our own willfully chosen devotion. That's true devotion. He's so devoted to us, that He's willing to allow us to choose to follow other than Him. He KNOWS few will follow and many will turn away, but still He allows it. I heard that the true measure of a man's integrity is in how he treats those who can do nothing to help him. I think that's a bit skewed....to me a true measure of man's integrity is in how we treat enemies. Do we hate them or love them as God loved us before we knew Him. Our thoughts become actions, and our actions define our integrity, so choose wisely.

Talk to your creator, however He is known to you. If you're unsure, ask Him and He will show Himself to you in a way you can see. Show an enemy love....(it really shakes 'em up and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside), But most of all......GO BE PHYSICAL TODAY!!! Tomorrow never comes.......
Peace!!

You Can Never Go Home

Image
Whoever said, "you can never go home again" was wrong. Maybe they just don't have the amazing system of family and friends, which I have. Whatever the reason, they are just wrong. After living in South Carolina for eight years, I came back to my  hometown  for the summer. My family and friends have made me feel so loved, and shown me so much warmth and support, I am almost overwhelmed. With most, it was like no time had even passed, and with others, catching up has been filled with laughs and giggles and a few very late nights at the bon fire. No one has made me feel like I no longer belong, although a few jokes about my blood being thinner and not being able to take the cooler temperatures here, were made at my expense. Of course I give the ribbing as well as I receive it. A few bald jokes, a few burnt biscuit jokes and a couple barefoot and pregnant jokes were shared by me as well. A LOT of laughs have been shared, and a few tears also shared, during this summer of heal

Three Simple Words

Image
I Love You. Three very powerful words. My husband surprised me this morning by sending me a text with those three simple words. It made my day, and I loved it so much that I saved that text. I am often amazed at how such a simple phrase can change the course of a day. Words have power. They have meaning. They can change a day for the better...or for the worst. The word in the middle, love, reveals two choices he made this morning. One, he chose to love me still today. Two, he chose to tell me this. All his choices for the rest of the day, concerning me, will reflect those two choices he made this morning. The reason I believe Love is a choice is that God IS love. (1John 4:8) If we have to choose God, then we have to choose Love. Pretty simple reason, really. Another word for God is Lord-another powerful word, meaning strength to me. People run to the Lord when they fall. They run to that word like a tower in a storm. (proverbs 18:10) With God I cannot fail. With the Lord, I cannot be

What a Day!!!!!

Image
SO my big plans of grandure have hit a snag. It's funny, I envision this great plan of eating healthier, drinking the water I need and doing my physical exercises in hopes of keeping my pain down and healing my spine. In actuality, my physical therapy exercises have put me in excrutiating pain today. I wish I knew what I did to set this off, but honestly, I am not sure. All I know right now is I hurt like hell for no reason. It gets old to hurt so often and so easily; just a wrong step or bending too far will cause my pain to increase for days to weeks, and it makes no sense. My doctor says it's normal and will only get worse, but I cannot accept this path for my life, can I? It says in the Bible that faith the size of mustard seed can move mountains. It also says things like "when God is for us what can be against us? and I can do all things with Christ who strengthens me." I truly believe these words, but on days like today my faith is REALLY tested!! I cling to the
