Just a little humour today…

WHO DOES WHAT

A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, ‘You should do it, because you get up first,
and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee.’
The husband said, ‘ You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.’
Wife replies, ‘No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible
that the man should do the coffee.’
Husband replies, ‘I can’t believe that, show me.’
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says……….’HEBREWS’

Twitter test…

This is just a test to see if this new application feature with WordPress actually works. The trouble is I have my Facebook account linked to get my posts from WordPress and my twitter account to post things to Facebook. So, I am not really sure if this post will post once or twice to Facebook…

So if this posts twice I have to disable the WordPress to Facebook thing… which for the life of me I cannot remember how I set it up in the first place!!! Oh dear, this could take hours for me to get things to run smoothly.

Wish me luck!

Skeleton Tree

Skeleton tree against the blue and pink…

What secrets does the night time keep

Time flies by, as you stand still

Birds they sing, their nigh time shrill

Skeleton tree against the blue and pink…

Tell me your tales and what you think

Just pretty – Because I can!

Mat 6:28  And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies in the field and how they grow. They don’t work or spin yarn,
Mat 6:29  but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.
Mat 6:30  Now if that is the way God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and thrown into an oven tomorrow, won’t he clothe you much better-you who have little faith?
Mat 6:31  "So don’t ever worry by saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’
Mat 6:32  For it is the gentiles who are eager for all those things. Surely your heavenly Father knows that you need all of them!
Mat 6:33  But first be concerned about God’s kingdom and his righteousness, and all of these things will be provided for you as well.
Mat 6:34  So never worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

A little prayer for my baby Grandson Oliver…

 

Oh Oliver, let’s go down…

 down to the river and pray.

 That this old life gets washed away…

 wash it away.

Rom 6:4  We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

Wondrous love, my window

I sit at the window.

running through the times

round and round they go.

pitter pat droplets run

make a race, which one will fall.

dampness all around

the wind it howls…

 

Bellowing through my window.

around the trees

the leaves do blow.

dance the dance

round and round it goes.

the grass it bends to and fro

droplets fly

crystal diamonds in the sky.

wispy darkness

mystery night…

 

Darkness through my window.

oceans heave

enticing first time maidens.

surface tensions

upon the shore.

tempest comes

I shake in waiting…

 

my wondrous love, my window.

Just joined a group on facebook – it made me think…

“STOP Animal Cruelty…

Their positions are:

1. Animals have the right to life
2. Animals cannot protect themselves against us, it is our duty to protect them
3. Animals are an important part in our life development
4. Take a stand for the innocent lives who can’t
5. Saving the planet, one animal at a time

Yes, it is a good cause. But why doesn’t the larger society apply these very same positions to the millions of babies in the womb that have no choice about what their mother will do ?

Let’s just replace the word “animals” with the words “unborn babies” shall we…

1. Unborn babies have the right to life
2. Unborn babies cannot protect themselves against us, it is our duty to protect them
3. Unborn babies are an important part in our life development
4. Take a stand for the innocent lives who can’t
5. Saving the planet, one unborn baby at a time

Just putting it out there!

Honest Scrap Award

I have been tagged in the “Honest Scrap Award” by Peter from the “Beauty of the Bible” blog. Which by the way is a very interesting blog!

The rules are simple, reveal 10 honest things about yourself and tag seven bloggers to do the same.

So… here are my ten…

1. When I am put on the spot — like now — I can’t think. So, it stands to reason that I am really bad at tests and actually fear them, I think I am bordering on phobic.
2. When I laugh hysterically I sound like a turkey and snort like a pig, very flattering I know. And yes … everyone around thinks it’s funny too.
3. The first time my hubby and I met, he told his friends to remind him to never marry someone like me.
4. I was a real rough girl when I was young. I use to beat up my brothers. I even made one of my brothers eat a spider. He lived to tell the tale, much to my dismay.
5. I have a real phobia of spiders, I really don’t understand why God made those creatures. Yet, I don’t want anyone to squash them, that is part of my phobia, the squash part… it’s gross, I always want them set free.
6. I love Star Trek, and I think that makes me a nerd.
7. I am addicted to drinking Bi-Carb soda in water before I go to bed. It collects all of the little burps in my tummy into one BIG burp and is fantastic for indigestion which I suffer with badly. Hubby hates it!
8. I love to embarrass my teenage kids. HA!!! I have just done that by going outside to see if my youngest daughter and her friend were still waiting for the bus. They were too busy chatting to realise the bus was coming. The bus was going to drive past them, but I hailed it down with my dressing gown on and really bad bed hair waving at the driver like a mad woman. My youngest hung her head in shame. Priceless. She will never get over that.
9. Sometimes I get the urge to dance around in my backgarden with my mp3 playing on a clear, warm summers night all by myself. In fact I have done that! In fact, my hubby and daughter have caught me out — just one time — doing that, they thought I had lost the plot!
10. I have to sleep with earplugs in. Inititally it was to drown out hubby’s snoring, now I just love no noise at all and have gotten use to sleeping that way.

Keys…

Keys

their fingers reach out

to find truth hidden

that hidden treasure of old

scribes write of such things.

Bring out the old to us the new

that treasure which does not rust is found.

rejoice – a new created

the ancient of days smiles

the angels sing

can you hear

can you hear them?

It’s been awhile since I have written anything that resembled poetry. But here you go. My attempt for the day. Thanks must go to Lorrie from Grow up Deep for inspiring me today. RAP poetry is an acronym for Random Act of Poetry. Give it a shot!

Update on Jacob Prasch…

On behalf of Jacob Prasch,  Moriel thanks our readers and friends for the absolute avalanche of prayers and best wishes we have received for Jacob Prasch who has been cleared to return to Britain for further treatment and recuperation after narrowly averting what his physicians say would likely have been a fatal stroke had he boarded the plane in Cape Town for Asia as scheduled. We attribute Jacob noticing the phlebitis in is ankle and the presence of his friend Dr. Hilda Podlas (a Jewish medical specialist consultant who came to faith through Jacob’s tapes with her husband) at a preaching engagement in Cape Town as divine intervention.

He is released from hospital, the phlebitis reveals no thrombosis, blood pressure is under control with medication, but he remains in persistent cardiac fibrillation with arrhythmia and a marginally enlarged heart requiring  on going treatment in the UK.  Continuing prayer is much valued. We thank God a massive stroke was prevented and there was no heart attack.

This news just in…

Jacob Prasch Asia, Australia, and New Zealand Itinerary Cancelled

JUNE 22ND, 2009

Jacob Prasch has been released from hospital in Cape Town, South Africa after two days to where he was rushed.  He must return for further tests and be medevaced back to the UK for further treatment by a British cardiologist once his arterial fibrillation is stabilized and he is deemed able to fly.

Fortunately the x rays and scans indicate phlebitis does not contain a thrombosis and there is no permanent heart damage, but the heart s marginally enlarged and the fibrillation, while now under control, continues.

His condition was uncontrolled hypertension with arterial fibrillation. A stroke was narrowly averted. Had h flow to Bangkok via Nairobi as scheduled his physicians doubt he would escaped a likely fatal stoke mid air on a long intercontinental flight.

Fortunately noticing the symptoms of phlebitis in his ankles he consulted with his friend Dr. Hilda Podlas who rushed him to hospital immediately. The condition appears to have been precipitated from the cumulative effect of apnea and renal side effects of medication he is required to take for his neck injury. The cardiologists report that contributing factors are matters of life style, especially a grueling work-travel schedule. He has been ordered to cancel all long air flights and speaking engagements for at least one month when his condition will be reassessed. Moriel has thus been compelled to cancel all Jacob Prasch speaking engagements until the end of July.

On Jacob’s behalf we profoundly apologize to those in Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand expecting to attend Jacob’s meetings. On behalf of Jacob also we express our sincere gratitude for your prayers at this time when Danny Isom was also hospitalized with kidney failure.

The cardiologist used the term “Divine Intervention”. Both specialists agreed that has Jacob gone to Asia as scheduled he would have suffered a very serious stroke and quite likely would not have survived. We see this as God’s intervention that Jacob noticed the discoloration in his ankles and that Dr. Podlas (a Jewish neuro radiologist who came to faith through Jacob’s ministry) happened to attend the church meeting where Jacob was speaking at the Reformed Evangelical Church in Cape Town.

Again, we sincerely regret the forced necessity of the cancelled events and praise The Lord for His Providence and the prayers and good wishes of His people.

A new religion masquerading as Christianity By Marsha West

When I read what was written by Marsha West I was reminded of the verse…

1Co 2:14  and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them , because spiritually they are discerned

The natural man is the unregenerate, one who has the spirit of the world, one not born anew of water and of the Spirit. Man is a triune being–body, soul and spirit. The natural man is under the dominion of the soul, the animal life. The spirit must be stirred from its dormant condition, and born again, before one can comprehend the things of the Spirit.[The Peoples New Testament]

Before I came to know Christ in a saving way I was a liberal "Christian." (That was before the liberals coined the term "progressive Christian.") As all liberals do, I molded Christianity into my worldview. Problem was I kept running into a road block — the Bible. I rarely read the Bible but when I did I’d invariably stumble on a passage that contradicted what, at the time, was "true for me." I admit it troubled me but I chose to ignore what I’d read and remained steadfast in my mission to form Christianity into my way of thinking, come hell or high water.

As a radical feminist I was unapologetically pro-choice and loved to spout off about a woman’s right to "choose" to have an abortion. Then one day I got into a discussion with a Christian friend who supported the pro-life position. In our discussions I proudly parroted all the pro-abortion talking points. What did this Christian do? She calmly and lovingly shredded my dogmatic assertions with the "sword of the Spirit," the Word of God! Although it was hard to argue with the clear teaching of Scripture I stubbornly persisted in my beliefs.

The unregenerate heart, says Pastor Way, "has no regard for God’s Word and is in rebellion against God’s Word and God’s promises." The unregenerate heart cannot know God. That’s because human beings are born with a sin nature that alienates us from God. Sinful creatures are unable to attain God’s righteousness apart from regeneration. Regeneration occurs when a person is born again. In other words, when someone comes to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as his or her Savior, he or she is newly regenerate. (Rom 5:8-10) The regenerate Christian is Spirit led and seeks to live a godly and holy life as outlined in the Bible.[source]

Twitter puts the pressure on concerning Iran!

Who would have thought that a with just a few characters – 140 to be precise – you could make such a difference. I do have a twitter account and I have to say that I have found some very good articles and points of view from all over the world via other twitter’s. Not only that, but if you set up your twitter account to your facebook account anything that you twit will automatically appear on your profile, any links that you find any posts that you make on your blog etc.

Facebook for me has been another place that has a wealth of good information that people have come across. Let me say this though, facebook can contain a lot of rubbish too. But I have facebook friends like “Answers in Genesis”, “Lambert Dolphin” and “Raymond Gano” all of which put out some very needed information for bible believing Christians concerning a large range of topics.

Here are a couple of quotes taken concerning the power of twitter…

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. State Department said on Tuesday it had contacted the social networking service Twitter to urge it to delay a planned upgrade that would have cut daytime service to Iranians who are disputing their election.

Confirmation that the U.S. government had contacted Twitter came as the Obama administration sought to avoid suggestions it was meddling in Iran’s internal affairs as the Islamic Republic battled to control deadly street protests over the election result.

Twitter and Facebook have been used as a tool by many young people to coordinate protests over the election’s outcome. [source]

 

The last few days have seen users of the Internet (and Twitter in particular) flex their muscles in ways that I would not have imagined only a few months ago.  Over the weekend, users of Twitters blasted CNN over its lack of coverage of the Iranian elections and the accompanying protests over claims of ballot fraud. Twitter users even adopted the hashtag #CNNfail to highlight a lack of Iran coverage from the news giant. In response, CNN was forced to defend itself and upped its coverage.

Today, it was Twitter’s turn to be on the receiving end of the negative hashtag #NoMaintenance, as Twitter users, including those in Iran, pleaded with the social network to postpone a 90-minute network upgrade scheduled for this evening.  Twitter is proving to be one of the few ways that Iranians are able to contact the outside world with reports of the protests against the election results. [source]

On a personal note, I do have people who read the articles that I put up… and the feedback that I get is that they have been challenged by them and have liked them which is a good thing. So, if you are a twitterer and/or facebooker keep the news coming, keep up the pressure and keep posting challenging articles on your blogs, or from other sources that you may find on the WWW linking them to these social networks. You may be making a huge difference!

Just to let you all know, that I haven’t disappeared from blog land, I am just fighting off a very bad cold and cough. I need to rest and not think about anything other than getting myself better.

I am sure I will feel better soon, well… that is my hope anyway.
