Having A Good Hair Day

SENSATIONAL SUNDAY!!!!!!! "Merry Merry,Quite Contrary"
“It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again…” (Luke 15:32)There is a segment of the people that are threatened by good news. They are jealous of others’ blessings. You get a raise in pay, they get a raise in blood pressure. If you’re merry they’re contrary. Scrooge was like that in the Dickens classic.The elder brother was like that when his little brother returned from the pig pen. When he heard about the ring, the robe, the roast and the rejoicing, “he was angry, and would not go in…” (vs 28) He gave the news-bearer a piece of his mind, then his father. Afte

THANKSGIVIING THURSDAY!!!!!! "Be Filled"!
“…when I come unto you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ” (Romans 15:29)The fasting is over and today is a day of feasting.I love thanksgiving,its the one day that big thighs are a good thing.Seriously though,As we give thanks for God's blessings ,lets remember to fill up on more than stuffing and cranberry sauce. Job was on a great diet "I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. (Job 23:12).

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!!!!!!! "Have I told you Lately"?
“I love the Lord…” Psalm 116.1 The day before thanksgiving is always a busy day.Prepping turkey,pies and all the good stuff that we are going to consume for the next 2 weeks.Its also good time to reflect of course on God's goodness and to remind him and the other's in our life we love them.One early morning a while back I was going through a bunch of Cd's and

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY!!!!!!! "Putting on the Pounds"
…Lord, thy pound has gained ten pounds”Luke 19.16Hard GainersLooking forward to turkey day this week! All right!!! Thank God I’ve finally found a verse that excuses putting on a few pounds.Ha..lol.. The first trader in the parable gained “ten pounds”, the second “five pounds” and they even were rewarded at the end for their scale tipping. Of course, I’m practicing isogesis, reading something into the text instead of exegesis, drawing truth out. The pounds spoken of here were money units, like English pounds, minas

SENSATIONAL SUNDAY!!!!!!! "Walmart Or Church? Hmmmmm"?
“I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord” (Psalm 122:1)For one thing, WalMart has “Glad” bags. Gladness is missing in a lot of churches today. Where's the beef? Remember that commercial? I was perusing the shelves at our Super-WalMart in Romeoville...
