This issue out a bit early, calling the month, and the year done. This year as been awesome, blessing filled, enlightenment after enlightenment, and blessing after blessing. I'm going to spend the rest of the year away from the computer, and with family. Love you guys! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and see you in 20 17.

Twisted Scripture Romans 16:16
The Churches of Christ (COC) sect takes its name from this verse. Some claim that any true church will also have the correct scriptural name. Christ said, "I will build My church" (Mt 16:18). The COC argues that since it is Christ's church, it should be called the Church of Christ. Different verses, however, point to other descriptors, such as "church of God" (1 Co 10:32; Gl 1:13) and "assembly of the firstborn" (Heb 12:23). Nowhere does God's Word prescribe that a legitimate church should haave a specific name.

I hate shopping. And I stand by my theory that WalMart is satan's residence.
I did manage to accomplish my trip there today (Dec 9) and still show My Jesus to others by allowing a lady who failed to pay for all of her stuff and couldn't get out the door to come back and cut in front of me to pay for her big item.
Knowing I have to go back tonight and again tomorrow I decided I needed my high dollar Sweet Bay Mudslide Mocha fix. I go to pull in line and from the other direction comes this little red car 1/3 the size of my Avalanche to cut in front of me. She apparently needed coffee bad. But did stop at the last second and thought better of her actions. I could easily have kept her from going but showed her My Jesus instead.
She apparently needed her coffee more than I needed my Mocha. Then I find out she paid for mine too. Thank you so much for doing that. For showing me that the little things I think I'm doing for others aren't going un-noticed.
Jesus, thank you for working on me and in me, and showing through me!!!!

Even though the group study for this one was postponed, I went ahead and went through it.
I find it fascinating going through the Bible this way. And learn something new each day!

"Framing addiction as chronic disease does not remove the moral choices involved, but gives us a broader framework for understanding them."

Rubies Book Club went through this book and we finished Mid-December. Loved looking in depth to the Woman at the Well, Michal, Rahab, Jezebel, the Sinful Woman... ten women in all, we took one - two per week, and discussed in detail. I have to say I quite often disagreed with the authors opinion of some of the women, but found her very thought provoking, and am very interested in reading some more of her Bad Girl books.

I borrowed this one from a friend. The staff at our church read this one apparently as a group, and it came highly recommended. I must agree with the whole book. We all too often clutter our lives, our space, and our minds with nonsense, and this book gives you practical steps to uncluttering it all. If you have trouble going to sleep at night, cause you can't turn it off... this one is for you!

This is my first Lucado study. I've read a couple of his books, but never a study. This one is very good. I was a bit disappointed that the book contained most of the same stories that the on-line videos contained. It was advertised as having unique information. All in all, it was a great study.

I started this series about a year ago. Stopped in the middle, and restarted again this month. I think that God has a time for everything, and my time for this study was now. I have drawn my own circles and know that I will pray them daily.

May my children and grandchildren choose life and blessing. Let them love You Lord, and obey Your voice, and cling to You as I do. For You are their life and the length of their days. Deut 30:19-20

We did Series I in Sunday school. I love George's writtings, even though they are written in Scottish dialect, and translated to Old English, and presented to us in that format. A little difficult to read, but well worth the time you are investing!

I found this book very interesting. A whole lot of information. Useful information. However, it had a quite boring layout. I found myself rereading a couple of passages numerous times. I probably shouldn't say boring, but more appropriately unfamiliar information. I decided about halfway through it that if I were Jewish most of this would make sense. The majority of the book is geared I suspect to the Messianic Jew. And how to apply the New Testament to their culture and traditions. Seeing how this is information that I am trying to learn. None too successfully, it was not information for me, per se.
An excellent source of data though. And an appendix at the back that listed some other really great sources of Jewish Roots that I have not encountered before.
I will be keeping this one near my desk for quick access when researching.

For those of you that are familiar with last issues Mockingbird story. Just want to show you guys that He followed me into WalMart. Or God used this one to say hi to me whilst in the pit of satans realm. Regardless, it made my day, and made me feel loved by Him even more.
