spring time hope!

Ah yes, spring has finally come to Bloomington Indiana. Oh happy day and we will be switching to daylight savings time this weekend. There will be more sun to cheer the soul. The best part about having four seasons is the joy that comes when the season you’re in has been long, and we come to a point where we think ok, I'm ready to welcome the next season to come. We had a good winter this year, it was snowy and cold, I loved it. There were times when the sun did not shine for weeks. Now, spring has come, and there is the hope of warmth and warm rain that falls too turn dead winter into green and flower. It's time to plant seed, and watch things blossom and grow. It is a good time, hopeful really. Ah, Hope, it comes with the next season, that's why we long for the next season. Hope!

Panicky Branch.

Hebrews 2:14-18 NIV Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death---that is, the devil--- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Oh me of little faith, at least that is how I feel when I read scripture that remind me of the great work God has done. The question that comes to mind is how, if I believe that these things are true, should my life look, or how do I live? Things I'm sure of, first that Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, that I ...

It's not necessary

Here I am, soon to be thirty one. As I begin this thirty first year, I begin also my first year of under grad. I have some what of an idea of the direction I'm to take, but some how it still is foggy. I still feel as if I'm trying to go down a road that has not come into complete view yet. Here's the thing though, that's ok. It is not necessary to see everything clearly before I begin this journey. I have learned that God, will never leave me or forsake me. "The bible tells me so." Now I have to step out on faith, and hold to his promises and truth. I have to remember too that time and again, he's been faithful, I can trust Him, and I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Oh! Amen!

Words are Powerful

I have not the ability to speak or write elegently, though I long to share the thoughts in my head. My thoughts sometime come with strong feelings, so most often the safest place for my thoughts to be are in writing, speaking has in it an element of speed, which may cause my thoughts to be spoken with out thought. As I have learned, words spoken in haste and with strong feeling influence may be harmful even distructive. I should be one who speaks truth, but if the truth I speak is surounded by harshness and reaction, if it is not gental and thoughtful, indeed the truth may be spoken, but it may not be heard, or taken to heart. This is why it is said of “the reckless tongue”, “ It pierces like swords” Proverbs 12:18. Should I than be silent? Yes I think I should if I can not be wise in the things I say, if I do not think about what I say before I say it I should be silent. Proverbs 12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
    but whoever hates correction is stupid.   Go...
