Rise Again, by Dallas Holm Dallas was back in the 80's one of the single most popular christian artists and song writers. Rise Again, maybe one of his most popular and powerful. I had the honor and privilege of playing keyboards for him on two different occasions - My brother and I used to sing some (gospel) music on a (very) small scale - and he befriended us - many years ago at a conference we were both attending. A tremendous and talented force for God in his writing and voice. He never let his (popularity) at the time get in the way of his message of for that popularity to take priority over his family. I remember when his wife became ill with cancer - he took care of her and his music came second. I admired the man of strength and character and prayer that he was and is. This song has long been a favorite of mine and I was reminded of it again - when my brother asked me to play and perform it with him again this past Easter Sunday. No tapes - no back up...no additional instruments - just he and I and the piano ... (wow) - I never thought of performing like that years ago as (scary) - I think I was too young to realize that standing in front of lots of people singing - (can be) a scary thing...lol! - It was good to do this with and for my brother again - and being in that little church that I grew up in ... the song - such a powerful message - I wanted to share. Blessings and even though a few days later...Easter Blessings to all of you (every day).

“Without love even the most radical devotion to God is of no value to Him. Let me make sure that sinks in… You can gain all the spiritual gifts in the world. You can take the most radical steps of obedience. You can share every meal with the homeless in your city. You can memorize the book of Leviticus. You can pray each morning for four hours like Martin Luther. But if what you do does not flow out of a heart of love - a heart that does those things because it genuinely desires to do them - it is ultimately worthless to God.”
-J.D. Greear (Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary)

Concerning Retaliation
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.
Matthew 5:38-42

The Narrow Gate
"Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Concerning Treasures
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:19-21 Serving Two Masters "No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. Matthew 6:24

Learning to Lean by the Blackwell Brothers Quartet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=ehkg7-SVByk
Learning to Lean Learning to Lean I'm learning to lean on Jesus Finding more power than i 'd ever dreamed I'm learning to lean on Jesus. Learning to lean, Learning to lean i'm learning to lean on Jesus finding more power than i 'd ever dream i'm learning to lean on Jesus Sad, broken-hearted at an altar i knelt i found peace that is so serene and all that He asked is a child like trust and a heart that is learning to lean Learning to lean, learning to lean finding more power than i'd ever dreamed i'm learning to lean on Jesus

Petra: Not of this World.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=BhPVOyzZBqk
Not of this World We are Pilgrims in a strange land We are so far From our home land With each passing day It seems so clear This world will never Want us here We're not welcome In this world of wrong We are foreigners Who don't belong oooo We are strangers We are aliens We are not of this world We are envoys we must tarry With this message We must carry There's so much To do before we leave With so many more Who may believe Our mission here Can never fail And the gates of hell Will not prevail oooo We are strangers We are aliens We are not Of this world. We are strangers We are aliens We are not of this world. Jesus told us men would hate us But we must be Of good cheer He has overcome This world of darkness Soon we will Depart from here We are strangers We are aliens We are not of this world. We are strangers We are aliens We are not of this world.

Grave Robber by Petra
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=Rj-tpOH21NM
Grave Robber There's a step that we all Have to take alone An appointment we have With the Great Unknown Like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass Like the flowers that fade Like the withering grass But life seems so long and death so complete and the grave An impossible portion to cheat But there is One Who has been there and still lives to tell There is One Who has been thru Both Heaven and Hell And the grave will come up Empty handed that day Jesus will come and steal us away Where is the sting tell me Where is the bite? When the Grave Robber comes Like a thief in the night Where is the victory Where is the prize? When the Grave Robber comes and Death finally dies. Many still mourn and many still weep For those that they love who have fallen asleep But we have this hope Though our hearts may still ache Just one shout from above and they all will awake and in the reunion of Joy we will see Death will be swallowed in sweet victory Where is the sting tell me Where is the bite When the Grave Robber comes Like a thief in the night Where is the victory Where is the prize When the Grave Robber comes and Death finally dies. When the last enemy is gone From the dust will come a song Those asleep will be awakened Not a one will be forsaken He shall wipe away our tears He will steal away our fears There will be no sad tomorrow There will be no pain nor sorrow Where is the sting tell me Where is the bite When the Grave Robber comes Like a thief in the night Where is the victory Where is the prize When the Grave Robber comes and Death finally dies.

Until The End Of The World
I never knew that this U2 song was about Judas and Christ. I always thought it was about an innocent girl and her ex-boyfriend until recently. What it is really about, is the awesome love of God for us. It is one thing to read about, or intellectually acknowledge God's love, another to actually feel God's raw, redemptive, power, in the face of those dark, relentless, mega-storms we get lost in.
Have'nt seen you in quite awhile I was down the hole just passing time Last time we met was a low-lit room We were as close together as a bride and groom We ate the food, we drank the wine Except You You were talking about the end of the world I took the money I spiked your drink You miss too much these days if you stop to think You led me on with those innocent eyes You know I love the element of surprise In the garden I was playing the tart I kissed your lips and broke your heart You...You were acting like it was The end of the world In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows, they learned to swim Surrounding me, going down on me Spilling over the brim Words of regret and waves of joy I reached out for the one I tried to destroy You...You said you'd wait 'til the end of the world |

A very good friend of mine asked me the other day if I was "happy". I told her that spending time with my friend's make's me happy. I am "content". I have a roof over my head,food to eat,clothing,my dog Gypsy (helps with depression), I have a job andd am able to afford a luxery like a car. I have life and for every day that I wake it is a good day ! Id hate to be one of those people who is never happy and is always negative and unkind. I appreciate this one life that God has given me..I am Blessed.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Ephesians 6: 14-16 I have certainly had the devils arrows breezing past me for the past 8 years but thank God it is finally over. With God as my guide, the evil one lost this round. Thank you God for blessing me and being so good to me though I don't deserve it, many times. God thank you for giving me peace in my life again

I am giving great thanks today for the answer to one prayer. I am hoping the other will be answered soon as well.
