WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO!!!!!!!!

Many know that Black Friday is a very crazy day. Well, I saw how crazy it was, because I worked. Sadly, the night of Black Friday I found out that an employee from a Walmart out of state died. She was trampled and killed. How awful is that? This makes me sick! I mean yeah it is a crazy day, but you shouldn't go running into a store. There are so many in different countries that have nothing. We should think about them rather than what we want. Pepole forget that we can help these poor people in other countries by sending money and praying. God Bless You All!!!

WAR







How aweful it is to see war rage on. The most powerful way to try and stop it is prayer. Today I saw in the news how terrorists went on a merciless massacre with grenades and guns in Mumbai, India . I wish God could do something about terrorists, but it is the way of life. Suffering is big part in this. It is so hard because I would hate to see my family die like that. How would you like to be in these peoples lives and see your family shot down. I would hate it, so I ask you once you do read this, please to thank God for the ways he has blessed us. In the one picture look how much the woman is suffering. It tears my heart how she probably lost a loved one in her life.



Prayer of Thanksgiving
Walter Rauschenbusch

O God, we thank you for this earth, our home;For the wide sky and the blessed sun,For the salt sea and the running water,For the everlasting hillsAnd the never-resting winds,For trees and the common grass underfoot.We thank you for our sensesBy which we hear the songs of birds,And see the splendor of the summer fields,And taste of the autumn fruits,And rejoice in the feel of the snow,And smell the breath of the spring.Grant us a heart wide open to all this beauty;And save our souls from being so blindThat we pass unseeingWhen even the common thornbushIs aflame with your glory,O God our creator,Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

I wish all a Happy Thanksgiving! Remember it is a time for family and to thank God for the bountiful food he has given us. God Bless you and God Bless America

My Life

OK I wanted to take a break from me trying to evangelize everyone. I wanted to tell you how life is going for me. I am keeping up with work. Working the crazy night shift. It is great though, because it gives me the time to write my blog during the day. We are working on getting ready for the family Thanksgiving dinner, and through what I have seen what Morgo has written on her blog(theworldoutsidethebox) I will giving thanks to God even more this year. Each week I feel i am growing closer to God. I wish everyone happy holidays! I am so excited, because it looks like we are going to have a white Thanksgiving here in Ohio. We are expecting six feet by tomorrow morning.

Suffering


We talked about suffering this weekend at my Church. It was a great topic to talk about, because Christ suffered on the cross for our sins. We suffer through losing friends, people dying, depression, etc. If we look back in our lives we see how much Christ endured and went through. Remember never to lose faith in God. He always loves us, so we should always love Him. Christ is Everything.

Luck or Miracle


Is your life rocking yet? Well mine is! Actually, Sunday I could have been killed. Have you ever thought why God let lunatics drive on the road? Well, I was driving to Lifeteen , which is my Church activity that I am a part of. It was a 25 m.p.h road, and this guy sped out of his driveway. I slammed on my breaks, slid on a patch of ice. I went out of control then, did a 360 spin on the road, and went up on a curb. A few feet away was a telephone pole. If I wouldn't have stopped, I would have slammed into the pole on my side. The angels were looking out for me. I took some time and prayed. I thanked my guardian angel and God. It wasn't luck that the car stopped before the telephone pole. I was spinning so fast that I should have hit it. God stopped the car for me. He put his hand out and stopped the car. He was watching out for me, and he is always watching out for you. He is the light of the world.
There is never luck, when things happen in your life. They are blessings or even miracles, that God placed in your life at the right time. Remember when you say you were lucky next time. Ask yourself," was I lucky or could it have been God that helped me today." God watches over us, and we need to understand that their is always an answer to being lucky.

Bible Rocks God's House


The Bible is very hard. In my life I didn't care for it. It is just a whole bunch of stories, I thought to myself. Yeah, they are a whole bunch of stories, but they made history. Every person in the Bible made history. Some made a bad history for man. A lot made a good history for us though. Without these special people in our lives I do not know how we would be living our lives today. The prophets were the greatest out of all the people in the Old Testament. They prepared the way for the coming of Christ. Christ, was everyone's celebrity though. He was their hero and star. Though no one knew who He was, a lot of people loved him, but He also had many enemies. God is awesome that is why my life Rocks the House!

Starting next week I will talk more about Christianity.

Christian Failure


I hear from many people," Well, I go to Church every Sunday". This isn't just the way to live a life for God. If you think this then you have failed to fulfill what God wants. There are many ways. A few way is to love, be charitable and kind, but mostly to pray. This is the biggest way to find out what God wants from you in your life. Another way is to follow God's commandments, because he gave us these commandments to follow. If these were given to us by God then why wouldn't we follow them? We should stay faithful to God. When we do have a casualty, it would be even harder to deal with something. Why? Without God in your life you do not know how powerful and loving He is. When a casualty does happen, many blame God. This also can lead to those, who are somewhat faithful to God, farther away from their faith. I think the more you grow closer to God, the more easier it will be to let go when a tragedy happens. Let us not forget why Christ died for us. He gave us his time, then why shouldn't we? Let us look at that picture and ask yourself," Would you take the place of this man?

My Life


I know a lot of people think: Here is a guy trying to help change us, but I bet he does not live his life like this. Well, no one lives a perfect life. Everyone has their falls. Everyone must give their time, talent, and treasures to God.

It is very hard. I mean I go to Mass, but I know this is not the only way to live a Christian life. (the next post will explain more) I forget to pray at times, but now since I go to work at night it is more easier. It is still hard though, because when I didn't have a great day I feel like not giving God what He wants from me. I know though that Christ did not want to die on the cross. I also know that He gave his life for us, so I must give my time, talent, and treasure.(you will find out more on the next post) When I go to work I have devoted a half an hour to him by listening to Praise and Worship. This has actually been very powerful. God has blessed me, because I have had people question me about my faith. They also ask why I listen to that music and tell me it is out of date. I ask them first with an easy question, " Why did Christ die on the cross for us? After they answer I tell them shouldn't we then give some of our time to God. I have people that have come up to me and have thanked me and said that they feel much better after praying.
I am also part of Lifeteen. It is an awesome evening filled with faithful team leaders. It is amazing how many kids want to learn more about the Christian faith.
I feel that God has something big planned in my life.

Rising Up





Many this weekend are excited! Ohio State and Michigan are playing this weekend. It is one of the biggest game that is watched in the United States. This is where I think football is great, but people go too far. Here is a game where people cheer their loudest and hold big parties.
But when we go to Church do we sing and praise God as loud as we can. We forget winning a game is great, but having God in our lives is even greater. Football teams can only win a ball game. God wins people souls and allows them to come into heaven Go Buckeyes! Even better though- Go GOD!!! Amen

Life is Awesome!!!


Why did I start making this blog?
One was because of the help of a friend, she made me interested to make one.

What is the point of this blog?
It is to reach out and let others know how thankful they should be to have a life lived full of happiness.

Why should we care?
We are blessed to have a home, food,and a God that we love. There are so many throughout the world that live on the streets. They even die on the streets. Many people are poor, while in the United States we live our lives like we are in paradise. Life is not going to last forever. We forget that we are going to die, and depending on how we live our lives we will get judged by God. We should be growing closer to God, because who knows the end of the world could happen tomorrow. Plus, Christ suffered and died for us, and saved us. Let us remember that. Those who read this I am trying to get to a point here. Straighten up your lives, and maybe just maybe your lives will rock.

Rock On!!!!!

Life Rocks! I bet you didn't even know that, because life is to crazy and busy.
