Hello Dorothy
Thank you for your reply.  I am 46 years young and
feeling very blessed. Like you, I found when you keep
your life christ centered, everything else really does
fall into place (good and bad). I just hate I wasted
20 years tryng to figure it out. But Jesus was patient
and waited for me!! smile. He protected me through my
wilderness years. I now find such joy in the smallest
things, it just amazing. May God continue to bless
you, my sister and your family. Ephesians 1:15-16
Peace, Karen

Silent Treatment

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were
giving each other the silent treatment.   The next week, the man
realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an
early morning business flight to Chicago. Not wanting to be the
first to break the silence (AND LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
"Please wake me at 5:00 AM."

The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was
9:00 AM and that he had missed his flight. Furious,  he was about
to go and see why his wife hadn't awakened him, when he noticed  a
piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

but seriously....
          Ephesians 4:26.."In your anger, do not sin.  Do not let the sun do
down while you are still angry."




This was sent to me from a group that I’m in.  One thing that came to me reading
this is that men and women do this.  This story is sad but true. Then I thought
what if one day we get mad at a love one laid down to rest and didn’t wake up
the next day to say sorry.  Please pass this on to all that you know.  It’s time
to this thing right ya’ll.



God is a God of Grace, don’t play with His grace for it does run out!





Father God in the mighty name of Jesus, Lord you I thank you Lord for your grace
and mercy for I don’t deserve it.  Lord I ask that you do a work in ME so that I
will be pleasing to YOUR sight!  May we all examine OURSELVES to find out how WE
can better make our situations with our spouse, friends, or love ones.  Many
times Lord we want to blame the other person for how we act for it’s really how
we really are in the inside.  Lord I come against every devil that is trying to
mess with your children’s home.  Every marriage Lord I lift them up to you.  Let
there be peace and harmony in the midst of your people.  Oh God, Oh God you
didn’t intend for us to be at each other’s throat always arguing and not
speaking with each.  But you intend for us to forgive each other and love them
as you have loved us.  Ever foul spirit of confusion I bind you in the Name of
Jesus.  The blood of Jesus set each person free as they read this pray.  LOOSE
every mind!  Father send your spirit of Love and
  anointing to destroy every yoke.  I claim it and believe that is done for you
are a God that is powerful over everything that you have created.  Thou Son of
David created over the universe release the minds and may there be change in the
land of your people.  In the name of Jesus!  The Blood of Jesus!!!!



Amen!!!



Let there be change.  I don’t know who this if for but if it’s for you then heed
to this.



God Bless

2 cor 4:  7 But we have this treasure in a fragile vase of clay, in order
that the surpassing greatness of the power may be seen to belong to God, and not
to originate in us. . . .17 For this our light and transitory burden of
suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating,
and
eternal weight of glory; 18 while we look not at things seen, but things unseen;
for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal.
SKIN COLOR AND PHYSICAL RACIAL CHARACTERISTICS ARE TEMPORARY AND NOT TO BE
TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

2 Cor 5: 14 For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this:
that one died for all, then all have died; 15 and he died for all, that they who
live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has
been raised. 16* ¶ So that *we* HENCEFORTH KNOW NO ONE ACCORDING TO THE
[appearance of the] FLESH/BODY; but if even we have known Christ according to
flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer.
[16* ¶ Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we
have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.TCNT]
THE COMMAND IS THAT FROM NOW ON WE SHOULD KNOW NO ONE ACCORDING TO SKIN COLOR
AND PHYSICAL RACIAL CHARACTERISTICS

Acts 17: 24 The God who has made the world and all things which are in it,
*he*, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
25 nor is served by men’s hands as needing something, himself giving to all
life and breath and all things; 26 and HAS MADE OF ONE BLOOD EVERY NATION OF
PEOPLE to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained
times and the boundaries of their dwelling, 27 that they may seek God; if indeed
they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one
of us: 28 for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets
amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.
ALL RACES AND ETHNICITIES HAVE BEEN MADE FROM ONE BLOOD AND SO ARE ALL
RELATED AND DESCENDED FROM ADAM AND EVE AND NOAH AND HIS FAMILY.

Col 3:11 In that new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision
nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ is
everything and is in all of us.WEY
IN THE NEW CREATION OF CHRIST THERE IS NO ETHNICITY OR RACIAL DISTINCTIONS.
1 Tim 5:20 Those that sin convict before all, that the rest also may have
fear. 21 I testify before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou
keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing by favour. 22 Lay hands
quickly on no man, nor partake in others’ sins. Keep thyself pure.DBY
1Ti 5:21 I solemnly call upon you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus
and of the elect angels, to carry out these instructions of mine without
prejudice, and to do nothing from partiality.WEY

Le 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect
the person of the lowly, nor honour the person of the great; in righteousness
shalt thou judge thy neighbour.DBY
Le 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect
the person of the lowly, nor honour the person of the great; in righteousness
shalt thou judge thy neighbour.DBY
De 1:17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment: ye shall hear the small as
well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment
is God’s; and the matter that is too hard for you shall ye bring to me, that
I may hear it.DBY
De 16:19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons,
neither take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and
perverteth
the words of the righteous.
2Ch 19:7 And now, let the terror of Jehovah be upon you; be careful what ye
do, for there is no iniquity with Jehovah, nor respect of persons, nor taking
of presents.
Pr 24:23 These things also come from the wise. It is not good to have respect
of persons in judgment.
Pr 28:21 To have respect of persons is not good; but for a piece of bread
will a man transgress.

Pr 18:5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to wrong the
righteous in judgment.
Lu 20:21 And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and
teachest rightly, and acceptest no man’s person, but teachest with truth the
way
of God:DBY
Lu 20:21 So they put a question to Him. “Rabbi,” they said, “we know that
you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one
man and another, but teach God’s way truly.WEY

Mal 2:9 And I also have made you contemptible and base before all the people,
because ye have not kept my ways, but have respect of persons in administering
  the law.

Jas 2:1 My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, Lord of
glory, with respect of persons: 2 for if there come unto your synagogue a man
with a gold ring in splendid apparel, and a poor man also come in in vile
apparel, 3 and ye look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou
sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here under my
footstool: 4 have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges
having evil thoughts?DBY
Jas 2:1 My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man and
another while you are striving to maintain faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who
is
our glory. . . . 9 But if you are making distinctions between one man and
another, you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders.WEY

Jas 3:17 The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful,
courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, free from
favouritism
and from all insincerity.WEY

Mt 22:16 So they sent to Him their disciples together with the Herodians; who
said, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you faithfully teach
God’s truth; and that no fear of man misleads you, for you are not biased by
men’s wealth or rank.WEY
Mr 3:35 “Here are my mother and my brothers. For wherever there is one who
has been obedient to God, there is my brother--my sister--and my mother.”WEY
Jude 1:16 These men are murmurers, ever bemoaning their lot. Their lives are
guided by their evil passions, and their mouths are full of big, boastful
words, while they treat individual men with admiring reverence for the sake of
the
advantage they can gain.WEY

Act 10:9 - 15 Again a second time a voice was heard which said, “What God has
purified, you must not regard as unholy.” . . . 19 ¶ And Peter was still
earnestly thinking over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, “Three men
are
now inquiring for you. 20 Rise, go down, and go with them without any
misgivings; for it is I who have sent them to you.” . . . . 28 He said to
them, “You
know better than most that a Jew is strictly forbidden to associate with a
Gentile or visit him; but God has taught me to call no one unholy or unclean. .
. .
. 34 ¶ Then Peter began to speak. “I clearly see,” he said, “THAT GOD
MAKES
NO DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ANOTHER; 35 BUT THAT IN EVERY NATION THOSE
WHO FEAR HIM AND LIVE GOOD LIVES ARE ACCEPTABLE TO HIM. . . . . . 44 ¶ While
Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening
to the Message. 45 And all the Jewish believers who had come with Peter were
astonished that on the Gentiles also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured
out. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling the majesty of
God.

PRAISE THE LORD KAREN!

Thank you for your email.  I've never been married, however, I am a single mom. 
God has truly been good to me.  Jesus has been my husband since the age of 25. 
I am now 34 and I'm more in love with him now then I was at 25.  The days get
sweeter and sweeter.  Even when there are storms in my life, to which, there
have been many I have learned to count it all joy.

I look forward to Christian fellowship with saints from all over the country.  I
just received my approval yesterday and I need help with the chat site.  So if
you or anyone reading this email can help me I'd really appreciate it.

God Bless

have someone to go with me. But I thank God, through
prayer whenever family and friends aren't around, I
can still have good fun.

This is really the first time I joined a group also,
but I am looking forward to the new fellowship.  After
my divorce 3 years ago, I am just now content in my
singleness. I stopped going to movies and dinner and
most things you do in "two's" because I didn't always
have someone to go with me. But I thank God, through
prayer whenever family and friends aren't around, I
can still have good fun.

AN ESSENTIAL EXERCISE FOR HEALTH AND BEAUTY

     By Fern Horst

Looking for an activity that will both make you feel good and increase
your attractiveness? No, I'm not talking about physical exercise,
although it does make us feel good and increases our attractiveness
physically. I'm talking about an activity that the Psalmist referred
to over and over again - an active and constant praise of our Lord. He
listed many reasons to praise God, and, he let us in on a secret:
praising the Lord is both pleasant and comely ("comely" is an
old-fashioned word meaning "becoming" or "beautiful"):

"Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for
it is pleasant; and praise is comely." (Psalms 147:1)

In a sense, praise is the exercise of our hearts. Just as we exercise
our bodies to make them stronger, so we must exercise our spirits to
make them stronger. We become spiritually resilient as we praise the
Lord for all that He is, and all that He does for us. Praise moves our
focus from ourselves to our Lord, and strengthens our relationship
with Him. The difficulty is that it doesn't come naturally for us to
be thankful and to praise God. But, just like physical exercise, we
need to make a conscious choice to make it a part of our daily lives.
The more we do it, the more it will become a natural response as we
become increasingly aware of the many ways God is working in our
lives.

Perhaps you're wondering how praise will make you feel good and
increase your attractiveness. Think about it: isn't it when you are so
grateful for something that you feel compelled to express that
gratefulness that you feel the best? And aren't we most drawn to those
people who exude an attitude of thankfulness to the Lord, as opposed
to those who are bitter and complaining?

The catch is that such praise needs to be genuine. When we praise the
Lord in order to feel good, or to make ourselves attractive, it
doesn't work. We must be truly praising Him out of a heart of genuine
thankfulness and gratefulness. But isn't it wonderful to know that the
Lord gives us such tremendous side benefits to those things He
commands us to do?

13Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his
noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility
[which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom.
14But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish
ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in
defiance of and false to the Truth.
15This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is
earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal).
James 3:13-15

Just like you just posted you can do the samething in asking questions, posting
testimonies, or just simply saying hello to everyone and then people will see
that post and can respond to you.

RE: INTERRACIAL CHILDREN OF INTERRACIAL MARRIAGES & AND THE SIN OF
PARTIALITY**

Part One

EuroAm Lee Chennault* married and AfroAm soldier after a year engagement.
Her parents were extremely opposed to the marriage but loved Lee so much they
stayed in touch. She was very thankful
since so many of the EuroAms she knew who had married interracially had to go
on in the marriage without the support or love of their parents.  They moved
to and lived in France the first years of their marriage and found that their
interracial marriage was accepted there.

Lee writes, " . . . so many white people who marry interracially have to burn
all their bridges behind them.  They move into the so-called Black world.
Their families consider them dead.  My mother and father didn't do this.  It was
terribly hard for them, but they adjusted." (p.83).

My dad from Missouri was a racist supporter of the KKK and Hitler.  He told
me he would kill me if I ever dated or married and AfroAm and he had the guns
to do it.  During the Watts riots he put his guns in his car and cruised the
streets looking for and a rioting AfroAm to shoot.  My mother was from Ohio and
felt AfroAms were inherently inferior and opposed interracial marriage. When I
told my mother I was marrying an AfroAm after a 6 month courtship, she made
me promise to never tell my dad because he had so many heart attacks she was
afraid the news would kill him.  I invited my mother to my first interracial
marriage, but her behavior was so offensive though civil and polite that my wife
and I had no further contact with her and I did not invite her to my second
interracial marriage.  My dad didn't learn of my interracial marriages until 20
years later the week he died.  I figured he was too weak then to hurt anybody.
  My parents, my wives and I lived in coastal So. Calif.

Jesus was not a vital part of Lee's life.  At age 12 Jesus miraculously saved
predelinquent and suicidal me.  Immediately I knew my parents were dead in
their sins and the pawns of Satan (Eph 2:1,2).  This greatly reduced their
influence on me and in my life, saving me from their racism because I saw how
racism, partiality, bias, prejudice and bigotry are condemned in the Bible**,
and
how Jesus wants us to unselfishly and compassionately cherish and LOVE everyone.

Lee's marriage failed after two  years, for reasons too personal to share,
reasons that were not racial.
As a EuroAm single mom with an interracial child she found that economics
caused her to live in a predominantly EuroAm community.  She had to live where
she found work.  Her obvious and remarkable beauty and intelligence opened many
doors for her and shut many racists' mouths.

At one social gathering a EuroAm couple began to talk to Lee and their talk
betrayed their racism.  The man was a little pathetic in his ignorance.  Lee
writes <<I was beginning to feel a little sorry for him.  I smiled as sweetly as
I could . . . and replied, "No, he isn't; but my child IS colored, she is
over there, and I think I'd better tell you before you say anything ELSE."  He
didn't even blink.  His wife gasped. So then we chatted about other things.>>
(p.84)  Her child, Desi, played on.

She continues, "I don't want  people's tolerance.  For me the age of white
supremacy is dead, and I am indifferent to name-calling and social ostracism.  I
have found that this calm attitude acts as a bulwark for Desi.  I never
discount or pooh-pooh any of her troubles, whether they involve racial prejudice
or
not.  But when they do, my own conviction that we are right and they are
wrong, that ignorant people don't count, that the crusade for racial equality is
fought on a level different from this, helps her to see these troubles in their
correct perspective."

"Children are such realists.  Provide them with  a deep and constant
[unconditional and committed] love, give their lives the importance you give
your own;
teach them about the world we live in, and they will face life equipped with
a joy in being.  Help children to retain their natural sense of reality by
being honest with them, and you earn their confidence and trust." (p. 84)

Ruth was a Moabitess, a despised minority in the Israel of that day.  Taught
in the way of Jehovah by Naomi and witnessing her sweet and godly graciousness
in her walk with Jehovah, she was insulated and protected emotionally from
the ignorance and prejudice of the Israelites all around her.  Naomi and Ruth
were immersed in Love and Loved each other, and so were "indifferent to
name-calling and social ostracism."  Naomi's calmness acted "as a bulwark for"
Ruth.
Naomi's faith which had become Ruth's faith enabled her to see her social
problems "in their correct perspective."  Naomi and Jehovah-Jesus provided Ruth
"with a deep and constant [unconditional and committed] love", gave her life
importance, taught her about the world she lived in, enabled her to "face life
equipped with a joy in being."  Naomi was honest with Ruth, and had earned her
confidence and trust.  From Naomi, Ruth learned to rest in her confidence and
trust in Jehovah-Jesus.

End of part one.

And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before the
Lord, be near the Lord our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause
of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, as each day may require,
that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no
other. Let your heart therefore be loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His
statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.”

1 Kings 8:59-61
