Here I am once again sick. It seems when I am sick that is when the Lord speaks to me the most. He gives me the best ideas, creativity, and encouragement. It seems that I get the most work done typing away on my lap top right from my bed. A friend of mine pointed this out to me the other day that I seem to be more productive when I get sick. I was wondering why can't the Lord talk to me when I am healthy. And then once again I am reminded of my stubbornness and pigheadedness. I love the scripture "Be still and know that I am God." You would think the Be still part is easy. No it is the hardest thing in the world. Time and time and time again. I repent and say sorry Lord for not being still before you and say I won't ever let it happen again. And hear I am again being forced to be still. Good thing He doesn't condemn us on broken promises. But I must admit I sure love the being still part. I just wish I would be still on better terms. So maybe this is the year I will learn that lesson a little better, and I am praying that you too will learn the lesson of being still before God. Because it is wonderful to spend time with Him--just Him and me! I love you Daddy!

After reading the new testament and all Jesus says about spending ourselves on behalf of the poor, how come some people take that literally and give up their lifestyle and have very little but most of us stay in the lifestyle we are in when we read these words whether it is lower, middle or upper income? Compared to most of the world we are all considered rich right? Too long of a question?
