Internetspirations: May 2014
http://internetspirations.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 22, 2014. Jesus wept." — John 11:35. Imagine: Jesus delayed coming to his friend Lazarus as he lay dying. Now he arrives, seemingly too late. His friend is now dead and buried. Jesus wept. At first, you may simply view Jesus' emotional display as an empathetic response to the loss of friend in this life. But wait; Jesus owns eternity! Why would he cry at the loss of a friend, and why did he wait when he was told that Lazarus lay dying? In modern perspective, it doesn't make sense. No He has...

Internetspirations: February 2015
http://internetspirations.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. Go Out With Joy. Mark 1:40 - 45. A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean! Nine years ago this day I lost a good friend. I have written about Gary DuVaul here before; a wonderful minister with whom I lost track of for a while, and then reconnected with about a year before he died. I find this passage interesting&#...

Internetspirations: Reacting to a Rude Awakening
http://internetspirations.blogspot.com/2015/04/reacting-to-rude-awakening.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Reacting to a Rude Awakening. This morning I got a phone call before I was fully awake. I had been "coasting" for about five minutes but suddenly I had this urgent call that required that I spring out of bed and deal with something with a clear head. It didn't help that the caller was already anxious! Unfortunately, from his viewpoint, resolution didn't happen immediately! Some meditative methods seek to free your mind, and empty your mind of negative and challenging thoughts....

Internetspirations: April 2015
http://internetspirations.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 23, 2015. The Voice of the Loud vs The Lord. You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written:. 8220;‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me;. Every tongue will acknowledge God.’”. So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. There has been a groundswell of activity lately from atheist and other camps to proselytize their opposition to be...

Internetspirations: March 2015
http://internetspirations.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Don't Let Life Defeat You. Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.". I have always had a fascination with what can age a person. We can see it clearly in our lives. Ever notice how much Presidents age during their tenure in office? So often they go in with energy and youth and emerge four or eight years later with deep lines and grey hair. I have seen people defeated by divorce and others who have made it their work ...

Internetspirations: Count the Blessings of Life
http://internetspirations.blogspot.com/2015/06/count-blessings-of-life.html
Monday, June 1, 2015. Count the Blessings of Life. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.". I woke up this morning to a usual sound. I've been blessed to have them all my life. Mockingbirds. Living first in the hills above Los Angeles, and now in Orange County, the song of the mockingbird reaches every suburban corner. Gradually the morning opened up to coffee and toast. There on my kitchen counter lay the program from a memorial service I attended yesterday. ...Like ...

Internetspirations: August 2015
http://internetspirations.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Press Your Own "Like" Button. But God has a message for all of us: He loves us, unconditionally. That's not to say he approves of everything we do. But regardless of our activity, the scriptures repeatedly tell us that he holds us very dear. But I am here to tell you that in spite of any rejection you have felt, or for that matter, have dished out, God understands. And hear me on this: He loves you anyway. There is much inside of you that is good. Now, you can choose to let th...

Internetspirations: Thoughts for a Tough Month
http://internetspirations.blogspot.com/2015/06/thoughts-for-tough-month.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. Thoughts for a Tough Month. Just because they say some people may now marry whomever they want, it doesn't mean YOU have to. If you have a problem with it, then marry heterosexually. Live life according to your principles, but don't expect everyone else to jump on board. That's called freedom. The fight we need to fight is one to preserve this system, so that we may all worship and believe as we choose, and stand united with the common ground of being Americans. A Watch to Hear.

Internetspirations: Make It So You Don't Have To Fake It
http://internetspirations.blogspot.com/2015/04/make-it-so-you-dont-have-to-fake-it.html
Saturday, April 18, 2015. Make It So You Don't Have To Fake It. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.". Fake it till you make it" is probably not the best advice to give some people, who might just endanger others along their learning curve. Trying to fly a plane or drive a locomoti...
