Who will you feed?

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me in life. " he said to the boy. "It is a terrrible fight and it is between two wolves." One is evil, he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,lies, false pride, superioriy and ego." He continued, "One is good, he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you-and inside every other person too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

God doesn't call the qualified he qualifies the called.

You know... Ive been thinking alot about purpose and doing great things in life. Alot of time's fear of failure get's in the way of truely reaching our full potental. I can personaly relate to this. Ive put this circle of comefort arround myself thinking im not good enough to do great things and Ive struggled to break free from that. I know I can do more and be more for my family myself and most importantly for God because I know he has given me many gifts that ive been afraid to use because I would have to be out of my comefort zone. Well I read this quote today and some symular bible verses and feel as if God's trying to tell me some thing even though I may not want to listen I know I need to because I don't want to let him down. Life is like a battle, and you need to know who your team mates are in the battle and who you can count on, and I want God to know He can count on me. Someone once told me that God doesn't call the qualified he qualifies the called.

Jesus

God's plan is so awesome..........


Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I never noticed this....

The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed at the head of that stony coffin.

Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.

She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!'

Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see. The other disciple outran Peter and got there first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in.

Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side.

Is that important? Absolutely!

Is it really significant? Yes!

In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition.

When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished.

Now if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table. The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, 'I'm done'.

But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because..........

The folded napkin meant, 'I'm coming back!'
He is Coming Back!
Now everytime I use a cloth napkin after a meal I will think of this one.

God and friendship

You know... the more I realy think about it, the more I'm so thankful to my Lord for all the years of my life. He really knows what he's doing. I'm especially thankful for the blessings in my life like my family and friends if not for the're support and love and guidance I wouldnt be writing this today.
Its funny how when your young you realy don't think about the affect of thing's you do wether it be thing's against God or against our fellow man as I look back on decisions Ive made I realize how important it is to walk in God's love always and walk in truth. I thank God everyday for forgiving me of past mistakes and guiding me to an awesome future and I thank him for the friends that he's brought to me that ill never take for granted. Someone once said " Your friends will either expand your vision or choke your dream" Thankyou for those who never choked my dreams.
