| I ran to the union today to see if there was a computer open so I could type a paper that is due on Tuesday. Spring break means that everything is closed this weekend and open in Monday. The nice people ant the information desk on the third floor said that could open the lab on the third floor for me. After about a hour or two of working on the paper I decided to go to Sandella's to get something to eat as I was waiting for my food when two girls walked up and asked my name. I told them my name all the while thinking do I know you. One asked how long I had been in the chair. I said I was born with cerebral palsy (cp). they asked if they could pray for me I said sure. We continued to talk and the found that I was believe. They proceeded to say you God ever wanted you to be in a chair (I love when a conversation starts like this because it makes it very clear to me they have absolutely no idea what they talking about), I go with it. After a while they laid hands on me and prayed all the while I am looking around thinking will someone help me please. They are rebuking cerebral palsy in the name of Jesus. After they finished one ask me do you I want get up right now and walk I gave an emphatic no (thinking hell no ok so I admit that thought was every Christ like but neither was their theology) Things to consider .1. When you use Isaiah 55:8-9 as you basis you need to be careful. If my thoughts and ways are not his thoughts and ways your may not be either. 2. The argument of God never intend for you to be in a chair or have cerebral palsy is crap as well. God allowed it. He may want me to take my first step without a struggle in front of Him in heaven. You need to talk with Job if you believe this falsehood. 3. Jesus never rebuked a disease. You can't use the story of the demons and swine in the bible. If you read it carefully he rebukes the demon not epilepsy or the man. I am always skeptical in situations like these, The began to talk about a friend of their who had cerebral palsy and how he was doing stuff the doctors never expected him to do. Well I am doing stuff the doctors never expected me to do that doesn't mean I am heeled. You don't know the effect of cerebral palsy until around 18 months. Look I just get real nervous when people start speaking for God and they use Isaiah 55:8-9 as the reference. Look heeling dies nit bring glory to God unless it is his will. Look at Paul he begged God to remove the thron from his flesh. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS A DISABILITY DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE THEIR PARENTS HAVE SINNED. This argument is such a cop out look at John 9:1-12. As Christians we need to be careful not misrepresent the word of God. God speaks for himself very clearly and does not need us to muddy up his word. YOU MUST BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO IN THE NAME OF JESUS OR IN JESUS NAME. | | |
| I don't usually talk politics on here but my time with God didI Peter 2:13-18 Disclaimer I in no way think that Christians should Condone sin. I having Said that if Christian don't act different than the world when it come to politics why do lost people need Jesus. It would be more helpful if we stopped complaining and prayer for leaders. | | |
| How are my stones?I caught myself asking the question posed in the subject line of this entry. I was spending my daily time with Jesus. I found us in 1 Peter 2:1-5. The first few verse reinterated the fact that it is God's kindness that brings us to repentance (yes that is a throwback to a old song). Better yet it is His kindness that helps draw al men unto him. Verse five is really what caused me to ask the question in the subject line. It says that we also are living stones being built up as spiritual house for a royal priesthood. I have been to a gravel bit before. Gravel is many stones. This gravel takes many years to naturally form. If gravel takes many years of weathering; how many years for stones? I began to think an the beginning stages in the life gravel it is very crumbly? Is the house I am building for God crumbly because I am not weaned from the milk to the meat? A lot of times I feel like I haven't even made to the milk. I am the still attached by the umbilical cord (which is not a bad thing because are being fed straight from God, but you can't go very far to share it with others), or I am starving to death. | | |
| 1 Peter 1:14-21In verse 17 I had to ask myself do I address the Father as the One who impartial judges according to each one's works? My view of this is that works don't save me. I cannot work my way to God, but I must remember faith with out works is dead. If I claim to have a relationship with Jesus then people should notice, and I should do things out of love for Him. I do not want nor did Jesus intend for me to have a dead faith. Christ over and over reminds us that his gift is free. My love for him should be partly if not solely based on the fact that when He paid for my soul He did not not offer up some kind of cheap pawn shop jewelry. His sacrifice is nonperishable. Thankyou Daddy for not requiring anything from me. You want me to give back to you cheerfully and willingly. I really desire to do this, but I need your help. If it is left up to me to be truthful "I" will go on about "my" , and completely forget or ignore your desire to live your life through me. I am admitting that I need your help. Would you please help? | | |

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"
