Easter Message.

Once there was a town called Perfectville.  It’s where everyone lived in a perfect society.  No one ever made a mistake.  It was always a perfect meal, perfect romance, perfect family, perfect government, etc.  Because of it being perfect there was no need for lawyers, doctors, nurses, police officers, etc. There was always happiness no sadness or anger because everything was perfect. 
One day there was a very tiny idea, smaller than the smallest thing you can even see with your eye, which came into this town of Perfectville.  It came in the night when everyone was asleep and thinking of a perfect dream.  This idea just happened to land in a boy's mind in his sleep.  He didn't know it affect him till morning time.  For being perfect meant to get out of bed and get ready for the day in a perfect way.  He woke up and was supposed to stretch, but not yawn.  Somehow he did yawn.  The one thing though about this, is that he had his own room, so no one else knew he yawned but himself.  He thought "Oh no I did something that was not perfect; I should make sure I don't do anything that is an error in my life."  He then did everything the rest of the day perfect. 
The next morning the boy woke up from his perfect nap stretched his arms and yawned again.  Along with that yawn he decided to sleep in a few minutes longer than wake up.  So he went back to sleep.  Now that is something that was definite not the thing to do in Perfectville.  For when the time says to wake up you are supposed to get out of bed.  He woke up and realized the error he had done.  This time he knew he was no longer perfect but was a flaw in the community.  He got dressed and went downstairs to his perfect family.  Little did he know that as he sat down his flaws were starting to spread little by little? This boy had two parents who were perfect in everything.  They noticed that their son was somehow acting differently. 
"Son, are you okay?" said the father. 
"Yes, I'm fine!" said the boy. 
Since the boy was not perfect, he lied to his parents, which was not tolerated in Perfectville.  The parents then went about their business and leaving him to his own stuff.  The boy was starting to be a definite bad influence on others.  He did everything that was imperfect.  I won't go into details in to what bad things he did.  It would take too long.
The town held a meeting on what to do about this boy who was being a bad influence of the town.  They were thinking of kicking him out of town to go about his business elsewhere.  Some were in agreement and others not so agreed with that decision.  Though during the debate going on, one man stood up and was not known very well but had seen what the boy had done.  He spoke in a kind and gentle way, "I would take upon the sins of this boy upon myself and suffer that he would still be able to be with the community and not have to suffer in the cold world all by his lonesome.”  The town thought about this and was agreed. 
The next day the man went to the boy and had a deep conversation with him.  The boy cried for tears of joy and happiness.  Later in the day the man went and built himself a cross and carried it up a hill.  The cross was laid on the ground and the man put himself on the cross.  The men of the town then nailed his hands to the cross and his feet.  They raised the cross upright in the ground.  He suffered up on the cross and died a few short hours later.  There was a terrible storm that was never known in the land.  After the storm had passed the man was taken down and put into a tomb. 
The man was in the tomb for three days.  On the third day a few of the men/women went to see him from the tomb.  They opened the tomb and found out he was gone.  They had gone back to the town to tell the people that he was no longer there.  A short time later the man, appeared in front of the whole town and told them," I had suffered for the sins of the boy.  I have also suffered for the rest of the world as well so they may know that any sin they do I will take it upon myself so they don't have to suffer so much and now will go up to my Father to live up there in Heaven." 
This man was Jesus Christ.  He lived and did many miracles while here on Earth.  He was the only perfect person that has lived here on Earth.  We are that boy who has sin and didn't want to be kicked out of the village.  Jesus suffered our sins and bled from every pore and died on the cross.  So that we may be from sin and death and to be able to live again with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and be clean from our sins. 
Have a great Easter!

My final thoughts on 10th Anniversary of 9/11.

I just want to end with some last few comments on 9/11 that just came to my mind these last few days.

Flight 93-  They had the courage to stand up to the terrorists from reaching their destination.  They knew from what they learned, that we down here on the American soil was depending on them up there in the sky.  As Todd put it "Lets Go!"  From what happened they saved millions of other lives here on the ground being killed.  They were heroes and died for what they did.  From that deal now we know that if a passenger is acting weird or in a threatening way they will get the notion that we will not let whatever they have planned happen.  We as the traveling public are more noticeable of what happens instead of just sitting back and relaxing back. 

     How things have changed over the 10 years:
  • More security at airports, by taking off shoes and having pat downs, not being able to walk to the gate to pick someone up or drop someone off, liquids to a 5 oz. bottle or less, for a time shortly after military presence with F-16 guns, having the federal government take over Airport Screening by hiring TSA Agents and making a new department (Homeland Security).
  • Being searched when entering Conference Center, City/Federal Courthouses, Attending any sporting events or any other big event to draw a big crowd.  Walking through a magnetometer and hoping it doesn't go off on you. 
  • A lot of patriotism shortly after the event and then went away a few months to a few years later. 
  • Had the Security Color Code from Blue being All Clear and then Red being Danger is imminent, but never quite got to Blue or Red only stayed in the middle Orange or Yellow.  Since it wasn't as effective as thought it would be they ended the Security Code and replaced it with something else instead.
  • For those who are Muslim or Muslim belief have been targeted as hate crimes.
  • We haven't had another 9/11 attack since then.
  • Osama Bin Laden been killed. 
  • Patriot Act is formed.Federal Government wanting to have more power and as the citizens of the US we have given up some of our rights and freedoms just to be safe. 
  • Terror attacks still happen around the world.   
In another 10 years it will be the year 2021, I'll be 46 years old then and I will remember what happened on that day.  Most of the young children will be in the middle adult lives and will want to know what happened on that day.  For those who were born after 9/11 won't really have a concept on why 9/11 is so important to us.  We will have to tell our children and their children of what happened on that day.  Its already in one of my school books.  This is an important event that happened to us, yes we need to move on, but we must never forget what happened on that day.  Make sure that the memories of those who died will live on in our lives!

     Will you still remember what happened on that day when it will be 20 year anniversary of 9/11/01? 


GOD BLESS AMERICA, MY HOME SWEET HOME!

National Prayer Day observance

This day, Thursday, is considered by the US government a National Day of Prayer.  No matter what religion you follow please take a moment out of your day and say a prayer! This was almost taken away by those who don't want to allow it to happen but, those who wanted to keep it won!  For the Lord gave us this land for a reason.  If we stopped believing and praying to the Lord then our enemies will take us over and use as slaves and torture us. 

Pray for our country, leaders, health, friends, enemies, and anything else you can think of.

Welcome to my first Blog

This is my first time having a blog on this site. I will share spiritual thoughts, holiday messages and that type of stuff. If you have any comments, suggestions, questions, let me know. Thanks.

This coming weekend is the 4th of July. Where we celebrate our Founding Fathers who gave up their lives to have this free country that we live in. It is sad that some of our people don't know what the Constitution, Bill of Rights are and that I feel that our freedoms that we so love to have are slowly being taken away from us. I'm glad to live in this free land of America. Were I can say what I want about the government and not be thrown into prison. Be able to worship how I want and not be dictated to worship a certain way. I'm blessed to live in this great country and as long as we remember our God will we stay free. God Bless America!!!
