Support Chick-Fil-A Please!!

Let's support Chick-fil-A

Even the vegetarians should go buy something...give it away-just support them in any way you can...let's STAND UP for what's right when Christians are persecuted!

Recently Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy, son of founder Truett Cathy when asked by a Christian news publication about his company's stance on marriage and the family and some of the criticism they've endured said the following: Some have opposed the company’s support of the traditional family. “Well, guilty as charged,” said Cathy when asked about this opposition. “We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. We operate as a family business ... our restaurants are typically led by families – some are single. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that,” Cathy emphasized. “We intend to stay the course. We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.”

When asked again during a radio interview that followed, Mr. Cathy stated: "As it relates to society in general, I think we’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage. I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think we can try to define what marriage is all about,” he explained.Now national media outlets like the LA Times and Huffington Post, upset over his comments, have taken to writing scathing articles and editorials blasting Chick-Fil-A and Mr. Cathy as a bigot and hate monger and are calling for boycotts and protests of the restraunt chain; actions which have been supported by several gay and lesbian groups and now Jim Henson's Muppets. It is indeed a sad state of affairs when free speech and beliefs can be boldly and openly shared, just as long as they do not come from a Christian perspective. Mike Huckabee has since issued a call for "Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day" set for Wed August 1st in which he is inviting supporters to eat at their local Chick-Fil-A as a show of support for the company and their founders the Cathy's. I'm not usually one to get involved in these sort of issues, but you know it would have to be Chicken Nuggets to draw me off the sidelines; you don't mess with "Chick Ole" as my kids call it! In all seriousness, I was truly moved by the humble and truthful approach that Mr. Cathy took. He merely stated his own conviction, one which I fully support, and as such has come under attack. I would encourage you all to not only participate next Wed, but to keep this company and it's founders in your prayers. If there was ever a "Support Rally" to get behind, this is it! You won't find a tastier cause!

Jesus The Righteous One

I love this:

In RIGHTEOUSNESS....you will be established....THINK about it.....we are ONLY righteous IN Christ.....are we IN HIM and HE IN US?

How amazing to KNOW that when HE abides in us and us in Him...we can be secure in the knowledge that we are FREE from Oppression, fear, and terror.....no matter what this world throws at us-even unto death.

To know that Satan can't steal our soul, and only our joy IF we allow it.

All our choices are ours to make!!

Choose Life. Choose joy. Choose obedience. Choose trust. Choose Forgiveness. Choose the fruits of the Spirit!

"In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee."

Isaiah 54:14
The King James Version

THINK About It!

"Get Out of That PIT!"

"eat......sleep.....run.....PRAY!"

"Want something to carry??? Carry a song of Praise in your heart, mind, soul, and the rest of your load will be LIGHTER!"

We all have an emptiness, a searching for something to fill that emptiness.
We are created to serve God, and we can only be complete when we have been reconciled back to our Father God, through Jesus Christ, the Son,and be filled with His Holy Spirit!
I'm here to tell you that ONLY Jesus Christ can fill that hole, that thirst, that hunger!

We Are The Jewels That God Loves So Much!

Treasure of Clay

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4: 7

You may look at me and see just an ordinary person, rather petite, auburn hair, blue eyes, and small frame.

but I am also fearfully and wonderfully made by my Maker. My Creator. My own personal designer.
I am an original. There is no one else just like me.


 "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before

you were born, I separated you for Myself. I have

appointed you to be a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah
 1:5




"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, Plans for your welfare, and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11


Malachi 3:17. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of
hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that .


We are very precious in the sight of our Maker, God of all creation. We are His Jewels!


Our Time is valuable.....spend it wisely. Our time is like our money-we can spend it foolishly and have nothing to show for it, OR we can spend it wisely, making the most of every moment for His Kingdom, for our own treasures in heaven where eternity is infinite.

Negative "Friends"

Sometimes we become friends with those who are a negative influence on our character building. We begin to hang out with a person whose values differ from ours. Maybe we can help them;
show them the truth, sometimes we can, sometimes we can not. It's crucial, however, never to forget that influence goes both ways. At times we can be under someone else's influence far more than we are influencing that person.
 Most of the time, we don't even seem to be aware that we are being negatively influenced! We just sort of adopt their ways of thinking, and as we begin to think like them, we begin to act like them, talk like them, do what they do and so on. THINK for yourself! Be what GOD intended you to be, don't become a replica of others!
If you, as a young person, find yourself being influenced by anyone who is not serving God....stop, THINK, pray, and ask God to help you become strong in thinking for yourself, be your own person, develop your own character that is pleasing to God.
You will find more joy and peace than you ever could in being a copy of someone else!
The One we are created to be like is Jesus Christ......no other!
God BLESS you in your journey to becoming more like JESUS, the One Whose character is the PERFECT model!
