A WEEKEND MESSAGE

No I am not a religious fanatic and I do not claim to know much about the Bible, but I do not want this blog to be only about me and I need everyone to know that I am a religious person (just not a fanatic).

I am, however, a Seventh Day Adventist. You may or may not have heard about us by now. We were once known as a sect in society but we have earned our right to be called a legitimate religion- at least in some circles.

We study a series of Bible lessons during the week and I want to share them with you and will only do so on the weekends starting this Friday night and every Friday night after. I don't want to burden or bore anyone.

I will however stray just for this week:

1 John 2:1 "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous..."

This text basically gives us a kind of shield and fence from the temptations of the Devil. It lets us know that it is OK to fall short (sin) sometimes and that things like that will happen. And just like a criminal has a lawyer to defend him in court when he is guilty, we also have the Lord's Son, Jesus Christ, to defend us to His Father in heaven when we fall short of His Commandments.

He does not turn from us and leave us to perish. No, no, no, that is not our Saviour. Christ prayed and is still praying for us. He was tempted in all points like as we are , and having been tempted, He knows how to soothe and plea for those who are tempted.

Our crucified Lord is pleading for us in the presence of the Father at the Throne of Grace. He is making intercession for the most lowly, the most oppressed and suffering, for the most tried and tempted ones.

It is not about the religious group that we belong to. Those things will not save us. And it is not about how many times we go to confession. The Priest cannot save us. We have to come to Jesus on our own and ask Him to help. If we are in the habit of using a middle man (eg. a Priest or Pastor) then maybe the message will get lost along the way. Carry the plea yourself. Its quite easy. Like talking to your best friend on the phone. And its even easier than that, because Jesus already knows why you are coming to Him, all He wants to know is that you came and that you are eager to be saved.

Think about this over the weekend as we enjoy what the Lord has in store for us. And personally, I don't care where you worship. I always say, study the Bible for yourself. You cannot depend on man to give you the complete message.

Have a Blessed Weekend All...

Great Parent Web Site

I just cant figure out how to get this onto the blog, so i put it here. Its a great site that I found quite by chance because i have tried to remember how I got there and I can't. Try it. Its for both men and women who are parents. There are lots of experienced people there and most of them are really nice. I found alot of friends there and I am still making more than i have ever made in my 27 years of life.

More to come...

MY PRIDE AND JOY

This is my pride and joy. The reason I wake up in the mornings and the reason I work 24 hours a day to be with him and to cater for his every whim.

But there comes a time when all that I can take is just too little. He is teething again and I am afraid, not in a peaceful manner either.

This picture was take n when he was just three (3) months old and he was an angel then. But now that he is almost 2 (in September), I am now of the belief that the Devil has somehow passed his hand over my angelic child.

I know all the books say that all you can do is to just hold them and soothe them and so on. But be practical here for a moment.

He cries to the point where I get migraines...Dang!

And I still love him. How does that work?

He is a darling though. He will come to me out of the blue and say "Mommie, Lub You!" then lay a wet one on me and then its right back to square one. But I wouldn't change the way he is for the world. He is my angel, my miracle. MY GOD SENT!!!
