You may have wondered about why we are always
seeming to be so excited about the kinds of knowledge
that twitter is bringing our way of influence to a lot of people.
In one week a nicely sized church joined our ranks
as over 700 people joined drd4U, and we're a relatively
tiny organization, many of the stars of twitter reach
over 200,000 people a day- that's a lot of influence at
the touch of a key- wouldn't you say?
Yet as Jesus looked out, across the lonely
night hills of Jerusalem, he looked into
this future that he knew so well, and saw
the plight of the heart without attachment
that has meaning stripped from it. Jesus
looked at the lonely, looked at the popular,
looked at the poor, looked at the wealthy;
looked at all the people who were at stake
on whether his decision was right. Now just
because we can, let's pause and get our
perspective correct for this next statement:
There at the end of that entire universe the
creator stood- and reached his decision before
any other decisions were made:
Jhn 1:3 All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing made that was made.
Now that we've got the perspective about right,
let's understand this one sort of odd part of this,
you are in every letter of John 1:3!
Have a great day

Some Things God
It was a quiet night, there weren't any clouds out, the stars were overwhelming in their number and brightness, and it was still. No wind, very little noise, 1 A.M. in a small rural southern community. There in the stillness of that moment is when God, the supreme creative maker of all, chose to break into the life before Him, and totally astonish my humanity. The first impression He gave me had to do with finite resources, and infinite need. We aren't handling those real well, which is where God kicked it off at, and then He did this amazing thing, He let me know that He knows that this is what we face and that I should begin to see the problem from another perspective. Now to my mind, at the time, that perspective seemed so, beyond, anything that would make sense, and yet, suddenly and with overwhelming power, God introduced me to just a smidgen of the sorrow that he handles, as the tears welled up inside me, the reality of people perishing for lack of needs being met, hit home with a full force. The second thing God showed me in that instant, is that He communicates with clarity to the human heart that is ready to understand the enormous amount of trust He has in us. Consider this from the Bible:
Please check MGR out
| Luk 12:48 | But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. |

Better and Better
This is a transpost, which may not mean a whole lot to you, but it is being written from my browser, not a special program. The browser for the internet, called iGoogle, is a trademarked device that interacts with all my messenger services for social media, all at one time. This makes it possible for me to post this blog wherever I can access a computer and an internet connection. This is one of the advances that are now part of what is called Web 2.0, which is changing the world. The world as you knew it is changed forever, you can believe that, just as you can believe that there are now several forms of cancer which are cured, there is sight being restored to those who are blind via mechanisms of technology, and hearing is being restored. Limbs which are prosthetic are intelligent and capable of interacting with the user. It is an age unlike anything that has existed ever, and you are here to see it. Now tell me once again that you don't think there is anything to creator God? How can people see the world that is coming and in fact is here as we speak, and not be cognizant of the fact that it isn't just a matter of any cosmic chance whatsoever. God is in this world making things happen. By faith I look as did the believers of old that are spoken of in Hebrews in the New Testament: Hebrews 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
