MONEY IS NOT THE HIGHWAY

Wednesday- I gazed into the sky,,, looking, and looking, for God! I saw the outline of the Moon, the Sun was warm on my face,, the white fluffy clouds just floated by with ease,, carrying a few gray ones with them,, no stars to be seen for it is daytime,, then a "just right" wind blowing a just "right" kind of breeze,,, I looked , and I looked! Then I saw a bird fly down to the ground, peck , then fly back to her nest, and feed her little ones,, a squirrel ran down a tree,, got a pecan, ran back up fast,, then stopped and looked right at me,, then I realized,, I had been looking at God all this time!

Prayer Request: For my former pastor,, Joe Allen who is retiring from leading the Centennial Association.. may the Lord continue to bless him and his family in this new area for Him,, for I know , in retirement, he will still be working for the Lord, for in that , he will never retire.. God Bless You , Joe Allen!
For our present pastors wife, Debs' mother who is sick,,,pray for her recovery also.
Gene Bachman,, who is still very sick, please pray for him and family.


MONEY IS NOT THE HIGHWAY

I turn on the T.V. and all the time I am watching,, there is a clip on how much the lottery is this day.. and not just one,, but many, many. I look at them and then I hear the President, and all the "elected" on the screen crying out how much in debt we are, then on a Sunday or any given time, I hear these evangelists on t.v. , crying out for all to come to the Lord(and this is good, to bring ones self) but bring your pocket books with you. Well if all would and could if they wanted to,, could knock down the national debt,,, send more missionaries to third word countries, and send thousands within our own nation, and all this could be paid in full, IF we all would send the money that is played on the lotteries,, and for one week send the money from the casinos of this nation , to a central place and distribute the sum out,, there would be no national debt, and like I said ,, missionaries would fill all of the cruise liners.. but , I know , who to send it to, and who would distribute it,,,, who to trust,,, human that is? It is a poor thought to realize that question.. just who..who do you send it to?
Then comes the time of tithing,, that money is like squeezing a steel ball,, you squeeze and squeeze , but nothing comes out,, but the lottery? Come on jump in, crank up and lets drive 10, 20, 30 miles and play , and play... Pant, like a hungry cat or dog for that "want of that big money",,, slobbering,, for it,, but when that hi-way of life comes to an end,, and it is time to go to the Lord, and through that eye of that needle,, well you know what is going with you,, right,, so if you are one of those who is on your knees worshiping that almighty $,,,, then

YOUR ARE ON THE WRONG HIGHWAY!

Lord, please continue to guide us down Your highway of life,, and realize that money is not the answer to happiness to any! amen

I know,,,, it helps,, but it can also lead to the downfall of one, if they fall in love with it,,, the love to fall for is that of Jesus Christ,, will you?
