My Top 3 Spiritual Gifts Are...

......teaching, prophecy/perceiving and mercy for others. So, in a word for each I am in-depth, bold and caring. I can't say that I am all that surprised. If I go overboard I could: reveal truth, but exhaust it; declare truth, but divide Christians; not give wise insights, but foolish responses. I think that these gifts bear a lot of responsibility, particularly the second. That could go well or badly depending on the situation.

I'm anxious to start on lesson 2 next week, it goes farther into the type of personality you have. I suspect that I will find out that there is a good reason *why* the apostle Paul is my favorite (after Jesus).

Guitar Lust

I was thinking that if I really got into playing again, that I'd get an acoustic guitar or an acoustic/electric. So, just for fun, I decided to browse today to see what I could find. And none of the are cheap.

The Gibson Hummingbird is a nice guitar; so are the Taylor guitars; though the nice ones START at about $2,000.

GOOD NEWS!!

So, long story short and after years of believing and knowing that God is who he is (just like the demons). I have elected to received Christ for who he is and am now saved, saved, saved.

And now I am off to bed.

Psalm 127: Unless the Lord Builds the House

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children on one's youth.
Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

This is the psalm that hit home for me as far as the house symbolizes a marriage (or any other relationship). I feel that my marriage did not have God's blessing, He did not build the relationship as His opinion was left out of it. My pregnancy was unsuccessful, I think for several reasons: 1) God knew what was coming with Kenny & I, 2) God has a plan for my life that I don't know all about (yet), 3) children are a blessing from God (a blessing that I feel my marriage didn't have), ***Note that no. 3 only applies to me and my situation and not to anyone going through the heartbreak of infertility/miscarriage/etc. And just because I think it, doesn't mean I'm right!

When I read this, I knew it was okay to let go (in addition to: 1 Cor. 7:15), even though it still bothers me (and probably will, for life).
