Happy Monday!
Instead of the inspiration coming from ME today… I’m giving you guys the SPOTLIGHT!
Let’s break the comment record on this blog site (something like 25 comments in one day)… EVERY PERSON, take a few minutes and write something INSPIRATIONAL!
Please tell us WHERE YOU ARE FROM… and something you’re LEARNING right now!
Ok… do it now! We’re all WAITING to be inspired by YOU!
UPDATE: our family vacation is still BLESSED! We had a super yesterday. Ended up watching Destiny Family Center online… transformational! I helped Emily make the BEST Key Lime Pie we ever tasted! Since the waves were choppy and not suitable for surfing, Coree and I boogie boarded in the AGGRESSIVE ocean… very fun! We had leftover BBQ with Sticky Fingers BBQ sauce for dinner… very tasty! Went to the old lighthouse to visit the turtles after dinner… pretty scary! lol (photo)
Today, we’re taking the ferry back to Ocracoke… gonna hit the beaches, look for shells with emily, swim (and MAYBE surf), eat junk food all day, read, walk the shore and talk to God, and who knows what else… I love my family!
Don’t forget to keep following us on twitter and facebook… I’m adding photos and status updates every few hours.
Have a super day everyone! Ohh… and please, EVERYONE leave a comment! Common, you can do it! I’m still waiting…
Here is a little inspiration from John Newton (author of “Amazing Grace”) about evil thoughts and temptations. I’ll just post the link instead of the entire letter…
Be Thankful That Satan Treats You As His Enemy!
Hey Lad I don’t see a link, but will try to google it
This is Nuala from NC. We need to pray, fast, and give. But, I am not talking about the “tithe”. I am talking about giving because the Holy Spirit led you to give. Give not out of obligation but because truly the Holy Spirit led you.
I was watching Word TV last night and heard this and was like wow, but was really like wow when I heard someone say that we can quit doing something, but doesn’t mean we are truly delievered from it. I wonder how many people quit something but aren’t delievered. I don’t usually go wow when I watch Word TV, but that really resinated within me. We have to get to the root of issues because the outter things we do aren’t necessarily the inner reason we do them.
Sorry Nuala. It seems to work for me.
Try this. If nothing else, cut and paste this in yout browser…

My inspirational thought for the day
“Never stop trying to do anything you love and never give up on someone that you love that needs your help through thick and thin. Keep on trucking along no matter how may road blocks you come across. You will get where you going in time”
Hope you all like.
BE LOVING TO THOSE UNLOVED,BE KIND TO THOSE UNKIND,BE GRACIOUS TO THOSE WITHOUT GRACE, AND FORGIVE THE UNFORGIVEN–JUST BE JOYFUL IN ALL YOU HAVE WHETHER IT BE SMALL OR LARGE IT IS ALL A BLESSING FROM HIM..SO BE HAPPY!!!!!
Thanks Lad. That was a great article. I am glad that I know what sin is and that my heart, ears, and eyes are open to it so I am not deceived. I used to be deceived, but not anymore. Thank you Jesus. I do know that I have to be aware of being deceived.
Thanks Nuala. A powerful and pastoral article indeed.
Sorry Chuck. We tried. Must be the nice weather…
