Blessed greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Well, we find ourselves in the middle of the summer, in the middle of the year 2015 (and prayerfully, I find myself in the middle of my life). It has been my observation that the majority (present company included) are usually spending more time dwelling on past exploits of life's journey or looking to the future, be it dread or hope, for what's next over the horizon, while neglecting the present position in the midst of the two tenses. |

No Ordinary Storm Mark 4:37-39 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the
ship, so that it was now full. |

Isaiah 43:21 The Message (MSG)16-21 This is what God says,
the God who builds a road right through the ocean,
who carves a path through pounding waves,
The God who summons horses and chariots and armies—
they lie down and then can’t get up;
they’re snuffed out like so many candles:
“Forget about what’s happened;
don’t keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. |

 It is my prayer that this entry finds you at peace and free. As we, in America, are on the precipice of celebrating our independence, it should behoove us to take a moment to truly reflect on what our freedom means. Surely as we embrace such noble notions of obtaining “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”, we should also realize all of the other elements that make freedom and independence such the revered concept. Accountability, responsibility and piety are other characteristics which should be harmonized when we raise our voices to declare our independence. |

The other morning while spending a rare moment with my wife, we observed the aftermath of the previous days' "Breaking News" of another gunman invading a school. We were just discussing how "Breaking News" usually meant bad news. We then, as we all seem to do these days, were glued to the set, observing the images of the scene at the school. The good news was this time the results would be different. A true to life heroine emerged -- Ms. Antoinette Tuff with some everything-but-tough-talk. She somehow talked this young man down from his escalated murderous and suicidal state, so much so that the gunman gave himself up to authorities. First impressions were: 'how did this woman do such a courageous thing' and 'how did she remain so seemingly calm during such an ordeal' and 'could such steely confidence be taught to others'. Then we observed the not-so-secret to Ms. Tuff's success -- outside the school there was a circle of people holding hands praying intensely. Say what you will, and I am sure people were praying at Sandy Hook Elementary and during other horrendously tragic events, but this time, by the grace of GOD, the results were much different and it must be highlighted properly -- prayer changes things! Now that's "Good Breaking News"! And , yes, for the better! Oh that humankind would pray and not faint! |

 "But seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you" Matt. 6:33
"Jesus wept, Amen!" With no real reverence, hunger, or expectation, but rather a "There God, I prayed" kind of prayer. Many of us would never pray this kind of prayer intentionally. And yet, in the business of the day and the demands of life (High stress jobs, family demands, social functions, school, Church offices and events, household projects, relationships and the list goes on) We can easily find ourselves drifting into a state of praying out of obligation rather than admiration. |

Deu 30:19 "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;"
 Our lives are a culmination of the choices we've made. When faced with a challenge, we can choose to speak life into them or to speak words of defeat (death). God empowered us with the ability that no other creature on earth has and that is the power of Choice! |

Rom 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Today, we are a product of yesterdays thoughts. What we become tomorrow, is determined by how we think today. Imagine that you have the power to change your current situation by how you "think".
Look around you! Everything you see began with a thought: That chair, the picture, the table and yes, even the tree and the birds all began with a thought. |

Pro 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Our words carry POWER! With every word we speak., we have the potential to manifest fruit of Life or of Death. Each originate from a place of faith or fear and our words have the power to produce the fruit of either.
Because we were created in our Daddy God's Image, he incorporated the God Gene of "Power" by the spoken word:
Gen 1:3 "And God said |

3Jo 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
As the heartfelt words of one who knew all to well that prosperity is not simply the abundance of currency as some might think. However, that true prosperity is found in the quality of life itself and incorporates the total man: mind, body and soul. And that this particular life (Zoe) is found in Christ.
Jhn 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly. |
