Why are only WE frowned upon???

Why is it that homosexual activist can start protest and advertise the rights they want to have. They can say anything that is on their mind and share their opinions openly. But the moment a Christian shares what he or she wants to say people look down on them. Why is it that we as Christians are looked down upon if we protest to defend rights we already have. Why is it that we as Christians are looked down upon if we practice our freedom of religion, a right granted to us by the constitution of the United States of America out in public. Why do people want to shut us down and have us worship only in our churches pray only in our homes. Why can’t a child pray in school and give thanks for the food he is about to eat during lunch time? Why is it that ONLY the things we do can offend others and we have to limit our actions. Don’t they think that the actions that others take in PUBLIC offend God why aren’t others frowned upon and told to take their actions to their homes? Why do other groups have more say in society than us Christians?

Why is it that a country that was formed with a Christian back bone is going down financially little by little. Hasn’t anyone noticed, as they have slowly taken God out of the country, other parts of our successes as a nation have diminished. This county stood strong next to Israel and still defends them today and this is one reason that God smiles on this country. But as they slowly strip us of our rights we can see how slowly the country starts to lose its power.

When is it going to stop? When are we as Christians going to speak up about how they try to shut us up and take the rights we already have? When are we going to wake up and realize that we need to speak up and let the truth be told. We have a universal recognized human right to practice our belief. All the while other groups who have no universal rights keep getting more and more rights in the USA. Think about it, make sure to pray about it. Because it’s a sad truth, that when we speak the word of God we are told it has no place on our streets. But when someone holds up a sign against God it is perfectly fine.

Taking Pictures

7We live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7


I always take a camera with me on fishing trips. When I get home and wash my boat and clean my fish only those who were in my house saw the fish. That is if I did not clean the fish at the dock in which case no one but those who were on the boat or at the dock saw the fish. So I have to take pictures in order to prove the fish we caught to my family and friends since fishermen have such a bad reputation regarding the truth of their catch. Everyone wants to see to believe. But God asks us to believe by faith, can you imagine if God were to appear before you right now? You would probably think you’re crazy because we could not handle such a thing, so he rather us just have faith. Faith is something so powerful, it’s the only thing that can lead us to salvation. After we accept Jesus as our savior and ask for forgiveness of our sins, it’s the faith in Jesus that guarantees us eternity. So the next time someone asks you why you believe in God if you have never seen him. Just take a picture of your life and show it to them because the change in your life is proof enough. I will continue to take pictures of my fish for my album if you want to see them. Oh and by the way, it is true the “big” one always gets away.

God bless,
Jesse

It was only a DREAM.....

So last night I woke up about 1million times. I had nightmares all night long but I can only remember one of them. See last night while I was trying to sleep I had a dream were I was driving my car down the road ( I think I75) and all of a sudden there was a huge log just sitting in the middle of my lane. I noticed only my right tire was going to hit it so I tried to center myself and run it over with both tires because at the speed I was going and the size of this log if I only hit it with one tire I knew I would flip. Well I tried to react in time but just missed hitting it with my other tire. What happen next in my dream was crazy, my car started to turn on its side two tires and began to skid on two tires ( it should have flipped) I held on to my steering wheel as tight as I could and tried to regain control of everything but there was only so much I could do. I do however remember just thinking of God during this whole ordeal and feeling he was in complete control. I was not nervous or scared I actually felt peace in the middle of all things. This dream was very vivid I could see everything happening in slow motion and even see other cars behind me at times. Well as I skidded on two tires, I felt the rest of the car coming down until I was on all 4 tires and regained control. I remember thanking God and kept on driving without skipping a beat I didn’t even pull to a side. This all happened in darkness it could have been early morning or at night but there was no sun out.

I have no idea what this dream means, could be something could be nothing. Maybe it was Gods way of letting me know that there is about to be a speed bump in my life and not to worry because he will be in control and I will not skip a beat. Bottom line is I don’t know what it meant and I ask that you who are reading this to pray for me incase it’s something.

What do you think this dream meant????

God bless you guys,
Jesse

ps. thats not my room... but i have the same bed and night stand lol cool i found that pic on google ha ha ...

I received good news today

So most of you know or saw me at HS camp on crutches. Well I actually got completely off them yesterday and my foot is feeling much better. Today I had my Doc apt and after some X-Rays I was told that I had some inflammation in nerves in my heel and had mild tendonitis. It has been getting better little by little praise God so the Doc said it should be fine in time. I Just cant run or jump on the heel or put extra pressure on it so no working out legs for a while now lol. The Doc didn’t send me any meds but the Doc I work with will be scripting me something that will help out.

I want to thank everyone who prayed for me especially my new friend Scott. I know he must have been praying hard both him and his wife Shannon. I know Scott has been through a lot with his ankle and achilies problems. Almost every day if not every day Scott told me he was praying and I know it was because he has been there and is there with his problem and would not want that on anyone else. Thanks Scott and everyone else for your prayers it was those prayers to our living LORD that healed my foot a little every day.

And MOST of all I have to thank God because no matter what situation I am ever in I can always seem to smile and find joy in Jesus. I look back to the past years of high school or middle school and never could I say that I was happy in middle of problems. Thank you Lord for the peace you have given me in the face of problems. I love you JESUS..


GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!!
