Just Breathe

When my kids get really upset I sing them a song from one of their favorite shows, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. It goes, "Let's count down to calm down, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." Then at the end we say, "breathe" and take a breath.

I started doing this with my son when he was still a baby when he would be having a meltdown. The sound of me singing a song he knew always calmed him. Now my son does it with his sister when she is upset and hard to soothe. It instantly calms her just like it calms him.

In moments of my greatest anxiety I find that God always brings an on-time song to my mind and tells me, "Just Breathe".

In the end, its the breaths that we take that help us know that we are alive and remind us that we are loved by God and still within the reach of His grace and mercy.

So I leave with you today this thought,

God has promised to never leave you, nor forsake you and He can work EVERYTHING out for our good. So Just Breathe. It will be alright.

Podcast Episode 6: Activate Jesus in the Crisis

Happy New Year!

As promised the podcast is back.

In Episode 6 we are talking about activating Jesus in our crises. We often have them. I was in the midst of one when recording the podcast. When our boat of life is in the midst of the storm and we are being tossed to and fro we have to remember that Jesus is in the boat with us and that at His Word the storm will cease.

God's Economy - Heaven Only Knows

Man doesn't determine who goes to Heaven.

I know church folks believe the opposite of this but....

only God saves

only God qualifies

only God determines who goes to Heaven

Now that may not seem fair but you can't go over to someone's house and tell them who they can and can't have over.

Heaven is God's home so He can admit anyone He wants to.

You just have to get over it.

The price of admission is the blood of Jesus and the housewarming gift you have to bring is your belief and confession in the fact that Jesus died for your sins.

Will you accept the invitation?
