For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
Romans 12:3-8
“I know God has a special purpose for me being here.” Have you ever said that? I know I have and I have been trying to find that purpose for the last thirty years.
I keep telling myself I know that God gave me a special gift and I just need to find it. I have worked in several different jobs trying to find “what my special purpose is here on earth.” And I have tried to be as involved in the church trying to find that special purpose and waiting for that feeling that tells me I have found it. I always believed that he gave me that one special gift and I have to find it.
Then a few weeks ago at church our most recently installed Pastor, Pastor John did a sermon on this subject and he started by saying, “do you feel God has given you one special gift?” He continued on and said how God has laid before us several different gifts and we just need to find one and work on making it ours, and he would be there to strengthen us and help us to do the best at that one special gift.
I must say once I listened to the sermon I was more confident than ever that maybe I can write and this just might be what he wants of me. I had been saying in my daily prayers “If this is not what you want me to do please let me fail so I can continue to look for the path you wish me to take.” Now I say “continue to guide me down this path, help guide my words and bring me to people that can help me in my writing.” He had done that one year ago when he sent me to the writers group that I joined, at first they were a group of about six to eight and now, well let me just say he has blessed the group and it is larger. There is so much help there I am sure that with their help I can become a better writer.
Last year though something happened that changed things and I did not write as much, I actually got to a point earlier this year where I took all my notes, rough draft and any drafts and put them away in the closet to send them to storage. No sooner did I do that though I began to come up with all these ideas of what I could do with my story, or should I say God gave me many ideas, I do believe he guided me back to it. I believe he guided me back for some purpose and until it is revealed to me I will continue to try and write stories, perhaps he has a plan for me to serve his kingdom here on earth with my words. I will wait until he lets me know: “for it will be in his time not mine.”
So dear friends let me say do not wait for your gifts to find you, go find them and know that God and our lord and savior Jesus Christ will be there to guide you the entire way. Remember he has many different paths four you to follow, find yours and take it trusting in him to show you the way.
May God bless you one and all

Failure
Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said “This man was with him.”
But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him” he said.
Luke 22:54-57
In the above passage Peter failed Jesus. Do you sometimes feel like a failure? I know I do.
As a Christian all I have to do is leave my cares and concerns in God’s hands and I know anything is possible. But it never fails, no matter what, once I mess up I feel like a failure and disappointed in myself and ashamed to face God. I constantly say, “Lord I will leave it in your hands, just lead me.” Then I turn around and fail, I know it is because I really did not let him lead and that I went ahead and said “No, wait never mind, I will handle it. I can take it from here.” If I would truly leave it in his hands I could never fail, as the saying goes “With him you cannot fail.”
It is of course human nature to keep control of every situation. Nobody else can handle it we are the only ones that knows what needs to be done. And that couldn’t be further from the truth.
We are all well aware of the great sacrifice our heavenly father made for us, and I know that whatever I ask he will answer.
I continue to shout out “Satan you have no control over me,” but I always open that door a little, and that is all he needs to take every opportunity I hand him, and so I continue to fail and close the door on God. I am very ashamed of this sin yet God continues to forgive me. What a loving heavenly father we have, after all that he continues to forgive me, so how come I cannot forgive myself? I guess it is harder to forgive ourselves than it is to forgive others.
We all need to try to live our lives as Jesus lived his while on this earth. If we did the world would be a much happier place to live in.
We should all make the effort to allow God to lead out lives trusting in his name and trusting that with him in control we cannot fail and do our best to not allow Satan in the door. I know I will continue to struggle with this and continue to be amazed of God’s love for me even though I am not deserving of it, and I will hope to one day love myself as he loves me.
But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him” he said.

Words can kill
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Ephesians 4:29
Yesterday I wrote about what I felt was an unnecessary attack on a fellow writer, and it got me to thinking how our words can hurt or kill a person's reputation. I began to think how what I said about the person who sent the anonymous email was a coward, and how that would affect that person’s character. I in no way apologies for the words I wrote as I meant them, but as a Christian I need to choose my words carefully and think about how it affects other people. Words can be a powerful weapon and all of us including myself need to watch how we use our words and always be mindful of that, of course this is easier said than done. I hope that my words yesterday were not taken as an attack on the person's character that wrote the email, but that is used as a learning tool and for them to grow within themselves.
We all need to learn to live together on this big blue planet so we must stop and think before we speak, how will this be taken by whom we say it too? Will they respond with an attack? Is what we say really necessary to get our point across, and can we say it another way so it is not confrontational. It is something everyone can work on and maybe, just maybe, if we all do this the world will become a more respectful place to live on again.
As I type this I am listening to Pink Floyd "Wish you were here," the memories of my youth flood back into my mind. I think back to the time I saw them in concert at Miller Park in Milwaukee Wisconsin though at that time it was called Milwaukee County Stadium. Everyone there was very respectful of each other, we all worked together to make it an enjoyable concert, we gave each other room on the grounds and even shared all of the items we brought to the concert, (of course it was a rock concert, and the 70's so you can figure out for yourself what that was) I was young then and had not yet come back to God. To me it seems things were much simpler back in the 70's but then everyone says that about the era of their youth. It would be nice if once again we all would treat each other with dignity and respect and listen to each other more, and as always I also could be more respectful.
In ending today's blog I would like to say… Oh wait, Animals is starting, let the memories flow free again. :)
So as I was saying in ending today's blog let me say: My prayer is that we all think before we speak, and consider the other person’s feelings before we say what we want to say, and if we still speak we must be prepared for a reaction and to defend our words. May they not hurt the person or kill their character.
Blessings to you this weekend

Freedom Of Speech
John 8:7- But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
Freedom of Speech, our founding fathers felt so strong about it that they made this their first amendment to our constitution. I felt compelled to write about this after I received an email that disturbed me from a member of the writing group I belong to. The Author, Dale is writing an adult Science Fiction novel I will not go into detail on it as this is a work in progress for him and I don't have permission to discuss it, but things are written that are considered disturbing.
From what he said, he was accused of writing Child Pornography from another member of our writing group. I may not have read as much of his story as others but from what I have read it has not bothered me, mostly because I know this is a work of fiction which as I am sure most of you are aware is defined as: An imaginative creation or a pretense that does not represent actuality but has been invented. The act of inventing such a creation or pretense.
The above definition states what fiction is and I understand fiction to be this, so I am in no way offended by his work. We live in a free republic and everyone has a right to say what they want, and anyone has a right to dispute what they say, I feel very strongly about that and I was upset that a member of the writing community took offense to his work.
As writers we should write things that compel reaction from our readers, but what made it worse is that this person sent their email anonymously and he was unable to defend his work, this is nothing short of being a coward.
If someone has offended you by their writing you should either stop reading their work or if you are going to attack them have the decency to give them the opportunity to defend themselves and if you find you cannot come to an agreement, agree to disagree and stop reading their work.
As a Christian I believe Child Pornography is an abomination and anyone who engages in this act has a special place in hell. I in no way believe this Author wrote this for someone to receive that type of pleasure from it, if he did I will leave it for God to judge him as it is written: Do not judge lest ye be judged. So as I said when I began this: Let those who are without sin cast the first stone.
We will all to be judged and nobody is without sin, so do not be so judgmental, and if you are have the decency to give them the opportunity to defend themselves.

Sunday a Day of Rest
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Genesis 2:2-3
Sunday a day of rest for many of us, or is it? Years ago all of us rested on this day, you would be hard pressed to find anything open, gas stations would close down no shops would be open and everyone spent the morning if not the day worshiping the lord. Not these days though, people are just too busy to slow down much less take a mere one hour of their day to go to church and reflect on their lord and their week. These days everything is 24/7, need to purchase something? Just go to the mall on any day, or even go on-line and buy anytime of the day or night it doesn't matter, someone will always be willing to take your money. Why not try something new and take one day a week and relax, don't watch any TV just be with your family and reflect on our lord. I will try as well to take my own advice as I tend to write on Sundays, as the weekend is the only time I have to write. But I will try to take some time and relax and not worry about putting in 100 words or two pages today. Will you?
Someone else who has always been there for you 24/7 is God. Is he really asking too much for you to come and visit his house one hour a week on the most blessed day, Sunday? I don't think so, but yet so many of us do have a hard time finding the time for him, and I am considered among them. There are days I wake up and just think I would rather stay home and have an extra cup of coffee, or just lie around the house, and I have. I always feel guilty when I do that, but I still find myself falling into Satan's trap that God won't mind if I take a day off. Does God ever take a day off? No, Does Jesus Christ ever say "I don't have time for you today, handle it yourself" No, he even went so far as to the cross for our salvation. You may ask why? He doesn't even know me; you couldn't be farther from the truth. Even on Sunday's he is there for us lifting us up when we need it the most. So if you ever feel like you are at your lowest point know that God our Father is there, and Jesus Christ has taken up your cross. So I ask you, do you have time for God. One hour that is all he asks do you have time. I hope so, and if you didn't go to church today, my prayer is that you do next Sunday or the Sunday after that, don't worry he will be there waiting. Just don't wait too long.
It amazes me how Satan is always after us to turn us from God and to not show the love he has for us to others. As I left Church this morning not two blocks from Church, a vehicle speeds up behind me and goes around me to the right into a turn lane then cuts in front of me forcing me into the left turn lane. I was going that anyways so no big deal but then he continued into that lane and nearly sideswiped me. Satan how he sucks because he knows my pet peeve is aggressive drivers, so not even 20 minutes after soaking in the lord I was enraged, I did drive alongside him and threw my arms up in the air, but he mouthed an expletive to me and sped away zigzagging in and out of traffic, as I did a slow burn. Not the way I like to feel any day much less on Sunday. Aggressive drivers suck. If you drive like that please for all our sakes slow down nobody is that important and there is no need to be in a hurry to your grave or to send someone to theirs.
Have a blessed day and may I end this with the blessing of the church: May the peace of the lord which surpasses all understanding be with all of you.

I went to a book signing today, a member of the writers group I belong to was selling his second book. It was an interesting time and I got to know him a little better, his name is Tom Alberti and he writes southwestern themes. If you like stories of cowboys and horses you should google his name and check out his books, I don’t know the titles off the top of my head but I am sure if you search his name you should be able to find him.
I was fortunate to read some of his writing and he is a good writer, I asked how long he worked on his novels and was surprised to find out he started in 2007 and already has two books published, wow that is something. He has a background in writing so that may have helped him but I wish him luck and I hope to one day to have my own book signing, but time will tell.

9/11 A Day of Remembrance
"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."
-Psalm 23
I just realized I started my blog on 9/11 and failed to mention anything about the day. I did not know anyone who lost their life on 9/11 but I pray we all never forget that tragic day. The day the terrorist of the world woke a sleeping giant, and that we never forget nor do we forget December 7th 1941 two days that will live in infamy. And we never forget all those who gave their life that day willingly and unwillingly for they are all true heroes.
There are many events scheduled today 9/12 regarding this current government, I don't agree with many of the policies of this current administration but we still have the best form of government in the known world. We the people must hold those accountable for their actions and not let the special interest groups steer this country away from Capitalism. I will stand with my fellow countryman and say enough is enough; we want our Government back and remind our Congressman and Senators who they work for.
I love this country and don't want our freedom taken away, so God Bless the United States of America, our service men and women and all who fought and fight today to keep our country free.

This is my first attempt at a blog, I have never done this before and I am interested to see how this turns out. What I will attempt to do with this is to dig into my Christian beliefs and try to give inspiration to those that may need it
For all we have has been given to us by our heavenly father and no power is stronger than our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
First and foremost I am a Christian, a Lutheran to be specific, I came back to God in 1985 and that in of itself is a story and perhaps one of these days I will share that with you.
Also I am an aspiring writer and I will document my attempts to become published, or at least get my stories written by established publishing houses or self publish it on my own. I would rather have an agent and a publishing house but time will tell how that works out. I leave it in my savior’s hands.
In 2007 I finally started to write my first novel which I had in my mind for some time.
Some would say that since I turned 50 in 2008 it was a mid-life crisis but I don't agree. If it was, it would mean my life was half over and I am too stubborn to go at 100.
Now, I did not go into this with blinders thinking I would put out a novel in no time and be God's gift to writers. I knew this would be a long adventure and I could very well never get it finished much less be published.
I have completed the rough draft at 150,000 words and now I am in the process of trying to get it polished and worthy of being published or at least to get it in print. I also am working on short stories in different genres as well.
I am a fan of fantasy fiction and I am writing a fantasy novel, I have created a world and have two new kinds of races not seen in print before.
My favorite Author is Raymond E. Feist I own the first twelve books of his Midkemia series and if I could be a tenth the writer he is I will consider myself a success, well really if I get published I will consider myself a success.
I belong to a great writers group in this small little hamlet of Arizona and it is a very diverse group with some members being published and others like me working on that first book. They are very encouraging with their input they tell me what is wrong but never say that I should turn around and get out.
Well that is all for today I think, I will update this blog as time permits and if some of you benefit from this I will be blessed. Thanks for reading.

I have completed the rough draft at 150,000 words and now I am in the process of trying to get it polished and worthy of being published or at least to get it in print. I also am working on short stories in different genres as well.
I am a fan of fantasy fiction and I am writing a fantasy novel, I have created a world and have two new kinds of races not seen in print before.
My favorite Author is Raymond E. Feist I own the first twelve books of his Midkemia series and if I could be a tenth the writer he is I will consider myself a success, well really if I get published I will consider myself a success.
I belong to a great writers group in this small little hamlet of Arizona and it is a very diverse group with some members being published and others like me working on that first book. They are very encouraging with their input they tell me what is wrong but never say that I should turn around and get out.
Well that is all for today I think, I will update this blog as time permits and if some of you benefit from this I will be blessed. Thanks for reading.
