Growing in Spirit and Truth

This morning, I was thinking not talking to God...just reliving Christmas and revisiting some decisions I made and going about doing a few things around the house.  God always uses visual things to make a point to me and when I least expect it. .... God has told me many times that, I trust in me doing everything right, more than I trust "HIM". He proves this to me daily.... I had two choices put before me....we have choices to make everyday. And if you are anything like me, your choices sometimes will bring guilt. I'm thinking, I know I should do this but I want to do this....it's that "I place before you life and death" verse (Deut.30:18-20), I always hear at times like this. I know I should choose life but sometimes I just don't...at least that's what Satan screams at me. Look at what you just chose to do..now is that what a good Christian would have done..."NO"...absolutely not..he will say. Then I fall into the guilty hole

We have a seventeen year old granddaughter already on the road and now we have added a grandson. This can take my breath away if I let it!! I know as parents and grandparents we stay in prayer continually for our children's lives. But when they get behind the wheel, you can no longer follow them around and are not close enough to catch them when they fall. Well, our prayers go to a whole new level

Hosea 4:6..."My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee" Another verse we all know!! We are living in a world filled with destruction on every level. Yet, it is overflowing with knowledge. Well listen to this...I just looked up the meaning of knowledge on the computer. I clicked on several but one was the Wikipedia. It goes into detail of meanings. It starts off with the "Oxford English Dictionary"...it then says, "there is however no single agreed definition of knowledge presently, not even any prospect of one" I had no idea knowledge was such a complex subject! In the beginning, before Adam and Eve ate from the tree of "The Knowledge of Good and Evil", their knowledge consisted of knowing God. During this time they lived a life of perfection. But after eating from the tree, their lives changed dramatically. They now not only knew "God" (Good) but they also kne
