God's Promise

Genesis 8 and 9: A rainbow, "This is the sign of the promise I am making to all life on earth."

I'm not sure why, but I am so glad God promised that he would never flood the earth to destroy all living things again. Every time, when I see a rainbow, I will remember God's promise.

God made this promise knowing that all humans would be born with evil.

My promise to God: Always live in the likeness of the Lord.

Cleaning Up

Genesis 4-7

Message: God sent a flood to clean up the earth from all of the evil. We should be the likeness of God. We too can clean up our lives and help others. Lets flood our lives with his Holiness.

What part of your life could you work on and clean up?

For me, I am working on cleaning up all aspects of my life. Career, love, relationships, etc. I have a lot of work to do. Procrastination is my enemy. I need to work on things immediately, instead of letting them getting so bad, it hard to correct.

Putting God First

Genesis 1-3

This is a continuation of my previous post, "New Week, New Beginnings". There is no better way to start the new week than with the word of God. I'm starting with Genesis today. I have a mission to read the entire Bible within the year. I am also using a daily devotional by Joyce Meyer. Now, I just need to find a church that I like. I'm thinking of either going to the Catholic Church in Little Italy or St. Casmir's in Canton. We will see.

Message for today: Genesis 1:27 "God Blessed them and said, "Be fertile, increase in number, fill the earth, and be its master. Rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that crawl on the earth.""

Wow, what a message. "We are the master's of the earth." Really??? We surely don't act like it. We really need to take care of our little piece of earth that God has given each every one of us. Make it Godly and beautiful.

New Week, New Beginnings

I have got to get it together. I feel good, but I still feel like I have so many things in the air, I am afraid to drop something.

I had a wonderful weekend. My oldest son came home from college for the weekend and brought a couple of friends with him. My daughter and youngest son was there as well. I love having them all together.

I got some great news to start off my weekend with excitement. My tenants will be moving out of my house by the end of October. I will have my house back. I am truly thankful.
