HEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!! I am drowning!!

I have fallen and I can't get up!! I am drowning in the abyss of the Internet. Who do you really ask advise from?  I cannot decipher who wants to help you, and is real, from: who is real, but could care less about you and only want your money???  Seriously. I am usually a very good judge of character (in person).  On the Internet I feel scammed and taken advantage of and I know it is my naivety and lack of experience with the WWW.  In Jesus time it was great because you had to be in person to buy sell or trade and with that I would have been fine. Please pray for me and everyone in the same predicament for insight, wisdomand patience to continue to strive onward to figure out this vast uncharted area!! I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

FUN, FUN, FUN !!! JOY, JOY. JOY !!!

I found that fun is referenced 55 times in the Bible !!! 29 of those are referring to "Making Fun of" which really stinks.  I thought that we could just have fun today after a long tiring week.  I got sad after reading all of those bad comments about "making fun of" in the Bible.  I was looking for permission to have fun and didn't find it there. So I thought, "Wow! I will look for Joy in the Bible and guess what? I found it 524 times!!!! Yippee!!! I guess I can be joyful today but maybe I shouldn't have fun. God, please give us all joy in our lives and also allow us to have some fun!! In Jesus name, AMEN.
I thought that I  would try and give you some games to play today just in case you are in need of a "FUN" fix.

Disciples 418 - Apostles 1040 - WHO WINS? We all do!!

Apostles referenced in the Bible - 1040 times, 
Disciples referenced in the Bible - 418 times!!

 All apostles are disciples; not all disciples become apostles.


After doing some research and reading, this is what I found in a secular dictionary:

DISCIPLE: a person who is a pupil or an adherent of the doctrines of another; follower: e.g.  disciple of Jesus.

APOSTLE: any of the original 12 disciples called by Jesus to preach the gospel: Simon Peter,the brothers James and John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew,Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, Judas Iscariot. 

I love having theological discussions with my 17 year old before bed because that gets me thinking overnight sometimes about what kind of Christian I would like to be.  Wow!! I have come to the conclusion I think would like to be an Apostle but believe I am a Disciple right now. Lord give me the wisdom and strength to make right decisions, and get off of the fence. I ask this in Jesus name.


Happy Birthday Dad!
