Thanks to Ted and Ann nd tom and Carolyn for this good message on Guidance:
G U I D A N C E
Dancing With God
When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".
"God, "u" and "i" dance."
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead...
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.
This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life,
please share this message with someone else.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
so let's continue to pray for one another.
And I Hope You Dance Through 2009

where the Grace of God will not protect you."

Thanks for reading my blog- Please comment!
Believe me when I tell you that I appreciate all who read my blog, but I would appreciate a few comments. The "How to Comment" section in the top left of the Blog homepage instructs the way to comment.
It should be easy to do so, but if not please let me know your experience at commenting if you have tried. I am certain that my young guru, Shawn Baird, will help me make it easier for you. My good friend, Clay Vice, has added to the number who visit, but I would like more comments on a given topic- agreeing or disagreeing.
Thanks!
Sam

You Could Have Heard A Pin Drop !!
GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!
YOU COULD HAVE HEARD A PIN DROP
When in England , at a fairly large conference, Dr. Condi Rice was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush..
She answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not
return."
You could have heard a pin drop.
There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking
part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?"
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships;
how many does France have?"
You could have heard a pin drop.
A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those
countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans
learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?"
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."
You could have heard a pin drop.
AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE..
.
Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."
The American said, ''The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it..."
"Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in
France!"
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look.Then he quietly
explained, "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."
You could have heard a pin drop.
If you are proud to be an American, pass this on! If not delete it.
May The Lord Bless and Keep You Safe in Your Everyday Endeavors !!!

Muslim or Christian? John Massey E-Mail
Thanks John,
All the things we wonder about this US president can, or will, be denied without malice by those accepting the denials. I read a recent interview of him while on No. 1, and it was all spin in so far as I read. A few words that appeared to match the question, but an underlying thread of campaign rhetoric.
Sam
This came to me from a Jewish friend. John
Michelle Obama's trip...Interesting Information!...It
explains a lot!
I was at Blockbusters on Saturday renting videos, and I
was going along the wall and there was a video called "Obama". I told the
men next to me that I wouldn't waste my time. We started talking about Obama.
These guys were Arabs, and I asked them why they
thought Michele Obama headed home following her visit in France instead of
traveling on to Saudi Arabia and Turkey with her husband. They said she
couldn't go to Saudi Arabia , Turkey or Iraq . I said "Laura Bush went to
Saudia Arabia , Turkey , Dubai ." They answered, "Obama is a Muslim,
and by Muslim law, he would not be allowed to bring his wife into the
countries that accept Sharia Law." Just thought it was interesting that the
Arabs at Blockbuster's accept the idea that we're being led by a
Muslim who follows the Islamic creed. They also said that's the reason he
bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. It was a signal to the Muslim world.
Just thought you would like to know. Odd, I thought HE SAID he was a
Christian. Now hewouldn't lie to us would he?

Introduction to Christ from Ramey Hoskins 6-3-09
This is powerful. Thanks Ramey! To all my blog readers: I am inept at adding links to my blog. You may have to type this one in yourselves, but it is extremely worthwhile to do so.
Sam
I sent this around perhaps 3 months ago ... it came by again and I wanted to send it our again!?!
> This is awesome!!!!!!! Not only the intro but the crowd reaction!!!!!!
>
> This is Steve Harvey, a comedian, addressing a secular audience. The

>
>
> It's hard to imagine that this is a comedian and not a preacher, and

> because...well, you'll see.
Oh wouldn't it be wonderful if Steve Harvey could replace Jeremiah Wright!
