The Majestic - Peter's Speech

"Do not tell me it can't be done."

Do You Have What It Takes?

In the world today, people really don't have a reason for standing up for what is TRULY right. Well, at least they don't think that they don't. We have a DUTY to stand up for what is right. No matter what the cost! Would you sacrifice for your country? Or more importantly.....................YOUR FREEDOM? Would you do what is right no matter what the cost??????? When Jesus was on the Earth.......he DID what was RIGHT no matter the cost! When will we FIGHT for our nation as a whole???? When will..."we the people of the United States....." stand up together and defend the moral COURAGE and FAITH of our country that our fore fathers created. They believed that a nation without God was not a nation at all. When will we realize this???? When will we unite as ONE????? We are......"One nation under GOD, indivisible, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL...."!!!!!!!!

When Will We Learn to Trust Him?

Some people think that they can trust God in everything they do. But, other people think that "well I'll just trust him with this,......and leave this to me." It doesn't work like that. In the Bible it says 365 different times to do not fear. So basically Jesus said once for everyday to not fear. If we have that assurance, we should be trusting him. That fact alone should be so reassuring that we should have no fear. No one in perfect. There will be times when you will be afraid. But God said..."who of you by worrying, can add a single hour to his life?" Matthew 6:27. What he is saying is....how will worrying help you???? Bad things are going to happen......so why are you worried about it in the mean time? God promises a sound mind. When we learn to trust him, there is such a freedom and peace of mind just knowing that he died for you and he will NEVER give you more than we can handle! The Bible says that God knows what you need even before you say it! "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. And before you were born, I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet of the nations." Jeremiah 1:5. God is always with you and you can trust him. If someone cared enough to die for you, you can trust in him

Hello everyone.....today I would like to discuss the art of dieting and exercise. Ah.....losing weight...so worth it...(in the end) #1 dieting....you wake up in the morning and say.."I am not eating anything today......" yeah right. Until it rolls around to lunch time....and instead of having the wonderful steak you made yesterday........you little voice says....."eat it!!!....eat it." On the other hand...."no! what about my weight loss commitment?" UUUUUGGGHHHHH!! "Is there no mercy????!!!????" #2 Exercise..........you have all the equipment ready...including a video. You put in the video and a perky and annoyingly perfect woman comes on and says...."are you ready?"....... You're thinking......"Well, she's gonna get annoying really quick." She continues........."OK......lay on your side on your mat and lift your right leg over your head. OK.......so what shes really saying......"lay down on the rock hard floor, and attempt to lift your right leg up that you can't even see over your Mount Everest love handle. #3 Continuing the exercise video............ After the longest 30 grueling minutes of leg lifting..(well at least leg collapsing) the woman on the video is perfect.....her hair hasn't moved....there's not a drop of sweat anywhere, and she's breathing regularly. However your hair looks like you got electrocuted, you are absolutely sopping wet, like you have just come in from a monsoon, and you are using inhaler's and paper bags just to get breathing again. #4......After your horrible day of exercise....its dinner time!!! Oh boy there is nothing like a succulent, juicy, flavorful, delightful, .................................celery stick. #5 The next day....it starts all over again...the annoying woman, absolutely no food to speak of......and the flies dieing from being around you.........a friend comes over for dinner and brings candy, cookies, and a three course meal. "I can't what about all that I've done.." and you look at the food....."eat....food......MUST EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" You tackle your friend to the floor grab all of the food and absolutely scarf it down! "What about your diet?" she asks. "I'll start on Monday." Thank you.

Hello everyone, I am now going to discuss a pressing subject in my life at the moment. The common cold. Ah.....don't you just love being sick.......#1 You feel it coming on so, you take every medicine ever invented. And not one of them works. #2 When you are congested..................you buy the store out of tissues and hankies and ask them when they are going to restock . #3 Whoever invented cough medicine should be drug out in the street and shot...........although they probably coughed to death because it didn't work. (Sorry, had a bad night last night.) #4 When you feel so dizzy, you sit up in the morning and feel a little better......and then you stand up.....and I guess the altitude was different from the bed to when you stood, you collapse flat on your face......and fall asleep. #5 When you are so tired that you get up in the morning, remember you're sick and give up on living and throw the covers over your head. #6 When you are all of these things at the same time..............you wake up in the morning, and forget who you are for an hour........when you cough and feel like you are one more cough from absolutely going out of your mind.........when you are so dizzy you look down the staircase and which of the three that you're seeing is actually stairs....(geronimo!) And finally, when you are so congested you breath out of your mouth all the time and people ask you......"hey I know...a fish right?!?"



-Thank you.

Funny Thing For This Week

Hello again ladies and gentlemen......today I am talking about a very important topic for today. The art of...............garage saling. Ahhh garage saling.......whether you are having one, or looking for the best bargain, these are the 'Do's and Don'ts' for garage saling. #1: when one is selling something such as a twin bed sized blanket for about $5.00....(which is OK) but when it looks like it has been malled by a pack of ravaging wolves and has enough holes in it to be used as a fish net......it shouldn't even be in the 'Free' box. #2: When you are having a garage sale, people can tell when it is your first one when you are selling everything from 1970 on. #3: When you go to a sale and the tables are full of everything but the clothes they are wearing, such as decapitated barbie dolls, a shirt that grandma moses threw away, a "brand new tooth brush", (yikes) trinkets, a phone from 1903 with only the ear piece.....just walk away......#4: When you are having a sale of your own and someone has a question about lets say a blanket that has some wear and a couple of stains.....you say..."well the stain is very easily removed and we don't own any pets.." what you don't say is..." yeah, two of my kids threw up on it, we took it to use on our picnic, where my son rolled his sister in it and dropped her down a ravine.We own two great Danes, cute little things, they played 'tug a war' and the looser fell in our pond with the blanket. I folded it up and we used it for a door mat for a while, and when I couldn't do laundry I dried the kids off with it and then we kept it in the dog house for a while. even though it was hard, we finally decided to part with it. ...........*crickets* .........The woman drops the blanket and sprints to the car in horror and drives away. #5: Finally, you go to a sale and you walk by a doll you give it a split second glance and make a gross face. A older woman comes to you and says, " I got'er in 19.......uhh..49 I think and she is part of a collectors addition, she's in pretty good shape".....Then you look at the doll again.......one eye is gone, herleft arm is hanging off, she's wearing a chewed up hat, one shoe that looked like someone had ketchup on it, her hair is jaggedly cut on one side and its naked. You calmly say without bursting out in laughter,........"uuhhh, I'll think about it......" You go to your car, shut the door and burst into uncontrollable laughter. The old lady looks at you in the car and talks to her old friend and says......" That's the third person today that's laughed at my shirt."......................Thank you everyone!

What Does Being a Christian Mean to You?

When we think of being a Christian we think simply going to church at least 1 Sunday of the month, and making an appearance in the typical American church. But what about at home? In public? What we wear and what we say make a statement about ourselves. When you wear a cross necklace and a tank top and a mini skirt, what kind of example are you setting?
The people of America think that because they have proclaimed themselves a Christian they can do anything, say anything, and wear anything, but since they call themselves a Christian they are better than those who do all of the same things but don't say that they are Christian.
Paul Washer said to read the Bible on every subject of your life. If you have a question about what you are doing, the Bible is where you need to look. Give it a chance.
Most people think that the Bible doesn't apply to today. But what people don't seem to understand is, if God knew who you were, and he knows when your last day is.............why could he have not seen this far into the future????????????
People sometimes think that if they do a good deed everyday, (or every other...) if they have respect, obedience....etc......they think that they pretty much have it together. Then when they are questioned about their faith and love and relationship with God......they say "well, I love God......and I pray...." But they don't realize that it takes relationship with God.
When we Christians think of ourselves as more worthy of respect than those who are not saved. Like for example, when you see someone walking by with shorts that come far above the knee and farther and we think..."uuhhhhhhh.....those shorts look very trashy....." We need to stop and think about how we are judging people when Jesus forgave the prostitute, and the thief, the tax collector, the doubter and.......all the people of the world. But we can't seem to find the compassion in our hearts not to judge people we don't even know.....
"Live in the world, and not of it...."
Just think about this simple statement......
Even if you were the only person on earth.......Jesus would have still died for you.
Thank you.

A Quote For Today

It is a wonderful quote that fits into regular life.

Funny Thing For This Week

Ladies and gentlemen, in this segment, I would like to share this experience. Riding a bike. Ah,.........riding a bike. You put your helmet on. You try to swing your leg over to sit on the seat. You swing it all right,........and you then soon think to yourself....."I think I'm going down..." .....yeah. So after you crash to the ground.....you take a moment to get over your shock. Then later after ten more attempts, you finally succeed. Your riding down the hill. "Ahhh, that beautiful breeze......." (Going faster)..."Wow I'm goin' good!".....(Faster)....."yeah!!!!!!!!!!!"....(About 70 miles per hour)....."uhh"........eehheeeeee......(airplane speed)......."HELP!!!!!!"........(jet speed)......"Our God who art in heaven how would be thy name........thy kingdom come...thy will be done..............."AAA!!!!" After your face is one with the tree, you try to stand.....aahhh...(feeling yourself) OK,..nothing broken...ahh..well..Yeah, so nothing is broken except your bike. So you and your injured ego squeak back home on your deformed bike. Only one petal is left....your front tire is a triangle.....and you have to lean to the left side to stay on the bike....you come pedaling home...your helmet split like a melon...but....25 years later someone walks up to that tree and sees it..... now your face shape is now a monument and above it is a sign that reads......"Don't Drink and Drive."

Thank you all!

Ladies and gentlemen.....as much as I would love to share with you more joys about babysitting, I feel that I must tell about another joyful experience. Fishing. Ahhhh.....fishing. You are all prepared. The right clothes, gear, smell......etc. Then you cast. "Wow!!! I've gone so far, I can't even see it!" you thought. Then as you reel in, you feel something tugging on the back of your pants........"well, someones pulling something on me..." you think very stupidly.........."whats goin' on here??" you asked yourself.......you look back and see that you have given yourself the first self preformed wedgie.....After the very grueling task of unhooking your self and thinking.."well the first fish I caught was a dork fish." Later you cast again......you feel something....."I've got her now" you say..... you reel in and indeed discover you have caught something........half the tree from the other side of the lake.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen. And God bless God for making fishing a mans sport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What This Means To Me

This means so much to me! When a daughter of the King is not rich or a courtier, she still is worthy in the eyes of the true King!
When this commoner wins the Princes heart, not by beauty alone but by her beautiful spirit.

Thank you,

A love scene from Ever After

"The King Is Coming" By The Gaither Vocal Band

The White House Washington March 6, 1941

This is a quote word for word on the inside of a Bible given to- The Army Of The United States.

To the Members of the Army:
"As Commander-in-Chief I take pleasure in commending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the armed forces of the United States. Throughout the counturies men of many faiths and diverse origins have found in the Sacred Book words of wisdom, counsel and inspiration. It is a fountain of strength and now, as always, an aid in attaining the highest aspirations of the human soul."

Very sincerely yours,

*signature*


To think they thought of the Bible that way and spoke of it that way even to different religions, not to offend people, but to show them that this book is .."an aid in attaining the highest aspiration to the human soul."

A Quote From George Washington

"The smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself ordained."

-George Washington


You would never here that in the textbooks today.

Thank you,

Ahhhh... the joys of babysitting. Feeding them, bathing, playing with them, putting them to bed. Going home with the satisfaction that you have now become a human snot rag. ( Revolting I know) (Trust me on that one) Knowing that the flies are not gathering because it trash night. Knowing that the vultures are starting to circle outside because they smell a dead animal....knowing that one shower is never enough.

Ladies and gentlemen, these are the joys of babysitting.

Stay tuned for next weeks 'Funny Thing for This Week' segment.

Thank you and God bless babysitters!

Scriptures That I Love

Hello everyone, I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I wanted to share this wonderful scripture verse with you.
Visualizing what God intends to do in a given situation and acting in harmony with it. Hebrews 11:1
Antother great one is,
The moral exellence and purity of spirit that radiate from my life as I obey God's word. 2 Peter 1:5

Abortion

Hello everyone, I know that it has been a while. I really wanted to touch base with this next topic. Abortion. In our society, everyone seems to think that first of all its just OK to get an abortion, like it means nothing. No one thinks about what they are really doing.... Do people realize they are committing murder??? Because that's what abortion is. Think about it... Even if it is just a baby it is still a person! When a doctor is preforming an abortion he is a murderer. If in this country people are so politically correct....and we can't say Merry Christmas in school....but kill another HUMAN BEING its OK. A baby is still a person...and when someone does this, they are depriving that person a chance at life.

There are all these movie stars, TV reporters, and politicians out there who agree with the idea that abortion is a smart choice if you aren't careful.....when what you really want to say to them is...."what if your mother aborted you???????????" I mean if they love their lives so much than how dare they believe that its OK to take away someone Else's?????!!!????

In the bible it says that..... "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, a fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate." Genesis 33:5 ESV

So in simpler terms, children are a gift from God! And no man has the right to take that life away! This is what I believe about abortion.
Thank you.

Something to Share.

Hey everyone, I'm sorry that I have failed to really blog about big subjects lately. I have had a cold and really haven't been feeling well enough. So, I wanted to share another good quote that I really love and admire. "There is nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer." That is fromJames Doolittles. And also from the movie Pearl Harbor. I really think that it is very motivating to stand for what is right and work your hardest! ( That's really what that movie is about as well )

Watch This Video

I must say that I think documentaries are very interesting. But there is one that really stands out to me. Its called "A Nation Adrift". I think everyone needs to watch it! It is one of the most inspiring and eye opening films I have ever seen. It really hits on a lot of points that people really need to think about. It is by Vision Forum so you know that it will be good. I assure you, some of what is on that video, or most, you have never heard before. So you can find it on YouTube so please stop by and watch it. ( Please visit http://www.visionforum.com/ for more information.)

Thank you! :)

(See the video at - http://www.youtube.com/ - type in A Nation Adrift.)

Being Right!

In my last post, I combined the idea's of tolerance, President Obama, and how we could make this nation 'one' again. Well, I would like to break that up a little. And this time I want to talk about being right.
When people think of being right they sometimes think of just looking good or, they're best. Well, that's OK, but we need to stand for what is right and not care about what other people think. What if our founding fathers cared about that? We would not be a nation. When I say that, I don't mean they didn't care about the people themselves, but that sometimes they had to push certain opinions aside.

Among these disagreements are government, religion, and rights. When we focus on the subject of religion we find that our founding fathers were very focused on following what the bible says. They were considered wrong again by the public. But they did what was right and what they knew was their duty to their country. And that's the privilege of being RIGHT.

One of my Favorite Quotes

In one of my favorite movies I love this quote......"It's not that God allows bad things to happen, it's his promise that he'll be there with us when they do.." I think that quote is so inspiring and just so comforting.

-Amy :)

-(This quote is used in the movie- "Love Comes Softly".)

United We Stand!

In this country we sometimes forget about the hard times that make us stronger. Like 9/11. People just seem to forget. One word that is wrong with the people of America is TOLERANCE. People just seem to think that everything President Obama does is just ok. People need to be TRUTHFUL about what is REALLY happening. In these difficult times we need to stand together and make this country one again. To do this we need to go back to the fundamental laws and beliefs of our great leaders before us. We need to do the right thing even when no one is looking. One of my favorite quotes is "The hand that rocks the cradel rules the world".....and that is exactically what we need to do. When we realize these truths we will be again...."One nation under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for ALL."

I Believe

I believe that the Bible is the all inspired word of God. The Bible for me is the "book of answers". It is the very book that inspired the true idea of "one nation under God ". This very nation was made because our founding fathers believed in what the Bible stands for. This is my first post, proclaiming the truth of God's word.
