Thoughts from the Heart

Thoughts from the Heart: "Thoughts from the Heart

Life can be can be a confusing place, and sometimes its hard to make sense of it at all. I have found that writing out what I am feeling in the form of a 'poem' or as I call it 'the thoughts of my Heart' helps me to process and express what I am feeling. I will post those thoughts here and it is my Hope and Prayer that you find encouragement and hope as you travel this journey of Life. What makes your Heart come alive?

mediabistro.com: TVNewser: FNCers Kidnapped In Gaza: "FNCers Kidnapped In Gaza: 'Pray For Their Release. I Will Keep You Posted' --Moody
FNC senior VP John Moody's internal message to Fox News personnel about the kidnapping:

'The rumors are true: two of our employees have been abducted in Gaza. We will report this fact via our Israel correspondents. Do NOT do any other segments on it. Do not book guests on this topic. Do not comment officially and of course, not on the air, about it. DO pray for their release. I will keep you posted.'"

"thought for the day??!!!" from Rita Korch

With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and
with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"
For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us....go ahead and delete this. For the rest of us.....pass this on.

Katherine Harris for US Senate

Katherine Harris for US Senate: "Florida GOP Chairman Carole Jean Jordan informed Congresswoman Katherine Harris this afternoon that a previous letter unethically leaked in today’s news is not applicable to current party beliefs. Further, Jordan stated that the Florida Republican Party does not officially endorse or take positions in a primary.

Representative Harris commented “this confidential letter was old news and Chairman Carole Jean Jordan has stated repeatedly this letter is not applicable today; further, Chairman Jordan said that she never expressed concerns about my campaign but rather the race overall against the incumbent. With a primary in process, the state chairman, the state committeeman and state committeewoman cannot endorse a candidate but all have stated their personal support for me.”



The Harris campaign continues to move forward while Representative Harris fights to preserve the sanctity of marriage and traditional values, to lower taxes, to help small businesses acquire lower costing healthcare and to ensure that illegal immigrants are not granted amnesty. Bill Nelson has voted against each of these ideals.



“It is high time for dirty politics and unethical leaks to be set aside so that the issues that impact people’s daily lives can be addressed,” continued Congresswoman Harris."

Activeword.org - Devotional: "Responsibility: Owns Up

Be sure to do what you should, for then you will enjoy the personal satisfaction of having done your work well, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct.-Galatians 6:4-5 (NLT)

Imagine if I went to the pulpit on a Sunday morning and said, Today's message is going to be a little bit different. You see, people kept interrupting me on my normal study day and so I had to bump it over to Saturday. But because my son had a baseball game that morning, which went into extra innings, I couldn't focus on the Word until late in the afternoon. And then, when I got to my office, I happened to turn on the T.V. and I saw that they were running a documentary on a band that I used to be involved with. Before I knew it, the time had slipped away. So I hope you don't mind, but today we're going to have a mini-message.

How irresponsible! And yet, this analogy contains three things that I've found we frequently do when our character is lacking in the area of responsibility: we'll find fault with others (people kept interrupting me), we'll cast blame (my son had a baseball game), and we'll make excuses (it was a band that I used to be involved with). But a responsible heart doesn't hide behind these rationalizations. It doesn't find fault in others, cast blame, or make excuses but, instead, owns up to its responsibilities. Christians with this kind of character recognize that they are responsible for the choices they make in life. They don't point to someone else or the circumstances they were born into.

In an age where 'passing the buck' has almost become an art-form, the family of God needs to do a better job of owning up and being responsible for its own conduct. When the world sees us do this, it will have more respect for and be more receptive to what we have to say.

DIG - What are three traits of an irresponsible heart?

DISCOVER - How do you respond when you do something wrong?

DISPLAY - Keep a running record of your mistakes and how you react after you make them."

8. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.

9. If you worry, you didn't pray . If you pray,
don't worry.

10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling
home everyday.

11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be
bent out of shape.

12. The most important things in your house are the
people.

13 When we get tangled up in our problems, be still.

14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.

15 He who dies with the most toys is still dead.


Have a great day!!!

The SON is shining and he

can certainly use you!

Tom Barron said he and William Eugene Seastrum were treated relatively well during the ordeal.

But there were times they kept 'coming in yelling and waving their pistols around,' Barron said by telephone.

Barron and Seastrum, both of High Point, N.C., were released Thursday after negotiations led by the FBI. Barron said the captors initially sought $500,000. A U.N. official said the men were released for an amount below $10,000. They had been snatched by gunmen Sunday on their wa"

FOXNews.com - Crews in Combat: Solid Professionals - FOX Fan: "I hope it's true what they say about the friends you make in combat — that you share a special bond for life. Ever since Israel decided to respond to the Qassam fire out of the Gaza strip with increased air strikes, my crews and I have been through a dizzying, frightening, and arduous few weeks chasing the soldier kidnappings and military responses. Sometimes we shout at each other. Sometimes we laugh until tears stream down our cheeks. Sometimes we are in a situation serious enough to strip you down to the core of your constitution. In the end, we get the story roped in and home to the viewers. My crews have been solid professionals."
