Lets Give Them Something to Talk About

I have always harbored a secret resentment toward the parable of the Prodigal Son.   I have always been the goodie-goodie and it never seemed fair that the one son got to go out and have all the “fun” and then come back and get a party.   I totally got where the older brother was coming from!   I would get so frustrated reading this story because I would think, they chose to go away from God, chose to go out partying and now they want to come back?   What about the one that had been true?   What about the good ones that have been here the whole time?   Why don’t we get a party?   Why don’t we get the robe and the fattened calf?   Now don’t get me wrong, I am always happy when someone comes back into the will of God, and overjoyed when a lost soul gets saved, but for some reason, I would get so mad because I was being selfish.   Well, I was thinking all this until last night when God put on my heart something heavy.   As I blogged about yesterday, we have a little 4-year old friend who

Right now I have a friend whose son is in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in St. Louis.   Her son is 4 years old.   He had a bad reaction to medication and is suffering from Stephen Johnson’s Syndrome.   This is a rare disease but is life threatening.   The little man (we will call him H) is having a very rough time of it.   He is sedated and heavily medicated but nothing seems to be doing what it is supposed to be doing.   The past two days have been extremely rough for him.   His heart rate has been high and he has had to start a blood transfusion.   They have been keeping us all updated via facebook and soliciting prayers.   Today, I am going to solicit prayers through here.   The reason that I do is because Jesus is the great physician and can heal all wounds.   In Luke 18:27 it says: “Jesus replied, ‘What is impossible with men is possible with God.’” Please pray for healing.   Pray for a miracle Pray for blessings on this family going through this Pray fro strength Pray for k

Acts 5: 1-11 1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”   5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.   7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she sai
