WINNERS vs LOSERS
The winner always has a program.
The loser always has an excuse.
The winner always says, “Let me do it for you.”
The loser says, “That is not my job.”
The winner always sees
an answer in every problem.
The loser sees a problem with every answer.
The winner says, “Difficult but possible.”
The loser says, “Possible but difficult.”
When a winner says, “I was wrong,”
the loser says, “It wasn’t my fault.”
The winner says, “I must do something.”
The loser says, “Something must be done.”
Winners are a part of the team.
Losers are apart from the team.
Winner’s philosophy: “Treat others
as you want them to treat you.”
Loser’s philosophy: “Do it to others
before they do it to you.”
Winners never quit
Quitters never win!

Who is Jesus?
He is the First and Last,
The Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe
and the Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is, and He always will be …
unmoved, unchanged, undefeated, and never undone!
He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!
The world can’t understand him,
The armies can’t defeat Him,
The schools can’t explain Him,
The leaders can’t ignore Him.
Herod couldn’t kill Him,
The Pharisees couldn’t confuse Him,
and The people couldn’t hold Him!
Nero couldn’t crush Him, Hitler couldn’t silence Him,
The New Age can’t replace Him,
and Oprah can’t explain Him away!
He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, kindness, gentleness, and God.
He is holy, righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.
His ways are right,
His Word is eternal,
His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me.
He is my Savior,
He is my guide, and He is my peace!
He is my Joy,
He is my comfort,
He is my Lord, and He rules my life!
I serve Him because His bond is love,
His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
the power of the powerful,
the ancient of days,
the ruler of rulers,
the leader of leaders,
the overseer of the overcomers, and is to come.
And if that seems impressive to you,
try this for size.
His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
never forsake me,
never mislead me,
never forget me,
never overlook me and
never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody everywhere,
every time, and every way.
He is God, He is faithful. I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you’re wondering why I feel so secure,
understand this…
He said it and that settles it.
God is in control,
I am on His side,
and that means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!

Life is complicated. If we are alive and breathing, we are experiencing dilemmas, trials, and even tribulations. They’re no fun! Instead of stewing over, or fretting over our difficulties, it is far better glorify Jesus, our hope, and cure for all that is wrong. I don’t know how people go through life without the Lord Jesus. All of our challenges are nothing to our God, who spoke this whole vast universe into existence! As long as we are busy about His business, it is His responsibility to provide solutions to our problems. That’s an mighty good reason to be sure we are actually doing His will and work, and not following our own paths. In the book of Romans, Paul said that “…we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience.”
I don’t like problems, but I see that they are wonderful opportunities to rest and trust in Jesus. They grow my patience as I look to my Lord for His direction. As I encounter daily dilemmas and problems for which I often have no solutions, acquaintances, family, and friends get to see how faith operates. People watch us, ya’ know! Do I fret about the struggles, or do I flee to my Lord? If my responses are godly, my observers get the benefit of seeing how Jesus responds to the cries of His children. God will rescue His children in times of need. Wouldn’t a natural father rescue his earthly child? God loves His own children! We are his family!
We need to pray each day that our hearts would be upright and clean before the Lord and that we would obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Like the father with a son with a serious problem in the book of Mark (Chapter 9) I pray… “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.”
I want to exercise all the faith available to me! Romans 12:3b says, God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. (He used the same measuring cup for you and me, and Abraham!
Jesus said……. for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matt 17
We’re all somewhat tired and weary from life’s struggles, but we know that we have it great, compared to those without hope! Our God meets all of our needs! Let’s get out there and make a difference in lives, so that others who are walking in darkness can have this same hope that is within us. It is awesome to have such a gift, purchased by our Lord, to offer to others!

An economic tsunami has started in the United States. Thousands upon thousands of homes sit unsold, unemployment is rising, and everyone associated with the housing industry (realtors, home appraisers, loan officers, bank employees, construction workers, furniture sellers, appliance sellers, etc.) are being negatively affected! We see it crumbling around us right in our own communities!
The ongoing economic downturn in America means fewer cars, trucks, RV’s, motorcycles, boats, and other vehicles will get sold. It means stores like Lowes and Home Depot, which supply contractors, will decline drastically in their sales and profits. It means less tourism and revenue for the states, especially Florida, a vacation Mecca!
Americans are already starting to drop cable, internet, cell phones, lawn service, subscriptions, and other costly services, due to hard times. AT&T lost hundreds of thousands of primary home-phone lines in the several months alone. That’s huge! Read the rest of this entry »
