Acts 20:24 "This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.

KoFFee_ (OP) User ID: 1373078 United States 11/19/2012 11:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So many of us take our eyes for granted. On my way to my friend's house, I usually pass a blind man who sits in front of a store, asking for money. I remember one time I stopped to talk to him. He asked me if I could go in the store and buy him a big Hershey chocolate bar and a hot coffee. I think of him often--how different his life must be without sight. We are truly blessed to have our eyesight. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 "This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:7 |
KoFFee_ (OP) User ID: 1373078 United States 11/19/2012 11:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Research has shown that people who feel grateful have less stress and depression. Seriously. My life seems to be so routine and mundane lately, that the battle against feeling depressed can feel overwhelming at times. Anyone feeling like their life is the same ole routine lately? Get up at the same time each day, go through the same breakfast routine, look at and listen to the same people each day, have the same work ahead of you, have the same roads to drive on, have the same bills to pay, have the same home to come back to, only to do the same routine at night before heading back off to bed. Yet, in the midst of all this routine "sameness", I still make it a point to be GRATEFUL. I am grateful that I wake up to another day, I am grateful that I have breakfast to enjoy, and especially a good cup of coffee. I am grateful that I have people IN my life that make it so much more interesting. I am grateful I have work. I am grateful I have a car to drive. I am grateful I am able to make money to pay my bills. I am grateful for the roof over my head. I am grateful for needful rest each evening. I really DO have a lot to be grateful for. But as I said, I am MOST grateful that God allows me another day in which I can choose to love.

Debauchery User ID: 15455863 United States 11/19/2012 11:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My children & of course my parents. They gave me everything..I don't mean material things. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |

cmoG530 User ID: 27886451 United States 11/20/2012 12:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Mark 16:16 KJV He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:6-9 KJV 6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Matthew 15:8-9 KJV 8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Acts 5:29 KJV Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. "The biggest sign from God, to let us all know that man can never be God? Death." - Anonymous |

The highlight of my day is coming here to listen to people whine about all their pointless doom bullshit or the daily conservative/liberal circle jerk or hear about how grateful they are or how god blesses them. Most days I just wish it was finally over and the doom would just happen already. |
