YO!

Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight

Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

Oh little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had came
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save

Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night

America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping

John 5:44 " How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and don't seek the honor that comes fromt he only God?"

-God i seek honor from men and not you... Father i want to believe and you be the only thing that matters... i want to live for an audience of one. Change my heart and actions God, don't let me just give you lip service. Let not my lips praise you but my life, a life dedicated to you, no matter what comes my way. Let me seek your praise and seek to please you alone and not men, so I can be a bondservant of Christ (Galatians 1:10). A bondservant is obedient and attached to their master and has no life of their own, he is there purpose.

1 Corinthians 4: 1-5 "Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. For i know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God."

ALrigHT.... i kno everyone is talking about the Jenks v Union GaMe.... But i gotta tell you what i think about it! My heart is racinG....

OKayy so if anyone knows me you know i'm all about playing with HEART and finding it within yourself. So i walk into the game a couple minutes late because my friends in I were getting ALL painted up.... big time. I didnt know what to expect because all week all i heard was how we were going to LosE... But I still believed and couldnt wait for our boys to come out with nothing to lose and give it all they got and Win as the underdoggs. I believed i really did because alot of times when you dont have the big Names and individual stars... is when you really start playing as a team and make something happen! So the guys came out and u could tell that they wanted it... wanted it badd and were ready to work.. thats what i wanteD to see _ thats waht i love (eye of the tiger baby* they worked every possesioN and made each hit count..... they werent gonna let anyone by them. Chris runs full out and keeps his feet moving shaking off guys in every directioN and punching through the holes that the hard working linemen so beautifull sacrificed themselves to make! soo ya we were pumped.... we ended up getting dowN but i'm kinda glad because that is when you got to diG.. that is when you have to want it enough to make something huge happen.. and they did _ each one of them. 4th quarter i didn't take one breatH.. i was yelling motivational speaches as loud as possibly coulD the whole time i think i wanted it so bad that if Trimble had suited me up i co uld of taken down any of those union guys...  even with 34 seconds left i kno we had it in us -> it was amazing,,, i love I Isaac NormaN.... >> WHen i think of Jenks sports thats what i think of... 4th quarter if there is a way to win we will find it-- cause we have heart. I know its just one game and we have a lot of work to do.. but yaaa guys keep it up... 
this is one of my joys in liFE _ I love FUmble recoveries... I love the GaME

"We do not want you to be uniformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia (New Orleans). We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.  He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many."

2 CORINTHIANS 1:8-11

2 Corinthians 4: 13-15

"We are not keeping this quiet, not on your life. Just like the psalmist who wrote, 'I believed it, so i said it.' We say what we believe. And  what we believe is that the One who raised up the Master Jesus will just as certainly raise us up with you, alive. Every detail works to your advantage and to God'y glory: more and more grace, more and more people, more and more praise!"

--- This is peoples lifes we are dealing with, if we stay quiet they die. We know it is true we believe it with all our hearts. So say what we believe... we believe that the God who raised up our Master and Savior Jesus will certainly raise us up, alive because we believe in him. Every detail works to the persecutors and unsaveds advantage because God uses this to reach out to them and for his glory. The more and more they persecute, more and more grace God will abound to them and forgiveness there for them to accept, the more they persecute the more people will see and the more people will be saved, the more they persecute the more praise will be given to our King. The persecutors don't realize the advantage while persecuting Paul here, but it all works for the saving of their souls!
