As I sit here trying to figure out how to send responses via Twitter (www.twitter.com/frankiedsc) I have one thing on my mind.....Why is it so easy when things go tits up to blame God.

You loose your job "God why?", friend gets sick "God why you let my friend get sick?"...etc.

What I beleive is this....we live in a world of sin. Because of that sin things are a mess. I do not believe God has purposefully put us in a place of calamity. I take what the prophet Jeremiah says -

"11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer. 29:11

I guess its easy to blame what you can not see and some times it is a bit tougher to have faith when the sea is tossing you around but I beleive God calls us to remain faithful in the good and bad and if you can survive the bad you will only come out on top not just spiritually but just period.

We have to strive to trust God no matter what.

Hungry...

I do not give money to the homeless but every now and again i will go out of my way to feed someone though.

Isn't that what God calls us to do....Feed the hungry, look after widows...etc.

He Has Risen.....so now what?

So today is Sunday....Easter Sunday to be exact. Today is the day that we as Christians celebrate the resurction of Jesus Christ the Son of God. This is the weekend we recognize as the day Christ closed the gap between us and God by taking our sins to the cross.......but whats next?

Acts 1:3 says that Jesus walked and ministered for another 40 days before his ascension...which leads me to his final command which was for the disciples to go into Jeruselam and to wait becuase with this command came this promise to his disciples - Acts 1:8 " But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

I wish on Easter Sunday pastors would preach about the day of Pentecost because Acts 1:8, Acts 2 are all connected to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.......Do not forget that we have been called to be witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Cheers and blessings!

Have we missed the mark?

aaaahhhh!!

So it is saturday and I have three cuts in for the day....One more if I can make it that long. I hate being sick because when I get sick, I am sick!!

I need to get up and go to church tomorrow..I feel like I have not been to church forever but I have been going with the kids for the last few weeks. Last sunday was youth sunday and the kids did a real good job. They led worship and everything.

I went job hunting yesterday but the truth is if I can not find a full time job soon I am going to have to find a new place to find work.....I may call Beths uncle Joe down in Simi Valley. He is tied to a union down in LA. Maybe I can get my foot in the door.

Beth is trying out for Shear Genius....we are shooting her audition tape sunday after church....hopefully it comes out ok

Thats been about it.

It's wedsday!!

Sitting here not really doing anything since I have nothing on the books. I am looking forward to saturday though...The grand opening of Covenant Barbershop /Sugahill and DeathorGlory Tattoo. Got a few cuts scheduled for the day.

Lindess asked if she could go visit Living Word Fellowship on thursday and I am really excited about this....Hoping God will use this time to show here more of Him since it is so different then DCC where she goes with her grandparents.

I will be honest I have not been in the word much lately....no excuses just lazy!!!

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

I hate customer service people!

So often then not customer service jobs are sent overseas which means english is a second language and YOu have to talk to them like you are dealing with a freaking little kid!
