LAMININ!!

This morning while having my quiet time I was reading in Matthew 6 about how I was supposed to do things quietly.  My time was almost complete when "for some reason" I picked up my laptop and went to FACEBOOK!  Now, FACEBOOK is not the most spiritual of venues to finish your quiet time with!  But, GOD has a way of being SOVEREIGN!
One of my friends had posted a video of Louie Giglio delivering a message.  It was 8:43 seconds long which is about 7:43 longer than my attention span!  But just about the time I was getting ready to move on to something else I was intrigued by what he said.  Louie Giglio was talking about LAMININ!
Dictionary.com states that Laminin is " a glycoprotein that is a component of connective tissue basement membrane and that promotes cell adhesion"!  It is the STUFF that makes our skin hold together and our teeth remain in our head, and everything in our bodies NOT just float around!  LAMININ is the glue that makes everyone be a person.  That was pretty neat until Louie Giglio displayed on the screen a MOLECULAR drawing of LAMININ!

This is AWSOME!

Now, some may say that this is coincedence or a fluke!  But GOD is no fluke and HE does not operate in coincedence  or circumstance. GOD has everything, AND I MEAN EVERYTHING, under HIS control and held together by HIS glue!  Sometimes WE do not understand HIS workings, but we are HUMAN!  HE IS GOD!!!

JUST SAYIN!!

Today, as I was pondering an issue, GOD brought to my memory a saying that was on a wall poster in my little sister’s room when we were growing up.  Now that was 40 years ago!  So I “googled” the saying and it gave me a list of 10 sayings.  Some of them were not as gripping as others to me, but I share them all as others may need to see them.  It is AMAZING how a SOVERIEGN GOD can use something I saw 40 years ago to bring comfort so much later in life.  I leave it to you to figure out which “saying” I speak of!


1. Alfred Lord Tennyson
It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
2. Richard Bach
If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was.
3. Cinderella
Do you love me because I am beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?
4. Joan Crawford
Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell.
5. Theodore M. Hesburgh
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
6. Lisa Hoffman
Love is like pi - natural, irrational, and very important.
7. Mother Teresa
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
8. Philip Barry
Love: Two minds without a single thought.

Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love.

CONFESSIONS of a TOOL!

Today I am relishing in the fact that we serve a GOD who is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and closer than a brother.  Too many times we get caught up with in our daily lives and what we PERCEIVE as being important and fail to give GOD his due.  Your family and friends can and WILL dissappoint and do things that we do not approve of.

GOD gives us a limited amount of intelligence (I think mine is more limited than most) to get through life.  Sometimes others intelligence leads them in ways I do not understand.  I WANT to be able to help, but GOD does not need my help most of the time.  Sometimes HE allows me to be used of HIM, but the hardest thing HE has taught me is to give HIM time to work.  If HE leads someone down a road that seems to be one that is "NOT THE BEST", then HE may be teaching them a lesson!  GOD has enough to do without overcoming my good intentions.

Sometimes a yard rake can be GREAT to sweep up leaves.  Most of the time it hangs in the shed.  We only pull it down when it is needed.

Dear Lord, help me to be more sensitive to YOUR leadership and direction when I desire to intervene in other's lives.  Help me to realize that YOU do not need my help.  And when YOU are ready for me to be used of YOU that I will be AVAILABLE for what YOU intend and nothing more.  AMEN!
