It's always in the news, some reason why the world is going to freeze and or warm up because of Human Activity.
Truth be known,
It's going to happen, Global warming I mean, and according to 2 Peter 3:10....
You hear a lot of the Jerry Falwell types talking about judgement, but I want to think about it a different way. Everyone wants to preach Hellfire and Damnation, and there is a place for that, but there is another way to think about judgement. One theme I constantly hear from skeptics is that "If God is so good then why..." fill in the blank. Murder happens, child molesters happen, tsunamis, earthquakes, all the natural and man-made evil. Judgement will not only answer the reasons why, it makes them right. Justice is coming...
I pray it comes soon...

Remember what I said about pride?
Today I read about 10 more dead Muslims. This violence is unending because of the nature of the religion. Jesus fought the Jews on the same issues as this. Remember some of his followers wanted to make Him king by force. He however said His Kingdom is not of this world. That the difference between us and them. We die, they Kill.
Let our differences be seen!
Christians, get your crosses.....

Full time at Publix, Strange things on Bags...
Hello!
I am unofficially full time at Publix now. That means mo mo-nay!
Something random:
I just noticed that my cashews have a warning about peanuts on the bag. ITS FREEKING CASHEWS!!!!!! That means you are eating something that is related to Poison Ivy.
I shouldn't have to say anymore than that.
It's important to get news from many sources and points of view. I'm not talking "liberal" "conservative" I'm talking stranger than that. I'm talking wider perspective. The question I ask when I watch the news is: "How does this all fit together?"
Sun-Tzu is watching you...
Ultimately I believe that to understand Satanic strategy, one must be familiar with "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. That's because AOW is all about how to win without being obvious about it, and Satan is equally subtle. When I listen to coast to coast, I'm not hearing anything about UFO's, I'm hearing strategy. It's more important to me to think about what people think about UFOs than it is to actually contemplate their existance. I h0pe that makes sense. In short, when things are looking weird, ask yourself, How does the perception of this news affect people, and who stands to benefit from it if the majority opinion holds firm?
Think on it!

Haitian Elections Declare a Winner!!
Former President Preval is the Victor!!
Albeit in a strange way. Nothing is surprising in the Republique to me anymore. You'll hear me talk about the country from time to time. I've been there twice both times for religious purposes. I can speak a little Kreyol, it's the only language I feel I could hold a reasonable conversation with someone. It's a place I believe everyone should visit. Great reefs, good cookin', and the threat of being kidnapped is a plus. Mostly because that means more food in my case, it'd be a long time before anyone I know would be able to get a ransom together. Far as I know they might be glad to be rid of me.
I've been to some of the main cities in the country. Port-Au-Prince, St. Marc, Gonnaive, Cap Haittien, and the little town of Ounamet (Wan-A-Met). Sometime I might relay my adventures to you.

Believing and Serving in Christ
That's what BASIC does, and it's part of our overall call to ministry together.
Why is it important that the Church be a Church that is Believing and Serving in Christ?
Homeless people need to see Jesus, not juvenile deliquients. It is possible for God to be honored in even this difficult situation. I don't know Mr. Perez, but he at least sounds like he wants to BE B.A.S.I.C.
BE B.A.S.I.C. That's my encourangement to you today. James says in his Epistle:
Jam 1:23-25 (ESV) For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. (24) For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. (25) But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
Our Baptism serves as a pivot in our lives. Before it, the only thing that mattered as far as our salvation is concerned, is the fact that we've broken the "Don't"'s you shal not lie, you shall not covet, etc. Now, all that matters is out obedience to the law of liberty, which Christ commanded as "Love one Another." Love One Another: Our LAW!!!!!!!!!
Keep the Love!!

What a Long Strange Trip....
Last nite was the coldest nite we've been downtown in a long time.
The projected low was 32, I don't know if it made it that low or not. I do know the wind was HOWLING. The guys at Winter Park were great, one couple brought coffee and hot chocolate, and everyone worked to make sure we got things done as quickly as possible. According to the Grapevine, the Salvation Army had emergency shelter set up, but confirmation for that hid like a chicken in Haiti.
We served 26 people:
Ben, Darnell, Ann, "Shorty" (not James who says 'I don't Know'), Tracy, Ben, Leon, Steve, Curtis, Eric, Kelly, Mike, Steve, Lawerence, Herbert, Ernie, Vincent, Nigus, Jeremiah, Sherman, Tim, Brent, Ken, Ron, LeBron, and Redfeather.
Pray for them...

Trying to stay well....
Don't get sick.
I'm sick right now. That makes me STUPID>
I'm supposed to be going downtown Sunday with FCC Winter Park . They are great people there. We are supposed to be doing a study on Matthew 6:19-23 downtown with homeless people. Why don't you guys follow along?
Why Do You Do Those Things You Do?
Matthew 6:19-23
1. What happens to every gift you are given, every pair of boots you will receive, every dollar you will earn? Matthew 6:19; 2 Peter 3:10
2. Where are our eternal possessions? Matthew 6:20
3. How can people tell if you are living for yourself or for God? Matthew 6:21
4. What does what we see with our eyes have to do with the attitude in our hearts? Matthew 6:22, 23
Notice the questions are simple, and the answers come straigt from the text we are studying, plus or minus a supporting text.
So, do the lesson, post your comments, and lets talk Jesus!

So,
Everyone out there excited about what's happened here? I have taken the last couple of days off the "Secret Blog" and put them here. soon, everything I was doing on the secret blog will be done here. This is an experiment to see if I've made the text above dynamic.
Since it is so easy to make things into links using the software I use for the old site, I might just make all the articles and links there, and have one link back. I don't know how many people actually jump those links I see in everyone's blog, but for me, it would help because I like to read the article that is being commented upon before I read Joe Blow's comments on it.
PEace out!

Man am I beat! Last nite Katherine was up and at em, from 12-4. She just didn't want to go to sleep! Stubborn Kuss. I'm definately going to need a nap later this afternoon. Anywho...What has the Devil got up his sleeve? I believe there is a plan afoot. Ever notice how Islam always seem to take the show? People are wondering about the relationship between the apparently coordinated attacks on Danish interests. While different people are saying different things, I think I'm beginning to understand what has taken place. On the human side, there is a huge issue of pride: Pride in who the Arab Muslim is. How will I (an equally prideful person) get around this issue?GB HOYT

I go to sub training today. IT's the second day. I'm pretty sure I'll like subbing, but today will tell me a lot because I'll go straight from orientation to Publix. That should be interesting. Then tomorrow I have an interview with a school to become a "pilot sub".
See you tomorrow!!GB Hoyt

Update: Still not a great time to be a small church. Since this is Black History month, and this is alabama, I wonder if those white sheeted idiots are at work again. Some people. Rain has been variable today, sometimes heavy.
11:19
Well, it seems like I still have all my microsoft word documents! Missed that bullet. Today it is raining. Its' a good rain too, right now at least. Hard, no lightening near by. Sunday it is supposed to be cold, but we son't be able to get downtown. Frustrating. I'm the only one out of bed, and for the first time in about a week and a half, I actually feel like sleeping did some good. I feel sharp today. Everywhere except my fingers. They are a little stiff. Probably the weather. Keep praying...GB HOYT
