Whispers of Promise: Day 21

"Faith, lived out consistently, may turn some doubting hearts to the Savior.  Then instead of being horrified by their wrong judgment, they too, will share the blessing when every knee bows to Jesus.  We who once deseved condemnation have seen it turned aside for mercy.  Let's share that with as many as we can."

Businesses Beware

newest logo   Open Business Directory, LTD. also doing business as yellow-page-usa.com, first began being investigated for fraud and scamming US customers in 2011.  Directory scams are very common, however this company has a far more complex scheme going. They usually fax an inquiry which looks like a sheet to update business information.  Many times even if you call the 1-800 number to clarify, the representative says the same thing, "It is just to update our records."  For a year of "service" runs a little over $1K by signing and 'updating' the business information. 2011 logo with trademark infringement BBB can tell you a number of things regarding the legitimacy of this company. They are not located at 225 Franklin St. in Boston.  They have no known employees in the country.  They threaten legal action and/or debt collectors against complainants in hopes this will get you to pay, however in the 238 (which grows daily) complaints on fi...

Whispers of Promise: Day 20

"Without God's help I could never have completed an extraordinarily difficult task He honored me with.  Alone, the work He ordained would have turned into a thankless chore.  But the eternally faithful One combined the task with so many unexpected joys that thankfulness never became a problem.  Despite a host of troubles, I received all I needed." With much of life, we find ourselves being so focused on a task, situation, or chore that when it does not go our way; we tend to not see the joys in the journey.  We rarely see troubles as a teacher.  We rarely see our fall as a need.  What we should try to comprehend is we are only one small piece of the puzzle to a larger picture.  Each stumble, triumph, tear, and joy is for something greater than our ego.

Whispers of Promise: Day 19

"When we are told that God, who is our dwelling place, is also our fortress, it can mean one thing, and that is, that if we will but live in our dwelling place, we shall be perfectly safe and secure." Finding a sense of security seems to get harder with every waking era.  We are constantly bombarded by devistating news of robbery, terrorism, affairs, etc. even having experienced many heart shattering situations ourselves.  We then begin fighting against ourselves. . .me against myself!  We dwell in a fortress of anger, resentment, bitterness, and hate to name a few.  This fortress' halls usually lead down halls of desperation, addiction, busyness. . .a never ending path of destruction keeping us housed in a glass building which could shatter at any moment.  There is hope! Have confidence in changing the sins of yesterday for the faith of today.  Anyone has the choice to change evil and vicious cycles.  Building a fortress of stone with grace, fai...

"Love is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life.  To each and every one of us, it gives the power of working miracles if we will."  ~Lydia Maria Child A life without love is no life at all.  So many of us search for some feeling of love, but in essence it is a choice.  It is an act to be selfless, unconditional, and choose to put time, effort, & sacrifice into someone or something.  It is the seed which helps us grow and recognize our conscious heart and devour fears and uncertainty.  Love has its own energy making us aware of the miracles in life.  What will you choose?  Who will you choose to love whether they deserve it or not?
