Peace on Earth

This is the last working day of the year for me.  That’s a nice blessing to have.  I am not sure if the Daily Buffet will continue through the next week, or if it will pick up with the New Year.  Either way, make sure you are focused on the blessings all around you this time of year, and find some time to reflect on the fact that the Christ was born and brings a chance of redemption for all.

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:14 (KJV)

Once Were

Well, I wondered when the Duck Dynasty would enter the controversy phase. And boom it happens on the most polarizing issue of our time. I know this whole debate may strike deep emotion in you. What’s right, what’s wrong, who’s ok, who’s not, and then the whole freedom of speech thing!

So here’s there thoughts I have for followers of the Christ.

1. Stand with Christ alone
2. Expect that the message of Christ will create controversy
3. Remember what you once where and what you have been given
4. Give that same way in everything you do, speech, thoughts, time, etc.

And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:11 NIV)

Oh and it might be good to reread 1Corinthians 6 and understand why our bodies are not our own.

Keeping Watch

Last night I walked out in the cold night and stood out in the field beside the farm house. It was such a magnificent night. The cold crisp air. The stillness of the night. The bright reflection on the Cold Moon on the treeline and the beauty of the stars shining in the dark clear sky. As I stood still, watching, listening and shivering surrounded by the glory of the creator, I could not help but be reminded of another cold clear night when God’s glory shone so bright.

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. ” Luke 2

Wow! Sort of makes you want to join in the heavenly chorus singing “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Cheese is good

The online menu at Mellow Mushroom used to have a little character that would say ‘sometimes just plain ole cheese is good’. Today, here is some plain ole cheese. And it’s good!!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV)

Working on a Building

I heard these lyrics from a gospel bluegrass song last week and fell in love with it. It is a good anthem to use as we start the week.

I’m a working on building
I’m a working on building
I’m a working on building
For my Lord, for my Lord

Let us ensure we are building today and not tearing it down.
