I have started a Yahoo group for anyone here that would like to discuss God and religion.  This is my first post from there.  I would love to see many of you there and here your prayers and thoughts .

RULES TO LIVE BY

  1.  Thank GOD for where you are and what you are in. God allows us to go through these trials and tribulations for his glory.  We are NEVER in a place that suprises GOD. We must learn to thank him for the challanges as well as the blessings.  We are very quick to praise GOD when we are having good times.  We must let go and praise him during tough times to, for he is there.  He has a purpouse.
  2. We must be more concerned for GODS glory than our own. We should want GOD to always look good. We must praise GOD. For me, today I am having major rib pain. I say praise GOD I have the pain. I am here and alive.
  3. Remember that GOD wants us to fervently pray.  Pray to him to fill us with the power to give ourselves over to him. 
    •     fer·vent     /ˈfÉœrvÉ™nt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[fur-vuhnt]
       1. having or showing great warmth or intensity of spirit, feeling, enthusiasm, etc.; ardent: a fervent admirer; a fervent plea.
       2. hot; burning; glowing. 
  4. GOD wants us to wait on the lord.  Stay Calme and give him time to do the work he wants to be done. When you are having a hard time, you must give GOD time for his plan to unfold. He does have plan. Remember, it is in GODS hands. Say "Lord, I know you have a plan and I give my power over to you becuase you will take care of me.
  5. GOD wants us to take the next step of FAITH, not the next step of revenge.  Forgive. Do good to those that are not dong good to you.Pray for those, It is hard to feel negative for someone when you are praying for them.
  6. GOD wants you to see the presence of GOD in the midst of our trials.  IT IS ON GODS HANDS!!
  7. Trust GOD to deliver you in a unique way. It may not be the way you expect.
  8. GOD wants you to, BY FAITH, see your current trials as faith builders.  Trials and Storms are the dumbbells and the treadmills of the lord to Strengthen us inour live and FAITH in him.

Dunno Rock. Having faith is good, having it too much might call for some self-moderation. I myself have a Buddist-altar, but I'm not a Buddist. Next to my Buddha's I have also statuettes of the Virgin Mary. I also have several Garudah's, the Indonesian symbolic humanoid hawk governing new life (all life). Personaly, I don't think it's a matter of WHO you believe in, but HOW you believe. It's for every man individual to decide how far to take that faith. If I feel it appropiate, I sometimes sign off with "Faith and Strength". But whatever form that faith might have for any person privately, or even the lack of such, is not my business.

Prayer has a lot of power and saying more prayers for each other if not for ourselves will do us all a but of good. :)

I'm in Cat's corner on this one. Religion is good to have, in moderation, and in the sanctity of your own life. There isn't much that turns me off more than someone who feels it is their job, their purpose, to blast their particular religion down someone's throat whether they asked for it or not. Putting it out there for others to grab onto is one thing - but we've all seen the radicals across the spectrum. Do all of 2o2p a favor and don't be one of those. Best of luck with your group, B.

With God there is no moderation. Either you is or you ain't. I don't see it as blasting it down their throats. No one forces anyone to read this. This is your blog, not a forum.Rock on, brother, and Glory be to God.

I look at like this. I am not shoving it down anyones throat. I am speaking what is in my heart because it carries my daily. If I see a thread about a subject I do not want read, uuhhhmmmm eeeerrrrrr..... I DON'T CLICK IT!!!!! Pretty simple. You guys have the freedom to not read my posts about this. Jesus is NOT a bad word as many many seem to believe. The last thing I am looking for is to SHOVE anything anywhere. I am looking to help share and spread the word of Christ. It has changed my life. Yesterday I learned that no matter how tough times get, it will be OK. Things are going to be OK. Even if they do not turn out the way I expect, things are going to workout. Tell me, why is that a bad thing????? It isn't Rock

Praise God from whom all blessings flow, brother. I am right here with you. Your notes actually got to me at a time when I needed them most, so I thank God for sending a message through you.
