Self Image

  I have often struggled with a personal self-image attitude!  For years I have managed to build an image in my own mind of who I really am. I have agreed with much of this self-motivated assumption for the wrong reasons and for most of my life, unfortunately! For the most part, I have allowed these thoughts and attitudes to shape me and, thus, affected my relationships throughout that time.

Who I am, and who you really are, are often not who we tell ourselves! Outside influences from other people and situations help to shape us, whether we like it or not, but, we either allow or surpress those influences in order to help shape our image of ourselves! I'm not trying to offer physceatric help here but only personal testimony. I'm no doctor but I believe we each one know ourselves better than anyone else does, including doctors. No offense intended here!

This is just something I've been thinking about for a really long time and have been seeking answers to. Maybe you have to and, perhaps, we can help each other and offer some kind of encouraging help.

I welcome any help at all and, God willing, I will be able to strengthen a good self-image along the way. It is, after all, what God meant for us all to have being made in his image as we are!

Be blessed folks

Jesus One Thousand Year Reign!

  Most Christians know that the milenial reign of Christ is for 1000 years and as believers we get to reign with him also. But are most aware of the many kinds of changes and amazing events which will accompany his reign? Our own inclination then will be to serve him and glorify God the Father!

For beginners, cats will no longer be carnivors but become, like other meat-eaters, herbavores. Your household cat will be able to just go outside and eat grass just as a cow or horse during that time. It may seem odd to us but it shouldn't because God's word reveals this in the book of Revelation.

There will be many other startling changes to come about a well. For instance, all government's will be abolished and there will be an holy monarchy of one...Jesus Christ! No more voting for the lesser of two evils as we have been doing for decades in this country!I am convinced that this 1000 kingly-reign of Christ is a literal reign, not a figurative one!

My faith in God's word has grown through church and personal study for over 25 years and there is no doubt at all in my heart that what he says, he means and the milenial reign will be glorious! Other wonderful changes will be the banishing of all evil, demonic spirits along with satan. They will not be allowed to roam freely for that period of time and the Holy Spirit will lead every believer to bring glory to God the Father for the entire time.

More good news is that we will all be in perfect health, both physically and mentally! No more aches and pains, headaches, joint pain nor satanic attack on our minds. What a glorious time it will be. the bet news about all of it is that it could begin tomorrow. Right after the rapture of the church we will be together with Jesus and then reign with him because of his wonderful grace and love for each one of us. Wow!

Are you ready?  Get "saved" if your not already!!

Desire To Help People Read

   Since my high school days and my time a Sunday School teacher I have had a strong desire to help men and women, boys and girls who have much difficulty reading and writing to learn these most basic of skills. I have noticed for such a long time the problems and difficulties among children and adults who have struggled with these learning skills!

I have been blessed to be able to read well and write because of a strong desire to do both since my middle-school days taking a typing class and of course during the normal English classes we were taught. I thouroughly enjoyed learning these skills as a pre-teen and then going into middle school with excitement and understanding. Many, however, have difficulty because of learning disabilities which hinder their learning ability. This breaks my heart and I want to help in every way I can lend to bring these skills to those in need! For those willing to learn, I want to lend my hand to help.

Its my hope that whoever reads this will contact me and we can, some way, get together and I will be ready to help out in any way I can. Bless you all today!

This is EXACTLY how the Bible says it would look before THE END 2017

Kentucky Wildcat Machine

If your a college basketball fan you certainly know of the historical-success of the University Of Kentucky Wildcat program! Since the early 1950's under coach Adolff Rupp the Wildcats teams have racked up more victories than any other college team and have managed to gather the biggest home crowds far more than any other team during that time. They say Kentucky is horse country but I am here to argue that its 'basketball-country'! The success of the program a a whole certainly has depended upon talented players during these years but it also has depended upon good coaching and teaching from each coach up to the current head coach, John Calipari!

To this point, UK has had incredible success over the last decade, excluding the Billy Gillepsie era as
coach of the team during the 2007 and 2008 seasons which saw the Cats drop several games at home and create an irate fan-base which wa used to winning every game at home since the modern era began. Kentucky is NOT supposed to lose any basketball games! So with the firing of Gillespie, a new era of Kentucky basketball was on the horizon as coach Calipari was due to be hired!

Such stars as John Wall. Demarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, Devin Booker, Eric Bledsoe and others have developed into NBA stars in a short time and much of their success has to be credited to their unselfish willingness to "buy into" the team-first attitude which coach Cal preached from the very beginning of his career as a head coach in division one play.My excitement ignites when I think of more ncaa championships coming to UK very soon, especially if these new players also "buy into" the system from Cal just as others have done.

Its my hope that Calipari begins to make more of an instance of winning collegiate basketball championships rather than having at least one UK player on each NBA team in the near future, which he has recently stated. Its my opinion that the majority of the UK fan-base would much rather see their beloved teams win the NCAA far more than having every NBA team packed with former players, such as the Pheonix Suns have (aka, the Wildcats of the west).

Hopefully, that's exactly what I hope we see just that within the next 5 years and I know many of you want to see the same thing as  well....the new NCAA National Champion, Kentucky Wildcats. Maybe the 2017-18 will be the first of several basketball championship banners hung in Rupp Arena.

Bigfoot And Other 'Cryptids'

  What do I really believe and think about the so-called Bigfoot or Sasquatch and other cryptids? At first, my thoughts were of a certainty and pretty solid that these things are all hybrids and demonic!

That is currently my same thoughts and beliefs but I don't want to appear to be rigid about this subject to others when I engage them in this conversation. I would like to be more open-minded about the subject. Without a doubt I believe they they do exist! I think there has been more than enough documented evidence from witnesses who have encountered these things whether close to their home or out in the far woods on an expedition!

I want my writing about them to be on factual findings and common sense and not supisition.  It would be very easy to make up a far-reaching, imaginative story on a giant Bigfoot coming into a crowded neighborhood during the day-light hours and seen by hundreds of people so that there could be no doubt of its existence, but there is no need for such far fetched stories because we do have solid evidence from explorers and, indeed, scientist who have researched out this phenomenon for decades

and have brought forth audio and video footage which can not be denied.

It seems that there are occurences of this cryptid, along with other types of creatures such as Dogman and Grassman or Slenderman are reported. Some of you will not be familiar with the latter as they have just recently been discovered over the last decade or so. Dogman, especially, appears to be quite territorial and more aggressive than the Bigfoot but if they too are of a demonic spirit it is vital that we steer clear of them and not go seeking them out just for the purpose of acknowledging their existence! I would implore those who would to refrain from this action. they are very dangerous!

I have to tell myself the very same thing because I would be excited to go on expedition for either of these cryptids with some friends but its my hope that we would have with us all necessary equipment and protective gear with us when and if we do go!

At the end, its my hope to just have godly wisdom for these adventures and pray for God's guidance over each of us if he would allow us to expose these creatures for what they most probably are...hybrids and demonic spirits or even if they are not such things!
