Matthew 13:57-58
"And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house." And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith."
Why is it that we have influence over a stranger but our own families won't listen to us? There are no past histories for the stranger, they only see the present. The same with Jesus, maybe they recalled Jesus while he was growing up. They could not believe the stories they were hearing.
Be careful of placing judgements on those that you know their history. We could be passing up an opportunity to witness Jesus in action.
You know you are on target when you are taking on flack, enjoy your day and fear not. God is there with you.

Today is a new day and Jesus walks with us. Today we do the best to our abilities and learn from the Master. For it is He who ransomed us from captivity.
Jesus is King and we are His people, fight the good fight today in His kingdom.

"But we hold this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us."
The treasure is Jesus, our reward is eternal life. We are His hands, His feet, His eyes, His ears and His voice. He works through you, it is not you controlling Jesus, it should be the other way around.
You are His and your gifts are His, we are nothing without Jesus. Be at peace knowing God is in control. The results are His not yours.

Subject: Explosive video
A top executive at Planned Parenthood was caught on tape.
And what is revealed is downright horrific.
Warning: Her words are deeply disturbing.
The new undercover footage shows Dr. Deborah Nucatola describing how Planned Parenthood allegedly sells the body parts of aborted children. She admits that they use partial-birth abortions to supply intact body parts.
And she isn't some low-level rogue employee. Dr. Nucatola is Senior Director of Medical Services for Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Pro-life investigators from the Center for Medical Progress posed as businessmen interested in acquiring fetal body parts. Dr. Nucutola described in detail that abortion procedures are tailored in order to preserve the organs of unborn children:"I'd say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they'll know where they're putting their forceps. The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium—the head—is basically the biggest part."
"We've been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact."
This is totally barbaric!
How can we allow this in our country?
Actually, there are laws against this! Federal law bans the sale of body parts of aborted babies and makes the sale or purchase a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and a fine of up to $500,000.
But this explosive video shows that the abortion industry is so callous that they don't blink an eye at the trafficking of baby body parts.
We need to get to the bottom of this gruesome black market and to let Americans know exactly what is happening in abortion facilities across the country.
After you watch this video, I urge you to call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Ask to speak to your Representative. Demand that Congress hold an immediate investigation into this barbaric practice.

Going to Church on a regular bases, reading God's word is so important, being around other like minded people that are seeking God. The Holy Spirit can only do so much we need to help ourselves and most of this is just sitting still with a bible verse or gospel reading in our hands.

Matthew 5:44
"But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,"
This verse really goes against our human nature but not our Godly nature. Jesus did exactly as it says without a second thought.
We let ourself get in the way, let Jesus get in the way and make a difference in the one who is hating on you.
Enjoy your Sunday and the beautiful day the Lord has laid out for you.

Romans 8:31
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
Brothers and sisters, that is a mouthful, and oh so comforting! If we put our full faith and trust in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit we can conquer our adversities. We need to have faith that God has our back and will lead us on the righteous path for a happy life. Sure there will be ups and downs and sometimes we may have our doubts, but never lose sight of the fact that God loves us and want us to be happy. Be happy this weekend and enjoy the wonderful world Our Lord has given us….

Amos 3:3
"Do two journey together unless they have agreed?"
We make choices in our life that most definitely impacts our future not always for the best. We each have a responsibility to help each other as we journey thru life.
Does your ego or self importance ever get in the way. What about compassion for each other does this ever get neglected. When we take our eyes off ourselves and try to see from the others point of view, we will see and feel what they are viewing.
A great talk about marriage, for some reason God has put this and the word journey in my thoughts this morning.
Love like Jesus loves today.

and they cried out in a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory and blessing."
We are truly blessed to call God - Lord God Almighty! He is deserving of our love, our time, our talents and our lives. He sent His Son for you, praise him with your life, praise him with your actions, praise him with your voice. Stand up for Jesus and be who He created you to be.
Remember - Greater is He that is in you, then he that is in the world. He has conquered all for you, stop holding back and trust.
Enjoy this video/song, it will speak to you and you will see how God impacts His people!! Have a blessed day!

Wisdom 18:9
"For in secret the holy children of the good were offering sacrifice and carried out with one mind the divine institution, So that your holy ones should share alike the same blessings and dangers, once they had sung the ancestral hymns of praise."
We are truly blessed to share one mind and the divine institution each time at mass. Some will tell you that the Catholic faith isn't bible based. Well here it is in God's word. Written 50 years before the birth of Christ.
Jesus is the divine institution that we celebrate each time at mass in the Eucharist. Be confident in your faith and help others find the living Lord.
Enjoy your day brothers for Jesus Christ is King and loves you with all His heart.
Peace and blessings to you.

1 Thessalonians 5:5
"For all of you are children of the light and children of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness."
Children are so eager to learn, they want to seek knowledge and understanding. They are so inquisitive and full of joy. Nothing seems to bother them. They are very accepting of the obvious that is right in front of them.
Children are easily lead, do you follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit? Are you full of anticipation of what is next like a child is? You are a child of God and God makes all things perfect. Trust in Him, like a child trusts his father.
Be His joy today as you live life, may Jesus be ever near you today.

Matthew 6:33
"But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides."
Jesus is the answer to what ever problem or situation you have going on in your life. Unhappy marriage - Jesus is the answer, don't know your next step - Jesus is the answer, problems at work - Jesus is the answer, health issues - Jesus is the answer, money issues - Jesus is the answer.
What ever you are searching for, Jesus is the answer. Hit your knees and ask Him to intervene and then be patient.
For His glory, I love you Jesus!!

Psalms 33:18
"Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear him, upon those who count on his mercy,"
God is ever present in our lives, He is always there. Do you recognize His presence, do you spend time with Him, do you honor Him? What does it mean to fear Him?
It is like a fathers love, you know the boundaries your dad taught you and you know the consequences when you stepped over them. I believe this is what it means. Even when we did cross the lines, dad was always there to help us figure it out.
God is watching and patiently waiting, give Him the glory today.

1 Peter 2:16
"Be free, yet without using freedom as a pretext for evil, but as slaves of God."
We have been blessed by God to live in this country, we could have been born in another part of the world. Instead of having the luxuries we all enjoy, we may struggle to make a mere $450.00 a year in Peru or Uganda. Are Americans really free or are we enslaved by our freedom.
Be a difference maker in this world, look for ways to share what you have with those that are less fortunate. Give of yourself and be free in Christ, the true freedom.
Have a Blessed 4th everyone, our freedom wasn't free, good men died for it.

2 Chronicles 36:15
"Early and often the LORD, the God of their ancestors, sent his messengers to them, for he had compassion on his people and his dwelling place."
God never gives up on us, He is constantly there showing us the way. He loves You! He made you and knows all about you. Why do some not see the signs?
Think about some of the messages you have received. Is it just coincidence or is God trying to tell you something. He, God, always prevails.
Enjoy your day, I hope you have a day off to enjoy His beauty.
Peace and Blessings to you and yours.

Philippians 4:3
"Yes, and I ask you also, my true yokemate, to help them, for they have struggled at my side in promoting the gospel, along with Clement and my other co-workers, whose names are in the book of life."
You who are called, don't let life get in the way. It really is a spiritual war that we deal with. The devil will try anything to throw you off track. To get you off focus on what you are called to do.
Pray for each other that you continue to overcome and make a difference. If the enemy fire is getting close then you must be on target so keep on going.
Have a blessed day

2 Samuel 22:31
"God's way is unerring; the LORD's promise is tried and true; he is a shield for all who trust in him."
Have you noticed how God works, how His plan is never wrong. I am amazed at how He uses His people to reveal His love. It isn't just coincidence things or chance meetings happen, it is divine intervention.
Trust isn't always easy but He reassures us to trust in Him. As I continue to learn to let go and let God, my trust grows, for God promises He will protect us.
My prayer today is that you trust in Him and turn your troubles to Him. Let Go and Let God and pray.
Peace
