Every man is enthusiastic at times. One man has enthusiasm for thirty minutes, another has it for thirty days - But it is the man that has it for thirty years, who makes a success in life.

...let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Hebrews 12:1

Measure wealth, not by the things you have, but by the things you have for which you would not take money.

...for a mans' life consists not in the abundance of THINGS which he possesses.
Luke 12:15

Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it, but that applies to us all. Daily, we do things, or have actions, or comments, that do not deserve love form anyone. Yet God loves us ALL the time. He even sent Jesus to die for us, at a time, that most, surely did not deserve it.

Do you suppose, that God knew there would be unlovable times in our lives? Sure He did, but He showed us then, as He shows us daily, that we still have His love, weather we deserve it or not.

Do you know anyone that fits this bill? (Don't look in the mirror for ideas) Yes, we all know of, and are, people that fit this bill. Love is, or should be, a never ending, or limited emotion. We should love as God loves us, but more important, we should love God. Without God, there is no love, because God is LOVE. With God we have and can love.....Love each other as I have loved you. Heard that before?

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for you, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
Ephesians 5:1,2

We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God. It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Every session of congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777. Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies. Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law a form of government in which the ruling power belongs to a few persons, the rule of few over many. AMERICANS SHOULD SELECT AND PREFER CHRISTIANS AS THEIR RULERS. How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten Commandments on display or "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the other 14% to SIT DOWN and SHUT UP!!!

But you have neglected the more important matters of the law - Justice, Mercy, and Faithfulness.
Matthew 23:23

If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

DID YOU KNOW?
As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court, you can see near the top of the building, a row of the worlds' law givers and each one is facing one in the middle, who is facing forward with a full frontal view..... it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!!
As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door. As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments is there! There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.
Now that you know all that, if you didn't before, ask yourself, why have THEY tried to remove God from our government and everyday lives??

Men, for the sake of making a living, forget to live. What is life, if not the enjoyment of Gods' creation.
