I contemplated this for awhile, before making my answer and I thought I would share my answer here, in case some of you were wondering the same thing. I study these things because: It takes poop to make a flower! Allow me to explain. When you plant a flower or a seed of any kind really, one thing you need in order for it to grow is compost, which is made up primarily of manure. Without that nourishment the plant wouldn't grow right. It might grow some but would'nt be strong and nurtured. Also we know from Proverbs 25:2 that it is the glory of Yah to conceal a matter. and the Glory of kings to search it out. In order to search we must dig. Like searching for treasurer we must dig through dirt and muck to find the truth that we are seeking. We know Yah works in mysterious ways, and he conceals things, in order for us to seek and search for him. Part of seeking and searching is digging through what is covering up what is hidden, and discerning between the "poop" and the "seed". The best example I can use to relate this is as follows: Most of us came out of Sunday churches. We know with our studies, our searching, and seeking for the true One GOD of Israel, that He is not the God presented in Sunday services, and that he is to be worshiped in a different way then that. However most of us did not come to that conclusion without going through the sunday church and their worship system. So in essence, using the analogy of the garden, the sunday church was the "manure" covering the "seed" so that it could be nourished until it was ready to come out of the ground into the real world! So while we know there is "untruth" in the sunday church, we cannot claim there is no truth in the sunday church. If that was the case we wouldn’t be where we are. It was the truth of the Father, the truth of the work of the son, the truth of the ministry of Ruach, and the truth of the book they presented that fertilized the seed of out Hebraic journey. This is not to say, "go back" for just as a maturing flower cannot return to the life of a seed, so we cannot return to the life of sunday worship. In conclusion, we found truth of YHWH concealed within the "manure" of the sunday church, then its logical that some truth may be found in the "manure" of Jewish history/tradition. And it is to our glory to search it out Provebs 25:2. In fact I have found things in my studies within these contexts that have lead me to conclude with more certainty that Yeshua is the Messiah and YHWH is the One True God of Israel!! So remember it takes Poop to make a flower!!! 2012-04-23 18:20:47 http://buds002place.ws/Buds002Place&p=BC1175C995B27E05E040A8C0AC00358A   The Circles of Time Is time ending? If you look at time as a line then it has a beginning and an end. 0_1000_2000_3000_4000_5000_6000_7000_8000_ But time dose not go in a line it goes around and around. Let us look at it as a Circle that has no beginning or end only points on it. Let us divide are Circle in to 4 parts now we have 4 points in time. Spring the start a time of planting the seeds, Summer the time to grow the seeds, Fall a time of brining in the harvest, Winter a time of Rest and enjoying the good seeds, Spring New Beginning of planting the seeds.   As you can see there is no end to time. Now God spoke the creation in to Being so cut the Circle in to 2 halves and look at it as a sound wave. Now we can make points into a Circle inside the 4 parts and have other Circles, Plants, animals all the way to the Life of Adam the 1st seed of man&woman or can put the Circles Inside bigger Circles. Blow is showing the Circles that have been created. Now I have been looking at Plaint X that came past the Earth on 7/15/2011. Now I was looking at what the star (Planet) was telling us as the stars are put in the havens by the Father to tell us the story of his creation and He started Turning on the Lights for me and below is what he was showing me. Now we have the Circle of the Earth and it is inside the Circle of Plant X. Plant X by the star dating carts and the Mayan Calendar it comes around every 4000 Years and this would be in the days of Noah so put that with the time chart of the Bible below and above is the Circles. Now let us cut the Circles in half on the center line and move the bottom so the End is in line with in the Beginning and look at what you have. 2012-04-23 08:09:39 http://buds002place.ws/Buds002Place&p=BB2BF2A2E993C03EE040A8C0AC002FCE Here are 4 Questions for you to anser with the word of the Bible  and not by the word of man or what you think.   What is Leaven?   What is bread?   What is the House of YHVH?   Do you have any Leaven Bread in Your House (Temple)?    Below is a Search Leaven, Bread and Temple. in the KJV of the Bible.   Leaven   (Exo 12:15 KJV) Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.   (Exo 12:19 KJV) Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.   (Exo 13:7 KJV) Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.   (Exo 34:25 KJV) Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.   (Lev 2:11 KJV) No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.   (Lev 6:17 KJV) It shall not be baken with leaven.

and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:   (Zec 6:13 KJV) Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.   (Zec 6:14 KJV) And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.   (Zec 6:15 KJV) And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.   (Zec 8:9 KJV) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.   (Mal 3:1 KJV) Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.   (Mat 4:5 KJV) Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,   (Mat 12:5 KJV) Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?   (Mat 12:6 KJV) But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.   (Mat 21:12 KJV) And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,   (Mat 21:14 KJV) And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.   (Mat 21:15 KJV) And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,   (Mat 21:23 KJV) And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?   (Mat 23:16 KJV) Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!   (Mat 23:17 KJV) Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?   (Mat 23:21 KJV) And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.   (Mat 23:35 KJV) That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.   (Mat 24:1 KJV) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.   (Mat 26:55 KJV) In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.   (Mat 26:61 KJV) And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.   (Mat 27:5 KJV) And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.   (Mat 27:40 KJV) And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.   (Mat 27:51 KJV) And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;   (Mar 11:11 KJV) And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.   (Mar 11:15 KJV) And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;   (Mar 11:16 KJV) And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.   (Mar 11:27 KJV) And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,   (Mar 12:35 KJV) And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?   (Mar 13:1 KJV) And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!   (Mar 13:3 KJV) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,   (Mar 14:49 KJV) I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.   (Mar 14:58 KJV) We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.   (Mar 15:29 KJV) And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,   (Mar 15:38 KJV) And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.   (Luk 1:9 KJV) According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.   (Luk 1:21 KJV) And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.   (Luk 1:22 KJV) And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.   (Luk 2:27 KJV) And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,   (Luk 2:37 KJV) And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.   (Luk 2:46 KJV) And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.   (Luk 4:9 KJV) And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:   (Luk 11:51 KJV) From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.   (Luk 18:10 KJV) Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.   (Luk 19:45 KJV) And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;   (Luk 19:47 KJV) And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,   (Luk 20:1 KJV) And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,   (Luk 21:5 KJV) And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,   (Luk 21:37 KJV) And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.   (Luk 21:38 KJV) And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.   (Luk 22:52 KJV) Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?   (Luk 22:53 KJV) When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.   (Luk 23:45 KJV) And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.   (Luk 24:53 KJV) And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.   (Joh 2:14 KJV) And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:   (Joh 2:15 KJV) And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;   (Joh 2:19 KJV) Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.   (Joh 2:20 KJV) Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?   (Joh 2:21 KJV) But he spake of the temple of his body.   (Joh 5:14 KJV) Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.   (Joh 7:14 KJV) Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.   (Joh 7:28 KJV) Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.   (Joh 8:2 KJV) And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.   (Joh 8:20 KJV) These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.   (Joh 8:59 KJV) Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.   (Joh 10:23 KJV) And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.   (Joh 11:56 KJV) Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?   (Joh 18:20 KJV) Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.   (Act 2:46 KJV) And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,   (Act 3:1 KJV) Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.   (Act 3:2 KJV) And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;   (Act 3:3 KJV) Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.   (Act 3:8 KJV) And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.   (Act 3:10 KJV) And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.   (Act 4:1 KJV) And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,   (Act 5:20 KJV) Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.   (Act 5:21 KJV) And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.   (Act 5:24 KJV) Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.   (Act 5:25 KJV) Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.   (Act 5:42 KJV) And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.   (Act 19:27 KJV) So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.   (Act 21:26 KJV) Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.   (Act 21:27 KJV) And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,   (Act 21:28 KJV) Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.   (Act 21:29 KJV) (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)   (Act 21:30 KJV) And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.   (Act 22:17 KJV) And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;   (Act 24:6 KJV) Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.   (Act 24:12 KJV) And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:   (Act 24:18 KJV) Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.   (Act 25:8 KJV) While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.   (Act 26:21 KJV) For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.   (1Co 3:16 KJV) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   (1Co 3:17 KJV) If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.   (1Co 6:19 KJV) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?   (1Co 8:10 KJV) For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;   (1Co 9:13 KJV) Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?   (2Co 6:16 KJV) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.   (Eph 2:21 KJV) In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:   (2Th 2:4 KJV) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.   (Rev 3:12 KJV) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.   (Rev 7:15 KJV) Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.   (Rev 11:1 KJV) And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.   (Rev 11:2 KJV) But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.   (Rev 11:19 KJV) And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.   (Rev 14:15 KJV) And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.   (Rev 14:17 KJV) And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.   (Rev 15:5 KJV) And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:   (Rev 15:6 KJV) And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.   (Rev 15:8 KJV) And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.   (Rev 16:1 KJV) And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.   (Rev 16:17 KJV) And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.   (Rev 21:22 KJV) And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.   2012-03-25 12:03:58 http://buds002place.ws/Buds002Place&p=B93126BA8FE113E2E040A8C0AC007D26   Gen 40:1  And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.  Gen 40:2  And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.  Gen 40:3  And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.  Gen 40:4  And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.  Gen 40:5  And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.  Gen 40:6  And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.  Gen 40:7  And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?  Gen 40:8  And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.  Gen 40:9  And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;  Gen 40:10  And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:  Gen 40:11  And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.  Gen 40:12  And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:  Gen 40:13  Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.  Gen 40:14  But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:  Gen 40:15  For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.  Gen 40:16  When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:  Gen 40:17  And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.  Gen 40:18  And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:  Gen 40:19  Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.  Gen 40:20  And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.  Gen 40:21  And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:  Gen 40:22  But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.  Gen 40:23  Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.    as Profice in this we see that the chief butler was restored.

Here’s a lesson about qualifying for the Kingdom of Yahweh.     “I ain’t never seen the likes since I’s been born, how the people keep a-comin’ and the train’s done gone.” These were the words of an old friend of mine, the railroad stationmaster of my boyhood hometown. The son of a former slave, living deep in the southern United States, he advanced himself to the highest position in our depot through a lifetime of dedicated service to the railroad. I remember him with white hair, standing tall with dignity that I envied as a child. In those days, a stationmaster was an important person. He was responsible for the safety and welfare of everyone who entered the station. All employees had to account to him. His watch was the official railroad time. He directed the loading and unloading of all train passengers and freight. I admired him because of all the gold on his arm, each gold braid on his uniform represented seven years of service on the railroad, and each star (and there were many) a position that he held. He called himself, and was affectionately addressed by all, as Ol’ Man Moses, because his word was the law of the railroad station. I never knew him by any other name. By the time I met him, he had become a philosopher and would talk to any who would listen. To this day I can still hear him saying to me, “I ain’t never seen the likes since I’s been born, how the people keep a-comin’ and the train’s done gone.” There is a spiritual lesson embodied in the old stationmaster’s words of wisdom. As true believers, our time is short. It won’t be long till we must board a train, as it were, bound for the Kingdom of Yahweh and eternal life. Yahweh is even now setting His Congregation on the spiritual track heading for His Kingdom. There is not much time left to prepare for departure. Are we going to be on time to board that train, or be among those left behind? There will be many, Scripture warns, who will not be on board. They will be left standing at the gate pleading to be included, but will be denied entrance to Yahweh’s Kingdom (Matthew 25:10-12). Our stationmaster’s responsibility was to rule that railroad station. No one boarded or left the train unless he gave his permission. You may not have always seen him because he directed others who served under him, but his job was critical to the lives of all who entered the station. Two nonstop trains, mainliners, roared by our station daily. One came from the west, going east; the other came moments later from the east, traveling west. The trains rolled through at between 40 and 80 miles per hour. Our stationmaster made sure that the tracks were clear of people and debris and that nothing would endanger the lives of those in and around the station. A commuter train left our station every morning to take working people and shoppers to a nearby big city. In order to be on the job by 8, you had to be at the station’s train gate by 7 o’clock at the latest, with ticket in hand, to board the commuter train. It stood waiting for its morning load of passengers about five tracks out. You had to be aboard and in your seat no later than 7:04, because at 7:05 the mainliner from the west came rushing through the yard. If you were on the tracks then, you might easily have been startled by the roar of the train, become frightened and not known what to do as the train bore down upon you. If you were not hit by that train, seconds later the mainliner from the east could easily have trapped you on the tracks and killed you. Ol’ Man Moses, our stationmaster, closed the gate promptly at 7 each morning, and no one went through the gate after that time. Even though you could see the commuter train still standing on the tracks, Ol’ Man Moses refused you permission to cross the tracks to board. On any given day latecomers entered our station wanting to board the commuter train. Our beloved old stationmaster would refuse them all, stand, shake his head and say, “I ain’t never seen the likes since I’s been born, how the people keep a-comin’ and the train’s done gone.” He was inflexible in this rule. He knew its importance. When he was a young man working in a much lower position at that same station, a mother and her two children were caught on the tracks when the mainliners came through. The woman stood transfixed, not knowing what to do or where to go. At the last moment she lurched with one child in hand to miss being hit by the train. The other child was left standing on the tracks. He was killed instantly. Ol’ Man Moses was given the job of picking up the remains of the dead child. The mainliner had hit the boy and carried his body hundreds of yards down the track. Tears of anger and sorrow came to Moses’ eyes and he said bitterly to himself, “If I were stationmaster, I would never have allowed this to happen.” Many years later he became the stationmaster at this same depot in my hometown. He daily stood at the gate, remembering well that incident and his promise to himself. No one was permitted on the tracks after 7 to board the commuter train. No one would ever again be permitted to risk his life crossing the tracks when the mainliners were coming through. Excuses, excuses Most who came to board the 7:05 commuter were on time and passed through the gate before 7 a.m. But there were others who came late, with their excuses. To them all, Ol’ Man Moses would say, “The train’s done gone.” A housewife, late for the train, might come seconds after the gate was closed and plead: “I had to get up early this morning and get my husband off to work. I had to get my three children ready for school. I got here as soon as I could. Let me board! I can see the train. It is still there!” Ol’ Man Moses would tell her: “The train’s done gone. It is past 7. Your life is in jeopardy if I let you go across that track. The mainliner does not stop. It could take your life. And if the first one does not get you, another one will because it is coming from the other direction. I can’t let you go out there.” Some came and said: “I left the hotel on time and gave the taxi driver a generous tip, but the traffic was heavy and he got me here late. It is not my fault that I am late. It is the taxi drivers fault.” Some would persist when denied permission to pass through the gate, saying: “But I can see the train!” But Ol’ Man Moses would shake his head and say to all the latecomers: “You don’t understand. The train’s done gone.” One day a young lad on crutches came hobbling as fast as he could. He excused himself by saying: “You see, I am handicapped. I had an accident last night, and it took me longer than I thought to get dressed this morning. Please let me on the train.” But to him as well, Ol’ Man Moses said, “I’m sorry, but the train’s done gone.” And so it went. Many came with their excuses, but Moses never opened the gate to allow any latecomers to board the 7:05 commuter train. Through the years he was stationmaster, many were left to watch the train leave while they stood behind that gate with Ol’ Man Moses’ words fresh in their minds: “The train’s done gone.” What is your excuse? Many times we are inclined to offer excuses for not doing what we should have done, when we are late, when we fail to plan ahead, when we don’t keep our word, times we seek to justify ourselves to escape punishment or embarrassment or other negative consequences of our actions. The Bible gives us many examples of people who brought excuses to Yahweh. But Yahweh accepted none of them. We need to resolve that we will never again give Yahweh an excuse for failure to do His will. Mat 25:10 But they going away to buy, the bridegroom came. And those ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut. Mat 25:11 And afterwards, the rest of the virgins also came, saying, Master, Master, open to us. Mat 25:12 But answering, he said, Truly I say to you, I do not know you. Mat 25:13 Therefore, be alert, for you do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes. There is an element of finality in Yahweh’s plan in our lives. There is a time ahead when the gate, our spiritual entrance, as it were, into the Kingdom of Yahweh, will be closed. Someone will be standing there, saying to those who did not take their spiritual preparation seriously enough: “It’s too late, the gate is closed. You may not enter.” One of our favorite excuses has been popularized in a song: “I did it my way”. Have you ever considered that this is an excuse? It is. Yahweh tells us in His Word, “Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). Perhaps the ones chosen for eternal life can be compared to the passengers who prepared and readied themselves to be standing at the gate by 7 a.m. to board the train for their destination. They followed all the rules. The others, late and offering excuses, say, in effect, “I did it my way”. They feel justified, the exceptions to the rule, though late, they feel they deserve to be rewarded equally with those who were on time and ready. But our human way is not good enough for eternal life. We must prepare and meet Yahweh’s requirements to be accepted by Him into His Kingdom. Adam and Eve had their excuses for disobeying Yahweh (Genesis 3:9-13). Aaron had his after making the golden calf idol (Exodus 32:21-24). Israel had excuses for not entering the land Yahweh promised them for their inheritance (Numbers 13:28-33). King Saul was rejected from being king over Israel because he had an I’ll-do-it-my-way attitude toward following Yahweh’s instructions (1 Samuel 15:1-23), he did not obey Yahweh (notice 1 Samuel 15:1-3, 7-9, 13-16, 19-23). Yahshua spoke to another group of excuse makers in Luke 14. They too, were invited to receive eternal life in Yahweh’s Kingdom, but each wanted to do things his own way, and all were rejected. Their place was given to others (Luke 14:15-24). Even some of Yahweh’s greatest servants offered excuses at first, but they recognized their error, overcame and went on to serve Yahweh mightily (Jeremiah 1:4-7, Isaiah 6:5-8, Exodus 4:10-13). Yahweh is merciful. There is still time for us to put away our excuses and prepare spiritually for the Kingdom of Yahweh. Thankfully for us, the train has not gone yet. But it will not be much longer before it does. Any who persist in offering excuses for disobeying Yahweh, thinking their own way is good enough, will surely lose their reward (Matthew 7:21-23). All excuses must be eliminated. The believer’s life must be lived without excuses. We must do things Yahweh’s way, not our own. I hope that what I learned from that wise old stationmaster many years ago will help you in your quest for eternal life. He hoped that everyone would take getting to the train on time seriously and be there, ticket in hand, ready to board by 7 at the very latest. One morning our local bank was robbed. The robber came to the gate just after 7 a.m., thinking to get on the train and escape. No one knew yet what he had done. As usual, Ol’ Man Moses was at the gate. It was closed and locked. The robber demanded that the old stationmaster open the gate. But Moses said, as he had so many times before, “No, the train’s done gone.” The robber replied: “Don’t give me that. I can see the train. Open the gate or I’ll shoot you.”Again the stationmaster stated, “The train’s done gone.” Seeing that Moses was adamant, the robber took out his pistol and shot my friend twice killing him on the spot. The robber then jumped the gate with his satchel full of money and ran across the tracks. The mainliner from the west was passing our station at that exact time. The robber, intent on his escape, likely did not see or hear the train boring down on him. The force created by the onrushing train threw the robber, now murderer, off balance. He fell and then rolled onto the next set of tracks. Within seconds the speeding mainliner from the east came roaring through, instantly amputating both his legs, crushing the satchel and scattering the bank’s money all over the station yard. For the rest of his life, spent in prison with stumps where his legs used to be, I am sure the robber and murderer well remembered the stationmaster’s last words: “The train’s done gone.” Not much time left In Deuteronomy 30:11-16, Yahweh tells us that His laws of life are not far off or hidden from us. It is up to us to determine not to offer excuses for sin, excuses that will lead only to our spiritual destruction. It is Yahweh’s desire that each of us choose the way of obedience to all His laws, the way that leads us to eternal life. There is not much time left to prepare for Yahshua’s return and the end of this age. Look into your life now, while there is yet time, to find what excuses you have for not doing Yahweh’s will, and cast them out. It is time to be sure you are ready for the return of Yahshua to this earth. Be sure you are there, ready and on time to meet our returning Savior Yahshua, and not a moment late, to be told with the rebellious and disobedient, putting it in the words of the old stationmaster I knew and loved,  “The train’s done gone.”    I hope that you have enjoyed this as much as I did and may you be there long before the Gates are Closed so we can enjoy The Ride.   Copy From http://www.coyhwh.com/ Disclaimer Please feel free to copy and share these files.

You nearly broad sided that car!" My father yelled at me. "Can't you do anything right?"  Those words hurt worse than blows. I turned my head toward the elderly man in the seat beside me, daring me to challenge him. A lump rose in my throat as I averted my eyes. I wasn't prepared for another battle.  "I saw the car, Dad . Please don't yell at me when I'm driving...."  My voice was measured and steady, sounding far calmer than I really felt.  Dad glared at me, then turned away and settled back. At home I left Dad in front of the television and went outside to collect my thoughts.... dark, heavy clouds hung in the air with a promise of rain. The rumble of distant thunder seemed to echo my inner turmoil. What could I do about him?  Dad had been a lumberjack in Washington and Oregon . He had enjoyed being outdoors and had reveled in pitting his strength against the forces of nature. He had entered grueling lumberjack competitions, and had placed often. The shelves in his house were filled with trophies that attested to his prowess.  The years marched on relentlessly. The first time he couldn't lift a heavy log, he joked about it; but later that same day I saw him outside alone, straining to lift it. He became irritable whenever anyone teased him about his advancing age, or when he couldn't do something he had done as a younger man.  Four days after his sixty-seventh birthday, he had a heart attack. An ambulance sped him to the hospital while a paramedic administered CPR to keep blood and oxygen flowing.  At the hospital, Dad was rushed into an operating room. He was lucky; he survived. But something inside Dad died. His zest for life was gone. He obstinately refused to follow doctor's orders. Suggestions and offers of help were turned aside with sarcasm and insults. The number of visitors thinned, then finally stopped altogether. Dad was left alone..  My husband, Dick, and I asked Dad to come live with us on our small farm. We hoped the fresh air and rustic atmosphere would help him adjust.  Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. It seemed nothing was satisfactory. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated and moody. Soon I was taking my pent-up anger out on Dick. We began to bicker and argue.  Alarmed, Dick sought out our pastor and explained the situation. The clergyman set up weekly counseling appointments for us. At the close of each session he prayed, asking God to soothe Dad 's troubled mind.  But the months wore on and God was silent. Something had to be done and it was up to me to do it.  The next day I sat down with the phone book and methodically called each of the mental health clinics listed in the Yellow Pages. I explained my problem to each of the sympathetic voices that answered in vain.  Just when I was giving up hope, one of the voices suddenly exclaimed, "I just read something that might help you! Let me go get the article.."  I listened as she read. The article described a remarkable study done at a nursing home. All of the patients were under treatment for chronic depression. Yet their attitudes had improved dramatically when they were given responsibility for a dog.  I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon.. After I filled out a questionnaire, a uniformed officer led me to the kennels. The odor of disinfectant stung my nostrils as I moved down the row of pens. Each contained five to seven dogs. Long-haired dogs, curly-haired dogs,black dogs, spotted dogs all jumped up, trying to reach me. I studied each one but rejected one after the other for various reasons too big, too small, too much hair. As I neared the last pen a dog in the shadows of the far corner struggled to his feet, walked to the front of the run and sat down. It was a pointer, one of the dog world's aristocrats. But this was a caricature of the breed.  Years had etched his face and muzzle with shades of gray. His hip bones jutted out in lopsided triangles. But it was his eyes that caught and held my attention. Calm and clear, they beheld me unwaveringly.  I pointed to the dog. "Can you tell me about him?" The officer looked, then shook his head in puzzlement. "He's a funny one. Appeared out of nowhere and sat in front of the gate. We brought him in, figuring someone would be right down to claim him. That was two weeks ago and we've heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow." He gestured helplessly.  As the words sank in I turned to the man in horror.. "You mean you're going to kill him?"  "Ma'am," he said gently, "that's our policy. We don't have room for every unclaimed dog."  I looked at the pointer again. The calm brown eyes awaited my decision. "I'll take him," I said. I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me.. When I reached the house I honked the horn twice. I was helping my prize out of the car when Dad shuffled onto the front porch... "Ta-da! Look what I got for you, Dad !" I said excitedly.  Dad looked, then wrinkled his face in disgust. "If I had wanted a dog I would have gotten one. And I would have picked out a better specimen than that bag of bones. Keep it! I don't want it" Dad waved his arm scornfully and turned back toward the house.  Anger rose inside me. It squeezed together my throat muscles and pounded into my temples. "You'd better get used to him, Dad . He's staying!"  Dad ignored me... "Did you hear me, Dad ?" I screamed. At those words Dad whirled angrily, his hands clenched at his sides, his eyes narrowed and blazing with hate. We stood glaring at each other like duelists, when suddenly the pointer pulled free from my grasp. He wobbled toward my dad and sat down in front of him. Then slowly, carefully, he raised his paw...  Dad 's lower jaw trembled as he stared at the uplifted paw Confusion replaced the anger in his eyes. The pointer waited patiently. Then Dad was on his knees hugging the animal.  It was the beginning of a warm and intimate friendship. Dad named the pointer Cheyenne . Together he and Cheyenne explored the community. They spent long hours walking down dusty lanes. They spent reflective moments on the banks of streams, angling for tasty trout. They even started to attend Sunday services together, Dad sitting in a pew and Cheyenne lying quietly at is feet.  Dad and Cheyenne were inseparable throughout the next three years.. Dad 's bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne made many friends. Then late one night I was startled to feel Cheyenne 's cold nose burrowing through our bed covers. He had never before come into our bedroom at night.. I woke Dick, put on my robe and ran into my father's room. Dad lay in his bed, his face serene. But his spirit had left quietly sometime during the night.  Two days later my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad 's bed. I wrapped his still form in the rag rug he had slept on. As Dick and I buried him near a favorite fishing hole, I silently thanked the dog for the help he had given me in restoring Dad 's peace of mind.  The morning of Dad 's funeral dawned overcast and dreary. This day looks like the way I feel, I thought, as I walked down the aisle to the pews reserved for family. I was surprised to see the many friends Dad and Cheyenne had made filling the church. The pastor began his eulogy. It was a tribute to both Dad and the dog who had changed his life.  And then the pastor turned to Hebrews 13:2. "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it."  "I've often thanked God for sending that angel," he said.  For me, the past dropped into place, completing a puzzle that I had not seen before: the sympathetic voice that had just read the right article... Cheyenne 's unexpected appearance at the animal shelter...his calm acceptance and complete devotion to my father...and the proximity of their deaths. And suddenly I understood. I knew that God had answered my prayers after all.  Life is too short for drama or petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and forgive quickly. Live While You Are Alive. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time. And if you don't send this link to at least 4 people ---nobody cares? But do share this with someone. Lost time can never be found.  God answers our prayers in His time...... ..and his way..not ours.. Thank God for that, He dose not Mess up. We Do   2011-02-11 08:15:30 http://buds002place.ws/Buds002Place&p=94AB4128FEF84932E040A8C0AC001F58   He's hurting again, Lord, and there's nothing I can do about it. It's been such a long ordeal. How much can he endure? She moved out . . . she's gone . . . what did I say? What did I do? God, I tried so hard to be the mother she needed me to be. How long is this going to go on? I don't think I can endure the loneliness another single day. Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you. Psalm 55:22 Casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you. I Peter 5:7 What do you do with your burdens? People and circumstances that seem to drain every ounce of your strength, things you would like to give to the Lord but just can't seem to let go of? God showed me how to give my burdens to Him . . . a simple little exercise, but oh so wonderful to experience. I'd like to share it with you. You'll need about 30 minutes alone. Gather a few things together from home: an envelope, a piece of paper, a pen, a watch (preferably with a second hand), and a felt-tipped pen. Go buy a helium-filled balloon. Then immediately go somewhere where there are no obstacles, no trees or buildings--maybe a deserted football stadium or a park or a lake. Take all your paraphernalia with you to the edge of the water or the center of the field. Write about your burden on the balloon with your felt-tipped pen, anything that will help you associate that balloon with your problem. Find a rock about the size of a half-brick, and hold it and the string to your balloon in your hand, lifting it with a straight arm at a 45-degree angle. Heavy, isn't it? Begin talking to the Lord about your burden--all your thoughts, your fears, the pain, the destroyed dreams. As you are praying, your arm is going to get awfully tired. Keep right on praying. Tell Him everything. Any of the thoughts that you have had--vomit it all out--if there is bitterness, anger, depression--all of it. By now you're crying, and you can't separate the emotional pain from the physical pain you're experiencing because your arm is hurting so badly. Then, when you cannot hold your arm up another single second, say something like this: "Lord, You have commanded me to give my burdens to You. I can't handle this. It's too much for me. I can't hold onto it any longer. You must take it." In Jesus name I Pray. Drop the rock, release the string, and watch that burden float up into the heavens--into the open, waiting arms of God. Thank Him for telling you to give Him your burden--and for taking it. Look at your watch and record the time and date on your piece of paper. Write this: On (date/time), I gave my burden to the Lord. And He took it. (Print that last line.) Look up into the sky and find that tiny speck. It's His--it is no longer yours. It's not in your hand. He told you to give it to Him, and you did. Now fold your paper and put it in your envelope (where is the balloon? catch one last glimpse of it). Seal it, and on the outside write "GOD" and then the date. When you get home, get an index card and cut it into strips. On each strip write just the date. Put a strip over the sink, one in your bathroom medicine cabinet by your toothbrush, one on the dash of your car--anyplace where you can glance at it--and thank Jesus for taking your burden. (Close your eyes and visualize that speck in the sky again.) Please know that I love you. I understand. Oh, not completely, but I long to help. I pray that this simple exercise will give you peace. Remember, your emotions are not the barometer of peace. KNOWING that He has taken your burden and will handle it with wisdom and loving tenderness is the key to peace. (Remember how that balloon went straight to Him when you released it?) Think on these things. Just as my child brings his broken toys with tears for me to mend, I took my broken dreams to God because He was my Friend. But then . . . instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone, I hung around and tried to help with ways that were my own. At last I snatched them back and cried, "How could You be so slow?" "What could I do, My child?" He said. "You never did let go."

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and Failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. 'We must do something about father,' said the son. 'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.' So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up. ' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, Neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things: A rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and little children. I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life..' I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.You nee d to be able to throw something back sometimes. I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, Your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that you should pass this on to everyone you care about. I just did. FRIENDSHIP CANDLE NOTICE AT THE END, THE DATE THE CANDLE WAS STARTED. GONNA GIVE YOU GOOSE BUMPS.

If yes...what does that make you?....a liar. #8 Have you ever stolen anything or taken anything that did not belong to you...no matter how small? If yes...what does that make you?...a thief. #7 Have you ever committed adultery? If you think not...think again...did you know that the bible says that even if you just look at someone in lust, you've committed adultery in your heart (Matthew 5:27 - 28).  Have you ever looked at someone with lust?  What does that make you?  That makes you an adulterer. #3 Have you ever taken the lord's name in vain...even casually? When we take the almighty God's name in vain that is called blasphemy.   God says that he will not hold anyone blameless who takes his name in vain.  What does that make you?  It makes you a blasphemer. #6 Have you ever murdered anyone? The bible says that if you hate someone, you are a murderer in God's eyes (1 John 3:15).  God does not simply judge actions...he knows the intentions of the heart. #1 Have you always put God first in your life? God says that you should be his primary love, even above your spouse, your kids, even your own lives.  Have you done that? #2 Have you ever made an idol, a god that suits you? Have you pursued money more than God?  If so, you made money your idol.  How about your work...then work is your idol.  If you think that God is loving and he would never send me to hell.  Then you're creating your own God to fit your own life and that is called idolatry.  It's the oldest sin in the bible. #5 Have you always treated your parents in a way that pleases God? If not, that is considered a serious sin. #10 Have you ever coveted or desired something that did not belong to you? It reveals a lack of gratitude for what God has blessed you with. #4 Have you kept the sabbath holy? God requires us to take one day out of seven for us to rest and honor him. How did you do? The bible says - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Romans 3:23-24 (NKJV) If God judged you by the 10 commandments on the day of judgement , will you be innocent or guilty? If you're honest with yourself, you would have to admit that you did not keep these 10 commandments.  Your own conscience convicts you and tells you that you're a lier, thief, an adulterer by hear, even a murderer.  Think about it and be honest with yourself...will you be innocent or guilty? You might say that it's been a long time since I sinned.  Imagine if you told said that in a court...judge, I know I'm guilty but it's been months or even years.  He won't ignore your crime.  The court punishes war criminals even decades after the fact.  So, would you be innocent or guilty? You might say that you've been more good than bad, or you might say that you're not as bad as someone else you know.  If you have broken the law, it does not matter how many good things you have done.  You will be held accountable. Will you go to heaven or hell? If you're honest, you would have to say "Hell".  Some people say that "yes, I'm guilty, however, God is a good God, so he'll let me in. Imagine this.  You're standing in a courtroom guilty of a very serious crime.  The judge says, "you're guilty as charged....is there anything you would like to say before sentencing?"  You answer, "Yes judge.  I'm sorry for what I have done.  Please forgive me.  Can a good judge let you go simply because you're sorry?  There is a ,000 fine that needs to get paid.  He would not be a good judge and would do injustice to the people who got hurt if he just let you go.  Imagine, if you were the one violated, would you feel that the judge was fair if he would let the guilty off the hook?  The fine has to be paid. The bible makes it clear that if we die in our sins, we will go to hell.  So will you go to heaven or hell?  Hell is not a place where you want to be...it's total agony for eternity. Let me just make something clear.  I'm not here to say that I'm any better than you...probably worse.  I'm guilty...we are all guilty if we're just honest with ourselves.  So what can we do? THE GOOD NEWS! There is hope for me, for you, for us.  God made a way for us to be forgiven.  The question is, how do you access this forgiveness?  God loved us so much that he sent his own son to suffer and die in our place, taking on our punishment for you and I so we can live.  It is very simple...you broke the law and Jesus paid the fine.  Then Jesus rose from the dead and defeated death.  The bible says...if you repent - turn away from your sins - and place your trust in Jesus Christ as your savior, God will forgive you and grant you everlasting life.  He will change you from the inside out and will make you a new person in Christ.  God loves you.  Salvation is a gift from God.  You can not earn it, because it is impossible to earn it. Pray this prayer. "Dear God, I confess that I'm a sinner and that I need your forgiveness.  I'm truly sorry for my sins and humbly ask you to forgive me and cleanse me.  I believe that Jesus died on the cross in my place and that he rose again for my salvation.  In faith I accept from you the gift of eternal life, and, with your help, I promise to serve you as long as I live.  I pray in Jesus' name.  Amen" The 10 Commandments of God 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 5. Honour thy father and thy mother. 6. Thou shalt not kill. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 10. Thou shalt not covet.

I adjusted my  tie.  I got there and sat..............  In a pew just in time.  Bowing my head in  prayer......... As I closed my eyes.  I  saw the shoe of the man next to me..... Touching  my own. I sighed.  With plenty of room on  either side...... I thought, 'Why must our soles  touch?'  It bothered me, his shoe  touching mine... But it didn't bother him  much.   A  prayer began: 'Our Father'............. I  thought, 'This man  with the shoes,  has no  pride. They're dusty, worn, and  scratched. Even worse, there are holes on the  side!'  'Thank You for blessings,' the  prayer went on.  The shoe man  said............... A quiet 'Amen.'  I  tried to focus on the prayer....... But my  thoughts were on his shoes again. Aren't  we supposed to look our best. When walking  through that door?  'Well, this certainly  isn't it,' I thought, Glancing toward the floor.   Then the prayer was ended........... And  the songs  of praise began.  The shoe man was  certainly loud..... Sounding proud as he sang..   His voice lifted the rafters........ His  hands were raised high.  The Lord could  surely hear. The shoe man's voice from the sky.   It was time for the offering...... And  what I threw in was steep.  I watched as  the shoe man reached.... Into his pockets so  deep. I saw what was pulled  out............ What the shoe man put in.   Then I heard a soft 'clink' . As when  silver hits tin.  The sermon really bored  me......... To tears, and that's no lie.   It was the same for the shoe man... For  tears fell from his eyes.  At the end of  the service...... As is the custom here.   We must greet new visitors, And show  them all good cheer.  But I felt moved  somehow............... And wanted to meet the  shoe man.  So after the closing  prayer......... I reached over and shook his  hand.  He was old and his skin was  dark..... And his hair was truly a mess.   But I thanked him for coming.........  For being our guest.  He said, 'My names'  Charlie............ I'm glad to meet you, my  friend.'  There were tears in his  eyes........ But he had a large, wide grin.   'Let me explain,' he said..........  Wiping tears from his eyes.  'I've been  coming here for months.... And you're the first  to say 'Hi.''  'I know that my  appearance.........'Is not like all the rest.   'But I really do try...............'To  always look my best.'  'I always clean  and polish my shoes..'Before my very long walk.   'But by the time I get  here.........'They're dirty and dusty, like  chalk.'  My heart filled with  pain.......... And I swallowed to hide my tears.   As he continued to apologize........ For  daring to sit so near  He said, 'When I  get here...........'I know I must look a sight.   'But I thought if I could touch  you..'Then maybe our souls might unite.'   I was silent for a moment...........  Knowing whatever was said  Would pale in  comparison... I spoke from my heart, not my  head.  'Oh, you've touched me,' I  said......'And taught me, in part;  'That  the best of any man............'Is what is found  in his heart.'  The rest, I  thought,.................. This shoe man will  never know.  Like just how thankful I  really am... That his dirty old shoe touched my  soul You are special to me and you have  made a difference in my life.  I respect you,  and truly cherish you.  Send  this to your friends,  No matter how often  you talk,   Or  how close you are,   And  send it to the person who sent it to  you.   Let old friends know you haven't forgotten  them, and tell new friends you never will.   Remember, everyone needs a  friend..   Someday  you might feel like you have no friends at  all.   Just  remember this and take comfort in knowing  that   Someone  out there cares about  you.....   And  always will.         Live  each day as your last,as it could very well  be!!!!! 2010-09-10 08:57:01 http://buds002place.ws/Buds002Place&p=87FC1AF7759ECF71E040A8C0AC000B2D Two Horses   Author - unknown Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing.... Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him. This alone is amazing. If you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell.   Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to the horse's halter is a small bell. It lets the blind friend know where the other horse is, so he can follow. As you stand and watch these two friends, You'll see that the horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse, And that the blind horse will listen for the bell and then slowly walk To where the other horse is, Trusting that he will not be led astray. When the horse with the bell returns To the shelter of the barn each evening, It stops occasionally and looks back, Making sure that the blind friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.   Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect Or because we have problems or challenges. He watches over us and even brings others into our lives To help us when we are in need.. Sometimes we are the blind horse Being guided by the little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives. Other times we are the guide horse, helping others to find their way.... Good friends are like that... You may not always see them, but you know they are always there. Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours. And remember... Be kinder than necessary- Everyone you meet is fighting Some kind of battle..
