Good Morning Jesus, We Are So Glad to Be Able to Talk to You This Morning. Interviewer A PLACE TO CALL HOME February 16, 2020 “REFRESH MY HEART IN CHIRST” Philemon 1:20 A SHORT INTERVIEW WITH JESUS (PART 1, TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK) I pray that the peace & mercy given by Father God, King Jesus & the Holy Spirit flows into each of your lives. I have often wondered what an interview with Jesus in our world today would be like. What do you think He would say? Using the Bible & language of His time let’s look at what He might say. Interviewer: Good morning Jesus, we are so glad to be able to talk to You this morning. Jesus: Shalom My child. (Shalom is Hebrew means many things: Hello, Goodbye, peace, harmony, wholeness, prosperity, tranquility. What a great word!) Interviewer: I want to thank You for taking time to be here. I know that You are a busy God. Jesus: It is true that I am busy, but not the way you know busy. If you will read in the Bible inspired by the Holy Spirit in Isaiah 55:8 & 9 you will understand that My thoughts are not your thoughts & My ways are not your ways; as the heavens are higher than the earth are My thoughts & ways. I am totally “aware” of everything that is going on all the time, everywhere. I am Omnipresent (knowing everything), I am Omniscient (everywhere at the same time), and I am Omnipotent (all powerful – no limitations). Interviewer: What happened to Your perfect world? Do we have hope? Jesus: When evil entered into the world thru Adam & Eve falling for the lies & wicked schemes of the devil all of My creations began to erode from their original state of perfection Paul said in Romans 5- through one transgression (Adam) there resulted condemnation (condemned to punishment) to all men, even so through one act of righteousness (Jesus) there resulted justification (God’s righteous act of removing guilt & the penalty of sin) of life to all men (& women). For as through the one man’s (Adam) disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One (Jesus) the many will be made righteous. However, let not your hearts be troubled, I came to save the world & have plans for your future. I am your hope! (John 14:6)- I am the way, the truth & the life; no one comes to the Father except thru Me. Interviewer: We are seeing so many natural disasters, so much unrest, there seems to be more evil today than ever before. Jesus: Yes, there are several books in the Bible that tell these things in the “last days.” Let me quote 2of them: 2 Tim 3:1-5- But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. Matt 24:4-8- And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ & will mislead many. You will be hearing of wars & rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, & kingdom against kingdom, & in various places there will be famines & earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. I leave you to think over these things of which we spoke. Again, John 14: Do not let your heart be troubled, believe in God & believe in Me also, Shalom My children. Thank You, Holy Spirit for sharing the message with me in order to share it with others. Amen, Mary Bowden THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING IN LIFE First, we must understand that we really own nothing; everything belongs to God. He allows us to live on His earth & appreciate those things that are beautiful. He The message lends it to us while we are here & we should be good a bove was stewards of His possessions.

Life’s circumstances will be good and bad at various times, but God works them all for our good to refine us, to become more precious than gold.

  • August in Buck Creek
    August in Buck Creek By Larissa Lynn Wood Table of Contents Welcome 1 The Horse Trough 3 The Ginseng Poacher 20 Belly Laugh 34 Pokeweed 39 Painter 43 Spatula 59 Noodle the Mole 62 The Deer 75 Hernando 81 The Snails in the Tank 86 Fat Man 100 4 WELCOME Buck Creek, North Carolina, August, 2017. You drive in through trees so clogged with rhododendron and dog-hobble that the first settlers, when asked how they passed through these mountains, said they swam through them. The highway curves along the river, hugging tight to the sides of the ridges, and if you aren’t from around here, you drive slow. The locals will call you a Floridiot, even if your tag proves otherwise. You stop at the pull offs for the waterfalls and get wet in the spray of white mist. You follow the turns until the trees start to thin. More sun shines through the leaves. The gorge widens to the valley where the ditches thicken with grass and Black-eyed Susans, yellow flowers with deep black centers. Chicory and ironweed bloom in spills of blue and purple on the banks. You drive past the Harrisons’ stand for wild honey. The jars are full of June’s sourwood nectar, distilled by the bees to a glowing orange. Open the windows, and the air is cooler up here in the hills and smells like wild onions shorn short with the grass. Cows watch you pass, jaws munching hard. A tall mohawked boy and a short lumpy girl are walking in the loose gravel of the shoulder.

  • Welcome to Bethel, the “House of God”… We Believe That Christ Is Truly Present When We Gather As the Church
    Welcome to Bethel, the “House of God”… We believe that Christ is truly present when we gather as the Church. The table before you is the Lord's table where Christ is the Host. He welcomes all to eat with him. To everyone who seeks his love and forgiveness today, he says, “Come”. Welcome Prelude “Patriotic Medley” Gathering Prayers In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. God of heaven and earth, you come in close and make us yours. Guide us by your Spirit to confess our sin, embrace your forgiveness, and seek the way you set before us in your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. With honesty of heart, let us confess our sin. Silence for reflection. Merciful God, forgive us. Our will is bound to sin, and we cannot break free. We have spoken when we should have kept quiet. Silence. We were silent when we should have said something. Silence. We acted when we knew better. Silence. We were still when we know we should have moved. Silence. For the wrong we have done, for the good we have failed to do, have mercy on us, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.

  • A Qualitative Content Analysis of Kanye West's Twitter Practice
    The Life Of Kanye A Qualitative Content Analysis of Kanye West’s Twitter Practice. 15.08.2016 Lund University M.Sc. in Media and Communications Studies Gloe Lucas 920721-T197 !1 ABSTRACT Celebrity Twitter use has recently been the subject of celebrity studies. Performing authenticity and intimacy as well as engaging interactively with followers are considered central characteristics of ‘micro-celebrity’ practice, which is widely considered to be extensively utilized by celebrities in their use of Twitter. Taking this framework suggested by celebrity studies as a point of departure, this thesis focuses on the case study of Kanye West, whose recent use of Twitter has been given much attention by celebrity news media due to his controversial tweets. In carrying out a content analysis of this case study’s tweets, this thesis aims to understand the way Kanye West is using Twitter, what strategies he is employing and how this links to the structural implications of celebrity. As the findings suggest, Kanye West employs two main strategies in his usage of Twitter: In his first strategy he uses Twitter as a tool to promote his celebrity commodity, increase his celebrity capital and create an elite network of fellow celebrities. The second strategy aims at creating an authentic and personal narrative that redefines and extends Kanye West’s celebrity persona. Within this second strategy, “stream-of-consciousness” writing was identified as a unique strategy employed by Kanye West in his Twitter practice. Keywords: Celebrity, Twitter, Micro-Celebrity, Authenticity, Intimacy, Performance. Number of words: 20.650 !2 Acknowledgements I hereby want to thank those that enabled and helped to create this paper.

  • 1 Amazing Grace
    1Amazing Grace BY JOHN NEWTON 1. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saves a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found; Was bound, but now I’m free. 2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fear relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. 3. Through many dangers, toils and snares We have already come; 'Twas grace that brought us safe thus far, And grace will lead us on. 4. When we've been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we’d first begun. 5. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saves a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found; Was bound, but now I'm free. 2Just aCloser Walk With Thee TRADITIONAL 1. Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea; Daily walking close with Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. 2. Through the days of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. 3. When my feeble life is o'er Time for me will be no more; Guide me gently, safely on To thy shore, dear Lord, to thy shore. 4. I am weak, but Thou art strong. Jesus, keep me from all wrong. I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

  • The Symbolic Rape of Representation: a Rhetorical Analysis of Black Musical Expression on Billboard's Hot 100 Charts
    THE SYMBOLIC RAPE OF REPRESENTATION: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF BLACK MUSICAL EXPRESSION ON BILLBOARD'S HOT 100 CHARTS Richard Sheldon Koonce A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2006 Committee: John Makay, Advisor William Coggin Graduate Faculty Representative Lynda Dee Dixon Radhika Gajjala ii ABSTRACT John J. Makay, Advisor The purpose of this study is to use rhetorical criticism as a means of examining how Blacks are depicted in the lyrics of popular songs, particularly hip-hop music. This study provides a rhetorical analysis of 40 popular songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Charts from 1999 to 2006. The songs were selected from the Billboard charts, which were accessible to me as a paid subscriber of Napster. The rhetorical analysis of these songs will be bolstered through the use of Black feminist/critical theories. This study will extend previous research regarding the rhetoric of song. It also will identify some of the shared themes in music produced by Blacks, particularly the genre commonly referred to as hip-hop music. This analysis builds upon the idea that the majority of hip-hop music produced and performed by Black recording artists reinforces racial stereotypes, and thus, hegemony. The study supports the concept of which bell hooks (1981) frequently refers to as white supremacist capitalist patriarchy and what Hill-Collins (2000) refers to as the hegemonic domain. The analysis also provides a framework for analyzing the themes of popular songs across genres. The genres ultimately are viewed through the gaze of race and gender because Black male recording artists perform the majority of hip-hop songs.

  • Quotes on Driver's Education
    QUOTES ON DRIVER’S EDUCATION ! ! I WENT TO A PARTY !I went to a party, Mom. And remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom, !so I had a Sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would, That I didn’t drink and drive, !Though some friends said I should. I made a healthy choice, And your advice to me was right As the party finally ended, !And the kids drove out of sight. I got into my car, Sure to get home in one piece, I never knew what was coming, !Mom something I expected least. Now I’m lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, ‘The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,’ !Mom, His voice seems far away. My own blood’s all around me, !As I try hard not to cry. I can hear the paramedic say, ‘This girl is going to die.’ I’m sure the guy had no idea, While he was flying high, Because he chose to drink and drive, !Now I would have to die. ! - !1 - So why do people do it, Mom, Knowing that it ruins lives? And now the pain is cutting me, !Like a hundred stabbing knives. Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom, Tell Daddy to be brave, And when I go to heaven, !Put ‘Daddy’s Girl’ on my grave. Someone should have taught him, That it’s wrong to drink and drive Maybe if his parents had, !I’d still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom, I’m getting really scared.
