Revelation 21:1-4

New International Version (NIV)

A New Heaven and a New Earth

21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”^[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. ² I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ⁴ ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’^[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

 

 

 

This is my scripture that I will attribute to my new year.  Humanity's inhumanity to humans is growing greater and greater everyday.

Thank You Lord

Thank You God Almighty for letting me know what I am mad about. I want to be clear that I just discovered, through seriously deep and spiritual self exploration, the reason why I think I am mad at you. Why I am distant. I think when I went to Hawaii I  expected a different outcome and when it didn't happen, I changed.
I am looking to spend the next 15 or so years of my life preparing for my retirement.
I plan to teach overseas for the department of defense dependent schools next year.
I can't stay with CPS and will not, under these conditions.
I thank God that I am qualified and able, health wise and other, to have a choice to make. I know what my problem is and was.

Santa or Satan

Its really so clever, just switch one letter and you can divert the attention from the greatest Christian Holiday. One act that can not be disputed. Mary gave birth to a baby boy. So Satan moves the 'n' to the middle, now its Santa and its one of the most beloved children figures around. It really doesn't make it past childhood because as adults we are able to discern the truth. Deception is an act of the devil. How he has tricked us with this santa stuff.

 The Devil comes to KILL, STEAL, and TO DESTROY. He is for real and he managed to fool us into believing in santa as something good for children. It only makes them want stuff. So we divert the attention from stuff to how we treat people. God will not allow good to go unnoticed. If you speak in his name, work in his name, then he will bless you. Thank You Lord for blessing me. I love the Lord.

We Can Not Baby Our Students

Frazier is also a very filthy school. I don't think the administration really understands the problem. These schools are run by the students now. Central Office has to begin to assess each and evry school to find out which ones they are still in control of and which ones the students are in control of. This is serious and the more the problem is ignored, the more the students will act out. Love them but DISCIPLINE them. Who is in charge, really?

Glory BeTo God

Lord I pray that people who can make a difference for the schools will.

The students are seeing power in revolt.

The parents are silent and uninvolved.

The schools and the transportation is filthy and sick. The germs and disease in these
low poverty schools that I have been to just recently are disgusting. Pritzker, OK; Herbert, Filthy, The city needs to hire the out of work O'Hare workers to clean thehey need a dentist to come to the school. Their personal hygine is horrible.  classrooms, window to window, corner to corner. The surfaces of the desks need to be cleaned. It will be on the news. All of the children have runny noses, coughing, sneezes, everything is wrong with their healt. T schools over the holidays. If law suits haven't come up, they will. The CTA was filthy when I too it for the Millenium Parade. The city transportation is filthy. Paris and London have a clean transportation system, cleaned each and every night. When do you clean this city? The schools are filthy, the transportation systems are filthy, the streets are filthy? What must be done Lord.? Can I have my King for Christmas?

It ain't over until God says it's Over

All of God's people experience great spiritual privilege. We are granted new mercies each and every day.

All of God's people experience great spiritual failures. We hope and pray but sometimes, things do not go our way. We experience great disappointments.

But, through it all, we are reminded that it ain't over until God says it's over. Be humble. Be mindful of others.

Hope

Believe

Pray

It's Christmastime. God grants our wishes.

1 Corinthians 10:1-13

New International Version (NIV)

Warnings From Israel’s History

10 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. ² They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. ³ They all ate the same spiritual food ⁴ and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. ⁵ Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

⁶ Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. ⁷ Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”^{[a] 8} We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. ⁹ We should not test Christ,^[b] as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. ¹⁰ And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.
¹¹ These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. ¹² So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! ¹³ No temptation^[c] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted^[d] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,^[e] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

 

Glory to God

Thank you Lord for your blessings. I am blessed and highly favored. I am a child of God and the Lord love me. Each and every day God will give me some attention, even when I may seem distracted. God is happy to see me and not interested in what is going on elsewhere. Our relationship is so important that the Lord makes a big deal out of making me feel comfortable and loved. When I am in the Lord's presence, the Lord's attention is on me. WE hold conversations that just the two of us know. My love is forever. The Lord says He will never leave me, nor forsake me. I am blessed. I love the Lord. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone.
