Thanks to Mike McGinn, we are getting out to a game today.

Look out Baltimore,
Angels Rule!!!

I am so excited!!! I got a new orchid. The one that I got is the Phal. Brother Pico Bahama. The picture here is a Phal. Brother Lawrence 'Montclair' which is very similar in look. It is soooooooo cool!!!

He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice.
Deuteronomy 32:4

Do all things for the glory of God.

I am absolutely bonkers about orchids. Check out the web site on the left (Orchids.com), and check out this picture.
WOW!!! God's creations are beautiful!!!

A friend of mine said she is learning that God has a plan for each of us and to rejoice in trials, for that which does not kill us can only make us stronger.
Amen Corinne!!!

There a couple of people giving us a hard time because we choose not to watch movies with sexual content or nudity. Please Stop!!! Clearly we all have different beliefs, and this is ours.
If you are truly interested, and not just harassing for the sake of harassing, you should check out the following web site RBC Ministries which answers the following question:
Why are Christians generally opposed to public nudity, whether in magazines, in movies, or on the beach?

Romans 10:9

That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Jesus: Unique in all the world

A new Christian sent an e-mail to a Web site that answers questions about faith. She said, "I struggle with the claim of other Christians that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven and to God. What will happen to those who believe otherwise?" This kind of question challenges us to examine our views of Jesus. A scriptural review of Jesus and His uniqueness can help us stand strong in our belief that He is the only way. Jesus is unmatched in history - His very being cries out for us to entrust our lives to Him. Jesus Christ is: Unique in substance: He alone is both God and man (John 10:30). Unique in prophecy: No other leader's life was foretold so clearly and accurately (Micah 5:2). Unique in mission: Jesus alone came to save us from our sins (Matthew 1:21). Unique in birth: Only Jesus was born of a virgin (Matthew 1:23). Unique in ability: No one but Jesus has the power to forgive sins (Mark 2:10). Unique in existence: Jesus alone existed before the beginning of time (John 1:1-2). Unique in position: No one else is equal with God (Philippians 2:5-6). Unique in reign: Only Jesus reigns forever (Hebrews 1:8). No one in history is like Jesus. He alone deserves our trust, and He alone is the path to God. - Dave Branon

This really touched my heart, so I decided to share it. It comes from the June-August 2006 "Our Daily Bread" (learn more about this booklet at the RBC Web site: www.rbc.net ).

John 14:6

Our LORD and GOD has put it on my heart to reach out to anyone that will listen/read. I pray these words of praise and encouragement will touch your heart.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
