Not needed: a telescope, a microscope, or a horoscope!


Spiritually hungry? 

                                Looking for reality? 

                                                                  Seeking for God? 


Here is what you DON'T need:

a telescope, 



a microscope,
 

                 
                                                                          or a horoscope!









Here is some good advice:

"Watch out for people who try to dazzle you with big words and intellectual double-talk. They want to drag you off into endless arguments that never amount to anything. They spread their ideas through the empty traditions of human beings and the empty superstitions of spirit beings.

But that's not the way of Christ.

Everything of God gets expressed in him, so you can see and hear him clearly.

You don't need a telescope, a microscope, or a horoscope to realize the fullness of Christ, and the emptiness of the universe without him.

When you come to him, that fullness comes together for you, too. His power extends over everything." (Colossians 2:8-10 The Message)

Peace! Find it from something other than Sleeping Pills


Need some peace? 




 Take a few verses of God's Word tonight instead of those sleeping pills! For example, Psalm 46:

1 "God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.




10 'Cease striving (or "Let go, relax") and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold."

After you have read these verses, go back and change all of the pronouns to "my" or "I." Make it personal.

Then, you can do as the Psalmist says in Psalm 127:2:  The Lord "....grants sleep to those he loves."


  God loves YOU! So, have a good sleep! Good night!

"Songs For Unusual Creatures"

My friend, Paul Neeley, is always coming up with the most interesting stories and links!  Here is one he just shared about Songs For Unusual Creatures.

Paul writes:  "Songs For Unusual Creatures.is a family-friendly album of instrumental
songs inspired by some of the Earth's strangest animals, such as the aye-aye, the blue-footed booby, the magnapinna squid, the blobfish, the elephant shrew, the anglerfish, the solenodon, and the tardigrade.

Songs For Unusual Creatures features many amazing guest musicians, including the Kronos Quartet, The Microscopic Septet, Margaret Leng Tan, Wade Schuman (of Hazmat Modine) and Cecilia Brauer.

Songs For Unusual Creaturesincorporates some of the most unusual instruments on the planet (to compliment the unusual animals) such as a daxophone, the glass armonica, the theremin, the stylophone, the claviola, and the League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots.

Chronicle Books will be releasing a companion book in October.

To hear samples, go to the Amazon webpage above.
