Grace

Grace:  a pleasing or attractive Endowment. Favor or Goodwill.

Acts 20:24New International Version (NIV)

Resurrected  Jesus

²⁴ However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

God's Grace is the essential message Jesus was to deliver before his death.
Grace gives us all the ability for a second chance to do the right thing.

Grace allows the terrorist in Kenya that killed 124 students in Kenya
to stop and turn their lives around.



Today as a random act of kindness share the Grace of God.  Be a Blessing and give a Blessing of Forgiveness .  That is what God will do.

Holy Spirit

After God sent his only son Jesus Christ to teach us the fundamentals of life. Then death removed Jesus from our presence. Some wondered who will lead us next?

Holy Spirit

John 14:26 [Full Chapter]

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

 

Holy Spirit:
In the belief of many Christians, one of the three persons in the one God, along with the Father and the Son ( Jesus is the Son); the Holy Spirit is also called the Holy Ghost. Jesus promised the Apostles that he would send the Holy Spirit after his Crucifixion and Resurrection. The Spirit came to the disciples of Jesus on Pentecost.
When in doubt about making Christ like decisions. Stop look and listen.  Yes that is the Holy Spirit taking charge and navigating our path.


Pope Francis

As a random act of kindness let someone know the Holy Spirit is large and in charge.  Be a Blessing give a Blessing of Wisdom.

 

Ressurection

Matthew 28:6-9New International Version (NIV)

The Resurrection of Jesus

⁶ He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. ⁷ Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
⁸ So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. ⁹ Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.
He's back!!!  Yesterday, today and forever is what God intended.  To get our attention. God sent his only son Jesus Christ to deliver some powerful information to enhance our life.

Leadership

Walk with Me

Numbers 33:1New International Version (NIV)

Stages in Israel’s Journey

33 Here are the stages in the journey of the Israelites when they came out of Egypt by divisions under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.

 

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
When a bitter civil war tore Liberia apart over a decade ago, Sirleaf helped mend the country, a remarkable feat of leadership that earned her the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. Last summer, when another menace, the Ebola virus, wreaked havoc, Sirleaf was slower to act—a mistake she candidly acknowledged. But after that tepid initial response, she brought the full weight of her government to bear and helped bring the crisis to an end. To be sure, Liberia’s president, the first female head of state in Africa, has not done enough to tackle the country’s endemic corruption, but few think anyone but Sirleaf could have helped rescue the country the way she did—twice

 Amazing job for the President of Liberia.  We are predestine by God for leadership. President Sirleaf at the age of 76 represents outstanding greatness as we wind down March women of Greatness.
As a random act of kindness let any woman know she is a winner.  Be a Blessing and display an act of leadership. You are a Winner!

Critical Thinking

Spirit of Savior

Philippians 4:8New International Version (NIV)

⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Critical Thinking:

1) critical thinking is not just thinking, but thinking which entails self-improvement

2) this improvement comes from skill in using standards by which one appropriately assesses thinking. To put it briefly, it is self-improvement (in thinking) through standards (that assess thinking).

Before the term Critical Thinking was develop we use the words common sense.  This term was used when we needed direction, judgment and sound decision making. I notice many Colleges and Universities offer the course Critical Thinking.  News flash ! This subject should begin at home.



20yr old Jeffrey Williams

Mugshot of Jeffrey Williams, 20, charged with shooting two cops in Ferguson, MO, per St Louis County police

 

Like Forrest Gump would say "Stupid is as Stupid does"  I'm not sure if Williams thought he was auditioning for a new TV series pilot or gathering brownie points within the neighborhood.  For whatever reason it was a non thought out senseless act that harm two other individuals. Less not forget the lost of his freedom for a long time.

For all when in doubt between right and wrong do it the old fashion way. Ask God. He has provide us with oldest book base on Critical Thinking the Bible.   God also provided us with the greatest facilitator ever Jesus Christ. Today we can seek guidance and Wisdom with the Holy Spirit.
 

Today as a random act of kindness share some Critical thoughts with someone that needs a nudge in the right direction.  Be a Blessing and share

a piece of Critical Knowledge.  It's time for piece.

Job well done

Jesus

Psalm 55:12-13New International Version (NIV)



¹² If an enemy were insulting me,
    I could endure it;
if a foe were rising against me, 
    I could hide.
¹³ But it is you, a man like myself,
    my companion, my close friend,

 

By now you can tell Psalm 55:12-13 is one of my all time favorite verses. It fitting for all of the social issues we are experiencing today.

 

 

The president of the University of Oklahoma announced he's severing ties with the local chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon after several members of the fraternity were caught on camera singing a racist song. 

    First we must commend the students at the University of Oklahoma for getting the job done in a Peaceful way.  Everyone on that bus that chanted those racial slurs should realize we are not having it.  God's not having it. Nobody's greater! Outside of that fraternity house they were attacking all students Black and White along with the revenue from sports sponsors that  support The University of Oklahoma. What made those college students join a Fraternity that support racism?  Let's take it home. Their parents might not have told them to join but no one said that sort of behavior is was not right.
