Guardian Angel

"Windless Summer" is a novel published by Heather Sharfeddin. Sharfeddin was my Fiction Writing I professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. After I got over being frustrated with her pushing me to do my best, I became interested in her writing. I finally got around to reading a novel of hers. I must say that this novel really tugged on my emotions. I wanted to feel empathetic for Tom through the whole book because of the tragedy he has experienced, but as the novel went on I realized his tragedy is his own fault. As far as his girlfriend, or ex girlfriend, Lauren, I really wanted to just grab her by the hair and tell her to get out. She caused so many unnecessary problems for the entire town. I think what really made me emotional was the life that Charlene had lived. She is made the book, in my opinion. I never quite understood why Professor Sharfeddin red penned all of my stories, until now. Her attention to detail and her descriptions are phenomenal. I felt...

"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15: 57 VICTORY IN JESUS! Don't ever forget that. You become victorious through Christ. Winning isn't everything. In this passage, Paul was telling the church how to be victorious. Don't just believe, serve. You experience victory through Christ. It began when we gave our hearts. Having a relationship with Christ makes you victorious. We have a tendency to do what we are told not to do. For example, Adam and Eve. Satan thought he was victorious. Jesus was victorious. Don't be angry, frustrated, aggravated, and don't lose hope. He will always be there for you. You will receive victory in Jesus when you cross over. The victory in Jesus lasts forever. Satan will lose. Don't feel defeated - you are a child of God and because of that you have victory in Jesus. The only way you can win is with a personal relationship with Jesus.

"Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said: 'Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And as if this were not enough in your sight, O God, you have spoken about the future of the house of your servant. You have looked on me as though I were the most exalted of men, O Lord God." 1 Chronicles 17: 16-17 Don't fall into the ways of the world. God wasn't calling David to build the temple, He was calling Soloman. Amazing Grace is not earned, it is unmerited. God is in control. God is amazing. Humble yourself and believe that God is in control. You have not done anything too bad or too wrong to experience Amazing Grace. It is given to us. At what point do we realize that our existence is because of Amazing Grace? God will always do what is right. We have the opportunity to experience Grace. God's Grace is with the children. There is nothing Satan can do. They experience Jesus Christ for themselves. Share in t...

"'Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.'" Matthew 7:1-5 We have to focus on not being hypocrites. It was different back then for them to judge. We don't need to judge others. Be kind. Know your God, brothers, and sisters. Jesus didn't go and say things, He went and lived things. The whole "Andy Griffith Show" is biblical and moral. In this particular episode that corresponds with the scripture, the choir was singing. Barney was wonderful in his mind. He wanted to ...

Decisions are a major pain. Turkey or ham? Mayonnaise or mustard? Shower or bath? Sometimes it doesn't matter which one you choose. Other times, you could choose the wrong choice and your life will be turned upside down. You can burn bridges. You can build new ones. The bad thing is that you never know what will happen until you jump into it. I guess that's the beauty of life. The unknown. The suspense. The calm before the storm. As I'm sitting here writing this, I have a decision to make. But all I can focus on is the nice breeze under the awning. The birds chirping. The calm moat that surrounds the building. The quiet and peaceful environment. The water ripples ever so gently as the wind blows. My cup of coffee adds the finishing touches into the ever so calming lunch break. Because for this hour, I have forgotten all of the worries I had. The burdens I carried. The stress that embalmed me. And and now I realize that my decision has been made for me. It's not about wh...
