God is Good!
I wanted to share this. I have bible verses on desk that help strengthen me throughout the day, well, I got a message from a co-worker that sits at my desk on 3rd shift that he has been inspired with these that he is going to give God another chance. I know the way that sounds, but that was the words. The one verse that stuck out is John 10:10 which most of you know, "The thief's purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My God purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." You never know what God will use to get to a person's heart. This is awesome this is day 2 for great morning surprises that will make my day go great.
Blogging a thing of the past.
I have noticed lately that most bloggers aren't blogging anymore, myself included. I have no found Facebook and love it. Just wondering is blogging a thing of the past. You tell me.

Parting of the Red Sea
Ok this is a little lengthy, but I love history I thought this was very interesting. Someone at work sent this to me.
Subject: The Red Sea
PARTING OF THE RED SEA :
Chariot Wheels found at the bottom of the Red Sea
You will be surprised to see proof of Pharaoh's chariot and bones of horses and men found in the Red Sea . Evidence of the crossing of the Red Sea , Pharaoh's drowned army.
Confirmation of the actual Exodus route has come from divers finding coral-encrusted bones and chariot remains in the Gulf of Aqaba . ONE of the most dramatic records of Divine intervention in history is the account of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt .
The subsequent drowning of the entire Egyptian army in the Red Sea was not an insignificant event, and confirmation of this event is compelling evidence that the Biblical narrative is truly authentic. Over the years, many divers have searched the Gulf of Suez in vain for artifacts to verify the Biblical account. But carefully following the Biblical and historical records of the Exodus brings you to Nuweiba, a large beach in the Gulf of Aqaba , as Ron Wyatt discovered in 1978.
Repeated dives in depths ranging from 60 to 200 feet deep (18m to 60m), over a stretch of almost 2.5 km, has shown that the chariot parts are scattered across the sea bed. Artifacts found include wheels, chariot bodies, as well as human and horse bones. Divers have located on the Saudi coastline opposite Nuweiba as well.
Since 1987, Ron Wyatt found three four-spoke gilded chariot wheels. Coral does not grow on gold hence the shape has remained very distinct, although the wood inside the gold veneer has disintegrated making them too fragile to move.
The hope for future expeditions is to explore the deeper waters with remote cameras or mini-subs. Mute witness to the miracle of the crossing of the Red Sea by the Hebrews 3,500 years ago. Found with a metal detector, Coral-encrusted chariot wheel, filmed off the Saudi coastline,
matches chariot wheels found in Tutankhamen's tomb.
Mineralized bone, one of many found at the crossing site (above center). This one tested by the Department of Osteology at Stockholm University , was found to be a human femur, from the right leg of a 165-170cm tall man. It is essentially 'fossilized, ' i.e., replaced by minerals and coral, hence cannot be dated by radiocarbon methods, although this specimen was obviously from antiquity.. Chariot wheel and axle covered with coral and up-ended. Exodus 14:25 'And took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily...'
Solomon's memorial pillars.
When Ron Wyatt first visited Nuweiba in 1978, he found a Phoenician style column lying in the water. Unfortunately the inscriptions had been eroded away, hence the column's importance was not understood until 1984 when a second granite column was found on the Saudi coastline opposite -- identical to the first except on this one the inscription was still intact!
In Phoenician letters (Archaic Hebrew), it contained the words: Mizraim (Egypt); Solomon; Edom ; death; Pharaoh; Moses; and Yahweh, indicating that King Solomon had set up these columns as a memorial to the miracle of the crossing of the sea. Saudi Arabia does not admit tourists, and perhaps fearing unauthorized visitors, the Saudi Authorities have since removed this column, and replaced it with a flag marker where it once stood.
How deep is the water?
The Gulf of Aqaba is very deep, in places over a mile (1,600m) deep. Even with the sea dried up, walking across would be difficult due to the steep grade down the sides. But, there is one spot where if the water were removed it would be an easy descent for people and animals. This is the line between Nuweiba and the opposite shore in Saudi Arabia .
Depth-sounding expeditions have revealed a smooth, gentle slope descending from Nuweiba out into the Gulf. This shows up almost like a pathway on depth-recording equipment, confirming it's Biblical description, '...a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters.' (Isaiah 43:16)
The Bible writers frequently refer to the miracle of the Red Sea crossing, for it was an event which finds no equal in history. The Hebrew prophets describe the sea at the crossing site as '...the waters of the great deep...the depths of the sea...' (Isaiah 51:10)
Knowing the exact spot to which the Bible writers were referring, what is the depth there? The distance between Nuweiba and where artifacts have been found on Saudi coast is about 18km (11 miles).
Along this line, the deepest point is about 800m (2,600 feet). No wonder that inspired writers of the Bible described it as the mighty waters. And no wonder that not a single Egyptian survived when the water collapsed in upon them. (Above NUWEIBA BEACH- the spot where the crossing began)
God's Word once again confirmed!

OK I finally got signed up on facebook. I'm not sure about it yet. But it seemed fun and am excited about it. Seems to be a bunch of just random stuff. I like that. So everyone have a great day, and see most of you at church tonight.

Catch of the Day!
We had our 1st annual fishing tournament Saturday, put on by our great men's ministry. It was a day of food, fun, fishing, and not in that order. It was great fellowship for everyone. We all had a blast. Thanks to Jack and Randy for finding this place, it was amazing.
But the catch of the day was not a fish but as you see in the picture, Nathan Upton killed this water moccasin on the spill way with a rock. There were two but he could only get to this one. I took this for his mother so she could see what great hunter he was. Who needs gun, shovel, hoe, when you have a big rock!

2 of my favorite fella's
Just wanted to share a photo of Eli and my great-newphew Aiden. This was taken last night on the trampoline. Aiden sure does love his cousin Eli. We say Eli's name and Aiden perks up and starts looking for him. Aiden is also in the Fort Smith Area Baby Pageant. He is so far by the points first place in his division. (10-12 mths old).

Baby explosion
OK, I just wanted to comment on several women in our church who are expecting. Its amazing and awesome. God is giving these parents a very special gift and I know they ALL will be great parents, some already are and the others this will be their first. Babies are so great, they can make a person feel so good, by just holding their tiny bodies against yours knowing that some day this child is going to be an adult and what will they be. Knowing some of these parents these children will be the next generation of God Warriors. Congrats to all the parents expecting. We may have to expand our nursery! :)

Healing
I am so tired of doctors and having to tell them every appointment the same thing that has been wrong from day one. I always tell them that they can say what they want but I know who my True Physician is. Jesus Christ. Of course I do get the rolling eyes and occassional "if that seems to help good" I can't believe that some doctors, but there are some that do believe, wouldn't want their pateint whole healed and healthy, but I guess they would be without a job if everyone believed that. Sorry for ranting so, its just I have to go get my shot today for the devil's arthritis and I am not happy, but I know and am still believing in MY HEALING. It is MINE and I AM TAKING IT. I love stepping on the devil's so called joy of hurting people. It's great. Have a great everyone.

Tough Love
Hey hope everyone had a great weekend. Just wanted to touch on something I took Eli to the Castle in Muskogee yesterday and we had a blast. The Castle is a renissance fair. Well, I had Eli arrested. It was so fun, they come and get them and they literally get everyone's attention around and read off these "charges" and haul them to jail. They asked me what lesson I wanted him to learn and told them that Mom is #1 and always will be. To get out of jail he had to sing "I'm a Little Tea Pot" in front of a crowd. Tough love is well, funny.
