One Minute Each Night

Sandra Crosnoe - Finding Gems & Sharing Them

ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped.

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America.

If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the up-coming election, and for the revival of Christianity in this great country.

If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along.

Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

Thank You.

It doesn’t matter if there wasn’t a group in England; it doesn’t matter whose idea it was.  It matters what we do now.  It matters that we look to God rather than man for our sustenance.  It matters that we agree and act appropriately in difficult times.


Special thanks to my dear friend Rhonda for this email idea!

Divide and Conquer Obama Style – “Catholic Plan”

Sandra Crosnoe - Finding Gems & Sharing Them

I am not a Catholic, but I have some friends who are.  I especially appreciate the strong principled pro-life stance of the Catholic church through the years.  We can certainly agree that man is not God and neither is the state!

I think you will find this video to be of interest and suggest you particularly ponder the Divide and Conquer tactic in play.  Muse about where all you see that tactic in play to attempt to keep principled people out of leadership positions . . .

Glory Come Down at Christ for the Nations

Sandra Crosnoe - Finding Gems & Sharing Them

If you have never worshiped the Lord in the Spirit by yourself you are missing a great blessing; if you have never been amidst many worshiping together in the Spirit you have missed a taste of heaven on earth indeed.  May you delight in Him and worship Him in Spirit and Truth.  I didn’t want this video to stop  . . .

My dog teaches me about politics

Sandra Crosnoe - Finding Gems & Sharing Them

I got this from a friend of a friend with no real attribution (via email).   I didn’t write it and merely share it here as tremendously insightful. You know what they say about cats having staff and dogs having masters; well this explains one step further about dogs and their politics.  Enjoy!/sc

My DOG!

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
He has his food prepared for him.
He can eat whenever he wants, 24/7/365.
His meals are provided at no cost to him.
He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any
medical needs arise.

For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.

He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs,
but he is not required to do any upkeep.
If He makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
He is living like a king, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
All of his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day.
I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head,

oh my gosh,

my dog is a democrat!

Stay tuned for the cat comeback . . .

and a few recommendations for those paying the dog’s way!

Still with me? And now what he said only with a bit of humor, a very little bit~

How do the Obama deficits compare with past presidents? And how did the national debt get so big anyway. This video tries to answer those questions by looking at the debt as a road trip and seeing how fast different administrations have been traveling.

How to Live in 2010? Do Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly

Sandra Crosnoe - Finding Gems & Sharing Them

My exhortation for how to live in 2010 comes from Micah 6

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?                Micah 6:8 (King James Version)

Sometimes we think that things are overwhelming and life is too complex and the problems are too big.  I learned this verse growing up as a song.  Don’t you love the way scripture set to music embeds in our memory and pops up exactly when we need it!  God has much to say to us in scripture about just weights and measures and how to treat our fellow man and it boils down to rather simply this:

DO JUSTLY

LOVE MERCY

WALK HUMBLY

Think about the order of the items with the action item on top.  Do justly or as we would say today ‘act justly’.  But in doing justice, have a heart for mercy.  While demanding justice, be ready to extend mercy appropriately or with sacrificial love and hope!  In the midst of acting justly and extending mercy, above all walk humbly.

Our great example in all of this is Our Father in heaven.  If He could risk it all for us by sending His own Son to die in our place do we really have any excuse for not doing the same.  What if by modeling justice and mercy and humility to others, I could effect positive change in my family, my church, my community, my city, my nation, and my world?

Worth a try don’t you think!  Did I forget to mention that we are going to need His help to do so?  Tis true and He is able to help us if we will but look to Him in all matters.  He wouldn’t have told us to do it and sent us a Savior if it wasn’t what He wanted us to know and do now would He!

May you walk humbly, love mercy and do justice as you model His great example before others.  I think you will see Him smile and feel His presence as you do so!

Blessings,

Sandie
