 Take UP Your Cross Blog Prompt: Reflect on the role of prayer in your spiritual growth. How has it changed over time? I think prayer goes hand in hand with my Spiritual growth.

Dear God, Be with your people who are being persecuted. Give them peace, courage and comfort. Let them feel your presence and know they aren't alone.

I've always heard it in reference to sports though.  |

Take UP Your Cross Blog Prompt: Write about how you incorporate scripture into your daily routine. What benefits have you noticed from this practice? I probably need to incorporate it more.

Prayer prompt: Pray for effective, compassionate ways to fight infectious disease outbreaks worldwide. Dear God, Place your hand on the medical community as they deal with the outbreak of new illnesses. Help them to develop effective and compassionate ways to fight infectious disease outbreaks worldwide. In Jesus' name, Amen I followed R2 D2 a little way around the WDC galaxy. He took me to a small planet on the edge of the universe,W.D.Wilcox, and showed me this Item and asked me for my thoughts about it.
Read, review, and write about it in your blog today. This is a very short and sad story. However, it is very well written. Prompt: "If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” Vincent Willem Van Gogh What is Van Gogh trying to tell us and what do you think of his paintings? Maybe he struggled with self-esteem and decided to paint anyway. I don't really know. That's just a guess. He is not my favorite artist. His paintings are okay. Some can do better. Some could not. In other words, they could be better or worse. |

Take UP Your Cross Blog Prompt: Reflect on a time when you felt spiritually dry. What steps did you take to reconnect with God? I have found that spending time daily in God's presence and his word makes a huge difference. Keeping a journal also helps. If I start feeling bored with what I am doing, I will look for ways to do it differently to change it up a bit. Prayer prompt: Ask God to raise up leaders in government, education, the church, and other spheres worldwide. Dear God, Raise up Christian and wise leaders in government, education, the church, and other spheres worldwide. We need them. Please, bring down the evil and foolish people that should not be in leadership positions in these places. In Christ's name, Amen I must have fallen asleep because I crash landed on top of this item on the star, Patron Of Lost Clauses. Thankfully, the ship did not obtain any serious damage.

What is your favorite thing about March? I love the warmer weather and the season of Spring that it brings. Prompt: "If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music." Gustav Mahler What is Mahler trying to say, in your opinion? And is music more expressive than words? What do you think? I think some people find it easier to express themselves creatively as opposed to directly. Poetry and music are safe places to express ourselves indirectly under the diguise of art. |
Wow! I was really exhausted yesterday. I couldn't even finish writing in my blog. It's been a busy week. Can life slow down for a little while just long enough for me to catch my breath?

Take UP Your Cross Blog Prompt: Consider a time when you struggled to understand a Bible passage. How did you seek clarity, and what did you learn? Being a preacher's kid, I was always taught that you go to a pastor or another spiritual leader in the church if you want someone else's opinion. You can cross reference it with other verses in the Bible and you can use a concordance and dictionary for more clarity and to do a comparative word study. Of course, now days, you can just do an internet search and get all sorts of information on just about any verse or topic. Prayer prompt: Pray for long term solutions to environmental problems and pollution globally. God, I do hope that we will have good long-term solutions to environmental problems and for pollution around the world. Let your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Forgive us for the sins that we havecommitted against you and the earth. In Jesus' name, Amen
While busying myself to get the mountain of reports checked out for the captain, I visited the star Detective and found this item that I could definitely relate to.
Read, review, and write about completing errands today. We all have errands to do. It is easy to relate to this poem. Sometimes, I wish I had more energy to complete errands with.
Begin your entry with this quote: “It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” ― Charles Dickens. And then write a story tying the temperature differences. “It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” ― Charles Dickens. This quote came to my mind as I stood in my front yard today. I was watching the birds fly high up in the sky and the squirrels scampering, chasing each other through the grass from tree to tree. I watched the leaves as they rustled in the wind and felt the light breeze brush across my face. The warmth of the sun sent its energy down my arms. I heard the cars on the highway nearby, the birds chirping, the leaves making their familiar sound in the wind, and the sound of children playing at a distance. Then the moment I stepped into the shade, an unexpected chill went through my body as I felt the cool wind pass by me. Where was the warmth from the sun I had felt only seconds ago? Let this thought inspire your entry today, "March may start off slow, but once it gets going every flower will bloom and every bird will sing" . Do you feel renewed energy in March like the plants and the birds? I wish I felt the energy, but right now I feel completely drained. My energy done marched away from me. |

Take UP Your Cross Blog Prompt: Do you believe Christ will come for his second time before, after, or in the middle of the tribulation? Why? I have heard arguments for all three. For a while, I leaned toward the middle belief. My parents believed the rapture would happen before the tribulation. Now days, I am leaning more towards it happening after the tribulation. The Bible verses can be kind of confusing regarding this. Rapture is not a term from the Bible either. I don't think the Bible tells us about these things for us to be afraid even though the tribulation will be a very scary time to live. I think it tells us so that we will be aware of it and prepare spiritually for it and so it won't take us off guard. Prayer prompt: Ask God to call thousands into full time ministry from every tongue, tribe, and nation. Dear God, You said in your word to pray for laborers. I pray now that you will raise many up in your name and call thousands into full time ministry from every tribe, tongue, and nation. I pray that your gospel will reach the rest of the world. I pray that these people will head your calling and that the people you send them to will receive the gospel fully and readily. In Christ's name, Amen I got a message about a false news report on planet, Soldier_Mike, and got Chewbacca to go with me to check it out. We need another opinion. Let us know if you think this report is true.

Use these words in your entry today: shamrocks, clovers, leprechauns, fairies, legends, myths, blarney and Writing. com. Have fun, maybe there will be a place you can enter you story with a bit of Irish magic. Those words pack a lot of meaning. I honestly love to write poetry. Although, I enjoy stories. Poetry just comes so naturally to me. Then again, it kind of depends what mood I'm in too that determines what I will write and if it comes easily to me or not. Did you know shamrocks or 3-leaf clovers have a Christian meaning? https://www.courageouschristianfather.com/the-meaning-behind-the-shamrock/ Leprechauns are single fairies that came from the myths of Irish folklore. Maybe, when the writing mood isn't there, I need to go kiss the Blarney Stone which is said to give the gift of gab.  What are your feelings on daylight savings? Do you think it still has a purpose or is it time to end it? I honestly don't think it really matters one way or another. It was originally made to help farmers as I understand it. I don't really know if modern farmers still need it or not. |

Take UP Your Cross Blog Prompt: Write about a time you felt overwhelmed by God's love. How did this impact your relationship with Him? One day, I was just worshiping, praising God and singing some hymns. I experienced the glory and presence of God. Sometimes, the spirit really does sound like a wind. I heard it. A white cloud came in from the ceiling and filled the room. I felt like God had wrapped me up like a blanket and gave me a big old bear hug. It was an overwhelming feeling of love and peace. This experience made me feel closer to him and made me know he truly loved me. Prayer prompt: Pray for unity and peace within the worldwide Christian church. Dear God, I ask for there to be unity within your entire church body. I ask that we all come together in your love and share that same love with the people in the world around us.

Take UP Your Cross Blog Prompt: Reflect on a Bible story that reminds you of a personal experience. How does this connection strengthen your faith? If I try hard enough, I can relate to many Bible stories and characters. I think the one I can relate to most though is where David and Jonothan loved each other as their own soul. I think that is how me and my best friend are. It is nice to have a close relationship with someone like this. Prayer prompt: Ask God to send Christ-entered friends into your life who will encourage you and keep you accountable. Dear Heavenly Father, Send good, Christ-centered friends into my life who will encourage me in your ways and keep me accountable. I could use some more close Godly friends. In Christ's name, Amen I met up with Twiggy, who I hadn't seen in years, to go in search of our next item to review. We stopped on planet Mary Ann MCPhedran and spotted this.
Read, review, and write about this item. What does it mean to chase rainbows in your humble opinion? I think this is a cute little poem. It was fun to read. I've always heard the phrase used to describes chasing seemingly unachievable dreams.
Write about an adult coloring book. Sometimes, it just depends on my mood if I want to color in a children's or an adult's coloring book. The adult pictures can be more complicated than I want to deal with at the moment. However, I tend to prefer inspirational coloring books or animal pictures. Cartoon characters can be fun to color too. I color to relax with my best friend sometimes. |

Take UP Your Cross Blog Prompt: Describe a moment when you experienced God's grace. How did it change your perspective on forgiveness and mercy? Every time I experience and realize the gravity of my sin, I experience God's grace. It is easier to forgive others when I realize how much I, myself, have been forgiven of. When I realize how my sin affects other people, it is easier to give others mercy. Prayer prompt: Pray for God's people and for Israel. Dear God, Be with your people. Be with Israel during this turbulent time. Protect them. Bring them your peace. Help them to put their faith in you and seek repentance so that you will heal their land. In Jesus' name, Amen I was working on a special project on planet (huser:beulin}, when I ran into this item.

Prompt: Truth and Lies "Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies." Ralph Waldo Emerson Did you ever believe in a lie? Then, aren't some lies so good that we end up believing them? We all believe a lie every now and then rather intentionally or not. That's why we have to be careful to not be deceived. It's too easy to be deceived. A lie is meant to appear better than the truth or at least as good so it can be believable. |
What day is this again? Oh yeah! It's Monday. I feel kind of like I missed a day somewhere. I'm still kind of brain foggy. I honestly think it's because the weather keeps drastically changing so quickly. We had below 0 wind chill last week and low 80"s today. It plays havoc on the autoimmune disease. I am feeling drained today too.

Take UP Your Cross Blog Prompt: Think about a difficult decision you had to make. How did your faith influence your choice and the path you took? I have faced many difficult decisions in my life. My faith always seems to play a big role too. I've written about my most recent one not very long ago. I have many more to choose from though. It's hard to choose one in particular. One decision I had to make was if I should continue to work a part time job through the pandemic because I was a care giver to others. It was more than just about me. I have my own health issues but the people I was caring for was also high risk. I chose to not work. I haven't worked much since at a regular place of employment. This is partly how I got into network marketing. I don't want to try to follow through on a big decision without God being a part of it. I desire to live according to his will. Prayer prompt: Pray for the hostages of Hamas and their families. I ran across this item in my wonderings around the galaxy.
Read, review, and write about this in your blog today. Do you know any silly city names? I've always wanted to visit the town of Nowhere. That's here in Oklahoma.
