Zombie Insurance??? Is this a hoax???
I have heard, read and seen Face Book posts about being prepared to fight an invasion of zombies. I've looked at the list of things one would need. If this is a real thing why wouldn't the list comprise itself of weapons and ammo? Personally, I wouldn't rid myself of the things on the list to have if in fact a zombie does approach me (lol) however I would add a few items, such as, Blue Ray gun, a Browning or RPG-7 and that's just to name a few (Modern Warfare weapons). I am literally laughing my butt off about this. They can't be serious! ZOMBIE INSURANCE??? Oh my gosh! Who sits around and come up with these ideas? What kind of world are we living in when we let video games become a part of the real world? I want to hear from you. What do you think about this phenomenon?

GPS System for Teen Drivers
I was listening to my favorite regular morning radio show this morning and they posed a question, "Teens better be careful now that a new tracking device is being offered . It's a GPS that allows parents to keep tabs on every place their kids go and even makes it known if the young drivers exceed the speed limit._____ Parents would you be for the GPS tracking device or is it being too over protective ( lack of trust )?"
I listened to what the hosts had to say and some of the callers because everyone has their opinions that they are entitled to, however, I strongly disagree with some of the responses. One gentlemen called in and said that he is a young parent and if you are supposed to be a Christian and you trust the Lord then do that. Then hosts of the show was like, "Why use a technical device to trust your kids?"
As I thought about what was being said, the more this blog was readily on my mind. I have to say to the guy who called in, live a little. When you have parented for some time then come and talk to me. I'm not trying to make this personal because at one time in my life I would have agreed with them but life with a teenager has taught me some things. Do I agree with the GPS system? Yes ma'am, sir, I do! Yes, we teach our children how to live in the Lord. Yes, we do it with the help of the Lord...everyday. Yes, I do believe in the scripture that was used famously this morning, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Prov 22:6 However, let's keep it in it's context. Our children are in training until they leave our house. It's all about how you look at something. I don't think it's being over protective, although there are some parents that may apply to but it's teaching them to be honest. If you say you are going to be somewhere then be there. God gives us wisdom and we have to use it. I do agree on one level with them about the trust issue but it's not about using a technical device to trust our children. If there is a trust issue with that child then I believe the parent has every right to put a GPS system on their vehicle, in which, they are probably using the parent's vehicle anyway.
If one has a child that is not trouble to them, then praise God but don't judge another parent's way of doing things because you DON'T have that same struggle. And to add to that, the parents with young children, I'd suggest the same thing because raising an elementary verses a teen are two TOTALLY different situations. It's nowhere near the same thing. If you haven't experienced it then keep on living.

Trail Blazers
Trail Blazers
It’s time to be set ablaze for the Lord. It’s time to give Him our all. It’s time to
be about our Father’s business. We have slacked and sulked long enough. It’s time
to FAITH HARD or GO HOME! It seems as though the trails that we are leaving behind are no
longer blazing. We have generations coming behind us therefore we must do what we have
to do in order to leave this trail blazing. Can you imagine a generation not
knowing God? Do you know what happens to a generation when they don’t know God?
Captivity, bondage and slavery happens. In Exodus 1:6 says, “And Joseph died,
and all his brethren, and all that generation.” An entire generation died, no
one to talk about who God is and how to live upright before Him. Verse 7 and 8
says, “And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and
multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. Now
there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.” As long as
someone knew who Joseph was and his God, the children of Israel were good but
as soon as he died and another king took his place that didn’t know Joseph,
something terrible happened. Verse 11 says, “Therefore they did set over them
taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure
cities, Pithom and Raames.” They enslaved the next generation and killed off
half of them as toddlers and babies. We MUST leave a blazed trail for this next
generation! My question to you is; how are you going TRAIL BLAZE our next
generation?

Grant Proposal
Grant Proposal
Ever since I heard the preacher Kenny Grant say, “You do the minimum and let God do his
maximum and together forms the miracle” it’s been on my mind and I can’t forget it. In
prayer today, the Holy Spirit brought it back up and gave me this revelation. This
is concerning business strictly. It can be used for any part of life but He
brought it up when I was praying for my business. He said, “It’s like a grant
proposal. Sometimes the grantor will ask for the grantee to put up a certain
amount of money and then they will match it. That is what this means. We are to
do the work and do it to the best of our ability. Once we do that, it’s then we
can stand and watch the salvation of the Lord. It’s when we don’t give it our
all then expect for God to bring “salvation” to it that we fail. It’s time for
us to do more…not from what everyone is teaching but from what the Holy Spirit
teaches. I have finally enlisted a business coach and he is the best around.
Better yet, he’s free. You don’t have to use up gas to get to him nor do you
have to wait for him to call you back…maybe sometimes but very seldom. I
have to share him with you. His name is H.G. for Holy Ghost. He teaches me all
things and brings all things back to my remembrance (John 16:9). He will give
you your own secret to success but the key is, you have to trust what He’s
telling you. He will give you who to talk to and where to go. God is willing to
GRANT your PROPOSAL but you have to at least do the minimum. Be blessed.
