i was reading in my new bible i got for christmas from a speacil young lady..on tuesday when pastor young was preaching in 1 Corinthinans for are footwashing servies which by the way was awsome..but i came across in the same chapter they talk about a huge subject that people always talk about and question the rock church about.and it has to do with why are women dont cut there hair and why are men dont have long hair..well in 1 corinthinans 11:6 that a women in the days of paul if a women was to be covered to show modesty and submission to her husband and to demonstrate dignity,the viel was ment that she was to be respected and honored as a women.its also why are women waer dresses and clothes that are modest.because in those days if a women did not do those things she was not respected by no man.the viel serves as a sign of value and glory as womenhood as God created them.a women that does this enhances her own God-given place of dignity and worth..viel also symbolize "power" or authority on her head.and the reason that a man does not have long hair is to distinguish between one and the other. other words to tell men and women apart.in the days of paul the corinthins if a man had long hair it signified you where a paganmale and for a women with short hair it identified them as a prostitutes.so just because the paintings and sculptures of jesus have him in long hair its belived that jesus was following the nazirite vow or upon the imaginition of the artist from the middle ages, not upon biblical or historical evidence.so use as guys cant use that as a excuse to have long hair... so i thank my pastor and bishop for seting standards for ... See Morethere church based on the bibcal way..this world needs standards with out the churches would be like the world today...be not confromed by this world.

Some thoughts...
Wow... What to say??? God has been so incredible to me!
It's amazing to think that i have been blessed with such awesome friend's and family...
In a quote somewhere reads " If you have one good friend in the world you have been very
fortunate, If you have two you are extremely blessed!" Whoever wrote that was very intelligent
and insightful....
But they never met me!
Here are some of my favorite friendship quotes.
"A friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out"
-Walter Winchell-
"Love is blind, Friendship closes its eyes"
-Unknown-
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and sings it back to you when you have
forgotten how it goes"
-Unknown-
Thank you lord for your exceeding blessings!
Poor Aubrey!

Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little Lamb,
His fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school each day,
When it wasn't against the rules.
He made the the children laugh and play
To have the Lamb at school
Then the rules changed one day,
Against the law it became.
To bring the Lamb of God to school
Or even speak His name.
Every day got worse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh and play,
You heard them crying tears.
What must we do to stop the crime,
That's in our schools today?
Let the Lamb come back to school
And teach our kids to pray.
Forgiveness
A letter written to a man on death row by the Father of the man whom the man on death row had killed:
You are probably surprised that I, of all people, am writing a letter to you, but I ask you to read it in its entirety and consider its request seriously. As the Father of the man whom you took part in murdering, I have something very important to say to you.
I forgive you. With all my heart, I forgive you. I realize it may be hard for you to believe, but I really do. At your trial, when you confessed to your part in the events that cost my Son his life and asked for my forgiveness, I immediately granted you that forgiving love from my heart. I can only hope you believe me and will accept my forgiveness.
But this is not all I have to say to you. I want to make you an offer -- I want you to become my adopted child. You see, my Son who died was my only child, and I now want to share my life with you and leave my riches to you. This may not make sense to you or anyone else, but I believe you are worth the offer. I have arranged matters so that if you will receive my offer of forgiveness, not only will you be pardoned for your crime, but you also will be set free from your imprisonment, and your sentence of death will be dismissed. At that point, you will become my adopted child and heir to all my riches.
I realize this is a risky offer for me to make to you -- you might be tempted to reject my offer completely -- but I make it to you without reservation.
Also, I realize it may seem foolish to make such an offer to one who cost my Son his life, but I now have a great love and an unchangeable forgiveness in my heart for you.
Finally, you may be concerned that once you accept my offer you may do something to cause you to be denied your rights as an heir to my wealth. Nothing could be further from the truth. If I can forgive you for your part in my Son's death, I can forgive you for anything. I know you never will be perfect, but you do not have to be perfect to receive my offer. Besides, I believe that once you have accepted my offer and begin to experience the riches that will come to you from me, that your primary (though not always) response will be gratitude and loyalty.
Some would call me foolish for my offer to you, but I wish for you to call me your Father.
Sincerely,
The Father of Jesus
Friendship Prayer
I got down on my knees today,
And said a prayer for you,
For you are always in my heart,
And I often think of you,
I asked the Lord to send his angels,
To protect my dearest friend,
I prayed that all the joy and happiness,
You have will never end,
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
When you are feeling blue,
And when you have a tear,
He'll wipe away that too,
I asked the Lord to bless our friendship,
So our ways will never part,
For true friends always stick together,
For we're in each others hearts.

I’m Trying, But…
I’m trying, but…
what I want to do,
I don’t do enough of,
and what I don’t want to do,
I do too much of.
I know the rules for a Christian life,
according to the Bible,
and I’m trying; I really am, but…
heaven and eternity seem so far away,
and the rampantly materialistic world
presses in so close
from every direction, every side,
that I get distracted.
Focus, focus, focus!
I need to focus, laser-like
on a simple, God-centered life.
Do I really need
to make that frivolous purchase,
instead of giving the money
to someone who needs it
so much more than I do?
Can I watch that TV show,
read that book, listen to that song
that contains (and promotes!)
even a little bit
of what the Bible forbids,
without being corrupted?
Do I do enough
to love and help and encourage others?
Pride always hovers,
eagerly waiting
to subdue and conquer humility,
so I think too much of myself.
I know the rules;
the Bible makes everything clear.
Forgive me, Lord;
I’m trying, but…

Help Me Forgive
When rage and fury overwhelm my heart,
It’s time to look to God’s own Holy Word.
I search the Bible for His good advice;
My will to His commands must be deferred.
In Romans God reveals His love for me;
In all things God works only for my good;
He gives me blessings I can’t understand;
I’d be peaceful if I’d do the things I should.
Jesus forgave so much; why then can’t I?
I want to mold my life after His own.
I pray, I try, but my sinful nature wins;
Lord, help me, I can’t do this thing alone.
In Colossians, I read about the peace of Christ;
Oh, how I long to feel it in my heart.
All I have to do is to forgive,
But Lord, it seems I don’t know where to start.
I need to walk a mile in the other’s shoes;
They’re doing what they think they have to do.
I know some problems are blessings in disguise,
But Lord, sometimes I feel so doggone blue.
Ephesians says "forgive as the Lord forgave you;
Get rid of anger and every form of malice."
I’d love to just let go and release it all,
But upon my heart is a wound that’s become a callus.
I’ll keep praying, trying, Lord, no matter what;
I’m determined to let go and relinquish blame;
Some day, I’ll say, and be truly sincere:
"I forgive it all in Jesus’ precious name."
(Romans 8:28, Colossians 3:13, Ephesians 4:31)

To Do List From God
I ran my life in search of worldly things;
My time and will were firmly in control.
I thought I had no need for what God brings;
I gave no heed to murmurs from my soul.
“You’re planning, doing all the time,” it said,
“But something else is missing deep inside.
Your mind is whirling, but your heart is dead,
So turn to God and let go of your pride.”
I did, and God said, “Here’s My plan for you:
Give your life to Me, and just let go.
Have faith and pray, and read the Bible through,
And you’ll have blessings more than you can know.”
So simple, yet it brings me perfect peace,
Living life for God the way I should.
Direction, purpose, fullness and release—
Life with God is very, very good.
