The Last Dinosaur (#2)

     Technology can be quite daunting at least for me.  That's why I think I am the last dinosaur: someone from a prehistoric era.  I remember all too well the good old days of cassette tapes, and tape recorders.  Remember those days?  ( okay, I realise my age is showing here!)  Oh the joys of recording music on a tape recorder and being able to rewind or fast-forward at will? Now I've scarcely gotten used to Cd's then along came Mp3s, digital voice recorders etc and all the other devices I can't recall.  But, time marches on and so must I.  I'm told the only constant is change.  But... wait a minute; "Hold your horses !" as we would say in this part of the world. What about God?  What about salvation through Jesus Christ? Thank God for these unchangeables!    A dinosaur like me can finally exhale!

Giving Life

Image
There I was enjoying a program on television when suddenly there was a loud "boom!", then total darkness both in and outside as well. Away I hustled to find candles in their designated spot. Soon the house was lit with the soft, dim glow of candle light. Fortunately, this was short-lived and the electricity was restored. After this, I felt like some piano playing was needed at this time, and went to the Music Room. When I got there I found my keyboard still plugged in to the  surge  protector. Alas, I could not not play my keyboard  because apparently the sudden  surge of electricity had knocked out the surge protector!   In other words it had given its 'life' to protect my keyboard! You know, it reminded me of God's Salvation plan.  Jesus' intervention in our lives was a rescue mission. His selfless sacrifice involved the giving of His life to save us. We are protected from the judgement of a Holy God because His son Christ Jesus,  paid the ultim

God's Action File!

"...Don't be afraid Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understsanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven..." (Daniel 10:12 NLT) I will admit being organised is not one of my attributes.  But because of my gift of writing & composing,  I am forced to be organised... Well, sort of ! To this end, I have created an 'action' file which contains my various in-progress writings. Mind you, I have not opened this file in recent times! Yes, this is something I must take action on! You know, unlike us, God is always taking action when we present our prayers to Him. I know we can get discouraged when we do not get instant answers to our prayer requests. But let's get some encouragement from someone in the Bible.   Daniel had a perplexing vision and prayed for understanding what it meant. It would take twenty one days before Daniel received the explanation of the vision. He was told by an angel that the answer h

Of Panic, Prayer, Prophecy, and Promptings

What do you do when you are faced with an unexpected situation? If you are like me you press the panic button! Thankfully, my faith 'kicked' in and I prayed fervently for a miracle. Yes, it would take nothing less than a miracle for this girl waiting at the bus stop with no money to get home! How did that happen? Well, she left home with just bus fare for one trip; confident she had her purse in her bag. But She forgot that it was still in her 'church bag' from the day before. She had forgotten remove it! So there she was - waiting for a miracle and humming "Still I Rise" to counter the panic which would rise now and then. Suddenly, she found herself saying these prophetic words: "Whoever you are, stop and give me a ride home!" Sometime later, the miracle occurred! A minister-friend pulled up at the bus stop and offered her a lift.   Apparently he was on his way home and was debating which road he should take.   He was impressed
