This morning assured me again that my practice of consistently listening only to Christian music is a good choice for me. Lyrics often drift gently through my mind as I am stirring in the mornings. This morning a song came barging its way; it was a song I had heard a week earlier as I was traveling with others (not a sin glamorizing tune, just not one on my steady diet list) even so I quickly shewed it away countering it with Blessed Assurance Jesus is mine oh what a foretaste of glory divine. Ah so much better. :)
Here, take a listen! It just might make your day. :)

A brief word this morning; I am back in my familiar place after a long for me absence. My reading text this morning was the Gospel According to Mark and I am here with this word for families, even if your family is just two.
This particular scene in the Text is a nasty one. The Torah teachers have accused JESUS of being a devil. He attempts to reason with them, but they want no part of it. His warning is this:25 and if a household is divided against itself, that household can’t survive. [source]
Let us heed the warning Families! Large or small or very small be NOT divided one against another. Come together, reason together. Talk out those disagreements in love and kindness with one another; be not divided! Eat together. Cook together. Laugh together. Play together – catch in the front yard – with prayer you CAN find together activities for the WHOLE family! Tackle obstacles together and if you have been doing it alone for a while, give yourselves a needed learning curve. Rome was not built in a day and getting your house in order won’t be either. :)
Walk together even when you are in your respective out of the home places.
And for J and me today it’s taxes! :)
Until Next Time ~ ~ ~ Kathie Your Prayer requests welcomed
11 Adonai, teach me your way, so that I can live by your truth; make me single-hearted, so that I can fear your name. 12 I will thank you, Adonai my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify your name forever. 13 For your grace toward me is so great! You have rescued me from the lowest part of Sh’ol. [source]
Make me single-hearted.A request I understand. A request that I make as well. A single-hearted soul married to the Son of GOD. Single-hearted; having a heart for GOD alone as LORD and Ruler of the soul; living in a covenant relationship with the Son of GOD. What could be better? What could better serve the Body of Christ than this? May it be so!
You have rescued me from the lowest part of Sh’ol.
I come to you today with an invitation. An invitation to read Psalm 86. For a link and easy access to the Text, clickHERE.
It’s a prayer of David’s recorded for us, for us to pray too; for us to read and fill our souls with strength and courage and just an all over sense HE LOVES ME!
This is the verse that sent me here to you: 7 On the day of my trouble I am calling on you, for you will answer me. [source] and this is my note to myself, actually to us. :)
On the day. On the day of my trouble. I will not wait. I will not wait to call on You ABBA. I will not first go to anyone else. To You I will come immediately with my troubles! And I will come first to You, ABBA, because I know You will answer me.
That’s what David prayed. We can pray it too! We just did!
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
