Sheep and Wolves

Gallery 31 Jan 2014 Kathie Whitestone Thompson Leave a comment

Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

via Matthew 10:15-17 KJV;CJB – Verily I say unto you, It shall be more – Bible Gateway.

Let us diligently pray and seek to be as this verse commands. Let us weigh our words carefully. Let us frame our responses to encourage, yet without feigned flattery; let us answer valid questions with Scripture, either by actual quote or demonstrated life. After all, what does it matter what we think about any given social controversy? What matters is what has GOD said!

Yesterday Joni Eareckson Tada gave a statement regarding the rescinding of an Oscar Nomination for the song, Alone Yet Not Alone, written by music writer Bruce Broughton and lyricist Dennis Spiegel. Joni was wise and harmless. Here is her statement:

Joni at the microphone“While I can only imagine the disappointment of music writer Bruce Broughton and lyricist Dennis Spiegel in the rescinding of their Oscar nomination, it in no way detracts from either the song’s beauty or its message. I was humbled and honored to have been asked to sing it for the film, and was as surprised as anyone when I learned of the song’s nomination. I was grateful for the attention the nomination brought to this worthy song and the inspirational film behind it, as well as to the ongoing work of Joni and Friends to people affected by disabilities. The decision by the Academy to rescind the nomination may well bring even further attention, and I only hope it helps to further extend the message and impact of the song. Regarding the reasons for the nomination being rescinded, it is not my place to speculate as I have no insights into the workings of the entertainment industry. I was honored to be invited to sing the song and it will always be a treasured experience.”

Let us be wise and harmless on this 31st day of 2014,

ABBA, we ask for teachable spirits; teachable that we may learn to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves; teachable that we may go forth in this world and do some good for JESUS name sake.

A Recommendation

I finished book 2 today! It is this one:

There is a companion DVD entitled The Harbinger Decoded. I viewed that again today with a group of Sister-Friends. They want to see it again next week. They want others to see it. It is important. This book is important. This DVD is important. But more important here is the MESSAGE. The Message to you, the message to me; the message to America. I invite you to hear.

To give you a taste, hear and see:

Please consider investing your time to hear this Message on this 10th day of 2014 ~~~

Guidelines for the New Year

Gallery 2 Jan 2014 Kathie Whitestone Thompson 2 Comments

It has been a pleasant, soul-feeding day; not to mention the body feeding as well. Oven fried pork chops, black-eyed peas, cabbage, turnip greens, cornbread and for some sweet tea; for yours truly unsweetened and I have actually grown to prefer it — most of the time. And with a quick ‘have a little talk with JESUS’ prayer I resisted the urge for Dunkin Donuts this evening.

Speaking of ‘have a little talk with JESUS’ praying, I am determined to do more of that this year as evidenced by this evening – It works!

My Little Girl has a great guideline for the New Year. She posted it to Facebook; I’m borrowing it.

2014 is going to be a great year! Live a life of joy every day!! — feeling hopeful.

And she is smart enough to know that every day is not going to lend its self to happiness; but she is also wise enough to know we can CHOOSE to retain the JOY of the LORD.
