"YEAH! IT'S FRIDAY!"

This week has been a long one for me. It seemed to just drag. Not a bad week really. I was really down about two weeks ago, kind of depressed. I had requested the church pray for me. The first week was better and this week even better. God has truly blessed me this week. Things are looking up.

As most of you know, I have been trying different programs on the computer that I could set up and have a work-at-home job. So far nothing had came about to bring in any money. I had almost given up on finding anything that didn't cost a lot to get started. My husband wanted me to try and find a job close to home. That is very hard in a little town. Not much turn over at what little jobs there are, except maybe at the Nursing Home. I have checked in to about 3 without any luck. But this week I was talking to my mom asking if anyone was taking her place selling Avon. She told me no and if I was interested I needed to call the lady she works under. I did, but she was out of town. I left a message for her at home and on her cell phone. God came through today. The lady called me and said I could take mom's place. It won't be a lot of money, since I am working under someone else. I only get a percentage of what I sell, but I didn't want to be the primary representative. Less pressure if I work under someone else. I still would like to find something to do on the internet to bring in some money. I know people who do. I just haven't found the right one yet. Please continue to remember me in your prayers.

One more generation down and about 5 more to go. There are 7 generations from Great-great Grandpa Melton down. If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me.

I had meant to do my study on the celebration of birthdays this week and put something on here about my findings. I totally forgot. Maybe I will get to it next week. I am glad to report I will probably have internet until after May. That is when the contract is up. Maybe by that time I will have some money coming in and we can afford to leave it connected. We will have to wait and see.


Goodnight All

WHEN WAS THE MESSIAH BORN?

It is only natural for a person to adhere to conducts and beliefs that are biblically defensible.    Be ready always to give an answer to every man  that  asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."   (1 Peter 3:15).                                 Christmas celebrations are generally observed to honor the supposed date of the birth of the Messiah.  But the facts are that Christ was not born on December 25.        " Christmas . . . was, according to many authorities, not cele-brated in the first centuries of the Christian church, as the Christian usage in general was to celebrate the death of remarkable persons, rather than the birth of Christ. ("Christmas",  Encyclopedia Americana).  How then, did the Romish Church fix on December 25th as Christmas-day?  Why, thus: long before the fourth century, a...

THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Many people stay away from the Book of Revelation because they find the symbolism frightening or confusing, or both!  But the Book of Revelation was meant to be a book of comfort to those caught up in the persecution at the end of the first century, says Ms Frances Taylor.  Christians in "Rome" had been blamed by Nero I for destroying much of the city.  They were often called "cannibals" because of their Eucharistic celebrations where they shared the "body and blood of Christ."  (they symbolically used bread and fruit of the vine for the body and blood.)   Domitian was another Emperor who persecuted the Christians at the end of the century; he was most likely the emperor who earned the designation "666".  The number 7 is very often mentioned in this book, which is the number that symbolizes completion and when in threes, God.  Domitian was considered the Satan, who clamed to be God, and fell short for the Christian, the greater danger was the los...

THE LIFE OF SAUL/PAUL

            Paul was born a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin.  He was also a Roman Citizen.  He was born in the Roman City of Tarsus.  In those days people had dual names.  Before he was known as apostle Paul, he was known as Saul of Tarsus.  Saul was his Hebrew name, Paul was his Roman name.  As Saul before his conversion he sought out the believers in Jesus.  He would hunt them down, bind them up and take them to Jerusalem to be killed.  Jesus did not change his name at his conversion.            Saul went to the high priest asking for letters to allow him entry into the synagogues at Damascus, so he could hunt down men and women that professed to be believers in Jesus. As he began his journey, he traveled down the road to Damascus.  As he drew near to the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.  He fell to the ground and he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul why are t...
