If you must know, there is someone who gives me googly eyes, no one on this forum, at least not that I'm aware of. Her own words, I say. If it freaks you out that bad, I'll get another. Let me know. He actually reminds me of Junior Asparagus, of Veggie Tales fame. I also had in mind that he is shocked at the situation we find ourselves in. - Hey, look at the beady eyes in your eek! face. Are you calling me a junkie? Lol! ...or are you? :)
God is bigger than the Googieman, He's bigger than Corona, or the mobsters on T.V. Lol







No you're fine lol I was just joking around and oh my gosh it does look like Junior!! :D

It's who we are...it's what we do...it's who we've become.

We go into the dark depths, shine His Light, and inspire (ignite) the darkness into an ascending light.




I guess that sort of makes sense. :D

Ephesians 5:13
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible--and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.

John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.

We are exactly who God created us to be.

God gave us the talents and abilities that we have. He is the one who put the desires to obtain the skills we have or don't have.

Then He directed us upon a path He chose for us to take.

Think about a dad...driving his teenage boys to a revival. He sees the town drunk's kid walking down the side of the road. So he talks the kid into coming with him.

That kid's name was William Graham...aka Billy Graham. Now I'm not cut out to be Billy Graham...but I can be a dad giving a kid a lift. A unique person at the perfect time to do an easy task that had a huge, world changing effect.

Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. And if I was used in such a fashion... well my feelings wouldn't be hurt in the least.

Sampson was raised to do great things...but he didn't want to do them. He had a really bad attitude about it all. But God had his way of accomplishing the tasks in spite of what Sampson wanted...

You can't thwart God and his plans He has for you. You can try...but it just doesn't work.

You are who you are.. no more and certainly no less.

How Much Do We Really Know About Ourselves?
OP ^

Most, Majority? IMO;
Know "ALOT" About ourselves.

Most, Majority? IMO;
Understand "LITTLE" About ourselves.

On a broad scale, I think most "know" their Minds thoughts and Hearts thoughts CONFLICT.

The Mind hears, sees, or analysis and is quick to react, criticize toward, about others, AND even oneself.

The Heart reacts to the MIND thoughts and acts...and feels bad.

The CONSTANT, internal CONFLICT between ones Minds thoughts and ones Hearts thoughts....
* Scientifically...IS Societies strong hold on men (IMO), teaching; promoting; your RELIEF IS "Quick, Easy, Expensive Chemical Compounds Pharmaceuticals."
* Spiritually...Gods Offering; your RELIEF IS "Conversion/ Restored soul, Quickened spirit/ "His Power" internally; to give you a new heart, and the Power to Overcome your internal CONFLICT, between your Heart and Mind.


I would say "a mans internal conflict" is the most notible thing a man KNOWS about himself...and Yet the Least UNDERSTOOD by the Majority of men, of How to permanently correct the "internal conflict".
