“He (Jesus Christ) answered and said to them, When it is evening, you say, “Fair weather; for the sky is red.And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and gloomy.” O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” Matthew 16:3

As the plane rolled into another stomach-churning maneuver, the passenger was probably wishing that he was somewhere else.
Then, just like that, he was.

“And all the people of the earth are counted as nothing; and He does according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the people of the earth. And none can strike His hand, or say to Him, What are You doing?” Daniel 4:35
Often times, when God compels our boldness to speak the truth – we Christians hesitate; remaining instead, strangely silent. Such was the case for me personally. On a late summer day way back in 1993, the Holy Spirit prodded me to boldly speak of the Son of God to a dying man – my aging father, Kenneth James Bateman.
“Dad? May I share something with you today?”, I meekly asked. His cantankerous response was quick and sure. “No! I don’t need to hear about your Jesus and heaven. End of story.”

“And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel.” (Genesis 3:9-15

“And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea. And the third part of the sea became blood. And the third part of the creatures in the sea, those having souls, died; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.” Revelation 8:8-9
MOSCOW, March 18 (RIA Novosti) – A newly discovered asteroid will fly past Earth on Wednesday at little more than twice the altitude of a geosynchronous telecom satellite, the Spaceweather prediction center reported on its website.

“And all who believed were together and had all things common. And they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need. And continuing with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they shared food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:44-47
These scriptures describe, in a beautifully simplistic way, the attitude, atmosphere and approval of true fellowship amongst Christians who gather in the name of Jesus Christ.
David Wilkerson Predicting U.S. Catastrophe

“Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.” Colossians 3:22-25
With all the credibility David Wilkerson seemingly has – apparently he nor those who follow after the validity of such “prophecies” forget God’s admonition:
“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” II Peter 1:19-21
Enoch spoke of God’s coming wrath and his words are found again in the book of Jude. Enoch (and all who prophesied in times past) were driven by God the Holy Spirit alone.

“Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?” (Proverbs 20:6)
Faithfulness is like a rare and precious gem. It is difficult to find a real such gem, though there are many who will offer their virtues as a substitute.
Moses, however, was one such man.
“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house.” (Hebrews 3:5)
So was Abraham.
“So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.” (Galatians 3:9)
Moses and Abraham were full of faith in Gods Word; therefore they were faithful to Gods Word. The very word “faithful” means “full of faith.”
God is not impressed with those who boast of themselves and their qualifications or who belittle others.

A Catholic priest recently ascended to heaven on a host of helium party balloons, paying homage to Lawn Chair Larry’s aerial adventure. Larry, the beloved survivor of a Darwin-worthy fiasco, attached 45 helium weather balloons to his lawn chair, packed a picnic lunch, and cut the tether–but instead of drifting above the Los Angeles landscape as planned, he was rocketed into LAX air traffic lanes by the lift of the weather balloons. Astoundingly, Larry survived the flight.
Adelir Antonio, 51, was not so lucky.

Everyone tells me that I am way to serious about stuff. Actually, I have a pretty lame sense of humor – something to do with spending thirty plus years living in a full house with a wife, a least a dozen young people, eight Jack Russell Terriers and a border dog named “Jack.”
So, I created a special category called, “Duh!” This is where I will post at least one stupid story from around the world… a stupid story for every day of the year – unless you’re Jewish! If you are – then you get blessed with four additional stupid stories for free! Enjoy!

P.S. By the way, I was known as “Spanky” each time I hiked portions of the 2,178-mile Appalachian Trail… that’s gotta’ count for something.
