Ahhh.... Sunday has come and gone!!!

Hello FOLKS!
Well Sunday has come and gone. Thank you so much for your prayers! I believe that the Lord spoke through me. :) What an intense responsibility. This week of preparation has been littered with distractions. :) One being the animals here decided to misbehave yesterday!!!! :) Except the puppies... they are complete angels! :)

The house Im staying at has two adult dogs who stay in one part of the yard always.... Somehow yesterday they executed an amazing escape and flaunted thier victory all over the property... Smiling, jumping, running, barking, running and jumping some more. At first it was quite entertaining until we remembered the new rabbits in the back yard! AND even worse... one of the dogs has a strange disorder. When it gets a hold of a ball or any kind of a toy... it will latch on to it and shake his head compulsivly knocking himself in the head... the knocking himself in the head makes him get more aggressive about pulverizing what ever he has in his mouth.... this cycle can continue indefinately...

For those of you reading right now.... no animals were harmed in the making of this story!

Anyway... with all that said... the urgency of returning the dogs to thier natural habit muy rapido was very important!!! :) We were able to coax them with some chicken bones.... Phew... Crisis diverted..... for about 30 minutes...

until they broke out AGAIN!!! :) We did another round of casing down the two German Sheppard criminals! :)

then maybe an hour or so later the rabbits decided it was there turn... not so smart since the dogs had thier inflicted their havoc earlier... but hey what's life without a few risks!

The Rabbits... Houdini 1 and 2
and the angels of the family! :)


Okay... so that was the distractions... here is a small portion of the message I gave today :)
When i took the above photo Lord was speaking to me. I had an overwhelming feeling that the Lord was saying... take notice of this place.. you can learn a lot here!!! So after returning home I looked at this photo many many times. I prayed over it and this is what I feel the Lord is trying to speak to us today...

Neglect reaps destruction.....

The spiritual parallels in this photo are amazing. Really.... The house is our hearts.... We've asked Jesus to enter our hearts and reside there. Over time we are confronted with the sins of this world and sometimes we allow sin to reside in our hearts.
With time.... We neglect the state of our hearts... maybe we do not want to see whats there. And the photo you see is the product. Neglect of sin produces destruction.
Its true in this photo too.... Neglect has made this house uninhabitable. How is the house you have provided for Jesus? Are there things that have gone unacknowledged? Others might not be able to see from the outside but are there things in your life that is making your heart uninhabitable?
