Love Your Neighbor
In our society, we love to donate to people we can’t see, especially people in other countries. This is great. But we also need to remember to love our neighbor. There are plenty of people in need that we can see every day. You will never know just how good a hot meal can be until you buy or make it for someone you can talk to and pray with who isn’t sure where that next hot meal will come from, if it comes at all. Take this moment to pray for your neighbor. Not just the one who lives next door, but the one you see on the street as well. Buy someone near you a bag of groceries or a hot meal. Give the gift of friendship. Take the time to get to know someone less fortunate than yourself and pray with them. Feed the world, but feed your neighbor also. Feed belly and spirit alike. Do this not only during the holidays, but throughout the year. This is an important part of the Great Commission, as you will be able to reach more people with the Good News of Christ by example than you will be…

Web hosting…
Would you believe it? As soon as I get my main website back up on a new host, the server it was on is once again online after having been down for 2 days. I really can’t complain though, the original server has been online longer than any other I’ve used. So now I have several options. I can a) switch the DNS A records for kyle.tk and picospeaker.tk back to the server I know to be reliable, with the exception of the last two days b) leave those sites on the new host and transfer the rest, one per day until they are all transferred (I can only create one website per 24 hours, I guess to prevent spam) c) use my dns service to provide failover, a to b or b to a in case something goes wrong again with either one, the main problem with that being the difference in the way the hosting providers handle mail d) ditch the whole shared hosting idea and just buy a vps, maybe with a shared hosting DNS failover on a free host, likely a or b, as a backup for the important stuff Thoughts,…

My heart is on fire, A burning desire, God's love takes me higher, Lifted from the mire. The Word of God is true, Shows me what to do When I’m going through Trials, temptations too. LORD I praise Your name, For you took the blame, All my guilt and shame I no longer claim. I worship You alone, Who sits upon the throne, And when my life is done, You'll welcome me home. ~Kyle

Just saw this commercial on TV. "All cat parents want their little girls to love their food." Seriously, people, get real! Pets are not people, they are animels. And if you are a human being who has given birth to a kitten or a puppy, the National Inquirer, and all the inquiring minds who want to know, would love to hear from you. There's probably some money in it for you and your "child."

That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil. 2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east. 4 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 5 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually. 6 Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh,…

But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s loss.” 5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, “Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?” 6 Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!” Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen. 7 The king arose in his wrath from the…

1 Kings 14, 15 John 1:1-28 1 Kings 14 1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. 2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, that you won’t be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Go to Shiloh. Behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people. 3 Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.” 4 Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age. 5 Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.” 6 It was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, “Come in, you wife of Jeroboam! Why do you pretend to be another?…

They came into the country of Moab, and continued there. 3 Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4 They took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years. 5 Mahlon and Chilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband. 6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Yahweh had visited his people in giving them bread. 7 She went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with…

The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?” 4 The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. 5 The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They thought to have slain me, and they forced my concubine, and she is dead. 6 I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. 7…

Isn’t her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her, instead.” 3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them.” 4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the middle between every two tails. 5 When he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves. 6 Then the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” They said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to…

It is most holy. 2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle around on the altar. 3 He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards, 4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away; 5 and the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to Yahweh: it is a trespass offering. 6 Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy. 7 “‘As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering; there is one law for them.

25 Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they? 27 “Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? 28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin, 29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith? 31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your…

A Song of Ascents. By David. 1 Yahweh, my heart isn’t haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me. 2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. 3 Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forward and forever more.
