Aliza said, "we should praise God more instead of watching shows!" yes! She's getting it. Praise God! :-)

Aliza is too funny! I said to her, "go sit on the couch." to which she runs around and says, "oh praise God! Praise God! I can watch a show!" lol. no show.

O how lovely this wonderful girl is. Now 4 years old, she now knows how to call me at work using my wife's phone and in her sweet and cute voice she asks me when I'm coming home. "Soon", I tell her, "I'll be home soon".

4 ways that God speaks 1) In the Word 2 Tim 3:16 If you're not doing what he's already told you to do in the Word, why do you seek for more direction and expect God to tell you. That would just make you  accountable for more....if youre faithful with little you will be given much. God's Word has to be the final authority for your life. 2) His Voice He will never speak contrary to His Word...through dreams, visions, a donkey, an audible voice, prophets, through His Spirit. 1 Cor 2:9-12 No one knows your deep thoughts but your spirit and no one knows the deep thoughts of God but His Spirit. Communication with God is spirit to Spirit. The Lord speaks to our spirits. The more time you spend with God you will recognize His voice. Just like when you've known your wife for 9 years, when she calls you from an unknown number and just says "Hey" you will know that its her.

Joy to the world the Lord has come Based on psalm 98 God’s promises are truly,  unlike men's promises. His second coming is at hand. 2 Peter 3:9-11 He's waiting for us to speed the Gospel. We are stewards of the mysteries. Have you been faithful in that stewardship? Live a life of evangelism. Share the Gospel. Christmas is a good time to also celebrate Christ's second coming. The celebration has been twisted by Satan to become commercialized and a frantic,  stressful time. The Lord's second coming should not be a fearful awaiting... Stashing food and weapons... But you should love His appearing. Rev 21:4-5 1 Cor 15:58 Rev 20:9 Always examine your life in light of his return. Acts 1:11 Live with intensity. Are you going to live knowing that Jesus could come back this year? Will you live this new year like you lived this past year? If so, you're likely to get the same result. The saved are born twice and die once and are raised in the first resurrection...

I'm going to pick up blogging again.
