4 Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father, and pay attention in order to gain and to know intelligent discernment, comprehension, and interpretation [of spiritual matters].
2 For I give you good doctrine [what is to be received]; do not forsake my teaching.
12 When you walk, your steps shall not be hampered [your path will be clear and open]; and when you run, you shall not stumble.
20 My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart.

I walked out to the mail box this morning and I heard the call of a mourning dove.
Between that haunting sound and the sound of the geese in the air I am not sure which one is my favorite.
I love them all.
There is something magical about the quiet and the sound of a bird singing.
We could learn something from them.
They don’t need an audience.
They don’t need applause.
They don’t even need approval.
All they seek is to worship.
The creator who gave them song for a reason.
It comes from their desire to call out to the one who made them.
“But ask the animals what they think ~ let them teach you; let the birds tell you what’s going on.
Put your ear to the earth ~ learn the basics. Listen ~ the fish in the ocean will tell you their stories.
Isn’t it clear that they all know and agree that God is sovereign, that he holds all things in his hand ~ Every living soul, yes every breathing creature? Job 12:7-12
It IS something for us to think about.

The day was windy, and rainy and cold.
The view was beautiful.
The waters were rough and it was a praiseworthy moment.

For those who know Carmen:
ttps://www.facebook.com/CarmanLicciardello and his ministry this is a hard diagnosis.
God has used his skill of singing and story telling all over the nation and now he needs our support.
Pray for him to have good doctors.
To have a good mindset and not let this get the best of him.
We know that Heaven is our final destination and we also know it is our ‘home’ we just don’t always know how we will arrive there.
May he sing and minister with every ounce of energy he has till he no longer can do it.
I have delayed writing this but those of you I call friends and supporters, who have prayed for me and this ministry need to know about this new battle that lies ahead. One week ago I was diagnosed with Myeloma Cancer. It is incurable and I’ve been given a 3-4 year window of time. Tomorrow I go in for my first bone biopsy and the process will start. I used to go to movies in the afternoon, now I go see doctors. I write these things for a few reasons. First, I want to put an end to all the rumors. Second, I ask for your prayers. And 3rd, I want you all to know that I will continue to minister and win souls until I can’t do it any longer. My life has always been about ministry. I have a call of God to touch lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ and that’s what I will do until the Lord calls me home. Please, do not allow this facebook site to be an ongoing blog for cancer treatment remedy’s. That would be depressing to everyone. If you have any insight you can message me personally. But I want to encourage you, if you can, to please come see me the next time I’m in your area. Bring someone who doesn’t know the Lord or who needs to be healed. I will always pray for the sick and I’m also going to step up the intensity of my message at these events. I will not leave this world quietly and I want the devil to know that he put cancer on absolutely the wrong Italian. I have a few good years and before it’s too late I want to see your faces, shake your hands and hug your necks. But mostly I want to see one of you get healed of what threatens your future and I really want to see someone you love come to Christ. Now lets get back to business, we have to work while its day for soon the night comes.
I love you all -C

So here I am in the place of worship,
eyes open,
drinking in your strength and glory.
In your generous love I am really living at last!
My lips brim praises like fountains.
I will bless you every time I take a breath;
My arms wave like banners of praise to you.
