		<content type="html">IT'S YOUR NEXT MOVE, LORD &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Do you see the devil's leer when you get up every morning? &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;When you listen to Darwin's Theory of Evolution,which tries to say that God did not make the heavens and earth, you can only wonder. Any sensible person realizes that God would use the elements and evolution to help create what he wants - bearing in mind, that the evil devil keeps close and does put snags in the way. &lt;BR&gt;The devil leers at the way television is confusing and not amusing in displays of nudity and inmortality that is being shown every day.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;There are those who question the Virgin Mary's virginity, they ponder all the impossibility of this. But they do not know of God's great power as one who created magnitude of things,&amp;nbsp; so, &amp;nbsp;what is the impossibility of Mary being born without sin. The Virgin Mary, born without the devil's evil original sin,, was by God's power able to retain her virginity as the Holy Spirit brought her the necessary sperm to form a child, keeping her virginity intact. Jesus's birth was a miracle in itself his being born in a stable, under the Lord's protection, with only Joseph to help in the birth process. Tenderly handling the child in work worn hands to bathe him and hand him to Mary who put him in swaddling clothes. ( which I learned were children's wrapping, they used wrapped the newborns for protection from the elements, etc which was obviously wise in that day). &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The older one gets the more obvious it becomes that we are put on this earth as pawns - God made us to be his perfection for heaven. The devil tries and has been forever trying to usurp his power and put us under his domain of hell. It becomes our struggle to resist the devil and hold fast to God and follow Jesus who God sent to help make us more perfect. It was through Jesus that the Holy Spirit was sent down to earth which I can only believe is the teachings and religion that Jesus Christ brought to us through his crucifixion. The holier one strives to be the harder the devil digs into us. By the end of life it depends on which has had the most hold on you to determine your demise - heaven or hell. This is truly a proving ground, and will always remain so, the world will never change, wars etc will continue until the Lord determines that enough is enough- we cannot change the world, only ourselves.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;So the next move is up to you Lord. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Your very lowly servant- ginabeth </content>

		<content type="html">As a lonely child who no one would listen to.&lt;BR&gt;I prayed, and you answered me.&lt;BR&gt;By giving me the urge to write it all down&lt;BR&gt;Which gave me years of a way to let of steam.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;When I ended up in Shreveport, with no job.&lt;BR&gt;A three year old son to feed and support.&lt;BR&gt;An old car ready to completely fall apart.&lt;BR&gt;I prayed, and you answered me.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I ended up having two jobs (which it took to &lt;BR&gt;make ends meet) &lt;BR&gt;And soon you sent my,my knight in shining&lt;BR&gt;armour, of the Air Force Uniform.&lt;BR&gt;Who married me and took me home.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;When he lay on his back at Lackland AFB.&lt;BR&gt;With only a fifty percent chance to ever walk again.&lt;BR&gt;I prayed, and you answered me.&lt;BR&gt;He walked and kept on walking for forty&amp;nbsp; three&lt;BR&gt;happy years.
