 12.19-

FB,Facebook, has become a place of sharing important thoughts among friends.

For about ten years I have tried to write a daily devo of sorts for me and my "friends" and deep, beloved and long term personal friends. This is includes very personal "life processing" for some of us.

At 7.36am on Tuesday, 12.13.22,in DFW we a tornado warning going near us. Horns going off in NRH.

Get in your shelter, cellar, lowest floor, inner room closest away from windows.

Mike Leach is a well known college football coach, impacting, Kentucky, Texas Tech and Mississippi and all of football from high school to pro. People either loved or despised him it seems. He was a lawyer and coffee shop philosopher. At 61 he had a heart attack Saturday and passed away. Praying for his family today. A storm in their lives.

He said in one interview that what mattered most was family, friends and spiritual things. He said wins come and go but the process of being the best person you can be is a dream worth pursuing.

There is a life storm coming. Do not simply hear good words but practice them in your daily life. This is the way to build your life in a solid way.

Today I will cherish my family and friends and be more full of joy and gratefulness for guidance from Jesus on building my house on a rock.

Matthew 7

7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow and Wide Gates

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

True and False Prophets

15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

True and False Disciples

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

The Wise and Foolish Builders

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
