The Nation That Forgets God | The Girl Jo

The Nation That Forgets God. June 19, 2012. This blog post caught my attention recently: What in the hell has happened to this country? I thought to myself, Question asked, question answered. How about the media’s disgust over a turkey being slaughtered? Where is their disgust toward those who slaughter babies, those who shed blood that the earth is forced to receive day after day after day? We can protest and picket and blame the Democrats and blog 24/7 complaining about the upheaval taking place in Ame...

Sinking Sand | The Girl Jo
https://thegirljo.wordpress.com/2011/09/22/sinking-sand
September 22, 2011. About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:. A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. 1 From bondage to spiritual faith. 2 From spiritual faith to great courage. 3 From courage to liberty. 4 From liberty to abundance. Address nev...

The Words | The Girl Jo
https://thegirljo.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/the-words
January 7, 2012. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the words, in fact, I can take you to the spot. They took a path to my heart where other life-changing words are inscribed and every time I revisit them, the more deeply they are etched. A much-debated subject amongst Christians is whether or not it is a sin to drink alcohol. Although Yahweh never issued a direct Thou shalt not drink alcohol commandment, there are scriptures that address the issue, and only the hardened heart can ignore them.

What Happened to James. December 24, 2015. This is, as they say, based on a true story…. WHAT HAPPENED TO JAMES. 8220;Hey, Ricky! 8221; whispered the girl. Her friend looked up from his math paper and raised his eyebrows as if to answer her. “Let’s scare James! 8221; she whispered again. She poked Ricky in the arm and motioned toward James with her eyes. “Watch this! 8221; Again, James wheeled around with his face white with fear. “Did you hear that? 8221; he asked Ricky and the girl. Pretending to be af...

Redeeming the Time | The Girl Jo
https://thegirljo.wordpress.com/2013/12/13/redeeming-the-time
December 13, 2013. I confess, I love this time of year. And apparently, I am not alone. Did you know there is an I Love Christmas Facebook page? It has 1,847,053 likes and counting. The decorations in the stores and the lights on houses (even the tacky ones), the endless Christmas movies on Hallmark Channel, the smell of cinnamon, and especially the music (singing along to the top of my lungs when I’m alone in the car) – it all MAKES ME HAPPY. I love this time of year. So, for the next few days, I will e...

My Favorite Birthday Gift | The Girl Jo
https://thegirljo.wordpress.com/2011/07/22/my-favorite-birthday-gift
My Favorite Birthday Gift. July 22, 2011. Birthdays…can’t live without ‘em. I am very grateful for each one – and I enjoy a little bit of celebration, but not too much. Never have been one to want to be the center of attention on any day, especially a day that shines the spotlight on the fact that I am another year older. But, I do enjoy the special times with family and friends that the day brings. One year my friends went in together and bought a camera for me. It was in the early days of the full ...

The Truth Never Changes | The Girl Jo
https://thegirljo.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/the-truth-never-changes
The Truth Never Changes. July 11, 2011. Etienne De La Boetie (1530-1563) was a sixteenth-century French political philosopher, judge, writer, and friend of Montaigne. Writing of personal liberty he said:. Where has he acquired enough eyes to spy upon you, if you do not provide them yourselves? How can he have so many arms to beat you with, if he does not borrow them from you? The feet that trample down your cities, where does he get them if they are not your own? What could he do to you if you yourselves...

Oh to Be Like Joan | The Girl Jo
https://thegirljo.wordpress.com/2012/07/02/oh-to-be-like-joan
Oh to Be Like Joan. July 2, 2012. There are days, and then there are. 8230;those moments in time that may or may not be a literal span of 24 hours, but no matter how they are measured, they are never long enough. For me, they are. When I feel the presence of Holy Spirit in an almost tangible way, like He has his arm around me, leaning in to whisper a secret that He wants only me to hear. I had one of those. And the moment is somehow diminished. All I can convey is that it was an awakening. What was it ab...

I’ve Said It Before, I’ll Say It Again | The Girl Jo
https://thegirljo.wordpress.com/2012/11/16/ive-said-it-before-ill-say-it-again
I’ve Said It Before, I’ll Say It Again. November 16, 2012. Will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14). It is truly a shame that Yahweh’s Name is not very attractive to the Seeker-friendly church leader or member, because they fear their numbers would diminish. They shun anything that appears. After all, it is not relevant or. I figure that if I know His Name – He knows mine. You are commentin...
