Upon Reflection: They're Rugby Boys, Don't You Know? by Natalie Vellacott
http://uponreflectionblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/theyre-rugby-boys-dont-you-know-theyre.html
They're Rugby Boys, Don't You Know? They're Rugby Boys, Don't You Know? My rating: 5 of 5 stars. True story of a woman on a mission to help street boys in the Philippines. I really liked this book. I love how God works in so many people is so many different ways to reach the lost souls in this ugly world. I think the most striking thing about the rugby boys is how invisible they were to most people. That made me cry. View all my reviews. Posted by Gina Burgess. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Refreshment in Refuge: God and His Glorious Ways
http://refreshmentrefuge.blogspot.com/2006/11/glorious-god-and-his-ways.html
God and His Glorious Ways. Psalm 131:1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. L ORD. My heart is not haughty, Nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, Nor with things too profound for me. Big as ours; who pulverizes our problems with a mere breath between His lips. Psalm 128:1 A Song of degrees. Blessed is everyone who fears Jehovah, who walks in His ways. Psalm 128:2 For you shall surely eat the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and all is well with you. We live in a very imperfec...

Refreshment in Refuge: Power Surges...
http://refreshmentrefuge.blogspot.com/2015/05/power-surges.html
I ran across a column I wrote for the Picayune Item several years ago. It ignited a chuckle again because it was so true back then. and is still somewhat true for me today. I thought this menopause thing would be over with in a few years until I met a seventy-five year old woman who said she still had hot flashes! The superintendent said it was strange but men had different thermostats than women did and they were usually cold and men were usually hot. A fifty-year-old woman can be standing in front of a...

Refreshment in Refuge: Pokadotted Grace
http://refreshmentrefuge.blogspot.com/2015/04/pokadotted-grace.html
8220;Now concerning Spiritual Gifts, brethren, I would not. Have you ignorant.”. The meaning of the word translated “ignorant” is to be misinformed, unlearned, or unaware. Do you believe that you have an enemy who desires to keep you ignorant? If you don't, then perhaps you should do a word study in the Bible concerning the devil, Satan, and Lucifer. Jesus says he is out to kill, steal, and destroy. On the other hand, God has a specific plan to help us resist the devil and all his minions. Your motivatio...

Refreshment in Refuge: Loving pleasure or loving to please?
http://refreshmentrefuge.blogspot.com/2014/04/loving-pleasure.html
Loving pleasure or loving to please? There are certain things that just naturally give pleasure. We derive pleasure from what others do for us, and from what we do for others there is a certain pleasure that comes from altruism, certainly. As Margaret pointed out below one may say pleasure and another say "joy." Defining the term pleasure God says:. The one who loves pleasure will become a poor man; whoever loves wine and oil will not get rich. I think pursuit of pleasure as a motivation. And bear witnes...

Refreshment in Refuge: Homosexual marriages a right?
http://refreshmentrefuge.blogspot.com/2015/06/homosexual-marriages-right.html
Homosexual marriages a right? Sounds rather like an oxymoron to me since God never recognized homosexuality as right, but as an abomination in His eyes. The Supreme Court justice Anthony Kennedy put the scales down on the side of homosexual "rights" in the ruling about homosexual marriage. Strangely enough, it seems the reason for him siding with homosexuals is because of children. Without the recognition, stability and predictability marriage offers. Here is the biological fact that cannot be denied....

30 THINGS I LEARNED LIVIN IN Louisiana. DISCLAIMER: This is a reprint! It just seemed like the day for remembering my days in Louisiana… But, then all this holds true for Mississippi, too. We Southerners are just plain folk who like a good time and a little tea with our sugar :D. 1) A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road. 2) There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in Louisiana . 3) There are 10,000 types of spiders, and all 10,000 of them live in Louisiana . 20) Yo...

Refreshment in Refuge: Soreness of the Soul
http://refreshmentrefuge.blogspot.com/2015/04/soreness-of-soul.html
Soreness of the Soul. Do you ever get a sore soul? I mean a soreness like a sore tooth in your spirit. The feeling just washes through, leaving a feeling of dread or bleakness. I usually get this feeling when something bad is going to happen. This feeling could develop because the Holy Spirit is grieved for you. God speaks to believers in many different ways. When friends and/or fellow believers speak out or do things to harm you, a child of the living God, that deeply grieves the Holy Spirit. And Satan ...

Upon Reflection: August 2015
http://uponreflectionblog.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
By J R. Stewart. My rating: 2 of 5 stars. Advance copy via NetGalley. pub date Nov. 10. 2015.). I do love science fiction and this promised to be good. Well, it has a great deal of potential to be really good, but the actual delivery is not quite there, yet. If this story had some really good editing, it would be excellent. Without the editing, it falls flat and does not fulfill all the description promises. It isn't typos, it is story flow that has a major problem. I realize this story may have great im...
