Spiritual Circumcision: “Cutting away everything from life, but the will of God.” - John MacArthur
Monday, August 15, 2011
Waiting for the Lord in a season of darkness should not be a time of inactivity. We should do what we can do. And doing is often God’s appointed remedy for despair.
John Piper

Great Quote!
only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do.
Expect unexpected things, 'above all that we ask or think.' Each
time, before you Intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His
glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the
prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege
in Christ, and expect great things!" - Andrew Murray

Verse.....Thought ....Quote
Written by Yuliya Kononova, age 17
The average person in the world today, without faith and without God and without hope, is engaged in a desperate personal search throughout his lifetime. He does not really know where he has been. He does not really know what he is doing here and now. He does not know where he is going. The sad commentary is that he is doing it all on borrowed time and borrowed money and borrowed strength; and he already knows that in the end he will surely die! Man, made more like God than any other creature, has become less like God than any other creature. Created to reflect the glory of God, he has retreated sullenly into his cave; reflecting only his own sinfulness. Certainly it is a tragedy above all tragedies in this world that man, made with a soul to worship and praise and sing to God's glory, now sulks silently in his cave.

Spiritual Emotions
Spiritual emotions result in Christian practice because their object is the loveliness of spiritual things, not our self-interest. People have a defective Christianity because they are seeking their own interests in it, not God’s. So they accept Christianity only to the extent that they think it serves their interests. By contrast, a person who accepts it for its own excellent and lovely nature, accepts everything which has that nature.
Jonathan Edwards

Sunday Reflections 6-12
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Texas Storm Season and Info
Definition: Tornado -- 1. A violently rotating column of air, in contact with the ground, either pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud, and often (but not always) visible as a funnel cloud.
Compared with other States, Texas ranks number 1 for frequency of Tornadoes, 1 for number of deaths, 1 for injuries and 1 for cost of damages. Based on data from 1950 - 1995. Between 1950 and 1995 the state had 7,554 injuries involving tornadoes. This ranks the state number 1 among the States for injury.
Tornados are rated by severity and wind speed using the Fujita scale of F0-F5:
F-1: (73 - 112mph) - Moderate Damage - Roof surfaces are peeled off, windows are broken, some tree trunks are snapped, unanchored manufactured homes are over-turned, attached garages may be destroyed. This house experienced partial roof removal, only on the windward (near) side; therefore, this damage site was rated F1.
The primary tornado season in Texas is from March through June, but tornados can occur in any month of the year.Tornados often form in the southwest part of thunderstorms - next to the part of the storm where heavy rain or hail is falling.
Opening windows will NOT equalize pressure and prevent an explosion of the house if hit by a tornado.
Tornados are not the only weather killers in Texas: Lightning, tornados and high winds take an average of 15 lives each year in Texas alone. 51 people died as a direct result of tornados in the US in 2003.
The latest 4 large killer tornados in Texas:
- May 27, 1997: A twister hits Jarrell in Central Texas, killing 30. Two other deaths from other storms are confirmed in nearby Travis County.
- May 22, 1987: A tornado hits the small West Texas town of Saragosa during a kindergarten graduation ceremony, flattening the community center and church, killing 30 people and injuring more than 100.
- April 10, 1979: Forty-two people are killed and more than 1,700 injured by a tornado in Wichita Falls. More than 3,000 homes are destroyed and 20,000 people left homeless.
- May 11, 1953: A tornado hits Waco, killing 114 people and injuring 597. An estimated 150 homes and 185 other buildings are destroyed.
The word tornado comes from two Spanish words: tronado meaning thunderstorm and tornar meaning to turn.
On the average, a tornado's path is 4 miles long and 400 yards wide but can be as long as 100 miles long and a mile wide
The average tornado travels at a speed of 25-40 miles per hour, but tornadoes have been known to reach speeds up to 70 mph. Winds inside a tornado can swirl at close to 300 mph. They stay on the ground for an average of 4-5 minutes, but they can touch down several times.
Most tornados:
- move from southwest to northeast
- rotate in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere
- occur between 3 and 7 P.M.
- are reported to occur most often in the United States
