ARRRGGG!

While on vacation this week I'm engaging in all manner of evil...among which is listening to the Hugh Hewitt show. Hugh's show can be very educational...and even a wee bit entertaining, on occasion. I'm in need of a good laugh this week...and stumbled across one.

Now for those of you not in the know...September 19th was International Talk Like a Pirate Day. About the only pirate word I know is "Arrrggg". Now that's a darn good word. And I'm most likely to utter that word in on Monday...as the week quickly spirals out of control by 9 AM.

But to celebrate the day...I just had to find out my pirate name...Susan Bunts translates into Wench Grainne O'Malley in Piratease. Not only am I ready for next year's celebration...but I am well equipped to ride Pirates of the Caribbean.

So watch out...next time I utter the word "Arrrggg"...you don't know what other ill mannered pirate behavior I might have adopted.

Be sure to click on the link for FroggyNet...to find our your true pirate name. Get to know the real you.

Arrrggg!

My Colors Will Be Clear

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight seeing, smooth knees, color-less dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, "chinchy" giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need position, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my destination is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of the One that gave me life, drew the line in blood for me in the hour of my destiny.

I am one of Christ's remnant people. I belong to Him and none other. All I do to bring this life to another is done because of that blood covenant poured out for me.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. I must share will all that one more might hear and be drawn from the flaming darkness that longs to consume. Reach for another, touch but one more!

Until that moment...He will have no problem in recognizing me- my colors will be clear!!!

Not only are the words inspiring but so is the man behind them. The above letter was written by a Pastor in Africa who was undergoing severe persecution. On the eve of his execution he sat down and wrote the above note.
