Good Son-Day!!!


Sun Over Fun & Moon Over Minny



Know Your True Source






The pictures above speak to the issues we are all seeing with grocery stores, big box stores, auto dealerships, property tax bills, childcare, and utility bills.  Who would have thought egg prices would double ($6 for dozen eggs) in a mere two weeks due a bird flu.  Even cat milk is negatively impacted.  The cat milk prices you see above skyrocketed from $9.99 to $31.41 in a few hours.

Inflation (sustained price increase) is not a new economic phenomenon.  It is something we have little control over and requires more research and discipline as you shop.  Inflation occurred during biblical times.  For example, when the Aramians laid siege to Samaria, the capital of the Northern Kingdom, the Israelites experienced extreme inflation. The siege led to a lack of goods and inflation. 

Per 2 Kings 6:2, the siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty pieces of silver (today's money---$9,400), and a cup of dove’s dung sold for five pieces of silver ($585 in today's money.)  Inflation was so bad that food and fuel were unaffordable—and people were eating donkey’s heads and burning dove’s droppings, if they could get them.

The richest of men in the world will allow people to go hungry, homeless and face hard times because they work on getting richer.  Never mind they have more money than they, their children, and children's children will ever spend. I am sure you've heard 5% of the richest control 90% of the wealth and control our leaders. What I am saying the most rich people are selfish.  The Bible speaks to this in Mark 10:17-30.  It does not appear there is much hope for those whose social-economics are not a part of the 5% club.

However, for you the believer, your economy is supernatural and it exceeds the wealth of man.

Philippians 4:19 My God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Your God is most generous.  Do not fret inflationary times.  Hold true to your faith and the Word of God.  He sees you and will meet your every need.

Somebody give Him some praise for what He did and is doing for you.  

This morning during the song service we sang, "Gratitude".  Here is a lyric excerpt from the song . . .
"Oh come on, my soul.  Oh, don't get shy on me.  Lift up your song, cause you've got a LION INSIDE THOSE LUNGS. Get up and praise the Lord!

The biggest fear is that the resurrection was not completeThe biggest lie is that this life is all that there isAnd so we live in a fear of not knowing that God's work is complete in usAnd the problem with not having confidence in the resurrectionIs that we don't know in the end if we will live againBut I want you to know that the pain you face is temporaryThe cancer you face is temporaryThe disease you face is just temporaryBecause every believer that's washed in the blood of the LambWill live to live againHow many of you know that this is not the end for the child of God?This is only just the appetizer for the main mealFor when we see Him, we shall be like HimWhen He cracks the sky, everything, every time, to see the Lamb of GodAnd we will be just like HimWill somebody say Hallelujah?

Here is Your Mother

It is a Good Son-Day Indeed Mother's Day Menagerie Here is Your Mother I am blessed in so many ways to be surrounded so many wonderful women who have brought into the world exceptional human beings.  Thank God every day for the mothers who have impacted my life.  I know when I need them they will be there for me and they know I will reciprocate. As I continue the epic saga of post-resurrection Christ I would be remissed if I did not include presence at the cross and the acession of Christ.  Typical mother, always there for an extraordinary and exceptional anointed Savior she birth into this world. Take care of the women who are your biological, step, assumed, spiritual, in-law, in-lieu of physical mother. Christ, Mary his mother, Christ's disciple, and Christ's charge to His disciple. John 19:25-27 25 Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw His mother standing there beside the di...

Live Roses

 Good Son-Day - The Start of  Something New Ice Creameisters! Live Roses The day after Christmas, I got a call from a former co-worker I had connected with for about a year or so. I started the conversation by asking about her grandchild and two daughters. I proceeded to ask her how her husband was doing and got an unexpected quick but poignant answer: "Oh, he's doing fine; we're getting a divorce."  Wait, what! This couple was married for 30-plus years.  The husband is retired. Nice home in the burbs,  Both children are college grads.  Empty nesters. The American Dream. What happened? I did not pry.  The only thing she offered was, "One day, I was sitting at the dining room table.  He sat directly across from me.  I looked at him.  I said to myself I can't do this anymore. I knew then I needed to file for a divorce."   The  news sent me for a spin.  At first, I thought he must have cheated, or he spent too much time at hi...

Only The Powerful

Take a Son-Day Drive on This Lovely Day Summer Vibes Laughter is Good for the Heart How Our Summer is Going Only The Powerful  The entire world classifies people into hierarchies based job, residence, earnings, assets, weight, athleticism, height, and color to name an obvious few.  If you do not have the right previous descriptors you can be deemed by society as less desirable, unworthy, or a write off. Recently, I sat in on a conversation with some employees outside one of our buildings.  The conversation turned to a Minneapolis suburb called "Blaine".  They talked about the vivid dichotomy between the impoverished trailer parks and the lavish homes in the new developments.  I then cringed when I heard them refer to the people residing in the trailer homes as "White Trailer Trash" and this was uttered by a person of the same color. I spoke up and said I was uncomfortable with the conversation and that ended it. Our Lord did not create a physical being...
