Life cycle of a Fuchsia bloom
In Revelations I read about Babylon that was once a city of great importance which represented all that was evil and her destruction that followed. Today Babylon ( in Iraq) still lay in ruins. Does this mean that this city will once again rise to prominence only to be destroyed again. One cult sect now hints the USA is the new Babylon.
Why does God allow evil? We don't know why. I think Billy Graham summed it up best in his book "Answers to life's problems". God did not create evil nor is he the cause. We should not blame Him. Man created evil in defiance to God.
There is a clarity to our vision when we completely forget ourselves and concentrate solely on the task before us in serving God.
Hearing God's voice is so difficult for many. It is only when we learn to listen for that still silent voice do we make the connection.
In this hurry up, at once results society, we need solitude. A time to reflect and do nothing, a time to invite Jesus into your solitude, and hear His voice.
Spiritual gifts are not for only the most holy but for all that desire them in edifying God's grace. However, if one uses them to glorify oneself, one is not doing a service to God but glorifying their selves. There is a name for those that do.
Are we grateful for Jesus miracles when they happen today? Do we stop and take a moment out of our busy schedule and say a prayer praising Jesus for His miracles in our lives. I read in the scriptures where Jesus healed 10 Lepers and only one came forward to give thanks. The one that did was a foreigner, the others failed to give Him thanks as Jesus noted to the apostles.
More to follow.

Love this one Larry: There is a clarity to our vision when we completely forget ourselves and concentrate solely on the task before us in serving God. I need to remember to take my eyes of myself. Loved your random thoughts again.
Thanks Bill. Got some more to post but will wait awhile.
