Many people know what they ought to do, but do the opposite anyway...according to James 4:17, What do you think?

Let's look at James 4:16-

Otherwise you are boasting about your own pretentious plans, and all such boasting is evil.
James 4:16 NLT

We are to only boast about what the Lord has done, not what we have done. Let's look at 15: 
What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.”
James 4:15 NLT
Everything we do should be for the glory of God, and the glory of God only.

A soldier is better being protected vs. being unprotected. One thing I really enjoy is going to the gym. I love to exercise. Now, in order to get the benefits of the gym, I need to go there in person. I can read tons of books and magazines teaching about how to build muscle and tone up, and that's good for head knowledge, but for physical benefit, I have to go to the gym.  The same I believe can be applied to the Bible. We can study and gain all kinds of knowledge, but unless we apply it, it's useless.  More coming next Friday Sept. 8th, 2023 on YouTube.  New song coming Thanksgiving 2023!  Let's connect:  Facebook: www.facebook.com/TamaraChaos Instagram: www.instagram.com/TamaraChaos MEWE : Tamara Chaos  Blog: https://tamaraChaos.blogspot.com

This is how I feel sometimes. I talk, I write, I sing, is anyone listening? I show my exercise, do I inspire anyone?

Not emojis!  Emojis hardly convey anything. Sure, I love emojis as much as the next person, but words have SO much more meaning.  People go on and on, if you're feeling lonely or need help, reach out. What good is this if no one answers? Know what that feels like? Rejection. Yes, Christians aren't supposed to feel rejected, oh wait, I'm sorry, that's only me, I'm not allowed. I'm not allowed to express anger or hurt feelings, because the person didn't intend to do that, so, I shouldn't feel that way.

Tamara received a notification in the mail that she was going to have to report for jury duty. But turns out that that is not necessary anymore because the parties have decided not to have a trial. So that is good news in a way.  Today is the dragon boat race. This is something that Phil and I really enjoy. We were going to go to the opening ceremony last night, but due to the rain, it was canceled. There is another ceremony this morning before the dragon boat races commence.  You can view the playlist here:  Dragon Boat Races #dragonboatraces #fortwayne #dragonboat Dragon Boat Races 2022 According to the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation, Dragon Boat Racing is a sport meant to combine Chinese tradition with competition, team building and fun. Dragon Boats are 46 feet long, have 20 paddlers, 1 drummer, and 1 steersman and are decorated with bright colors, dragon scales and a dragon head and tail. It seems like last year it was canceled altogether- so it'll be really, really...
