Monday night we arrived and we played Uno after supper. Tuesday we went to Hy-Vee, ate at Wahlburger and then went to square dancing.  After that we came home and watched our shows. Now it's Wednesday and we will be heading to Rochester to do things. I need to go to Chiropractor, Walmart, coffee shop, then St. Charles for my mani. Most of this week we have basically been having a normal lifestyle type thing. Going to the store, playing card games etc. Today, Saturday, we are going to Cottage Grove to see Michaella and everyone else.  Sunday we went to both churches. Then we had lunch with church people at the Eyota Cafe which is now called Blue Collar cafe.  Then we just relaxed all afternoon.  It's time for Phil and I to go home now. 11-27-23 Fresh post from my home: DROPS Tamara Chaos YouTube channel Link: https://bit.ly/3MmBAyX Tamara Chaos is an Ordained Minister /Coffee Lover/Singer/Former Martial Artist/Actress Ne...

Into the light, not darkness

Image
No, not quite. Going into darkness is not going to help you find your light. Being dragged into darkness will be dangerous. You can't make it out alone. Dedicating your life to God is how you escape the darkness and in Jesus' name, you will shine his glory.  Into Marvelous Light Fresh post from my home: DROPS Tamara Chaos YouTube channel Link: https://bit.ly/3MmBAyX Tamara Chaos is an Ordained Minister /Coffee Lover/Singer/Former Martial Artist/Actress New Episode every Friday at 7 pm EST DROPS is an American weekly show talking about different topics of the Bible. 2023 is the beginning of the first season.

matthew warns about preparing for the final war

Image
Draw nigh to the Lord, end times are coming soon.  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭107:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [1] Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. [2] Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies. This morning I was reading Matthew 24 and man, is it ever packed with good stuff. We must be prepared for the final https://tamarachaos.blogspot.com/2023/11/matthew-warns-about-preparing-for-final.html  wedding feast. We wouldn't want to arrive and have to be turned away because we didn't take the time to prepare.  Can you imagine showing up to a wedding unprepared? We must do what we can now to study the scriptures and really get to know the character of God. We need to be like Christ, not the world. That means, we must be WELCOMING. Don't be like the haughty religious leaders, walking all around in their rabbi attire and loving being put on a pedestal.  Or act like your way at understanding the scrip...

becoming strong in the faith

Image
As one studies more and more, the stronger in the faith one gets. I'm not telling you that I have reached that goal, but part of me feels like I am making progress. For the past few months, I have really been dialing into the Bible. I have been reading and studying, but I think what's really making the difference is listening to many hours of church services. I feel like I am getting more and more knowledge and it is building my innate biblical discernment and awareness.  Photo Credit One night, I really felt like a dark cloud was passing over a young couple who used to attend our church. I prayed and it went away. I am not saying there was anything to that. It is possible that it was merely my imagination, but I believe it was important to believe it. I reached out to the young couple and told them that I prayed for them. No response, but I expected that. It is becoming a common practice for people to not acknowledge texts anymore. Becoming a warrior for Christ is ...

1 Thess. 15-22

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:15-22‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [15] See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people. [17] Never stop praying.  [19] Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. [20] Do not scoff at prophecies, [21] but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. [22] Stay away from every kind of evil.

Psalms 23:6

Image

don't act your age

Image
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [1] About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” [2] Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [3] Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. [4] So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. I think one advantage kids have over adults is that they have a inexperienced life. As adults, we have experienced so much more pain, disbelief and disappointment than kids have. Because of this, we require more proof than kids do before we believe.  Jesus wants us to believe by faith only. Over time, proof will be revealed to us.  Jesus in the scriptures following encourages those who are more experienced to guide new believers. It's not necessarily adults guiding kids.. Yes, it's more common...

stranger support

Image
Update: Since the time this post was released, things at church changed a bit.  It's very interesting to me that we get more support from people who don't really know us, be it online only or meeting for the first time, then we do from people who do know us in person. They show the care and support that is often found in the Latter Day Saints religion.  Photo Credit The Bible talks about this. It says that those closest to you will betray you first. I imagine that Jesus knew that people who are strangers are most likely to be supportive.  ‭‭ Luke‬ ‭21:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [12] “But before all this occurs, there will be a time of great persecution. You will be dragged into synagogues and prisons, and you will stand trial before kings and governors because you are my followers. [14] So don’t worry in advance about how to answer the charges against you, [15] for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute yo...

in the darkness I sit

Image
‭‭Micah‬ ‭7:6‭-‬8‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [6] For the son despises his father. The daughter defies her mother. The daughter-in-law defies her mother-in-law. Your enemies are right in your own household! [7] As for me, I look to the Lord for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me. [8] Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. https://tamarachaos.blogspot.com/2023/11/in-darkness-i-sit.html This last part of this verse reminds me of my new song that is coming out Thanksgiving 2023. The part of the lyrics that say,  When you're walking through the dark, a path so dark it's hard to see where you're going, always falling, always stumbling.  Life seems so hopeless, like an arrow without a way, never know, when the arrow, will strike a target.  But there is one who knows, there is one who cares, there is one who will light, your path, he's the one who died ...

sushi time in matthew 14

Image
https://tamarachaos.blogspot.com/2023/11/sushi-time-in-matthew-14.html Jesus heard the news of John the Baptist being beheaded and went on a boat to be alone in a remote place. But it didn't quite work out because the people found out where he was and flocked from different towns to see him.  ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14:13‭-‬14‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [13] As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns. [14] Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14:19‭-‬20‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [19] Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people. [20] They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers. Hol...

Sorry, no scripture sharing today. I have a cold.

Image
I did read Matthew 12 and 13, but it was hard to focus, so I will need to read Matthew 13 again.  What I did read though, I thought was pretty amazing. Jesus healed on the Sabbath and the Pharisees tried to accuse Jesus of breaking the rules of the Sabbath. Matthew 13 talks about the parable of the farmer scattering seed and the large crowd that gathered to hear Jesus teach. So many people came that Jesus went on a boat and taught from there.  Fresh post from my home: DROPS Tamara Chaos YouTube channel Link: https://bit.ly/3MmBAyX Tamara Chaos is an Ordained Minister /Coffee Lover/Singer/Former Martial Artist/Actress New Episode every Friday at 7 pm EST DROPS is an American weekly show talking about different topics of the Bible. 2023 is the beginning of the first season.

matthew 11:16-19 when the wolves accuse

‭‭ Photo Credit Matthew‬ ‭11:16‭-‬19‬ ‭NLT‬‬ https://tamarachaos.blogspot.com/2023/11/matthew-1116-19-when-wolves-accuse.html [16] “To what can I compare this generation? It is like children playing a game in the public square. They complain to their friends, [17] ‘We played wedding songs, and you didn’t dance, so we played funeral songs, and you didn’t mourn.’ [18] For John didn’t spend his time eating and drinking, and you say, ‘He’s possessed by a demon.’  [19] The Son of Man, on the other hand, feasts and drinks, and you say, ‘He’s a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and other sinners!’ But wisdom is shown to be right by its results.” [ 28] Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Yes,...

Proverbs 10:16-19

Image
What are you investing in? If you are investing in the one true God and his servant Jesus Christ, then you must accept https://tamarachaos.blogspot.com/2023/11/proverbs-1016-19.html Link to this post  discipline. Discipline means doing everything possible to not only live and act like Christ, but learn like Christ too. We can't be more like Christ if we don't take the time to learn about him. Study the scriptures. Matthew 5-10 is a great place to start.  Look at the character of Jesus. Caring, healer, servant, delegator and inspirational. He sparked people to want to be more like Him. He didn't come to the towns and say, I am the Almighty King, worship me! No, he gave people a choice. He came to people in love. He came with the attitude of serving. Who can you serve today? Maybe it's your job.  Show the customers and employers the attitude of Christ. Show the attitude of Christ EVERYWHERE by NOT complaining and not being bitter. Being bitter doesn't help...

So much faith! Matthew 8:8

Image
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [8] But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. Can you imagine having this much faith? This reminds me of the woman who was determined  to at least touch the hem of Jesus' robe because she knew if she did, she could be healed.  Link to this post! ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9:20‭-‬21‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [20] Just then a woman who had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding came up behind him. She touched the fringe of his robe, [21] for she thought, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” Having faith in Jesus is one of the most important aspects of Christianity. So many people treat their Christian faith like it's an activity on Sunday that they do, and then they go back to their everyday life and for some, it would be hard to see that they even go to church. Being a Christian means a full commitment every day of the week. We need Jesus...

Matthew 3:11-12 Wheat Vs. Chaff

Image
What do you choose?  In the past I would always think about this verse as being non Christians vs. Christians, but now I'm realizing more and more than it can mean even among Christians.  Photo Credit ‭‭ Matthew‬ ‭3:11‭-‬12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [11] “I baptize with water those who repent of their sins and turn to God. But someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not worthy even to be his slave and carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. [12] He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.” There are many Christians who are developing their own version of the gospel. Churches are popping up and they flocking to these churches that are twisting the scriptures for their own agenda. The Bible is very clear-you are either for God AND his teachings or you are a...

November 4th Veteran's Day parade

Fresh post from my home: This year I helped with the Veteran's Day parade as I do every year.  I was so excited that this year I got to hold the Army flag.

Matthew 2:1-2

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭2:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [1] Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, [2] “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.” Photo Credit Imagine having this much faith. I don't know anyone else I would rather follow than Jesus. Jesus is just so amazing. He loves everyone despite their backgrounds. He is merciful, caring and powerful. Look at what He is capable of. Strong as a lion, yet gentle as a lamb.

‭‭Malachi‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [1] “Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. Photo Credit ‭‭Malachi‬ ‭4:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [1] The Lord of Heaven’s Armies says, “The day of judgment is coming, burning like a furnace. On that day the arrogant and the wicked will be burned up like straw. They will be consumed—roots, branches, and all. [2] “But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.

Friends must support each other

Image
You know what I love? Sisters and brothers supporting each other like this man who was paralyzed. He wanted so much to be healed by Jesus but because there were so many people wanting to see Jesus, he couldn't, plus, he was paralyzed. His friends carried him to the place, made a hole in the roof, and lowered him right in front of the speaker, who was Jesus. It was impossible for Jesus not see this person that needed to be healed. Jesus healed this man because his friends loved him so much that they wanted to help. That is how we are supposed to be.  But too many times it just doesn't work out. Sometimes people will ask for help, but they don't get the help. I read a post just the other day that said don't show what you're going through on the outside or something like that. I thought to myself, there's so many things wrong with that. We're supposed to be able to express what we're going through so that people can carry us through, but too oft...

Daniel 11: 3-12

‭Daniel‬ ‭11:3‭-‬12‬ ‭NLT‬ [3] “Then a mighty king will rise to power who will rule with great authority and accomplish everything he sets out to do. [4] But at the height of his power, his kingdom will be broken apart and divided into four parts. It will not be ruled by the king’s descendants, nor will the kingdom hold the authority it once had. For his empire will be uprooted and given to others. [5] “The king of the south will increase in power, but one of his own officials will become more powerful than he and will rule his kingdom with great strength. [6] “Some years later an alliance will be formed between the king of the north and the king of the south. The daughter of the king of the south will be given in marriage to the king of the north to secure the alliance, but she will lose her influence over him, and so will her father. She will be abandoned along with her supporters. [7] But when one of her relatives becomes king of the south, he will raise an army and enter the fortr...

[24]  “But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching (‘deeper truths,’ as they call them—depths of Satan, actually).

‭Zechariah‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭NLT‬ [1] This message concerning the fate of Israel came from the Lord: “This message is from the Lord, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the human spirit.  How awesome is this passage? Who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the human spirit. That to me, takes us back to creation days. What a miracle God did when he created the world. He created a place for us to spend our earthly days before he brings us to the kingdom he is preparing for us. I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty awesome. We are only here temporarily. We are only residents on earth temporarily. If you are a child of God, if you have given your life completely to the Lord, then you have a dual citizenship!
