Comfort All The Mourning Ones: My Review: Tried to write so more than one can enjoy!!

#1) Jesus said that his food is to do the will of the one that sent him and to finish his work. He considered part of that work a God-given assignment to display his great love for people. The apostle Paul noted that love when he said that "Jehovah" was the "God of all comfort."
#2,3) We should imitate Christ by giving others comfort because the Bible says many would be sufferring the trials and tribulations that come with living in this world. 2 Timothy 3:2-4,13
#4)World conditions in our time sometimes worsen instead of getting better so it makes sense to teach that the Father of the lie is Satan and that the world that follows that would be considered Babylon the Great..although more than one religion is allowed the right to serve God.
#5) Now the prophecy about the preaching work is being fulfilled because the work that is looked over by Jesus and his angels is ever expanding into new territories and preserving the Earth from distraught inhumanities such as war and terrorism.
#6) The scope of our preaching activity inspires many others to serve God in their lives and saves many people from committing suicide or homicide because we are there to bring them comfort.
#7) Everyday that God does not end the Earth he is waiting for one more person to be drawn toward him to serve him and do the will that he has provisioned for mankind.
It "Is possible" for us to endure persecution and tribulation because eventually Jehovah will bring justice to all those that persecute, judge, and harm others. They will be stuck with their final judgment during judgment day with the Resurrection with the righteouss and unrighteouss.
Fear of him is a mighty thing and the day mankind turns he can devour the Earth with fire or ice. Much like that of being foretold in Revelation fire. However in Psalms it talks about melting down hardened ones with the ice and snow. ~And also the manna is what the Israelites survived off of. "If he provides for the birds of the heavens would he not likewise provide for your soul?"
#8) Scriptural evidence of comfort being brought about by God is stated in Revelation.."He will be with the tent of mankind, and he will wipe every tear from their eye and death nor mourning nor outcry will be anymore. The former things have passed away."
#9)Learning about Jesus teaches us that he can help us cope by setting the example of how he led his life and the fact that he also said that he could refresh us because it was doing the will of his Father.
#10,11) In the congregation, a place of trust needs to be created and we should be helpful in being a listening ear about one another's problems and we should offer helpful advice and look objectively at the situation to see how we can improve it for the better of the congregation to create an environment where we all can serve together in "unity."
#12) It is vital for me to attend our Christian meetings because that is where I am built up in my faith and brotherhood with others and I am not victimized by the world as much because of the love of the brothers and sisters. I become refreshed with my spirituality.
#13,14) The scriptures can be of great benefit to us in helping us cope with our daily problems because they offer comfort and bring justice to light about the worse things of the world. And yet we can still Love the World the same way "God or Jehovah loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son."
#15,16)We can help comfort one another by shopping for the elderly or sick, helping others with their chores, or showing personal interest in being a helpful listening ear. Sometimes each of us need a friend to talk to.
#17,18) As God's servants we can be sure that God can support and comfort us because he says so in the Bible in Isaiah 51:12 "I-I myself am the One that is comforting you people." He told worshippers of ancient times this and will likewise do this for his servants today!!

And lastly, the ending paragraph states 2 Thessalonians 2:16,17: "May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word."

Review of Maria Sutton's "The Night Sky: A Journey From Dachau to Denver and Back"

A heart wrenching story that touched my life was that of one by Maria Sutton in which her Mother's life story began of a separation from her family that began in a displaced persons or internment camp in Germany, left her on the Breitner farm with her first love Jozef, pregnant and deserted with her first two children, Krystyna and Maria and married and on her way to America with her new husband in whom she struggled to learn to love after several hardships everyday in which she was in Germany during the Haulocaust when WWI and WWII took place. An amazing tale of life stories, Maria's stepfather loved and took care of them everyday and many times Maria's Mother told her stories about her life beginning in Poland and being separated from her family, her brother Wasyl, and encamped in Germany with Jozef and on the Breitzner farm. I am so inspired to see her tale of courage of wanting to find her family's generation's worth of life stories. It's so amazing to see that they were Catholic and many thought they were Jewish and that it wasn't a certain religion that had gotten persecuted. Looking objectively I realize my religion had as well. So it was especially important to me to see that Maria learned the hardships and joys of life through her Mother's stories and the atrocities of WWI and WWII through her search for her biological father. I believe the story has taught me to respect all avenues of life and to look objectively at history and not repeat its mistakes. I especially liked how a wise history teach once taught me that "History" is "His" and "Her" story. It's amazing and heart-warming to see that in the end after 43 years of searching for her Father she became like a sister to her biological step-sister and embraced many strangers and traveled through her search of trying to understand her own life and her and her Mother's past. I especially enjoyed when Maria flew 1400 miles with her Mother to meet Wasyl her Brother. It's amazing to see how life's tragedies and joys make us a mix of who we are and that we are all retentiously the different but the same. We are equal, and even after all these years generations have proved their courage to live the American dream in having a good place for their family and earning a living and providing for them. It was amazing to see such courage and I want to thank Maria for her writing of the book, "The Night Sky," which taught me that the Haulocaust was a tragedy for all of mankind and truly showed the truth about how the atrocities of war had changed the lives of many innocent people. No matter who we are may we each have the will to live and change the world with the way we live and not die..This story proves that each of us no matter what part of the world can live our life with a legacy..not to terrorize when we are mad about an injustice that has been done to us but to truly choose kindness and peace for the well-being of mankind. Just think, if we all were to have to relive the atrocities of the war of the Haulocaust which was a detriment to mankind. Please..always live your life with legacy and earn what you have in life heroically like many others and especially that of Maria's stepfather who choosed to take what happened with him and live a better life because of it. He wanted a brighter life for him, Julia and Krystyna and Maria. May you always have the will to live ...and thank you Maria Sutton for these writings which shed much light on those times!

A Hope For A Brighter Future

I've been thinking lately..I want to say thanks world for helping me to get to the point of graduation. I recited my poem today, did poorly on a test in American Lit bc I didn't study very hard and was householder for a talk at the hall. I just wanted to say thanks for what you have taught me. Very rarely do I forget people. I recited a poem by Robert Herrick called, "To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time." I had so much fun. I started blabbering about Beyonce and being worried about Kim and totally got out of the questions except for the one where he asked me if the poem was telling us to have sex. I think I remember being really dumb all of a sudden and then he told me somebody was pregnant and smiled and I looked at him and smiled and said that's weeeiiiiiiirdd and I was acquitted of the trial..bahahahaha! I've been spending time doing my homework, and spending time with Brad and his friends. I always am obsessed with Unfaithful by Rihanna because I can relate it to my life. I've been informally witnessing about the Truth. I am pretty excited because all my classes are going good so far. I love Criminal Justice and Gen. Biology!! I think my fave is Biology because Nicole and Erin are in there. Nicole cuddled up on the chair and talked the other day and it always reminds me of Sarah and I. I think I am a fan of Nicole. She's sucha corker!! Haha, anyhow, I think Mr. Dixon probably laughed at me because I was mad that I had another test and I threw a fit and punched one of the boys I had my previous class with in the arm. I coulda been a "Broken-hearted girl" but I wasn't. Got new dvd with videos of Beyonce and my fave 2 are "If I Were A Boy," and "Diva" haha I keep having stuck in my head the part that has such attitude and sings.. "Diva is a female version of a hussler, ..of a hussler.." I especially like when she lights the car on fire. I watched Unfaithful & What's My Name by Rehanna again. In Bio Dixon cut my piggy's heart out so he could show me the bronchial tubes on the fetal pig and I safely tucked it back in when we went over the heart and tucked it back in when we put them away. I'm fond of so many people this semester. I love Criminal Justice because of what I've been learning in there..and I always get to hear about boy stories and cars or something. Quite fun! I have so many favorite friends this semester that I don't wanna leave! However, I am ready for the classes to be over and I'm ready to graduate!!! I'm so enthused about a couple of other things going on in life too. I want to write a review on a book that I'm reading on here if I can because I think I will really like it. I really like the author too. I wanna play guitar and need for speeed!! Oh and yes, I was running from Brad at Wal-mart and sat with him and his friends again at McD's! Jeremy called and I started acting like a monkey in the car, oh and I talk myself in and out of everything I've ever gotten myself into!! I think I'm going to continue my career in Dental Hygiene after this. I've met so many special people over the course of this semester and you know who you are!! I'm also impressed with my poetry teacher now and I'm thrilled about my participation. I just wanna marry all the best men in the world sometimes and keep all the best girls as my friends. And..and I love to play matchmaker!!!
