Just make sure you know which “HIM” you’re following!!
1Peter 2:21
“To this you were called,
because Christ suffered for you,
leaving you an example,
that you should follow in HIS steps.”
Andre Rieu
conducts while playing the violin,
providing the beat with his bow and instrument
and by motions of the body,
virtually dancing the rhythm.
He actively attempts to involve the audience in the music.
Accordingly, audiences have responded with great enthusiasm!
Because God is watching over them!!
Psalm 91
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord,
“He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely He will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you say,
“The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For He will command His angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
“Because he loves me,”
says the Lord,
“I will rescue him;
I will protect him,
for he acknowledges My Name.
He will call on Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him My Salvation.”
Amen!
See how well He watches over us, too!!
Psalm 42
As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for You, my God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the Living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
My tears have been my food day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go to the house of God
under the protection of the Mighty One
with shouts of joy and praise
among the festive throng.
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember You
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep
in the roar of Your waterfalls;
all Your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
By day the Lord directs His love,
at night His song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.
I say to God my Rock,
“Why have You forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?”
My bones suffer mortal agony
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
Amen!

2 Corinthians 4:18
“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen,
since what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal.”
Everything else fades away
When You step on the scene
In my heart, take center stage
And I’ll follow Your lead
So let me step aside
And put Your Name in lights
Headline this life
All eyes on You
In everything I do
Everywhere I move
Let Your Love shine through
So all the world can see
You’ve taken over me
Let me be a reflection of Your Truth
And turn all eyes on You
You burn brighter than a million stars
And nothing can compare
So let me shadow who You are
Every second and everywhere
Yeah!
Can’t take my eyes off You
I was blind, but now I see
You gave it all, to set me free
So everyday ’til my time is gone
I’ll live my life, turning eyes on You
No matter where I am
No matter who I’m with
With everything I do, let it point to You
Amen!!
What a great prayer!
Philippians 3:12-14
“Not that I have already obtained all this,
or have already arrived at my goal,
but I press on
to take hold of that for which
Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brothers and sisters,
I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.
But one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind
and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on
toward the goal to win the prize
for which God has called me heavenward
in Christ Jesus.”
Lord, I am a mess
I am a wrecking ball
I must confess that I still don’t get it all
Lord, I believe that all Your Words are true
Doesn’t matter where I’m going if I’m going with You
I press on
I press on
I press on
When I still don’t get it
Life goes on
Life goes on
But…
Your love will prove
All I need
All I need
I will find in You
I press on
Even when I’m a mess
When I’m a wrecking ball
Doesn’t matter where I’m going if I’m going with You
I press on
Hosea 6:3
“Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge Him.”
Keep Going With Jesus!!!
Amen!
What does it look like in Heaven?
Is it peaceful?
Is it free like they say?
Is the sun shining brightly forever?
Have your fears and your pain gone away?
‘Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing,
Since you left
And here on earth everything is different,
There’s is an emptiness
Oh I, I hope you’re dancing in the sky
I hope you’re singing in the Angel’s choir
I hope the Angels, know what they have
I bet it’s so nice up in Heaven since you arrived
So tell me what, do you do up in Heaven?
Are your days filled with love and light?
Is there music?
Is there art and invention?
Tell me are you happy?
Are you more alive?
Yes!!
Philippians 3:20-21
“But our citizenship is in Heaven.
And we eagerly await a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ,
Who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control,
will transform our lowly bodies
so that they will be like His Glorious Body.”
Amen!

Mother’s Day is May 11th
Go!
Love on a Mother!!
Amen!
Proverbs 31:28
“Her children arise and call her blessed…”
Proverbs 1:8-9
“…and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
They are a garland to grace your head
and a chain to adorn your neck.”
Kelley Mooney’s approved spiritual lyrical adaptation of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”
Be Blessed on this Resurrection Day!!
A crown of thorns placed on His head
He knew that He would soon be dead
He said did You forget Me Father, did You?
They nailed Him to a wooden cross
Soon all the world would feel the loss
Of Christ the King before His Hallelujah
Hallelujah
He hung His head and prepared to die
Then lifted His face up to the sky
Said I am coming home now Father to You
A reed which held His final sip
Was gently lifted to His lips
He drank His last and gave His soul to glory
Hallelujah
The soldier who had used his sword
To pierce the body of our Lord
Said truly this is Jesus Christ our Savior
He looked with fear upon his sword
Then turned to face his Christ and Lord
Fell to his knees crying Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Took from His head the thorny crown
And wrapped Him in a linen gown
And laid Him down to rest inside the tomb
The holes in His hands, His feet and side
Now in our hearts we know He died
To save us from ourselves, Oh, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Three days went by, again they came
To move the stone, to bless the slain
With oil and spice anointing, Hallelujah
But as they went to move the stone
They saw that they were not alone
But Jesus Christ has risen, Hallelujah
Hallelujah!
Amen!

Life in my cubicle is discreet, Life in my cubicle is neat
I’ve got some pictures of my friends
Some sharpened pencils…where’s my pen
Ten O’clock I’m in a meeting
Paper cut I think I’m bleeding
Check my hair it’s still receding, Hey what a life
Break for lunch, there’s nothing better
Run outside and don my sweater
Like Fred Rogers let’s be neighbors
I’ve lost my mind
I’m over worked, and underpaid, and non appreciated
It’s just a perk of being of being middle class and educated
One… spinning circles in my chair
Two…win a game of solitaire
Three… And I ponder where my stapler’s gone
Four O’clock and I stare at the door,
And I stare at my watch, Then I stare at the door
I stand by my desk like I’m going to war
There’s just one thing I’ll be needing
Grab my paycheck as I’m leaving
Oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhh
Five O’clock it’s time to go
There’s crowds to fight and time to blow
It’s talking fast on my cell phone
Hey, watch out that’s reckless driving!
Five O’clock
It’s time to hit the couch and watch TV
Set the clock and go to sleep
It’s 8 a.m. on Monday morning
Again and again and again and again and again
Driving around, no where to go
And so I hang with my lady,
Oh, and chill with my bros
It’s okay, in my Cabriolet
[CHORUS]
When I meet God, I will have a question
I just forgot the question
I think I am running just to catch myself

I am driving
I am late for work
Spilling coffee
Down my whitest shirt
While I’m flossing
And I’m changing lanes
Oh, Yeah
Now I’m driving
Through the parking lot
Doing eighty
Hey, what the heck, why not
Watch it lady
‘Cause you’re in my spot
Once again
It’s early to work
And here’s a surprise
I got a McMuffin for just 99 cents today
I think they ran a special
I can’t stand still
Can I get a witness
Can you hear me
Anybody, anybody
I think I am running just to catch myself
Maybe someday I could fly away
Go to Key Largo or Montego Bay
Sport my speedo, maybe grab a tan
A dream vacation, wild elation
Now I’m running
Straight into my boss
And he’s angry
Oh, and he calls me Ross
Which is funny
‘Cause that ain’t my name
And that’s lame
I’m still running
Running very late
For a meeting
Wait, that was yesterday
Guess I’m early for the one next week
Oh, how sweet
I get on the ladder
I corporately climb
I wave at my life as it passes me by every day
My name’s not Ross
Life in my cubicle is discreet
Life in my cubicle is neat
I’ve got some pictures of my friends
Some sharpened pencils
Where’s my pen
Ten O’clock, I’m in a meeting
Paper cut, I think I’m bleeding
Check my hair, it’s still receding
Hey, what a life
Break for lunch
There’s nothing better
Run outside and don my sweater
Like Fred Rogers let’s be neighbors
I’ve lost my mind
I’m overworked
And underpaid
And non-appreciated
It’s just a perk of being
Middle class
And educated
One… spinning circles in my chair
Two…win a game of solitaire
Three… and I ponder where my stapler’s gone
Four o’clock and I stare at the door
And I stare at my watch
Then I stare at the door
I stand by my desk like I’m going to war
There’s just one thing I’ll be needing
Grab my paycheck as I’m leaving
Oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
It’s five o’clock
It’s time to go
There’s crowds to fight
And horns to blow
It’s talking fast on my cell phone
Hey, watch out, that’s reckless driving
Five o’clock
It’s time to leave
To hit the couch
And watch TV
Set the clock and go to sleep
It’s 8 am on Monday morning
Again and again and again and again and again
Driving around
Nowhere to go
And so I hang with my lady, oh
And chill with my bro’s
It’s okay, in my Cabriolet
I can’t stand still

Can you hear me
Anybody, anybody
I think I am running just to catch myself
When I meet God
I will have a question
I just forgot my question
I think I am running just to catch myself
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Whew!!!!
I’m exhausted!!
Thank you, Lord for this weekend to relax and recover!!
Amen!
Psalm 19:14
“May these words of my mouth
and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in Your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
Jesus,
You are my Redeemer
You have paid the price
You have delivered us from bondage
You have set things right!
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
Well, I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives
The very same God
That spins things in orbit
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I’m broken
They conquered death to bring me victory
Now I know, my Redeemer lives
He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives
Forever I’ll proclaim
That the payment for my sins
Was the precious life He gave
And now He’s alive and
There’s an empty grave!
I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know
He lives
My Redeemer lives
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
He lives
I know, I know
He lives
I spoke with Him this morning!
He lives
The tomb is empty
He Lives!
I’m going to tell everybody!!
Job 38
Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said…
“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
…Who shut up the sea behind doors…when I said,
‘This far you may come and no farther”…
…Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place,
…Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
…Have the gates of death been shown to you?
Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness?
Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know all this.
…Can you raise your voice to the clouds
and cover yourself with a flood of water?
Do you send the lightning bolts on their way?
Do they report to you,
‘Here we are’?
…Who provides food for the raven
when its young cry out to God
and wander about for lack of food?”
Job 19:25
“I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that in the end He will stand on the earth.”
Amen!
Tell everyone!!
