There is a difference in the Belief of Jesus and the Faith in Jesus. That is that A belief in Jesus is a lazy way of saying, "I know who he is." Well, having Faith means action must be present. Jesus never did a healing where a simple belief was requiered, but Faith all the way. There was a woman that believed that just by touching Jesus she would be healed, however, it took her action of getting though that crowd to grab a hold of Jesus' cloths in order to be healed. Then there was an instance where a Roman came up to Jesus and said to come with him because his son was sick and going to die, but Jesus said to go and his son would be healed and rather than forcing the issue, his faith that Jesus could heal his son by his word, he listened to Jesus and went back to hear the news his son would live. But the real dozzy is when the story is told about a flood. there was a flood and a man came to his friends place saying lets go, theres a flood comming and the man said, "no im waiting for God to save me." then the flood was up some and a man offered a hand to get him to a higher place, but the man refused and said, "im waiting on God to save me." so the water wet to his roof, and a man in a boat came up and asked if he needed to ride the man still turned him away saying, "im waiting on God to save me." so that man drowned and when he when to God he asked, "why didnt you save me?" God replied,"I sent you 3 people to save you and you denied them all." That My Friend is where believing gets you. So remember to not only believe in Christ, But PUT ALL FAITH IN WHAT HE CAN DO IF YOU TAKE ACTION TO MEET HIM 1/2 WAY!!!!!! much love and peace im out IMPACTPLAYER

As an old year comes to a close and a new year is just moments away people always start to change there habits, useally for the better. However, this holiday season, things are going to be different. People, though good, dirring this time also tend to get rude, impatiant, and discurtious in shopping. Much anticsipation is being built up, and high hopes of a deffinate change is comeing this new year; but is it a change for the better or worse? Though Christmas always seems to bring good cheer to a lot in the world, many times after the new year celebration is over, people fall right into the same things they were into before. If there goal for the year was to lose 15 lbs they end up tring for about a week only to give up and fall in the same ruteine they were in all thoughout the year before. There may not be anything we can do to fix our debt or worry about the econamy, but I say leave politics to the politics, and lets better ourselves as people. I think as a goal suggestion for this new year instead of trying do lose waite we should try to try. New years resolutions should include not only the gaol you set for yourself, but a goal to keep that goal. For example, last year I told myself I would finnish reading, cover to cover, the Book of Morman. Once again, like most people who set new years resolutions, I read Nephi 1 and 2 then gave up and started skiping around here and there. I think if we apply ourselves to our goals and put more effort in our work, we can successfully complete an enitre year with our goals being met, if not beaten. much love and peace im out, Impactplayer PS. I understand that some people have met goals they set for themselves, but these words are for insparation to thoughs that seem to fall short from meeting there goals. I happen to be one of them therefore I will continue to pray and endure the best I can. and if anyone eles feel they need extra prayer I can do and will do. Thanx i really wish i had spell check on this

&nb sp; The road was long and so I thought I'd stop and rest. no sooner did I lay my head down that a dream began to come to me. In the dream I was close to the end of the road, golden gates and rich flowing streams ly off in the distance. I know it was a dream by the way of a wild imagination. Never did I think at this roads end marked eternal bliss and everlasting happyness. &nb sp; After an hour I woke up and was crownded by the mobs of people attemting to make it on the long road home. People came with jackets and umbreallas, but the sun was shining bright without cold or wet forcasts in sight. There I stood, like that in a nice summer day, when from out of nowhere a gust of wind blew my hat away. &nb sp; I then realized I was not ready for this journey. The road was long and I was not aware of the obsticals I might find. Hardships after hardships harder it was to find, food for my journey, and a spot to sit and dine. The other people passed me and I could just let them walk by because i would hold them up if they dragged me on the side. The road was a long one indeed and I'm glad I tried to make it. Though I was ahead of the crowd, like the hare, lazyness struck me down. And then as I shot for the streach I reallised how unprepared i was to make it till the end. ~IMPACTPLAYER~

I wasn't forchanit enough to be born in the church. I had a life before I joined and for 22 out of the last 24 years of my life its been looking out for # 1 and that was me. I did things that made me laugh, I got into fights and I did a lot of things that most people that grew up in the church ever got near or touched. A big reason I am makeing this open is because I must get it off my chest. There is a reason a lot of converts do leave the church shortly after joining. Its because the adustments where too hard and they had nobady eles not even in there famaily suppoting them. I see it in my ward and the stake as a whole, but I stay because my testomony is so strong and the missionarys that come in are always helping me. GOD BLESS THEM because with out them I would be gone too. IMPACTPLAYER
I'm a convert and have been a memeber sence Nov. of 06. Before that time and even during there have been times where the struggle was hard, and overcomeing that was even harder, but it's when we find our way back that makes it worth while. This is my first blog thing ever doing, I usually write poerty, but this seems like fun. Basiclly the point I'm tring to make is the reason many I feel lose that way in the first place is "EVELUTION" people adappt to thier surroundings. The more I hung out with old friends the more I start to be like them, but the more I hung with missionaries and other church members the more I'm like them. So what say ye? lets keep it going. PS is there like a spell check I know not all there words are correct?
