It blew up in a billowing plume of what started out as white smoke turning to the black smoke of death.</h1><h1 style="text-align:left;">Pretty much everyone even 13 years later can remember as though it just happened yesterday the horror, disbelief, confusion, and death that came 9/11.

There are termites here, and they love to eat on wood, and other soft objects. In order to keep the termites away, I decided to paint the 2x4s which will be used on the base. One of these boards is quite badly warped, and at first I almost opted out of using it. But I got to thinking, once there is weight from the shed on top of it, it will eventually straighten itself out.</p><p>I'd like to use this illustration in comparison to our human frailties. Often times we go off on a tangent, we lose perspective, we get side tracked, and before we know it, we become lost in cyberspace, and totally forget what the project was we were working on to begin with, thus we become warped, and we don't have anything to share to bring someone hope.</p><p>This morning, I'd like to bring a couple texts to mind, that will help keep us and our minds from getting warped. The first one is found in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=proverbs+16%3A3&version=GNT" target="_blank">Proverbs 16:3</a> Which in essence says that when we commit our plans and decisions to the Lord, He will bless us and show us the way. This text is one of my favorites, and I try to keep it foremost in my mind every day, and it's found in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+26%3A3&version=TLB" target="_blank">Isaiah 26:3</a> and this one says that when we keep our eyes focused on Jesus, He will give us perfect peace in our hearts, because we know we can trust in Him because of the sacrifice He made for us.</p><p>Have a Blessed Day,</p><p>-James</p></div>IS GOD AT STARBUCKS?https://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/is-god-at-starbucks2014-02-03T21:51:54.000Z2014-02-03T21:51:54.000ZSandy Blomstromhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/SandyBlomstrom<div><p><b>IS GOD AT STARBUCKS<span class="font-size-4">?</span></b></p> <p><span class="font-size-4"> </span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4">I heard an interesting and very touching story in Church today that I would like to share with you.</span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4"> </span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4">One of the my friends said that last week she couldn’t take her eyes off a Starbucks cup that someone had left next to the keyboard during the Service.</span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4"> <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3818722713,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3818722713,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="189" alt="3818722713?profile=original" /></a></span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4">She kept feeling this tug at her to go get a cup of coffee at Starbucks.</span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4"> </span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4">So after the Church Service, she headed over to the local Starbucks to get that cup of coffee.</span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4"> </span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4">As she pulled out of the parking lot, she saw an older man standing by the road.</span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4"> </span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4">Overcoming her great reluctance to talk to a stranger, she asked him if he were cold and would like a cup of coffee.</span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4"> </span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4">He stared at her blankly and said, “I’m lost!”</span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4"> </span></p> <p><span class="font-size-4">She said, “Well you look cold.
