Love - Two sides to the story????

Isn't it just crazy how men and women perceive love differently? 

Women feel love when their man only has eyes for them, when he tells them they are beautiful, and goes out of his way for her.
Men feel love when their lady respects him, appreciates him, desires him and lets him know how important he is to her.

I noticed that a negative cycle can happen if we aren't careful. This could be with any friendship/relationship that you have with anyone. You want to feel all of those things from the other person and if you don't, then you in turn don't give him/her the things they want to feel.

A positive cycle can ALSO happen and that is two people loving and giving so much of each other that life is grand!

Most of the time in relationships, people tend to become selfish and only want to give if they are given to. However, these things that we call "love" are good BUT is that really love?

YES! There ARE two sides to the story...it's not male or female. Husband or wife, mother and child or even best friends, ...it is in 1 Corinthians 13.

Love is not a feeling or emotion but we seem to base how we feel on how much love we give. But God tells us that 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. And this is ONLY the beginning. 

Did you see where it says NOTHING about "if my husband will show me that I am the most important person to him, I will love him?" No! It tells you to love him EVEN IF he DOESN'T show you that your the most important person.

I challenge you to stick with the 1st side of the story..1 Corinthians 13! It will cause you nothing else but more peace, more joy, more contentment, more everything than you've ever wanted.......and the GREATEST of these is LOVE!!!

Football Games and the United States of America

I was at a football game recently and it was so exciting seeing all the fans dressed up in their favorite gear to cheer on their team.  Outside the stadium were tailgaters grilling up their best barbeque and playing games to pass the time away. After all, it was 5 hours till the gates opened. Funny how fast time flies when you keep yourself busy doing things that you love. Once the doors were open, fans would walk a ways to even make it to the stadium. But that's okay because everyone was excited and ready for the big game. It was enjoyable seeing some fans with some wild get-ups. They certainly go all out for the game! Fans were packing in the huge stadium, everyone was wearing the same colors, however, only a few that decided to try to pack in the same stadium, took their chances and put on their team colors and were there to support their "the other" team. It's very interesting listening to the people around you. They yell at the referee's most...

Let's play CATCH up!!!

It's been quite awhile since I've been on blog spot and posted.I'm not certain why it has taken so long. Life is just busy and it doesn't seem to let up any.  Since last year, SCIH has been holding its own, working on videos and posting on Facebook and Twitter. Soon to be adding to the TO DO list will be more praying and seeking God in direction. The only way to be going in the right direction is to be doing what God has said to do. AND I can honestly say, there is one thing that I need to be obedient in and I have failed to do that. I'm not certain why...maybe because of the "strange" thing that it is...? But God knows the outcome of situations and we just have to TRUST HIM...that is all He asks of us. TO TRUST and BE OBEDIENT! And so I do know that THIS certain thing needs to be done in order for anything else to happen. So, He's probably just waiting on me! ;) And I am waiting on...????? I don't know but I best get after it! So, this past ...

WARNING SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Have you noticed that Christian people are a little "shady" of how they feel and what they believe? Have you noticed how "Hollywood" has thrown "shady" scenes in movies, television shows, etc? It happens so much that we are start conforming to it and don't even think it's a big deal anymore. Everyone is doing it and we get so use to seeing it that we don't make a big fuss over it and almost giving our approval of it, because we continue to watch it.   I mean after all, we DO give time to watching our favorite television shows...and wouldn't miss them for the world!!! Let's dig a little deeper at some of our favorite shows. My husband and I like to watch "The Killing"! (And yes, I'm preaching to myself)! So, why in the world would I want to watch a killing show? The name in itself explains what it's all about. Someone dies and they have to solve the murder of who did it. Well, it's a little intense and dr...
