|  | You scored as William Wallace. The great Scottish warrior William Wallace led his people against their English oppressors in a campaign that won independence for Scotland and immortalized him in the hearts of his countrymen. With his warrior's heart, tactician's mind, and poet's soul, Wallace was a brilliant leader. He just wanted to live a simple life on his farm, but he gave it up to help his country in its time of need.

| We
pray that you'll have the strength to
stick it out over the long haul--not the grim strength of gritting your
teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the
unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us
strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he
has for us. -Colossians 1:11-12
Strength and Honor

| ...on the power of the small thoughts
Today Pastor Chilly preached a
message called "Mind over Matter" dealing with the subject of loving
God with all of our MIND! (Mark 12:30) By the way everyone can download
this message on podcast from itunes. Everyone can and SHOULD! The
name of the podcast is called realcast. But anyway, I thought that I
would share what anyone who knows me already knows, but i think
alot! There is times when i will disappear from conversations
going on around me and drift off into some theological or philisophical
conversation with my self. Yes I know this may be hard to believe but
it is true! haha! But today as I was reading something by G.K.
Chesterton I came across an article about thoughtless thoughts and
remarks. He compared thoughtless thoughts or thoughtless remarks to
flies. After all they are not very big and usually not even a comment
or thought that we believe, they can be insignificant and even
subconscious. I often hear people say, "My mind was just wandering,
sorry." Whether it is a statement we make or a passing thought it must
be dealt with To win the war of the mind. We are called to
fix our thoughts on what is TRUE, HONORABLE, RIGHT, PURE, LOVELY,
ADMIRABLE, EXCELLENT, and WORTHY OF PRAISE. (Phil 4:6-8) These thoughts
or comments can be lies that we entertain or repeat, or even just
response to feelings inside of us. But the bible says that we will give
an account for every idle word. As Pastor Chilly preached I was again
reminded that the fight for the mind is not over and that I must
continually be fighting off thoughtlessness and the wandering of my
mind. So without further adeu, Chesterton paints a picture of the power
of flippant thoughts or remarks.
...That is the problem that I find practically pestering
us on every side to-day, and that is what I mean by comparing the buzz
of dull flippancy to the screaming of gnats or flies. It is all concerned
with the same paradox, with what may be called the omnipresence of the
insignificant. A fly is a small thing, but flies can be a very big thing.
In some tropical countries, I am told, they can appear like great clouds
on the remote horizon or vast thunderstorms filling the whole sky. The
plague of locusts which afflicts many lands is something much more destructive
than the passage of a pack of wolves or the ruin wrought by a stampede
of wild bulls or wild elephants. So the seemingly insignificant individual
irritation produced by these insignificant individual perversities may
be, in its cumulative effect, more corrupting to a whole culture than
the great heresies that have been hardened and hammered into a certain
intellectual solidity. The spirit of anarchy does not work only by monsters.
Even the sages and visionaries of the East have seen a spiritual significance
in the fact that even almost invisible insects can be a plague or carry
a pestilence; and the ancient name of Beelzebub has the meaning of the
Lord of the Flies. -G.K. Chesterton
23but I see in my members another law
waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law
of sin that dwells in my members. 24Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25Thanks
be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the
law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
(Romans 7:23-25)
Only one sword pierces the mind!
