Answered Prayers

By Jean 11 Comments

prayer-handsWe have access to our Creator God 24/7, because of the cross. Before Christ, only the high priest could go into the most sacred place once a year. This holiday is still observed and is called Yam Kipper. It’s the holiest day of the year for the Jewish people.

In Christ, we can lift up our prayers and petitions to God any time, and any day. In fact, it says in Scripture that we are seated in the heavenly places with Christ! (Eph 2:6)

I remember talking about God with one of my guitar students a number of years ago. He told me he used to be a Christian. When asked, he said that he didn’t read the Bible and that he did not pray. He said prayer doesn’t work anyway.

The Missing Datebook

For about an hour I told him answered prayer after answered prayer and he then confessed that he actually had an answered prayer story too. He had been visiting his mom in Bakersfield and when he returned his datebook was missing. He called his mother who told him it wasn’t there.

For several days he looked all through his car and also through his apartment. It was lost!

His mother had a prayer group on Thursday Nights and during the meeting she called him. She told him that God had just told them his datebook was on the back seat of his car. He insisted that it couldn’t be in his car because he had thoroughly looked in his car and had even taken everything out of it. His mom said to just take another look now. He went to his car and was shocked to see his datebook in plain view on the backseat. [Read more…]

A Worship Song – My Lord

By Jean 2 Comments

This is one of the first worship songs I wrote. The movie below was taped for a Christian Cable Show years ago called ‘The Lou Lollio Show.’ Lou is featured in our Worship Guitar Class Volume Two program. He and Jeanne have been dear friends for many years. Jeanne just gave me a DVD of the show we had taped and I thought I would share it with you. I believe this was the 2nd worship song that I wrote.

 

 

This was originally aired on cable TV and I’m not sure why some of the video is a bit shaky.

How To Avoid Heart Attacks

By Jean 3 Comments

How To Avoid A Heart AttackTwo young men in our church had heart attacks this year. Both were caught completely by surprise. I saw one of them at my health club last Tuesday and discovered that he had a major heart attack at the club, after I left. Brian just got out of the hospital yesterday, after staying there 1 week. Another good friend from church needed stents last year and has completely changed his diet. All three friends now have stents in their arteries.

I asked them to share any insights they had for how to avoid a heart attack and what life changes they would be making. I know that some heart attacks can be genetic but I believe most can be avoided. Why not make changes now and not have a heart attack in the first place. These are the things that they wanted me to share with you:

  1.  If you smoke – QUIT. Even casual smoking can damage your heart. [Read more…]

Inexpensive Christmas Gift Ideas

Gifts for Christmas

Christmas Gift Ideas

The basket in this picture was a gift filled with pomegranates from a friend’s tree and a present I received this year. The fruits are from Costco since the original fruits were consumed earlier this year. It was a great gift that I so enjoyed and were picked off her tree.

I’ve posted a Christmas Newsletter Video with other ideas like this that can help you save on your Christmas budget. Another idea in the video is to take plant cuttings to make inexpensive plants for friends and family. Pothos is a particularly hardy plant that is easy for just about anyone to grow. You do need to water it, but it’s quite forgiving if you forget from time to time.

We also have some discounts going for this month that are announced in the short video. Music is a wonderful gift to give friends and family. We have kids worship guitar lessons for the little ones and of course our main Christian guitar lessons too. We have quite a few programs now. Including Christian lessons for piano/keyboard, percussion, voice and even a praise violin book.

For me, the main reason of this season is to celebrate the day God stepped down to earth and was born as a baby named Jesus. What an amazing world He has made! Even in the diversity of the foods we eat. For example, the pomegranate. What an unusual hard to open fruit filled with tiny seeds bursting with flavor and color. We have much to be grateful for!
