The small little bird.

There once was a little bird, her name was Andrew. Yes Andrew was a boy's name, but this bird had not yet understood the difference between right and wrong. One day her grandmother came to her in a dream, for she was already dead, and said "Little flyer you have so many choices in life, you are a young bird what are you going to do with your life?" Andrew had a dream, she wanted to fly, but she never told anybody about her dream so she lied to her grandmother and said she would be a servant bird, a messenger just like her father. Her grandmothers tears filled up with joy, "Oh Andrew! You will be so happy in your new life, your father will be proud and you will make an honest man out of your husband!" Then Andrew woke up. She began to cry because the last thing she wanted to be like was her father. He was a cruel man, and never believed in Andrews dream to want to fly. He would say, "You are a small little bird, with small little wings and all the other birds outside will eat you up." But one day Andrew flew.

The day was her sisters birthday. She was turning nine and it was a horrible day in Andrews community. The ox had plowed the field, and in the mist of doing so he died. The whole community was in morning, for the ox was the smartest animal they knew. But Andrew didn't think that he was very smart at all, and even though he felt sorry for the community there was something bigger on Andrews mind. Her wings has grown and she felt strong, and even though everyone was at the funeral of Sammy the ox, Andrew has made herself to the top of a very large hill, but she was very tired. Just then her brother appeared to her in a dream. Her brother was one of Westborough's greatest flyer's. He said "Andrew your name has been changed, and when you are week you are strong." Then he flew away. Andrew looked down, there was a card at her feet. She picked it up it read "Andrew was your old name, your new name is brave hearted." Andrew heard a commotion at the bottom of the hill. And before she could say 'go' she was flying all around the sky, she was so high that nobody could see her, except for her brother who flew right up to meet her in the sky.

They flew for hours and hours right through the sunset, and when they came back down there was a basket for Andrew at the bottom of the hill. "Andrew, this is your cousin Mark. I heard you got your wings and I was wondering if you would like to fly with me one day?" Andrew replied, "My name is Brave Hearted and where brave hearted flies, so shall Mark!" And she lifted her wings and flew off into the sunset.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

  Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.  1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

My Story.

  In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer.   I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long.  I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

  The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
