His art work

are you to BUSY?

I read this at Sharon's blog.
This is sort like a reminder for me.

NEXT TIME BEFORE YOU SAY 'BUSY' THINK.
SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy. Very well written.)

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said,
'We can't keep people from going to pray.'

'We can't keep them from reading their holy
books and knowing the truth.'

'We can't even keep them from forming an
intimate relationship with their GOD.'

'Once they gain that connection with GOD, our
power over them is broken.'

'So let them go to their prayers; let them have
their covered dish dinners,

BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to
develop a relationship with GOD...'

'This is what I want you to do,' said the devil:

'Distract them from gaining hold of their GOD and
maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!'

'How shall we do this?' his demons shouted.

'Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and
invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds,' he answered.

'Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow.'

'Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours
and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week,
10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles.'

'Keep them from spending time with their children.'
'As their families fragment, soon, their homes
will offer no escape from the pressures of work!'

'Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot
hear that still, small voice.'

'Entice them to play the radio or cassette player
whenever they drive.'

To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly
in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant
in the world plays non-biblical music constantly.'

'This will jam their minds and break that union with God.'

'Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers.'

'Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day.'

'Invade their driving moments with billboards.'

'Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order
catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and
promotional offering free products, services and false hopes..'

'Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines
and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty
is what's important, and they'll become
dissatisfied with their wives. '

'Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands
at night.'

'Give them headaches too!'

'If they don't give their husbands the love
they need, they will begin to look elsewhere.'
'That will fragment their families quickly!'

'Give them distractions to distract them from
teaching their children the real meaning of life.'

'Even in their recreation, let them be excessive.'

'Have them return from their recreation exhausted.'

'Keep them too busy to go out in nature and
reflect on God's creation.

Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays,
concerts, and movies instead.'

'Keep them busy, busy, busy!'

'And when they meet for spiritual fellowship,
involve them in gossip and small talk so that they
leave with troubled consciences.'

'Crowd their lives with so many good causes they
have no time to seek power from GOD.'

'Soon they will be working in their own strength,
sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause.'

'It will work!'
'It will work!'

It was quite a plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing
people everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.

Having little time for their God or their families.

Having no time to tell others about the power of GOD to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?

You be the judge!!!!!

Does 'BUSY' mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?

THE FARM HAND WHO COULD SLEEP THROUGH ANYTHING

There once was a farmer looking for a your man to help out at the farm. There were several young men who interviewed for the job and as far as the farmer could tell they were about equally well qualified. He then went and asked them each one final question...Tell me, he would say, Why should I hire you above the others?”

Of all of the applicants and their replies, there was one that was really different. One young man said...”because I can sleep through anything.” At first the farmer thought it was just strange, then the more he thought the more he was intrigued and mystified by the response. So he figured, well I will give this young man a chance and he hired him.

Weeks went by and the farmer was pretty happy with the young mans work. He still wondered sometimes what the young man had meant by his strange reply, but he never got around to it. Then one night he was awakened in the middle of night got a phone call from neighbor. There’s a big storm suddenly coming in with lots of wind, maybe a tornado. Better get ready for it,” was the quick message.

Indeed as the farmer went and looked out the door he found that the wind was strong and rising and rain had started. He quickly ran and tried to wake the young man up to start getting everything ready for the blow...but try as he might, the young man couldn’t be stirred. Muttering to himself about what a stupid thing he had done in hiring a lazy boy who wouldn’t wake up when he really needed him...the farmer went out to the frarm

He went out to tie down the hay...but discovered that the hay was already tied down securely. Next he went to the barn and the corrals...and every time he looked, everything had already been prepared. After a while of just wandering around the farm, of discovering that there was nothing that needed to be done at the last minute...because it had all been done before, the farmer returned to the house, but instead of muttering, he actually found himself singing the praises of this young man. He had realized, to his great joy, that the reason that the young man could sleep through anything was because before he went to bed each and every night he had already prepared for the very worst. And so the farmer followed the example of the young man, since everything was already prepared, he undressed and was soon fast asleep, with a huge smile of peace on his face.

Moral of the story...

It is better to be overly prepared than under prepared, you get more sleep that way.
