This week, a devastating EF-5 tornado touched down in Moore, OK, while school was still in session, inflicting a direct hit on Plaza Towers Elementary School. At least 9 students are confirmed dead. A few are still missing. The overall death toll is 24 in the wake of this storm, and will possibly go up. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin has appealed for assistance and prayer.

Six months ago, we were horrified to learn that a school shooter killed 20 students at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT. Since then, we've been gripped in a political battle regarding gun control. You wouldn't think that any politics could erupt over an unpreventable disaster like a tornado, but they have -- and in less than a matter of hours after the storm occurred. More Here...

The Armor of God. The Word of God gives us the necessary instructions for warfare as well as informs us with the weapons and tools that are useful. Paul gives us the primary list of weapons available to us in Ephesians 6. If we learn to adorn ourselves with the spiritual armor provided, success will be ours. The spiritual armor is necessary if one is to learn the Art of Warfare. However, possessing weapons and armor without understanding them is useless. We shall now examine the armor given to Christians for victory in spiritual warfare. More Here...

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:24
This was after Jesus's exchange with the rich young ruler whom He told to sell all his possessions. Some have tried to suggest that this proverbial "eye of a needle" was a small door in the city gate. If a merchant or traveler arrived after the gates were closed, they would have to take all the stuff of their camel, and the camel would have to crawl through the gate door on its knees.

This picture of a camel on its knees was supposedly the way the rich man had to be in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. He had to take all of his stuff off, so to speak, and enter through the narrow gate (Matt. 7:13). But there is no evidence that any such "eye of a needle" existed, in form or reference. Jesus was contrasting the largest living thing in Jerusalem, a camel, with the smallest opening, the eye of a needle. More Here...

If we look closely how the media portrays love, we see that the media makes it seem like finding love or keeping love is the one thing that can make a person happy. While some may say, "Oh, boy, she's over analyzing the media," it is true. I think this is where most men and women think they must have someone in life to be happy, mainly because of the warm fuzzy thoughts the media has put in our heads. But while this may give us hope and encouragement in finding love, it can give us disappointment if we don't find the right person right away. We may think our lives are empty because of it.

On another note, maybe love can fill an empty space, because even in The Bible it says that God said that Adam should not be alone so He made Eve to be his partner. Maybe there is a purpose or a destiny that man and woman should mate. So can love fill an empty part of a persons soul? The answer is yes, and no. More Here...
