<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></b>
<b><u style="color: magenta;">Read -</u> James 1:2-16</b><br />
<b><u>2</u></b> Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.<br />
<u><b>4 </b></u>Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.<br />
<b><u>5</u></b> If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.<br />
<b><u>6 </u></b>But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.<br />
<b><u>7</u></b> That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.<br />
<u><b>8</b> </u>Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.<br />
<b><u>9</u></b> Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.<br />
<b><u>10 </u></b>But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower.<br />
<u><b>11 </b></u>For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.<br />
<b><u>12 </u></b>Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.<br />
<b><u>13 </u></b>When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;<br />
<b><u>14 </u></b>but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.<br />
<b><u>15 </u></b>Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.<br />
<b><u>16 </u></b>Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;"><u>Think -</u></span></b> Why is the Word of God such a polarizing book?<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;"><u>Pray -</u></span></b> Pray for those that risk exposure and dire consequences for merely sharing the Word of God: that they would be shielded by a hedge of protection<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;"><u>Act - </u></span></b>Share your favorite Bible verse today on Twitter and Facebook with a comment about the blessing of being able to freely share Scripture in our culture.<br />

<b><span style="color: purple;">Think - </span></b>Why did the psalmist write so often about persecution and the Lord’s provision in the midst of suffering?<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: purple;">Pray - </span></b>Pray for the fruitful work of the Christians in Senegal: that they would continue to help their countrymen turn from worshiping false gods and the occult, and to submit to the one true Lord of Lords.<br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: #274e13;">32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. 37 They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated-- 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. 39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. 40 God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.</i></span></div>

<div>

<div>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Read - </span>Psalm 103:12</div>
<div>
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Think - </span>Why does the Lord assure us repeatedly that if we accept His grace our sins are completely forgiven?</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Pray - </span>Pray for those that formerly persecuted Christians and have now accepted the redeeming gift of Christ’s grace: that they may live in freedom, knowing their sins have been forgiven.</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Act - </span>In pencil, write down the sins that Satan keeps reminding you of, even though you have already been forgiven. Reject this lie and picture in your mind what it means for you to be as white as snow in our Father’s eyes. Erase your list just like the Lord has erased your sin.</div>

<b><i>9</i> </b><i>Brothers and sisters, I know that you remember how hard we worked. We worked night and day to support ourselves, so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we did the work of telling you God’s Good News.</i><br />

<b><i>13 </i></b><i>Also, we always thank God because of the way you accepted his message. You heard it and accepted it as God’s message, not our own. And it really is God’s message.

<i><b>4 </b>but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, <b>5 </b>beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; <b>6 </b>by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love; <b>7 </b>by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; <b>8 </b>through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise.

<i><b>22</b> You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. <b>23 </b>When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another.

One of the things it said to do was to post the bible study on your blog. So I will be posting the the bible study every day.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: magenta;">Here is day 1 <u>Middle East</u>:</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1) <span style="color: magenta;">Read - </span>John 15:19-21</b><b> </b><br />
<i><b>19</b> If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. <b>20 </b>Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. <b>21 </b>But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.</i><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2) <span style="color: magenta;">Think about -</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"> </span>How does persecution for the name of Jesus differ from other types of persecution?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3) <span style="color: magenta;">Pray -</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"> </span>pray that wherever a pastor is facing persecution, he will feel Gods presence surrounding him with love.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4) <span style="color: magenta;">Act - </span>share this bible reading plan with your family and ask them if they will spend two weeks pray for the persecuted churches with you.</b><br />

Right now we're in the middle of training each other to barrel race ( I show her how to run around the barrels she shows me how to ride around the barrels) :-)<br />

I've had lots of goals for this winter two of them were:</div>

<b>Ride bareback</b> (she hated bareback and would have a tantrum if I tried)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b> Neck Reigning </b>(neck raing is riding with one hand and when the left reign touches their neck<b> </b>they turn right and vice-versa)</div>

<b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">She just showed up one day sleeping with our other cat. She stayed even thow we did not feed her. Mom and dad gave her to Hannah for Hannah's birthday. Then for a couple months she left coming back only a couple of times. later we found out she was always near by just waiting for us to call her home. It took a wile to show her we wanted her to stay with us. But once she realized we wanted her to stay with us she never left except to hunt.</span></span></b><br />

We got him in MN while dad was at a snowmobile show after we had looked at him online. We had been looking for a 2nd dog because Samson is so old. We had been checking the shelter in our town daily but all the cute ones or the puppy's were snatched up before we could even go see them.Then we started looking on craigslist we found him and he didn't need a fence unlike most of the shelter dogs. Then dad picked him up on his way home from the show.<br />
