100th post…. they grow up so fast.
So this idea, this post is a little old because it happened to me last year. But when I went back this year I was reminded of the incident. Let me set the scene.

Last week while I was at Hume lake I was sitting in worship, I was just sitting in silence inviting the Holy Spirit to just touch me, to move me. I then all of a sudden started weeping as I thought of a simple phrase. Sunday is coming.
I then asked God for some discernment on what that mean, I mean of course Sunday is coming, it is always. I then realized it. Friday is here, I thought of all the pain in the world, all the kids in the slavery, all the people starving, all the depression, all of what I hurt of, and I thought Friday is here. On Friday the day Christ died, the day seemed so dark, nothing seemed to go out right. The savior was dead. It was dark really dark, but Sunday is coming, the new day, the Resurrection of the Christ is coming, Friday does not have the final say because Sunday is coming.
So to all of you who are hurting, all of you who feel the pain in the world, Sunday is coming.
In Him,
JC

So about two weeks ago Stockton PD along with Caltrans posted eviction notices about illegal camping along Mormon slough. Here is where they got kicked out from
It pains me, why oh Stockton oh why? Why would you kick people out where are they supposed to go? The shelters are beat and overrun, the streets are dangerous, and with a city with one of the highest foreclosures and unemployment rate what do you expect? At least Sacramento is trying! But Stockton do you care? What are you doing to help those that are hurting. You do not even have to do anything, but don’t kick them out!Don’t make it illegal to be homeless, what are they supposed to do?
I suggested to my friends who live down there that we should camp in the park in brook side, see how the people in power feel when it comes home!
Also what about the port? Is there not enough room to have a tent city there? Stockton Shame on you, and shame on us.
I encourage you to contact the women who calls the shots counsel women Eggman. eggman_interns@yahoo.com tell her that you want Stockton to quit persecuting the homeless and open up a tent city.

What is Joy? Is joy different than happiness? If so how? Can you be joyful in prison.

I got sent this link to ask my opinion? From here
I really wonder why 44% of Christians think torture is ok 10% more than the national average. So let me understand this better…Christians think torture is ok more than most Americans? Haven’t you read the Bible, what happened to “return good for evil” “pray for those who persecute you” “Love you enemies” “do not return evil for evil” All of those are from scripture. How then if you believe scripture, can you justify torture?
I understand you might say they want to kill us, so we need to find out their next attack. You might say, “Torture has saved thousand of American Lives” But that is a very this for that statement. That is a very Kingdom of the world approach. We are as Christians supposed to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God, and as a part of that, we love everyone even terrorists, we don’t accept that they do, but Jesus died for them. We will show love…even to death.
What Kingdom will you be a part of?
In Him,
JC Elliott
