Today is April Fools day and I got my oldest
daughter with a good one. I called her at about 6:00 a.m. before she was good
and awake and I told her in a very excited voice “Zarria – They are letting me
out of prison this morning! Can you come get me?” She said, “What, you’re getting
out?” Now I know that was a dirty trick to play but my kids all expect things
like that from their daddy. If I didn’t pick with them they would think I’m not
o.k. I sure have fun doing it.
I
wonder what went through Zarria’s mind that morning? Would she be ready to come
get me? Would she have to cancel some plans? Work, maybe school, or her
Jane-Fonda work out? Maybe Ace, her doggy, would have to miss his morning run.
(Just in case you all are wondering what my reaction was…I jumped out of bed at
6:00 a.m. from a dead sleep when he told me he was getting out. I was elated at
the thought of a road trip to pick up my dad! I didn’t even think about the
other things I had planned for that day. My husband heard me say “What, you’re
getting out!” and started stirring around in bed to start our trek to Cameron
Missouri. I heard him snickering quietly on the other end of the line and then
came the “April Fools!” I was slightly irritated that he could be so mean…then
I remembered it’s my dad, when does he not take advantage of an opportunity to
play a dirty trick.)
Revelation
22:6-7, 12-14 – “And he (angel) said to me (John), ‘These words are trustworthy
and true, and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets has sent and
angel to show his servants what must soon take place. And behold I am coming
soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book
(Bible). Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay
each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the
last, the beginning and the end. Blessed are the ones who wash their robes
(clean up your life) so that they may have the right to the tree of life and
they may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers
(witchcraft- meth cooks- Satanist) and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters,
and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.’” Angela, Zarria, Nick,
Savanah, Faith, Hunter, Mia, Family, Friends, anybody? Will you be ready if
this takes place in 2 minutes? Or will you hope and pray that when you get the
news someone also says “April fools”? I doubt we get that chance! Be ready! Get
on your knees right now and get that way!

Prayer: Father
God, thank you for sending your son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. I pray
Father, that we spend every day preparing for that and are all ready when that
time comes. Please pray with me that no one gets caught unprepared and all are
ready for the day when you come home. In Jesus name, Amen
Thoughts: In the Bible,
we see a lot about sorcery and the end of times. What is sorcery? The mixing of
potions; mixing of metals; the making of a weapon of mass destruction. I’ve
cooked meth and been around it for a while and that is exactly what it is –
sorcery – evil, a deadly weapon that Satan uses to kill us! So next time
someone asks “Do you want to get high?” think about sipping on the witches
brew! Would you? Do you want your kids around some evil like that? The next
time you put poison in your body, think about your innocent children in the
next room watching or playing alone and what you are doing to them. Jesus
saves! And that’s no April Fools.
Something to think on:
How many children of this world are affected by a parent who is addicted or
suffers from some depression due to their poor choices and the effects that Satan’s
weapons of mass destruction have on a family? Millions! Are you a part of that
statistic? I am. I have been and I stand against it from this day forward. No
longer will I put my innocent children’s lives in a position of neglect or lack
of attention or take from their tables food or from their hearts joy because I
am getting high or want to be a part of or involve myself in participating in
the mass destruction of the lives of families across America who just want to
be loved. It turns my stomach to think that I have contributed to the
destruction of an innocent life. How many little boys and girls wander around
the house in dirty diapers, hungry, lonely, and needing attention and love
because their parents are locked in a room getting high or sleeping it off? I
don’t know but God doesn’t like it! He’s very clear that we are to “love the
little ones in our life and not to harm a hair on their head.” If you buy,
sell, or use the weapons of mass destruction that Satan put on this earth for
us to entertain ourselves with, you are slowly killing our children’s future!
Love you all,
Cody
