A Rumor about Me and Married!

You all will laugh at this crazy rumor and a crazy coincidence too! I am not upset, and I had to laugh too. I am so thankful to find this out and got that straighten out this afternoon. (I did post it on the facebook to correct the rumor that is going around.)

This is crazy! Apparently there has been a rumor going around telling people that I am married. A wonderful deaf friend texted me on my cell phone and asked me that question "Want to know if its true or not. Are u married?. My reply was "No I am not married." I did ask her "Who said that?". Then her reply was that "Smile. Someone saw ur name on phone book and said Harrell-Owens where u live".

Oh boy! It was the phone book! I never saw my name in the phone book in the first place. I did check that under Harrell then look under Harrell-Owens and didn't see it. Then I had to look under Owens-Harrell.

Yes, it is listed under Owens-Harrell. I am glad that she told me about this. This is so crazy! Owens is my middle name from my lovely grandmother's maiden name. No wonder why I never saw my name listed under Harrell!

I am thankful for wonderful friend to tell me this and to clear up the answer to that question. What a day is this! This is wonderful news to me instead bad and ugly rumor. Some rumors are hard to clear up.

I just got that corrected this afternoon at Time Warner with the phone bill to let them know and the phone book to prove that error to them. It should be correct in the next phone book.

I was very curious why someone would think to look under Owens instead of Harrell in the phone book. The only conclusion that I reach to was that they thought that I was married to Owens because I have been "dating" John Owen (without the "s") by reading his book a lot lately, and I have mention that times to times on the facebook of having a date with John Owen and his book. What a coincidence for that to happened! This is too crazy to think about this!

I had to laugh at this crazy coincidence! I love this kind of crazy rumor. At least, I do hope that my friends on the facebook will see the truth out of that. Oh well! What a crazy day for me! The Lord is so good. I am so thankful for an easy kind of rumor to clear up the problem instead of bad and ugly rumor to clear up the problem.

Yes, I am still looking forward another wonderful date with John Owen and his wonderful book in The Mortification of Sin again and his other wonderful books later!

Where have I been?

Well, I know that I haven't been writing much for this month. Yes, I have been busy reading and doing odds and ends job. There isn't any thing to brag about!

This early this month, I have been to The Glory of Christ Conference. I have learned a lot during this conference that some of the churches got together as well as our church, (Christ Baptist Church of Wilson) that we do every year. Here is the link to this The Glory of Christ Conference sermons that is available online. There we got another book by John Owen that is The Glory of Christ. I am looking forward to read his book as soon as I finish reading other books. This is my third John Owen's book. I love to read his book.

Yes, I am still reading a lot of books and blogs too. I am still currently reading Girls Gone Wise in the World Gone Wild by Mary A. Kassian (I am reading this for my pleasure). I need to catch up blogging about this wonderful book. I would encourage you all girls and women and including married women too to read this wonderful book. It is a true eyes opener. I am so thankful for this wonderful book too!

The God Who is There by D.A. Carson (I am reading this with the Care Group with my Wonderful church family). I am also reading The Mortification of Sin by John Owen (I am reading this for Wednesday night at Mount Hermon Missionary Baptist Church).

Oh, of course, I have been eating His Word daily too. I am doing a lot better this year than I did last year. This wonderful Bible Reading Plan does really help me a lot. We all do need to be eating His Word Daily!

As for reading the blogs online, I do have a lot of wonderful blogs that I love to read from. Some of the blogs, I do get their email to keep me updated.

With all the talk about Rob Bell, I am currently reading or watch video what is going on and whatever blogs/video against Rob Bell's message or book too. I am trying to collect all of the blogs/video that is about Rob Bell's new book called Love Wins. I am also praying for those who believe in the false gospel will come to know the truth and come to Christ alone. Without any questions of doubt, I know that Rob Bell isn't preaching the truth.

I might be blogging more about Rob Bell or be posting post linking to a great website against Rob Bell's fault messages. We all need to be standing firm for Christ and the truth too.

I forgotten to mention about that I also have been working in my garden for this year too. I might post something on this too.

Been So Busy!

Sorry, I haven't written a post since January 6th. I have been so busy getting red tape things done that I need to have it done. They are no fun to do them. With the Lord helps, I was able to do most of them. I still have some more to do. Please do pray for me and for the wisdom that I need to have Also pray for Loan Modification too even though I am caught up paying my first mortgage. I still do need to lower down my house payment. I am still waiting for some paper work to come through which should be here this month before it is over. I also have been working at Odds and Ends job which is a true joy to do for the Lord.

Now, here I am. As of January 1st, I have been eating His Word by using Justin Nale's Bible Reading Plan. I am hanging in there and enjoying it. I am so thankful for this Daily Bible Reading Plan that is perfect for me. I haven't miss a day on this which is a praise. I normally wake up early in the morning and have this for my breakfast with my ear turned off but turn on my spiritual ear to hear Him speaking to me as I am eating His Word.

Have you started a Bible Reading Plan for yourself for this year? If not, it isn't too late to start this wonderful godly habit to have a Daily Bible Reading Plan. Not sure about what kind of Bible Reading Plan, click on that link, and it will take you to other kind of Bible Reading Plan.

I also have been reading John Piper's book on Finally Alive. I am so in love with this wonderful book. I am so thankful for this wonderful book that explain the difference between the worldly view of Born Again and the Biblical view of Born Again. I totally 100% agree with Biblical view of Born Again. I also now do understand why I have been so frustrated with people who claimed that they are born again. I tend to be Thomas the Doubted about that they are born again when their life doesn't reflect that. We all need to educated those who does claim to be born again what Biblical Born Again really do means.

As of last night, I have started reading The Mortification of Sin by John Owen. I know that I will be learning a lot from this wonderful book. (By the way, I haven't finish reading Finally Alive, but I will soon.) I am reading The Mortification of Sin by John Owen with Mount Hermon Missionary Baptist Church in Rocky Mount on Wednesday night. We share and answer questions what we are learning in this book. I am looking for the next Wednesday night that is February 16th with them again. (It isn't every Wednesday night for this study.) This is more like having Theological Studies again. I love to be in a group like this. I truly do miss having Tuesday Morning Theological Breakfast that my wonderful church family (Christ Baptist Church of Wilson) had.

Communion with God the Father by John Owen

I had been reading and eating John Owen's book on Communion with God. On page 12, "They are to receive Him as the One who loves them, are are to be full of praise and thanksgiving to God for His love. They (saints) are to show gratitude for His love by living a life which pleases Him."

Yep! he got that right. We all need to show gratitude for His love by living our life which pleases Him. Do we daily live our life that is pleasing to Him or not? We ought to. (I do hope that I had worded it correctly.)

I do encourage you all to get this book. It will take me a long time and a lot of dinner dates with this wonderful book. I am taking my time to eat this book along with eating His Word as well. This is an very deep and very educational book to read. Now, this book isn't a hard reading book but a real eyes opener. I have a lot to learn. I love it and so madly in love with this book and His Word that is the Bible.
