Louisiana Through My Lens - Exploring The Grounds of a Haunted House on Halloween - Lecompte

 It's Halloween se the wife and I decided to prowl around the spookiest house in our neighborhood. In every town there is always a creepy old abandoned house that the locals claim to be haunted. Unfortunately here in Central Louisiana there are far more houses like this then one person could count. Hard economic conditions have turned most of the smaller towns here in the Pelican State into near ghost towns.  I'm not going to go out on a limb and make any claim to whether this house is indeed haunted or not. On a night like this it really didn't matter because the wife and I decided to play Scooby-Doo and explore around the property. Unfortunately (or probably fortunately) we didn't discover an old ship captain in a swamp creature costume or anything like that.  What we have here is just another old house here in Lecompte that has been abandoned and is starting to fall apart and is being quickly reclaimed by the local vegetation.

The Six Phases of Faith - Great Adversity Will Lead to God's Greatest Blessings

  The Six Phases of Faith 1. Dream - God has a purpose for every single person on Earth. Sometimes we discover this purpose through life experiences, Bible study and service, while other times it comes from a direct message the Lord. In the case of Abraham God gave him a set of instructions and a promise that he would be the father of a great nation even though he was of an advanced age and at the time childless. Genesis 12:1-3 1. The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. 2.  “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” 2. Decision - When our purpose is revealed we still have the free will to choose whether or not to act on it. In the case of Abraham he did as the Lord commanded. ...
