Giants or Grapes? What You See Shapes Your Victory
Realize God has already promised it to you.

God has already won the war, but you will have to fight the battle. (Exodus 3:8, NIV) When you get saved, God has promised you abundant life. (John 10:10,NKJV; 2 Corinthians 9:8,NIV) Salvation is free, but the abundant life has to be possessed. (Deuteronomy 1:8,NIV;Galatians 3:29,NIV)

How to possess the Promise Land (Abundant Life).(Numbers 13:17-23,NKJV)

After we are saved, we still have to go into the world. How we see the world will greatly determine how we respond to it. If you want to change what you do, change how you behave and what you believe. (Numbers 13:27-28,NKJV)

What we see and how we see it greatly determines our victory or defeats.(Numbers 13:30-33,NKJV) Who we listen to greatly determines our victory or defeats.

Quick and practical steps to the abundant life:

Accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. Believe and Know God’s promises.(Hebrews 11:6,NIV; 2 Peter 1:4,ESV) Obey the Word.(John 16:33,NKJV) Repent and forgive. (Acts 3:19,NIV; 2 Chronicles 7:14,NIV; Matthew 5:5,NCV)

Repentance is the act of turning away from sin and turning back to God, leading to forgiveness and renewal. We all need to do this if we want to maintain that intimate relationship with God and others. Repentance involves humbling ourselves. (Matthew 5:5,NCV

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

Image
 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

Image
I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
