Greetings! I am going to continue on the same subject as last time. Letting God be God and learning to get off the milk and eat the meat. Those of you, who claim to be Christians, need to understand that you have to move beyond what you know. Turn to Hebrews chapter 6 versus 1 thru 3:
1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not
laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of
eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
Why would we be told this? What purpose? God wants us to continue seeking him, learning about him and just getting to know him. How can we grow if we are stuck, in the same point in our lives? How could you do algebra if you continually stay on your addition and subtraction? Some of you may ask, what do I need algebra for, addition and subtraction has done me just fine. Maybe it has, but that does not mean you are not missing out. Having the knowledge of algebra makes some of the things you do easier and faster. Since this is probably a subject that many hate. Let me try another track. If you never learn to use a nailing gun and only use a hammer, then think about what happens? Yes, you will be able to complete the job your doing, but it will take longer to do. This is the same with the word of God and getting to know more about him, beyond those things in Hebrew above.
God has so much he wants to show us, but he can’t. We get stuck on the same thing over and over. I was going to pick a subject, but thought better of it. Why, because everyone reading this is at a different part of the walk with their God, which is another topic altogether.
I will close with this. Try expanding your walls, by learning more about God. Be opened to what God wants, not what you want. If you do this you will see things that will only amaze you more about God. Till next time, may the Lord grant you peace.

Bad writing.
I want to apologize for the horriable job I did on this blog. I did not proof read it and I am truely sorry. I plan on doing a better job than this. I know how to write and appear somewhat intelligent, even though this work does not show it. Again let me apologize for send out a badly written paper. I assure you my writing professor is very good and I plan on showing you how much the next time. Till then God bless,
Jesse

I am back. Praise God!
What do I say my friends and family? I had not realized how long it has been since I posted. I feel now that I have not done my job. I seek you forgiveness, but most of all I seek Gods. To tell you little that is going on. School has kept me on my toes these last few months. I just wrapped up my summer 1 class. Well short version. God is moving in so many ways in my life. I can't help to feel that things are not only better but getting better and the best is yet to come. So, what why am I after all this time finally getting on here for? Because I honestly feel bad. I am going to start putting my Sunday School messages on here. Yes, for those of you who do not know it by now, I am teaching Sunday School at Rolling Hills in Marengo. IF you ever get a chance come and visit us. So, what am I thinking?
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
I heard A preacher taught me this week. There is nothing that can not be found in his word. If we look and study God will show us a lot of things. We seem to learn a certain amount then stop. Why is that? If we seek God there is so much he will show us. Really!
Reading and studying the Word is similar to our eating habits. The Bible even talks about this. Some adults will not anything new. They eat the same old things over and over. They never expand their range of taste. Those that do, expediences things that sometimes can change their whole perspective. Imagine if you only ate a certain thing. You been able to try other things but you refused to. What are you missing? Here is my experience, hold on I will tie this back into spiritual here in a minute. I love Fried Chicken, Mashed potatoes and Corn. I could live off this. Yet, If I did I would never know how much I love them. Think about it. I love other foods, but man when I get that chicken meal. OH IT TASTE SO GOOD! It is such a treat! I fall in love with it again. This is how studding the word is.
Hebrews 5
12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
See you never grow if you don't study. You stay drinking spiritual milk. You don't grow and you don't realize what the wholeness of God is. The more you drink and eat of his word, the more you fall in love when you hear about what he did for you.
So let me leave you with this, Do you want Milk all your life or do you want more?
