Who says, "Money don't fall from the sky?"

The next time someone says, “Money doesn’t fall from the sky,” tell them to talk with the family in Nogales, Mexico. The family was sleep when they heard a noise that sounded like thunder, which is expected during the monsoon season. Thinking nothing of it, the couple went back to sleep only to later find that their carport had a round hole in it. Not only was there a hole in the carport but the family’s doghouse was destroyed by a bulky bundle, wrapped in plastic; which turned out to be 26 pounds of marijuana! The value of the bundle of marijuana was $10,000. Maybe the family prayed for a financial blessing and the Good Lord allowed the drug smugglers to accidentally drop the bundle at the family’s home. Yeah Right!

Some of us would have followed suit with what the couple did by informing the police, while others would have chalked the incident up as “Divine intervention” and initiated a Start-up Pot selling empire. A hand few of us would have utilized the bundle of marijuana to self medicate ourselves through the daily ups and downs of life. What category would you have been in? For me, theoretically it’s a “No Brainer”, I would've informed the local authorities of my findings. But experientially speaking, I’ve never been in that situation, so it’s easy to say what I THINK I would do.

Whatever category you and I may think we would’ve been in, here’s something that’s certain; it was a blessing that the 26 pound bundle of marijuana, falling from a considerable distance in the sky, didn’t happen to fall into the couple’s bedroom because instead of contemplating calling the authorities, the next of kin would have needed to contact the local coroner’s office.

Moral of the story is, be thankful in all circumstances because it could always be worse.

The Alternative to Murder; The Baby Moses Law

I believe that Ronald Reagan said it best, “I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.” This isn’t a post with the intention to bash Planned Parenthood or individuals who have had an abortion. This isn’t a post to incite gatherings outside of abortion clinics throughout America. To be frank, I don’t believe a person should be outside of abortion clinics with signs to stop abortions if they’re not willing to adopt the child that a mother wants to abort.  That’s why I was so zealous to read about the Baby Moses Law in Texas. This law gives parents who believe they’re unable to care for a child, the right to safely drop off a 60 day old or younger infant at several sites throughout the state of Texas.

Would it be safe to say that some people have been born into chaos but were able to overcome the odds, to become productive members of our society and left contributions of substantial worth to us all? We must remember that who’s unwanted by one is wanted by someone else. For a pregnant mother to abort a child shows that she believes that she will be the only influential person in that child’s life. The mother never realizes that it takes more than an individual to raise a child. The Baby Moses Law says, “If you feel you made a mistake, if the child will be unwanted, uncared for, neglected, mistreated or crippled by your state of poverty; at least give the child a chance with someone who will be making an intentional decision to become a parent. My mother was an alcoholic so she gave my brother and me to another family member. At first I felt hatred and abandoned by my mother but as I later reflected on her decision, I saw a mother who came to the reality that she didn’t want children but wanted to give her children a chance to live life.    

"The Sixhour Room"

The picture that you’re looking at above is a body underneath a sheet, at a morgue in Denmark. The room that this picture was taken in is called, “The Sixhour room”. It’s called the “Sixhour room because a Dr. will examine the body before 6 hours have passed from the time of death. If you look at the picture, you will notice a red cord in the photo that has never been used, but its there anyway; so that the person can call for help should they awaken.

Question: Are you in your “Sixhour room?” In this room your purpose or dream appears to be unresponsive to the effort that you’ve invested into it so far. You’re at a place in life, where nothing appears to be happening, people have forgotten about you, and the support is at an all time low.

Truth of the matter is what’s impossible with man is possible with God! Sometimes God will raise up a opposition much stronger, and bigger than you or I can handle; just so we get desperate enough to “Pull the red cord”, or ask for help! Why would a loving God do such a thing? One reason is to increase your faith in Him; showing that nothing is too difficult for Him. Another reason is to bring glory to His name.

The only Question that remain is; Will you pull the red cord?
