April Fools Day


April Fools' Day (sometimes called All Fools' Day) is celebrated every year on 1 April by playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes. The jokes and their victims are called April fools. People playing April Fool jokes expose their prank by shouting April Fool. Some newspapers, magazines, and other published media report fake stories, which are usually explained the next day or below the news section in small letters. Although popular since the 19th century, the day is not a public holiday in any country.

The custom of setting aside a day for the playing of harmless pranks upon one's neighbor is recognized everywhere. Some precursors of April Fools' Day include the Roman festival of Hilaria, the Holi festival of India, and the Medieval Feast of Fools.

But despite her fear and confusion, Mary didn't run from the situation. Instead, she listened with enough composure to understand the announcement. Then she asked a simple question, "How can this be?" Mary didn't question God's call on her life. She only asked for clarification. She wanted to understand the mechanics of how something that seemed in opposition to natural law could be accomplished. Once the angel answered that question, she yielded herself totally to God's plan. I can imagine that if an angel appeared to a teenage girl today with this shocking news - you're going to have a baby, although you are a virgin and unwed - there would be numerous questions or an exclamation of "No way!" I'm sure Mary realized the potential problems inherent in G...

Help! God is Punishing Me for My Poor Choices

Image
Let say you're a believing single christian, praying to God for a life partner. You meet someone you're attracted and interested in, who claims to be on the same faith level as you; deep within your spirit mind you can tell that something don't quite add up. You ignore every warning sign by the Holy Spirit!  You date and finally married this person and then realize the person was not truly who he/she claimed to be all along.  You find yourself in a miserable marriage that you consider a living hell; then you start believing that since you disobeyed the warnings of the spirit of God, it was all your fault. God is punishing you for making the wrong choice and the least you can do is to accept the circumstance the way it is.  The truth is God does not punish us for the poor choices we make.  II Peter3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promises, as some understand slowness. Instead HE is patient with you, not wanting anyone to p...
