A house divided against itself.
Sean and Melissa Davidson of Statesboro, Ga., were confused but definitely passionate about The Passion of the Christ. They left the theater on March 11 arguing about the nature of God the Father (reportedly whether He was human or symbolic), and when they arrived home the debate turned violent—to the point that they both called the police.
Both were mistaken about God (He is a Spirit and He is real); both suffered injuries (Mrs. Davidson to her arm and face and Mr. Davidson to his hand, with a stab wound from scissors); and both were placed under arrest for simple battery.
"Really, it was kind of a pitiful thing, to go to a movie like that and fight about it," said Gene McDaniel, chief sheriff's deputy. "I think they missed the point."

Juneteenth and texas
Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance.

Need a little help in how to pray?
Your mind wander when you pray? Can't seem to stay focused? Here are some little hints that help me in individual prayer/worship.
Posture:1)kneel on both knees and sway back and forth with your hands. 2)Walk back and forth with your hands raised. 3)Get in shape....run or go walking and pray with your eyes wide open.
Scripture:1)open your Bible and read it outloud as you walk. 2)Get Worship music that are 'scripture' based songs...and pray sing them. 3)Buy the 'praying the Bible' CD series and do the stuff here's a sample 3)Memorize OT and NT prayers in the Bible and then pray it. Grab a Bible and turn to the book of Psalms. Personalize the prayers in Psalms. Learn and pray the 'Lords Prayer'. 4)Buy the Bible on CD (ESV Listeners Bible) and get a CD walkman or ipod and take off.....sometimes pause it after a scripture speaks to you.
Method:1)Begin and end with worshipping God....'God, you are Holy, Awesome, Worthy, Gracious, full of Justice, Everlasting, Lamb of God....'. Study God's attributes to help in this area. 2)Thank him for sparing you and showing you his mercy. 3)Confess your sins.....and receive His forgiveness with a grateful heart.4)After quoting His forgiveness and owning that you having been forgiven, come to God boldly asking Him to make wrong things right....Intercede, in other words....remember to ask the Holy Spirit to give you His gifts. 5) Linger long over a verse in the Bible that seems to stick out to you. Say it over and over, outloud. 6) And last but not least, invite the Holy Spirit to come and help you pray.
Prayer groups also aid individual prayer times so get in as many as you can and see your heart soar.
Start slowly. Don't beat yourself up for falling asleep. Make a goal of 5 minutes and pray/worship longer only as your hunger to stay in prayer increases. Make delight in prayer overrule your duty to pray. Follow this plan and see your TV watching time vanish, in time. Everything will fight against your praying/worship time. Even ministry. Be brave and keep at it and may we find 'joy in the house of prayer'.
Some links to help:
1)Mike Bickles apostolic prayer guide
2)God attributes study for worship
3)More ideas
4)Praying the Bible CDs warning this one could set you on fire!
