Have you ever had your phone turn into a useless paperweight? Even though we are connecting today through Technology it sometimes ties us to the past and doesn’t allow us to focus on the present. It keeps us from being a part of the world around us engaging in loving the people physically living with us. Technology reminds us of what we long to have, but don’t.

Frankly, sometimes we need to take down the pictures and put certain things away so we can grieve and heal from the pain of loosing them. Sometimes we need a hard reset or bricked cellphone to force us into removing all pain-filled ties to the past.

A clean slate is good.

In the midst of grief joy can still be created. Part 4 in the series titled A Grief Giving Joy Filled Christmas were we look at how to let go and focus on what we do have. Today we talk about shifting out of believing that we have the full responsibility for the direction that a relationship goes solely resting on our shoulders and that God will never override someone’s free will to give you what you want.

Accepting that the blood of Jesus is enough and nothing else is required for the sins committed against us is the first step to dropping the cross of sin and picking up the cross of Christ’s forgiveness.

Today we talk about after acknowledgement our response to ghosting, disowning, and shunning is typically wanting to run and hide.  This running and hiding has an impact. The movie Christmas With the Kranks is a funny way to watch this play out.
When it's happening to you in real life, not so much. It's is time to shift our focus to the umbrella Santa's in our lives that we all have.

Do people have more faith in winning the lottery than in a supernatural miracle healing from God?

Where is the faith in a supernatural intervention of a living, loving God?
have we have become so detached from the supernatural in our structuring the church to avoid extremism, that we have more faith in winning the lottery? The odds are 1,292,201,338 to one that you will win, and yet we have doubt in the God of the universe who specializes in beating all odds.

This stripping away of God's dominion in the supernatural swings the door wide open for the demonic. Today we dive into this lottery mindset.
