A question I am asked a lot.

Why do I say "Yeshua" instead of  is real name "Jesus"? 

My Answer is because the letter "J" did not exist when Yeshua walked on this earth.  In my studies and there is a lot available out there. I used this one link here to help today with this blog. Here is a portion of it.

It is most proper to call Him Yeshua. It was indeed his proper name, given to him by his parents, and only in Hebrew does this name have any meaning. In Hebrew Yeshua means both "Salvation," and the concatenated form of Yahoshua, is "Lord who is Salvation." The name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English whatsoever.

In fact have you ever noticed how many people have the name "Jesus" today? According to the last U.S. Census, there are some 242,285 people in the U.S. with the first name Jesus. Statistically the 276th most popular first name.

Continuing on -  Yeshua is a Hebrew name which has been transliterated into Greek as Iesous (IhsouV: pronounced "ee-ay-SUS"). The English "Jesus" comes from the Latin transliteration of the Greek name into the Latin Iesus. Now Greek has no "y" sound, but the Latin "i" is both an "i" and a "j" (i.e., it can have a consonantal force in front of other vowels), the latter of which is properly pronounced like the English "y" (which explains the German Jesu, "YAY-su")That is why we spell Jesus as we do, taking it straight from Latin, but we pronounce the name with a soft "j" sound because that is what we do in English with the consonantal "j". Again please refer to the link above for more in-depth study of the spellings of "Yeshewa" name.

It really does not matter if you used one name or title over another as long as you have a personal relationship with "HIM". If I had a dear relationship with a person and the called me "BABY" do you not think I would know that, that person was referring to me or "CAREBEAR" or any other name attached to me.

The idea also can be extended to which bible do I use,  I use the RNKJV "Restore Names King James Version. I also like the 1611 version of the King James Bible. All though the newer  version of the Bible are easier to read many times the true meaning of the original text is lost if you compare it to the other translations available. So it is often nice to have a comparative bible to read, I have one but the print is so small to my eyes that I now often use on-line bibles frequently.  Again it is more important to have a one and one personal relationship with "Yeshua" than worry about which bible you should have. Pick one that you can read and enjoy.  If you do not know him I pray that you seek HIM out and find out how are a "Friend" he is.

I do not profess to be the best "Child of YWYH (GOD)" but I am constantly seeking his way. We all fall short of his Glory, it is only by his grace and mercy that we are whole. That reminds of the story of the prodigal son, did not his father welcome his son home with open arms upon the son's return.

So weather you call him LORD, SAVIOR, JESUS, CHRIST, MESSIAH, MASTER, KING, NAZARENE or many other names he has come to be known, just be sure to know HIM in your heart.

Intro to Qchord Forum and my reply to Gloria. :)

Just in case you all have a QChord but do not know about the forum you can go here.   This is where I found Lloyd and now Gloria.  There are around 2300 people in this forum. I hope to find more friends here as I go, if I do not annoy them to death. I am in the 'Monkey see Monkey do" stage of my playing with horrible timing issues. "Can you picture Frankenstein trying to dance and sing". Do you Remember "Young Frankenstein" a 1974 classic scifi  comedy? Yep that would be me at best LOL . Great movie by the way, you should see it or even watch it again. It certainly brings smiles and laughter into my life.

So Thank you for your reply Gloria, I have downloaded a few of your songs to listen to and study the best I can. As I type this reply I am down loading  the manual being a pdf file I can zoom in on the text the real manual is difficult to read, again Thank you. You are a Blessing I hope to hear and see more of your works. It finally finished downloading.

I am one of those types that you could classify as a non-musical, at the moment my timing skills are poor at best. You would pay me not to sing. But they say music smooths the savage beast so I am trying to see if that is true. I know it will take a while to be able to play a piece as while as you, if only in my dreams. In five grade I sang and played along with an auto-harp, back then I was sure that Miss Plant my Music teacher was surely and "Angel" on that Harp. I remember she was the first person that I ever knew to have frosted hair. I am not in Fifth grade any more and I do not have Miss Plant to make me look good but I still wish to play once again. I has been a long time since I have read music I am sure that does not help any. I do not know when the press the chord keys and when to strum, so I need to just learn how to do the chords first and worry about strumming when I "know" what I am doing on the chords. :)

Fix its...

I want to thank Wendy for sending me these quick fix it ideas... I decided to place the list here and label it "fix its", so everyone might find an idea or two.  I also want to "thank you" the person or persons involved in finding and creating the ideas and bringing them to light.

Fix its...
How many of these did YOU know about?

A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a
Knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm..)
============
Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them
Neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.
===========
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put
Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't
Refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)
==========
To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for
A few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The
Wax will fall out.

Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped
In baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).
==========
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt
BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
============
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S. Pads, I immediately take a pair of
Scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw
Away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would
Be much more economical. Now a box of S.O.S. Pads last me indefinitely!
In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get 'sharpened'' this way!
=============
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen
Peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood.. Works
Every time! (Now, where to put the body?) LOL
==========
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal
For inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks.
Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows
On a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.
============
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely
Light scent in each room when the light is turned on.
========
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell
Freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen.
=========
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3
Hours prior to burning.
======
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the
Flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt
And leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!
============
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap
And enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top.

=============
To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area
And you will experience instant relief.
============
Ants, ants, ants everywhere ... Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So,
Get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.
============
Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still,
Leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
===========
When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to
Tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and
Then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.
=====
