Love this from 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5 in the Message translation...
4-8But friends, you're not in the dark... You're sons of Light, daughters of Day. We live under wide open skies and know where we stand. So let's not sleepwalk through life like those others. Let's keep our eyes open and be smart. People sleep at night and get drunk at night. But not us! Since we're creatures of Day, let's act like it. Walk out into the daylight sober, dressed up in faith, love, and the hope of salvation.
9-11God didn't set us up for an angry rejection but for salvation by our Master, Jesus Christ. He died for us, a death that triggered life. Whether we're awake with the living or asleep with the dead, we're alive with him! So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you'll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you're already doing this; just keep on doing it.
His life is in you - let's take on hell with a furious love of freedom - for everyone.
ALIVE!

Great verses... that sounds just like the right word for the Body of Christ for right now... 2011 will be turn around time for His church... the head and not tail... there is the sound and rumble of a waking army in Michigan coming to attention... Thanks brother for going forward... Karl
