The Stupid Things we do because of Fear!

I got to thinking about it today, and fear is a pretty useless emotion. No, I am not talking about not touching a hot stove because we could get burned, I am talking the more psychological emotional type of fear. Some stuff at work today got me really thinking about things people do out of fear. And sometimes things they don't do.

I mean think about it, think of all the stupid things humans have done because of fear. Fear of loosing your job, fear of people, fear of not being liked, fear of some crisis, etc. The list goes on and on.

I know this lady, she is afraid of losing her job. So, she ends up being a real horses you know what and being a general jerk to coworkers... because of fear.

We have all seen examples of people how are afraid of not being liked and given into drugs, sex or alcohol and end up destroying their lives... because of fear.

And even myself, I know that I have failed to step up at times and confront messy situation due to a fear of what others would think or how they would act... because of fear.

The bible tells us that God did not give us a spirit of fear. So I encourage you and myself, not to give in to fear, but simply trust in Him who gives us the authority of the prince of fear and his minions, for if we belong to Jesus, we have NOTHING to fear. Amen. Lord help me to live this out.

Summer Star Gazing

So, with the abnormal cold we have had this summer, it has allowed me some of the best astronomy weather I have ever had for the summer stars. Last night I took the scope out side and did a little star gazing! You will have to let me know what you think. The first photograph is of an bject called the Trifid Nebula, near the constellation of Sagitariaus. The second photo is of the Eagle Nebula and last but not least, Jupiter and it's moon Ganymede (Top) and Europa (bottom)
