"On this page I'll include links to related sites. If you notice any broken links, let me know. Also let
me know about your own favorite sites!"-Tripod
Here again the pre-formatted page is working for me. Below I will list links, alphabetically by category, which
I either find useful, interesting, informative, or perhaps, fun. Enjoy.
Bibles, etc.
The first links I will post will direct you to sites where you can purchase Bibles and other Christian merchandise. I
cannot stress enough what a wonderful, life-changing difference seeking God through reading the Bible and prayer has done
for me. At fourteen, I was delivering papers on one of the longer routes in Lindenhurst. One day, in 1982, a woman
on my route suddenly felt inspired to give me a brand-new full length Bible, most enthusiastically asking that I read it someday.
Almost five years later, just before my nineteenth birthday, I began with Genesis and three years later, finished with Revelation.
I remember reading early on that if you read with an open heart, earnestly seeking God, that He would disclose glorious wisdom
and understanding. Since that time, I have never seen the world the same again, never felt hopelessly depressed again, saw
just how selfish I had been, understand that we are to help others in this life using our gifts and talents to assist and
teach those who are feeling as we once were when we lived in darkness while at the same time bringing joy to those who
have already been enlightened and saved.
I continue to read the Bible on a daily basis which not only reminds and reaffirms what I've learned, helping me
to stay on the right path, bringing great joy and peace in Christ, but also serves to perpetuate the truths
disclosed to me through God in Christ.
It is an ultimate gift to give someone, everyone. Alphabetically, this category is first; it is also a top priority.
Tie one to the top of Christmas or birthday gifts. Give them as wedding guest gifts. Stuff stockings, put in Easter baskets.

Charity
Here are just a handful of some great charities which are out there for you to learn about, make a donation, or volunteer.
A projected project of a sort is to host a (hopefully)non-alcoholic party where a room in the house will be furnished
with flyers, a replaying video, posters, brochures and a wooden box to deposit a check for a selected charity. A fundraiser
replete with wholesome music, vegetarian buffet, and lots of goodwill. Perhaps you will find one below for the theme. More
will be added to this list.

World religion
Well I've decided to add another category and this time, of course, last again is not least... Reiterating that I am
simply a "Christian", I will elaborate to say it is one, because I follow Jesus directly and don't see where His teaching
leads to divisions and factions: to me it is man's folly and error to do so. Second, the divisions serve to contradict Christ's
teaching of unity; and it serves to foster a myriad of negative consequences. Moving on, God is One. Man is different.
Man interprets God differently though He is one and the same. Therefore to the extent man understands God as He truly is,
they are correct and might follow correctly. To the extent they are amiss, they may also follow thus incorrectly.
Jesus teaches that God is love and that we are to follow. Indeed some religions teach us to love and to that extent they
are on the right road. The link listed below will take you to a site which explores all world religions so that we might educate
ourselves and cite where others are correct and where they go astray. We have the Holy Spirit of Christ through God to guide
us.
Click here to access and assess world religions in light of Christ's love within you.
"For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be
justified. When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though
they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears
witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges
the secrets of men by Christ Jesus." Romans 2:13-16
God created us and God gave us a conscience...
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division
of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews
4:12
"And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.'" Mark 16:15
"Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord." 2 Peter 1:2
"So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath." James 1:19
"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall
I be afraid?" Psalms 27:1
O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!" Psalms 8:9
"Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." Jude
1:21
