Vision, Mission, and Goals: the PURPOSE of this blogspot

We invite you to add postings and comments to postings, since your talent is on loan from God, and so is your inspiration.

VISION statement: We envision the exchange of pondering, and inspiration from prayer.

MISSION statement: We achieve success in Destiny as we ponder, pray, and act. Encouraging others in our paths of Life is what God wants us to do, and supports us in this effort. Our Mission is to prove acceptable to God by building ourselves and others through great effort and service to God and His children here on Earth. We work smarter with His guidance and inspiration.

Through THOUGHT and PRAYER we transcend mortal efforts. Isaiah 55. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts; neither are your ways my ways; ... for as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Jehovah

GOAL statement: (1st goal) Capitalize on 'PONDER and PRAY' as an ongoing tool of Life. Refine techniques through practicing thought and constant prayer. "Ask and ye shall receive."

. . . "Where there is no vision the people perish." Proverbs 29:18. . . . .

My Current Interest Areas to: PONDER & PRAY

Driving to the Kansas City airport (to return from Kansas State University to Southern California) we had time to decide areas of our current interests. Then on the plane, made a sheet for each of these dozen categories to develop, ponder, pray, and go to work.

First, a diagram of ShippAhoy.blogspot, showing posts for each of our five children families; then others can post comments. [David, Carrie, Michelle, Debbie, Amy.] Then post Interesting Subjects for everyone to comment.

Second, a diagram of ShippHomePort.blogspot with Family Divine Charter at the top, and Celestial Constitution at the top, and [draft] Family Bill of Rights. Then a Post for each of the SIBs for children and grandchildren to comment among themselves. And like ShippAhoy, some Posts of general interest: Reunion, Indexing, Genealogy & Family History & Research, Parenting, Fun, Family Home Evening [FHE], Prayer, Pondering, Bedtime for kids, Scriptures and Other, such as Food Storage.

Willing to Ponder and Pray

Today was a good day at Church. Attendance gives you time to ponder and to pray. Church is designed for fellowship with others striving to live spiritual lives. So, attendance is usually edifying simply on that basis.
