The O'Neal Times

Scriptural thought of the Day: Deuteronomy 32:7 " Remember the days of old; consider the years of past generations. Ask your father he can tell you;Your elders, and they will inform you." At first Glance: Reading the bible is personal. After reading the above text what  jumps out at you? I noticed the three things we should do. Research  or look at the past, Ask for help from your parents or guardians, Ask other older ones who have wisdom gained through experience. My question was ;"What's the context?" So I read the entire Chapter to see the surrounding verses to get a better understanding of who why and when was this research being done. What I learned was these were the instructions God was giving the nation of Israel through Moses. They had caused him much pain and displeasure. They had forgotten their God. He was reminding them who he was and what he was capable of. However, he wanted them to come to that conclusion not from what other people had to say but...

Discovery of the Day: I found a new document that confirms the dates of birth and death for Roger Ellwod O'Neal. I attached that to his file in my personal notes. I've added the source if you want to see the record. Scriptural thought of the Day: We have been going through a rough time lately and we've also been taking a closer look at the scriptures daily hoping to reinforce our faith. Today's daily text comes from: Isaiah 57:15  " For this is what the High and Lofty One says, Who lives forever and whose name is holy: “I reside in the high and holy place, But also with those crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of those being crushed." I like looking up cross-references that aid in seeing how God truly feels about a subject. When you see the same thought several times it helps you see more clearly how God truly sees things. As Lofty as he is it is comforting to know that he cares for the broken hearted. Cross-...

Entertainment: LORD YOU GAVE ME A MOUNTAIN  https://m.starmakerstudios.com/v/share-landing-page/detail?is_convert=true&pg_rf_ca_vn=230&rank_type=7&recording_id=4503599802372949&share_type=more Scriptural thought of the Day:   It's funny we always rely on ourselves and we try to overcome whatever situation arises ultimately we sometimes reach the point where you realize you have no clue what to do or where to turn. That's the time you finally then decide to seek assistance. It's then and sometimes only then do you call the only other person you trust and if you truly feel alone in the world you might pray. Even if you are the kind a person who wonders is anyone truly listening. I read the Bible text for today and said to myself Let's just see if the daily text has an answer for what I'm going through or what to do next? Today's text was 1 Cor 3:7 there it reads "so that neither is the one who plants anything nor is the one who wat...

Discovery of the Day: I found a new record to attach to my maternal grandmother's brother William Kim Whaley.  This gave another source confirming his date of birth.  Entertainment: I ranked No.16 in Total ranking  I OVERLOOKED AN ORCHID https://m.starmakerstudios.com/v/share-landing-page/detail?is_convert=true&pg_rf_ca_vn=230&rank_type=7&recording_id=4503599802372949&share_type=more Scriptural thought of the Day: Yesterday was a better day. It had its own anxiety but I was able to handle each problem and got through it. The thing I was so stressed out over is still there but it's looking to have a solution eventually.  I decided to see what the daily text had to say for today and tried to think about how it applies to me personally.   The text was from Ecclesiasties 9:6 "Better to enjoy what the eyes see than to wander after one’s desires. This too is futility, a chasing after the wind." At first glance I thought to myself your father in he...
