A Letter to one who hopes.

2010-05-06T10:10:00.005-04:00

This a letter to one who needed encouragement:

Hello XXXXX,
I am always glad to hear from you, i am encouraged by all the things you write about his new
life you have begun in Jesus Christ. But there is one thing i haven't heard you mention yet,
your friendship with other believers (Christians), i pray that you will not be so solitary,
because talking and telling others what Jesus has done for you will establish your faith, making
your heart know how much God really loves you. This is why i am writing you, i want you to
be able to share this letter with as many as will read it or listen, for it also affirms what God is
asking me by His Spirit to do, that will bless my experience with Jesus.
There some things that i want you, and all of the inmates there within the prison, to know,
how much God loves us. John 3:16-17 best says it one sentence􀂴For God so Loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that
the world through Him might be saved.􀂴
This is the Good News, that with Jesus and what He did will set our lives straight with God,
you not only get this free, for this is God's gift to us, but you will never can earn it, no, no one
will be 􀂳good􀂴, everyone of us will make mistakes, will do things just as we used to, but the
Good News is Jesus already paid the price of our sins. Yes you all have heard that He died for
our sin(s), but now that He is sitting at the right hand of God, He is always interceding for us,
being our attorney before God pleading our case, and He is faithful to forgive us when we ask.
Keeping the fellowship(friendship)with God the Father open. When your pissed at a friend the
two of you will not speak or you will argue, that friendship is broken until we admit guilt and
forgive each other, it is the same with God but He never stops our friendship with Him it is us
that breaks it. Thank God for Jesus, we can right away confess that sin (those are the things
we know God doesn't like) and He is Just to forgive us. There is no penalty to be paid, no
fines, no acts that will make us earn it, but it's done by grace, God's love for us, unearned by
us, but given freely through Christ who died to earn for us the forgiveness that is given to us
by God. Boy isn't that Good News! But even all this, God was not done with us. He wants us
to live our lives for Him. ugh-h! i used to think, now here's the hard part! no that is a lie!
Because God isn't ignorant he knows us, He knows how hard these can be to do, so God
didn't leave us hanging, He sent the Holy Spirit, to give us the right heart, the attitude of
loving God that makes living for Him so easy, got it, EASY! not hard, not in any
condemnation, because we all were condemned before we even knew Jesus, now that we
believe, God's loves has not changed for us, sure there's things he wants to change, but He
waited this long for us just to believe in Jesus, His patience(love) has not ran out.
Not only did He send His Spirit to live in our hearts, God sent Him to to many things not
possible on our own. He sent the Holy Spirit to equip us for living here on earth, with sin and
Satan all around us, God has made us to be winners for His own sake.
Most of the time we have heard about Jesus, seen that those who accept Him, often slip
back into the life they once had, or they struggle with the temptations that they don't really
want, or ones they really want but know that God got a better deal for you.
That is exactly why He sent the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit)to live in us, to talk directly to our
hearts(spirit)so that we would know His voice and He could tell us the best for lives. He gave
us His Spirit so we could and would talk to Him in the language of angels(talking in tongues)
because it builds our spirit up and shows us things in our lives that we need to know, about
ourselves, our family, our friends and just communicate with God.
He also gives spiritual gifts, that help build the Body of Christ(church)so that every need is
met. This why we gather together to worship God so that the Spirit can work in us and
through us to build the church into the prefect Bride of Christ.
Just like our own bodies , we have many parts each one does something to give us the whole
experience of life, ears to hear, eyes to see, nose to smell, tongue to taste, hearts to pump
blood, livers to clean the blood, and so on. There's also many unseen parts that help our bodies
function well, some you guess without me naming them because they get rid waste in our
bodies, lol. there are some we don't know about, but they are there and without them we
could easily die, ask to doctor or nurse they can tell you. So it is with the Body of
Christ(church)many parts each with something to contribute, some that are very noticeable and
others that are not so apparent. My God doesn't waste anything, all of us has a purpose here,
and finding that out is what we can do with the help of the Holy Spirit working in us.
Some of you might say, how can i receive the Spirit? Just by asking and believing, because
Jesus has already promised that once He left for heaven that He would send the Holy Spirit to
us.
John 16:5 KJV - But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me,
Whither goest thou?
John 16:6 KJV - But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
John 16:7 KJV - Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if
I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John 16:8 KJV - And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment:
John 16:9 KJV - Of sin, because they believe not on me;
John 16:10 KJV - Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
John 16:11 KJV - Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
John 16:12 KJV - I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
John 16:13 KJV - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all
truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and
he will shew you things to come.
John 16:14 KJV - He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto
you.
John 16:15 KJV - All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take
of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.
At any time, place, wherever you are, whoever you are the Spirit is ready for you, just pray a
simple pray(or just talk, that's how i see it, cause prayer makes me think some great spoken
words with thee's and thou's and it just not me cause i just want to be honest before God, after
all He can see our true meanings of our hearts), this prayer,
Thank you Lord Jesus, for making your sacrifice on the cross for me and paying the final
price for sin in my life, Thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to come and live in me, I invite
you Holy Spirit, come live in me, fill me, comfort me , teach me and impart to me the spiritual
gifts that God wants me to have. Thank you Holy Spirit for showing yourself to me in a way
that i can not deny you or the power you have for me to live a life for Jesus.
So lighten up, be happy and joyful. All we need has already been put into our hearts and
hands to live a life in right relationship with our Lord Jesus.
I am ready for a happy party right now! God has set us free!
John 8:32 KJV - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:36 KJV - If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
I have wrote these things to you XXXXX that you will be blessed and you fellowship with
the other saints(yes that's right! saint XXXXX, i like, how about you? it just means the ones
saved by the grace of God) and seek Jesus together. Oh, i know how we as people can look
around and say 􀂳oh, not that person or not that person!􀂴 But know that God has loved us all,
even the worst of us and forgave us, so that we can fellowship with God. All of us equally
loved by God the Father, God the Son(Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit.
Pass this letter around let no one not have the opportunity to read it or hear about
because God has great things planned ahead for you.
with love,

Happy New Year

dead white guys

2009-01-17T11:03:00.008-05:00

it's exciting to sort of preview what's coming this sunday,i am never quite sure how Travis is going to present the latest "dead white guy" to us.
so i hit the wikipedia trail (it's like being in the woods with so many trails you can get lost fairly easily) to check him out,Charles Spurgeon.
the most amazing to me was the simplest to learn of yet it has become one of the most widely used tool in bring the Good News to people around the globe.
so check this out, it is awesome!!

this is where you can read what these three colors are about!

when i open my mouth.........

2009-01-13T19:25:00.006-05:00

this is short but,definitely to the point, a brief conversation at work today went this way;
1st guy: (sorry but my Spanish was not so good looking today) something, something,about a lot of money of mine.
me: well my Father (pointing upward)owns the cattle on a thousand hills!
1st gal: well i could use a bunch of those.
me:yea but,it seems we only get one hamburger at a time.
1st gal: well thank you Jesus!

so i walked to the room i work in(also known as the "dungeon") and as i started to work again He said to me "and all you ever ask for are band aids in your prayers about your life"
it is so true, i just back away from asking those bold prayers that Travis was preaching/sharing about on sunday.

until next time,peace and love to all.
because that is what Jesus came to give to everyone no matter who you are.

so dudes, grab yer boards and catch the wave. this is the finale for this years lessons that God has been leading us up to. from the "recovering hypocrite" to being "fully engaged"and back for some basics of "simply Jesus"after which we find a "fortune cookie"to getting rid of our junk in "got funk" so that we could get "loaded" for the kingdom. after which we were trained in "the art of war" and a rather reluctant "jonah" (not to be confused with our own fish tales). to cap it off with bill wilson's "just do it" attitude. so if you don't see the wave building up now you might need to wait for next one that will promise you the ride of your life.
so start paddling (takes a step of action here,ok) because God is about to do some great stuff here soon!

whotta Sonday!

2008-12-22T20:48:00.007-05:00

i am just sitting here contemplating what to write about Bill Wilson,to be honest when i went to Metro Ministries web site,there was a picture of this guy(bill) with some children and my thought was "he doesn't look so tough".boy! was i dead wrong! after hearing his story and his message, he has the perseverance of a pit bull dog,(maybe be tougher than that). and yet his love for the people in the area of Brooklyn,NYC has got to be unending. Bill you are awesome and yet that awesomeness has got to from the love that he has experienced from Jesus himself first hand.(hey am i getting it!)
the message in the early service was great,and i was told that the second was a continuation but, when he was in Plantation Key it was like it started the same,and the Spirit of God just took it all to another level(at least for me it did).....more later got to get ready for work now.but i am not finished yet so stay tuned in.

well howdy!

2008-12-15T17:06:00.003-05:00

it has been a couple of months hiatus for me and i have really had some interesting and fun things happen, do i want to this chronologically? or fun stuff first?

or better yet , hey Chris, did you ever do a worst blogger for your friday night rollblog?might be catchy eh? yea i could be in the top five!

so eight days after this last entry here on Oct 8, i cut my left index finger(i'm not a fast typist anyways and doing a one finger blog didn't have any appeal at the time)(plus a touch of lazy too) :p
well looking back to what october was like now i can only guess where my head was(_) in a fish bowl maybe? but the new pk campus was on line to open, kelly j had med problems and come to think there were a lot of attacks in oct for many, financial and otherwise,hmmm i smella rat at work! yet everyone became so busy ,clean-up at pk and setups for lights and sound,not to mention some good ole handyman work handle by our very own Tom Little& Rafael (with a big love for Jesus).and what a blessing it has become, and seeing Jesus at work there.
it sure has brought many things at Life pointe to life, more volunteers,jesse & alex new album the year end project for Cambodia.
then there was Thanksgiving, what a great time i had with all my kids together,my daughter April did such an outstanding dinner ,it was amazing. now we are cresting the Christmas wave and it will soon be here. only we will all find a song to sing this year, one that has our heart yearning to fulfil.
So just in case i get "busy" between now and new years, i want to wish for all at Life Pointe and for all who read this, that my God give to you this Christmas the gift that has been giving for two thousand years, the Gift of the Christ, His Son Jesus.That peace and harmony should enter into your homes and abide with you this holiday season.

Son Day@Life Pointe

2008-08-17T16:40:00.004-04:00

i think this will be my new title for the sunday worship,because it is all about Him.
this week we ended an all too short series called consumed(and yes i didn't post anything last week,shame on me).that's because this is probably one message series that as a christian, defines our very lives,whose we are and why we are.all i really mean is that worship of the Jesus the Son,and God the Father are such a force in our lives that i wonder why i just not always in a state of worship,but then from Pastor Paul came a rewarding and enlighting message last week august 10,2008.we are always in a state of worship as we live a life that honors Jesus,and really even that means when we're as human as anyone else,we do shine before the world because we can express what it means to be forgiven.
Paul has shown us the importance of worship, who we should worship and how we need to worship.
and today was a completion of(let me mention it again, the all too short) series "consumed" and the world renown, pastor jesse.jesse i really mean you're as laid back as joel osteen is,you have a real gift of relaxing us right into the truth of God's word.yet today there was an excitement as the meaning of worship was being pictured not only in our lives but in your life of music.
thank you jesse, i am always love it when you're on the podium.
i only regret is that the worship service wasn't last,because i was charged up for one.yet there was made by the Spirit to me a way,i know that there were others back in the second service and the presence of the Spirit was so moving that it became a worship time after jesse's message.

Sunday@Life Pointe

2008-07-27T16:11:00.003-04:00

What a peculiar Jesus we have,one wouldn't have thought that the sunday service could or would begin at 11pm saturday. Of course it was time to end the day and lay down for the night and sleep yet,here i lay thinking of a old children's pray,now i lay me down to sleep.... . what's this really about? am i worried about my soul, no, my confidence is in He who promised that my soul was his to keep,about not awakening in the morning?not! even if it so,it's well with me now at this very moment. we can take this up later ok.
beep,beep beep goes the alarm it's 6am, i get up feeling rested,then i think oh wow i actually slept 7 hours straight through.ty Jesus (i really didn't realize that today Pastor Trav was going to deal anxiety).
off to the coffee pot,i still need my morning eye opener,so there i am standing in kitchen just waiting for the coffee maker to finish,when my daughter Esther wanders in, eyes half shut,she mutters,"what am you doing here,aren't you late for work or are you going in late",i said "no i not late and yea i am going to work(i know it's sunday and my real job awaits me) late"(well later than the usual and i thinking yea, now that is a job i could do 24/7).so i gave her another then she figured out it wasn't monday :-)
ok, coffee in hand, off to read a few blogs,see whats up,... oh crud!6:40 get r in gear boy, you are gonna be late!
7:3? i am here at Life Pointe,everyone is in full swing,Chris is vacuuming the carpet,carts are all out,Richie is busy with the booth and of course Anne is busy putting it all together.
ok, grab the flags,they are a priority,then its like off to the races,whoosh goes the time,somewhere in between i look up and i am thinking "where did all these people come from? ty Jesus.
8:46 everything looks gtg(good to go)but i stumbling with the software on the laptop for the booth,i look for Paul..."Paul,help me..." gtg.i mean if i am anxious on any given sunday today is a good example.
The worship was as outstanding as the Spirit of God could ever make it.(besides any thing else for me to add would not do justice to what He was doing here today,there was a flow from Him and i knew He was doing incredible things in the hearts of His people and me).
Then the real bomb drops,todays teaching,sermon,message anxiety in our lives,just so i don't mess with what the Spirit wants to say to the Church,check it out here,
Life Pointe Church.

Life group,a little Life for Tuesday Nite

2008-07-08T21:11:00.008-04:00

tuesday are always a special night,because of life group at the Johnsons' are to say the least,interesting.the is such a variety of different people,their backgrounds,their unity in fundamental beliefs in God, and his Son, Jesus.
an intriguing conversation of the book "The Reason for God" by Timothy Keller is our highlighted feature.and of course tonight's chapter "The Clues of God" brought as stimulating a conversation as ever,while we all meet other people who struggle with believing in God and the bible,we as Christians seem to have a struggle with explaining our faith,oh don't presume I've excluded myself.this only stems from the fact that they,those who don't have a faith in Christ,are always searching for hard and conclusive facts,something indisputable,before committing to a faith in Jesus.
oh,how well i remember those days,searching for truth,about God and Jesus' work on the cross,and religion.how close i came so many times,how the Spirit drew my heart so near,yet i would stop to argue in my mind what about this, what about that,only to find no concrete answers would come just the gentle urging of His Spirit.
i mean this wasn't once ,twice,or three times this was every Sunday i attended church.i would leave in a fog my mind asking the same insignificant questions,like why does bad things happen if God is so loving,i sure that we have all had our list.
i wasn't ready to give up,so as it happened i was invited to a men's retreat out of town.as the first nightly service ended again as they gave an altar call,i just couldn't stand it any longer,the doubts, the fears,i mean i didn't consider myself a bad guy,i just had to give in, i had to say yes,i had to accept this faith in Jesus,i mean there were no, visions of God,no burning bushes,no blinding lights,i just had to set aside all that was hindering me and just accept this Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
so as with the discussion of our group, i often wonder what it was like to be Abraham,there was no bible, no written words of God(scriptures),no evangelist,no preachers,no Sunday church service,bible tracts,nothing we see or hear today.yet,he knew of a true God,the Creator of Life,He was evident to him and worshipped this God and communed with Him,basing his faith on who He said He was.
i just get blown away every time i think about it.

July Fourth at Homestead Sports Complex

here's a few pictures from the fireworks display outing with the Life Pointe guys and gals.

July 4 with friends in Homestead

2008-07-05T17:38:00.001-04:00

so here it is july 4th already, wow time flies, travis and kelly's life group regular weekly get together was postponed so we could go as a group to the sports complex and enjoy the fireworks display sponsored by the city of homestead.and of course there was an ongoing fireworks show outside the stadium,in which the young ones thoroughly enjoyed,in which the much anxious parents viewed with great caution. anyway i took some movie clips and pics that i hope you will enjoy them.

it's a Sunday ....... ok i'll try some catchy phrase later

2008-06-29T18:32:00.002-04:00

what a great sunday at life pointe church!
kind of leaves one speechless,the Spirit of God was moving throughout the worship service,what an awesome God we serve.
pastor travis brought us and himself (he admits this publicly,ok) a message about humility. this is what i really love about travis and lpc,it's real, real people,real lives,real struggles, loving a real saviour,Jesus Christ.
everyone here knows,if you don't then it won't be for long if your hanging with this bunch,what Jesus has done for all. that while we were yet separated from God through our own selfish wills,Jesus became a sacrifice for us to reconcile us to God. and that we should partake of this reconciliation by merely accepting this act by Jesus,in good faith,believing that this is a gift from God,not to be earned, but freely given to all no matter who you are.even this is not the end of God's graceous gifts for he has sent the Spirit of God to seal our hearts with our acceptence of Jesus.for the Spirit now begins the work of conforming us to the likeness of Jesus.
---------Pause for an applause---------------------------------------------:-)

as i was saying great sunday at life pointe church.
sorry i missed the church 2.0, i sure there will be another bunch of bloggers coming from Life Pointe Church in Homestead

fractured Faith tale part 2

2008-06-11T20:17:00.003-04:00

i wanted to expose all the influences that make us tick when it comes to religion and our relationship with Jesus.but wanted to abridge my life of 55 years into something more,what shall i call it, interesting?
just to begin this i had a friend who would study and teach about the book of Revelations,whoa there partners,not so fast i am only commenting that he explained that the book describes simultaneous happenings,as this is the only way to do so, in film and print,is to account them one at a time.(OK breathe Easy,that is it,no more on that subject.)
well other than how events on earth and in heaven can happen at the same time.
not that i have had a knowledge of any significant heavenly happenings in my time for me.but in the the space of around one year there would be three events that would surely change the life of a young david.i mean this could be coincidence,bad luck,or paranoia,you can decide.
first: our neighbors dog bit me right on the lip,the scare is still there.
second: on a vacation in pennsylvannia,i argued with my 1 year older than me, sister about who would close the car door,dad intervened and i got to close the door.
while he drove down the highway the door flung open and i reached to close it,out i went,headlong into the gravel alongside the road.still to this very day i can still picture that moment,his brilliant white shirt in the bright sunlight soaked with the blood of his sons' wounds. some 38 stitches later the moment of the accident passed but not without scares both physical and emotional. i had thought that they had lessen with age,until a year ago.i needed a mri and the doctor asked if i was claustrophobic,no i said, knowing how terrified i became when i was a young boy,but that has not been for years. yep you guessed it a soon as they got me in that tube it was panic city,only the way i made it was the way i had been laid out on the table, it was killing me,i had so much pain that i could ignore that closed up feeling.
third:................
more tomorrow, well ok as soon as i can.

A fractured faith tale

2008-05-31T12:00:00.002-04:00

They say that hindsight is twenty twenty,is it or do we develop some sort of insight of where life is going to. Questions, questions and more qwest ions,always seeking,asking ,pondering never settling on any one answer,even the truth for which we all want to discover.

The best i can do is to embrace those truths and try to disregard the others (false truths, fairy tales,urban legends and i sure there are plenty of other labels we could give them).Yet as you look through the time line of my,and yours, life. i can pick some moment where things could be very different, should a minute detail change. Yet here i am a half century later still in the same mode, never quite fulfilled, satisfied or settled, like some vagabond with plenty of dust on my feet. Perhaps i have stumbled on to this answer, it's the search, the quality of your journey, this is what really makes a difference.
to be continued

funny how some things occur

2008-05-25T21:12:00.003-04:00

well i'm rather relieved that the park was shut down early, not because the baptism was, i assumed, nixed, but because when we reached (around 3pm) 117th ave the hmstd pd were directing traffic away from the park entrance. tardiness is not reasonable excuse but that is how the (fortune)cookie, sometimes crumbles.
i mean we decided to go anyway even with the flashing road sign said the boat ramp was closed/ no parking. but i heard that the picnic was moved to keys gate,(do you know if you were methodist you could still of had a baptism, they just sprinkle water on your head,but i personally like a dunking.
travis is always astonishing me, that the message he gave this morning ,just are like,too personal,not to notice that the Spirit of God is at work here every sunday.
jesse the music was in sync,with the whole purpose of the day, don't you just love it, when God's plan comes together.

gunfight at homestead corral or what ?????

2008-05-22T06:41:00.007-04:00

what will it be a gunfight at homestead bayfront (just a metaphor folks) or the taming of the lions.
from the sound of travis he is not willing to back off from the use of the beach for the memorial day church picnic.i just need a list of things to bring:
1) camera with charged battery
2) extra batteries
3) tripod
4) picnic goodies
5) brass knuckles
6) blackjack

Not Just Another Sunday

2008-04-14T20:35:00.006-04:00

Congradulations to Jesse on such a wonderful service at 9am, the 10:30 had to be awesome as well. at first i thought (sorry guy but we all do in some respect and not really intentionally) he not as excited as travis,or as factual as paul , for a few minutes but then it was like some body said HEY WAIT this is jesse giving my word hear what the spirit will say. hey i got in the groove, i sensed such an yearning (does not quite fulfill what i felt but, in one word.it seemed to fit) to reveal the love God showed to us through Jesus.

this is way the gospel has always had such an impact on the hearts of everyone who has heard it just like i heard it sunday morning .

i just want to say thank you Jesse.
for if it wasn't for men who spoke the message of salvation through Jesus. no one could hear and believe.

is the race on?

there seems to be an neverending request to see more updates here and to tell the truth they are right on the money. my apologies for being so slack.
so i will try to post more often. ok!
it would be great if i could use the mobile blogger but alas texting to go@blogger failed. :(
it would great to update where ever you are.
may using email but the idea of sending pics from your mobile phone sounded cool.:)

as always i am looking forward to see everyone Sunday at Life Pointe the greatest and best church in Homestead ,where the love Jesus gave to us can always be experienced.

Eulogy for My Old "Friend"

2008-02-18T01:22:00.004-05:00

We met when i was only 14 or 15 years old, the two of us didn't seem to hit it off too well at first but, as our encounters with each other became more frequent, because he was a good friend of Billy, who lived next to me in Jax, Fla, he and i became accustomed to each other. As time progressed we were as constant companions as possible and found new friends together.
Our time together back then was great, it was full of adventure and thrills of all types. Throughout high school our relationship strenghten and we became and an inseparable pair,utilizing our relationship to expand each of our social networks, even after our school days together.
As adult life moved forward, we were always in touch,yet the time spent together was not as pleasant as before.Our relationship seemed unimportant anymore,and as i married and began a family of my own, somewhere around the fall of 1977,i met Jesus,and accepted his salvation for me. we disconnected from each other altogether.
Then when troubles came my way,i sought out my old "friend",seeking consolation, acceptance and companionship.He was there for me, noncondemning and non judgemental more than willing to take up where we left off some years earlier.
What a guy, it was like time had only postponed our time together. I mean in no time at all we were back to be a pair just like in high school, well almost like then, now , things were a little different, i mean socially we were not as compatable as before.
Although our relationship was strained we didn't lose touch with each other.
Even after i remarried the two of us and my new wife/soulmate were a close group.
Over the years what comradeship we shared,never interferring with our spiritual lives, well, as it seemed.

Then life beckoned change,as dramatic and tragic as they were,i came to Life Pointe, now it was certain that my "friend" stay in a closet.
So today, Tuesday Febuary 19,2008 I declare that my friend "the Pack" is dead.
I may miss him but not for long since the truth about his friendship has been revealed.
Goodbye "Pack" i really can't say i will regret your demise.

Sunday reflections

2008-02-11T17:26:00.001-05:00

wow, what a great day(would have been really great to attend the baptism and picnic,sorry guys i did miss being there in person).i got to the theater around 7:40 and went to tackle the display,by the way anyone know what the offficial name of that como si llama is?when i arrived the metal had already been erected,thanks for the help,but i kinda missed the experience of doing so for the first time,got the sucka up in around 40 minutes.i sure it not any world record but bad for a newbie.
since i was early i sat in with the music ministry warmed up and for a change i got to be there when the worship service started.hey jesse,how did you know i am really hooked on foo fighters?
well at least i am lately. what a way to start a day! anyway travis voice didn"t sound as bad he made it out to be,a little husky ,seriously travis, but i am always grateful for the message the lord has to give,it comes in such timely fashion.Thanks, travis ,for being such good servant of our Jesus.
i didn't know if i would stay for the teardown,but God is good and i felt up to the task(woke up on saturday with layringitis) but there is such a great group of people on the hospitality team everything went so smoothly.Thank you all! what an awesome bunch you are!

love

2008-02-05T21:39:00.000-05:00

the subject was love what a mystical thing we call love. It drive our lives in directions we don't always plan to go. Looking back i query that what if the love i've experienced had been different.
would i still appreciate my life as much as i do today? would those lives i touch now and those who touch me be the same? maybe, maybe not?yet some how the course of my life somehow may put me right here as i am now. My six great children,how i unconditionally love them and their children. just as my Jesus unconditionally loves me.nothing will shake that forever.with my soulmate barbara gone on to the eternal,how i long to be with her,yet i live on here. my love to give again as Jesus sees fit, it is my only real hope.
our emotions, our souls are never complete unless we love.
for it fulfills our real meaning of living.
it is because no matter what, no matter how much or how little we own, we influence,we rule,our deepest desire is to be loved and cherished by another.so much so we look endlessly until we find someone.even something will do but only for a season, even any will do until Gods chosen arrives in our life. because of that we see man and woman meander about, reaching at what seems good yet some remain unfullfilled in their life, longing for that special person leaving someone behind at every turn in their lives.
yet he is here,now, waiting,wanting our love, but do we as humans know? yes, we have a clue,yet you and i turn away,searching elsewhere because of what? ignorance,stubborness, blindness,lack of our selfesteen, if only we could just get it right, for he has been here all along, the real Jesus!
