Ever Changing Times

     I ran into someone today, that reminded me of how good God is.  How life has changed for me, for the better.  I did a very light workout at the "Y" today. I am still somewhat congested but wanted to , and needed to do something on the road to recovery. When I walk the treadmill, I usually pray. I didn't walk the treadmill today, I did the rowing machine and some of the others which took about 25 to 30 minutes. I didn't want to do anymore because I didn't want to overdo it.  Betty and one of her friends they were at a Bible study and wouldn't be finished for another 45 minutes. I sat in the conversation area of the Y and started to read a book.

    I looked up and I saw Roger Fox.  Roger and I go back a few years with the work he was doing at the church he attended and other things. It was good to see him .We talked for close to thirty minutes. We talked about the bus ministry at the church he attends,. We talked about my situation and how things had changed. As I talked to him, it became very clear that God had ordered and allowed some of the things that had happened in the last few years.  None of the things that had happened were a surprise to God.  It was amazing to me, as I recounted somethings, how I could see Gods hand in them and I gave God the credit for his goodness.

     I saw two different lives then , the former life full of stress and deadlines, my life now where I could sit and talk to someone and we talk about the Lord.  When he left Roger said I hope I didn't make you feel depressed. He didn't, God used Roger to show me the changes in my life were ordered and allowed. It was like looking at two different lives. I can enjoy the snow now, knowing I don't have to get out in it. I can enjoy the weather knowing that I don't have to worry about staff showing up for work. Whether there would be anyone to put the sports on the air, etc.  I can even enjoy going to church, without being disturbed or having to work and slip into church late. I can concentrate on my schoolwork, study the Bible, talk to people on the phone and take care of the house.  I had worked for 33 years and God wants me to rest at this point in my life.

     I am a slow learner, it takes me a while to catch on to what God was telling me, but I got it. Things change, plans change and you look for things on a greater scale, Jesus will still be there, His love Never Changes, as sure as a steady rain Jesus will still be there.  I am thankful for today and I will continue with my radio daze stories .......

Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row

     Sharon me gave this, I don't know if it is a poem or what. Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row ( sometimes we just need to hear this ) Life is like a theater, so invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is holy or healthy enough to have a FRONT ROW seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. Its amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time draining, negative, incompatible not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships or even family. Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to which ones lean and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill or just staying still??? When you leave certain people do you feel better or worse?? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift rthat lies within you? The mor...

Don't Argue Or Reason With The Devil

I was watching Jesse Duplantis last night and he was teaching on Jesus being tempted in the wilderness in Matthew chapter 4. I was reminded of something that I was working on. I have never preached this message anywhere, but on radio once and I don't know when it ran...  In Matthew 4 "Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness, after fasting forty days he was hungry, the temptor came to Jesus and said, If thou be the Son of God command these stones to be turned into bread.  Jesus  said it is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of  out of the mouth of God."  Satan doesn't give up, he comes at Jesus a second time and says, "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written He shall Give His angels charge over you.... Jesus said for the second time, "It is written again, thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God. Satan didn't give up he came at Jesus a third time, takin...

Class of 1975, I Graduated, Whats Next????

The class of 1975 made it through the Pomp and Circumstance” getting our high school diplomas. June 6, 1975 seems like so long ago, but at the same time it seems like it was only yesterday. SO many decisions that were made that would affect our lives forever. I don’t think that we should hold decisions made by an 18 or 19 year old accountable for the rest of their lives. I was 17 when I graduated from high school and I was a very sheltered 17 year old to say the least. I had never dated. I didn’t date until I was 21. It wasn’t a religious thing, it was more like my mind and my age finally caught up with each other. Some of our class would go to college, some would work and some went into the military. Some would do well in college, some would leave home and go wild, but would eventually settle down into a career, some would marry and divorce, others married later, some would have children and some didn’t. This will cover my first year after graduation, what I did. Some of this some ...
