New Beginnings

     I have to ask a question of you. Can I get out of the box now?  You are saying what do you mean. Well, here is what it means. Just because you have done something for a long period of time and you do a good job at it people tend to think that is all you can do. When you try to move on when that opportunity is not there, people won't let you, all they can think of is what you used to do or how good  you were at that particular thing. This is what the entertainment world does to child stars from Shirley Temple to Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Some have managed to move on to other things even though their work is on films everywhere.  Just think if Ron Howard hadn't been allowed to move from Opie Taylor to Ritchie Cunningham to the director he is today what a waste it would be. People like Richard Thomas who is still known as "John Boy" he has embraced this and moved on to do movies and other things. He does the voice work for Cadillac and ot...

A few weeks ago, I came in from church and the Lord gave me this message. A Sunday afternoon, I lay across my bed reading and looking these scriptures up and this is what He gave me.  I also worked on it last night. When I finished I got the news about the verdict. This wasn't planned or anything. It was God working through His humble servant. I am not perfect, not by a long shot, I operate sometimes in doubt and fear, but take a monument to read this and we Need to PRAY Scriptures 1 Corinthian   1:10-13                  1 Corinthian   12: 12-25   1 Corinthians 1 10-13 reads Now I beseech you, breather, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it has been declared unto me of you, my breather by them which are of...

     There are some dreams in life you have to let go of. Even though letting go is as painful as having a tooth pulled or a minor surgery, you just have to let go.  I used to have a dream of working with youth. I had to let that go. I did that because the young people in my own life didn't want to listen or have anything to do with me. I helped with an awesome group of young people back in the 1990's . I taught Sunday School for the seventh grade at Memorial Baptist, I helped Charlie Scott. When he left to go on a mission trip I became the permanent teacher for that class. I taught there for almost two years. I have four of them as friends on Face Book. Which I find as a huge compliment that they remember me and friended me.  Several of them went into full time Christian service. After those two great years, the church got a new pastor and single people were pushed aside and the class was combined with the eighth and ninth graders. I saw those kids a few m...
