I remember the day when I brought home our first computer :) My wife would call her "hewlett" and claimed that I was having an affair... Funny how things change... when I blog twice a year I have to ask her how to change my header narrative... ;)

Well,, I'm averaging about two blogs a year. You know how you start something and see the potential, but don't have a lot of extra time to sit and write. That's me... Plus,, I like to comment on other folk's site but don't like (as much) to comment on mine... hmmm... maybe I should come up with a theme... I'll let you'all know tomorrow what my theme will be... see if I can break outta this rut... Any suggestions? Maybe some kinda guy theme... moving dirt or fixing stuff... :) we'll see .... *tips head back and grunts 'home improvement' like*** that's a possibility...

Hey ya'll,

   Thank you for your prayers,, There were several that applied for the job, and the interviews (of which I'm also not very good at) went pretty well, and in the end they did choose me (and I accepted)! Now if you could pray that I am organized in my thoughts enough to remember everything I am responsible for... there is this long list of the things that they want accomplished and I don't believe they are going to have an easy time filling my "old" position... While doing two jobs for a while doesn't seem like too much fun, I will have to look at it as an adventure..  Thanks for all y'alls encouragement... I truly believe I have the best friends in the whole world.

 

OK... soooo here's the scoop... I found there are three books available at Baker book house in the new book section.     Husbands and Fathers by Derek Prince...  We will meet on Sunday morning at 8:30 and will start this Sunday! (already) AT THE CHURCH....The first one will be to get together and pray and discuss some of the inspiration for this meeting and what is required of us and maybe talk a little about the intro of the book. I understand that some of you (most of you) will probably not have the book by then... but I can't wait any longer and want to get this thing rolling.... Sooo men....step up to the plate....(not the one with food on it)

Concerning the title... My boss always used to say that, I don't think it's  grammatically correct, he's not with the company any more... maybe that's why? but I don't have a lot of grammatical authority... only that which my Northview edumacation can afford (Wow! spell check didn't catch edumacation! That must be a word! That's a WOW ...edulatcation .... Ok,,, maybe my spell check isn't working... hope deferred makes the heart sick.. Here's another WOW... I finished the book I commented on last time... that doesn't happen very often... ooooo the list of unfinished books in my long illustrious career... I'm a changin tho....

Today I was learning how to lose weight on the web,,, sitting on my couch with the computer in my fat lap :) Huh... how'd I get this way?

Well, if you didn't catch it before, I was repeating a couple lines from one of the dramas that was done (really well I might add) at a evangelism seminar for our youth at church... One of the things that was demonstrated was that we have an impact wherever we are, and should take any opportunity to share our joy or strength with others and should not limit ourselves to think we need to "share" in formula of salvation... because Jesus himself didn't "share" in that way and the bible specifically says we ought to "Walk as Jesus walked"... So you ask,, What would Jesus do?
Huh... WWJD... more than a faddish bracelet... Jesus didn't worry about how he was going to word four specific steps to make sure you enter heaven... At least I don't remember reading that :) I'm learning more and more that Jesus was "moved with compassion" seeing the needs of the people and having Gods heart... Jesus said, "I don't do anything unless I see my father doing it" (roughly paraphrased) That will be the key to having a lot more people experiencing the love of our father in heaven. (And consequently  surrendering  their lives to  His  Lordship...) Paul said something we need to take to heart here... (roughly paraphrased again) I don't speak with the craftiness and cunning  speech, but walk in the demonstration of the power of the spirit.. OK... lemme find it.
1 Cor 2:3-5
 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
NKJV
I believe love, peace and joy is one of the best miracles that we can show to demonstrate the Spirit. We are walking miracles to some people, lets not minimize the workings of God in our lives..
