Some things never change...	Sep 29, 2008 6:57 pm 129 Views
I stopped by to night to see what's going on around the BC blogs. I learned I'm white chocolate and since I wash my face first in the shower I always think about money. Some interesting information here. Also found out that weeds grow in the gardens down under too! A bit of red-neck advice: Round-up works wonders! Visited a few blogs and read some inspiring words of wisdom. I miss the interactions here, but God knew what He was doing when He told me to get out from in front of the computer. LOL I've been going to the gym for the past five weeks. It feels good to take time for myself again. I feel better than I have in years...other than my muscles being sore all the time now. An interesting twist, I started dating my trainer. Definitely out of my league, lol. I'm staying busy preaching - schedule is staying full nearly two months in advance. Don't have an opening until November 9th. My nephew broke his ankle two weekends ago, this past weekend a dear friend of mine wrecked his motorcycle and busted his femur and some ribs. A member of the church I use to pastor fell from his barn and broke his hip the same morning and my former wife fell and broke both her legs that afternoon. Then, on Monday my Dad was charged by a cow and broke 5 ribs and separated his AC joint. All this to say I decided to make some changes in my life: sold my motorcycle, I'm staying off ladders and avoiding the farm! No matter what happens, God is good...all the time...that never changes Hope all is well with all my BC friends!

For Perilous Times Such as This	Jul 2, 2008 8:09 pm 303 Views
My Anchor Holds by Ray Boltz I have journeyed Through the long dark night Out on the open sea By faith alone Sight unknown And yet His eyes were watching me The anchor holds Though the ship is battered The anchor holds Though the sails are torn I have fallen on my knees As I faced the raging seas The anchor holds In spite of the storm I’ve had visions I’ve had dreams I’ve even held them in my hand But I never knew They would slip right through Like they were only grains of sand The anchor holds Though the ship is battered The anchor holds Though the sails are torn I have fallen on my knees As I faced the raging seas The anchor holds In spite of the storm I have been young But I am older now And there has been beauty these eyes have seen But it was in the night Through the storms of my life Oh, that’s where God proved His love to me The anchor holds Though the ship is battered The anchor holds Though the sails are torn I have fallen on my knees As I faced the raging seas The anchor holds In spite of the storm

As Satan was celebrating...	Jun 27, 2008 7:44 pm 409 Views
Joseph said, "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." Genesis 50:20 Job said, "I know that You can do everything, and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from you...I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You. And the Lord restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning" Job 42:2,5,10,12 (I could go on) And as Jesus lay in the tomb, and Satan was dancing with glee, the Father said, "Arise my Love"...and the rest is HIStory! Read the lyrics to one of my favorite songs as recorded by Newsong: Not a word was heard at the tomb that day. Just shuffling of soldiers feet as they guarded the grave. One day, two days, three days had past. Could it be that Jesus breathed his last? Could it be that his Father had forsaken him? Turned his back on his son, despising our sin. Oh hell seemed to whisper, "Just forget it, He's dead." Then the Father looked down to his son and he said.. Arise, My love. Arise, My love. The grave no longer has a hold on you No more death sting No more suffering Arise...Arise...my love. The Earth trembled and the tomb began to shake, and like lightening from Heaven The stone was rolled away. And this dead man the guards they all stood there in fright As the power of love displayed its might And suddenly a melody filled the air Riding wings of wind, it was everywhere The words of creation had been longing to hear. The sweet sound of victory, so loud and clear. Arise, my love. Arise, my love. The grave no longer has a hold on you. No more death sting no more suffering Arise...arise.... Sin, where are your shackles? Death, where is your sting? Hell; has been defeated. The grave will not hold, the king. Arise, my love. Arise, my love. Arise....Arise....Arise

AND NEXT TO HIM	Jun 19, 2008 5:32 pm 378 Views
Ever read the third chapter of Nehemiah. It's one of those chapters we often quickly skim through. It lists name after name of people repairing the gates and wall of Jerusalem. There several things to note as you read this chapter...some were found repairing more than one section of the wall (example in v 21, 27, 30), even young girls were found doing the work (v. 12). Clearly not everyone helped (v. 5) The main thing I want to point out in this chapter is the repeated refrain "and next to them/him". That phrase (along with "after them/him") is used thirty-two times in this chapter. When the need was greatest, God's people came shoulder to shoulder to bear the burden. What beautiful imagery of working together. Even though some didn't participate (as always will be the case), the majority came together for the Lord's work. "Bear one another's burden's and so fulfill the law of Christ" Galatians 6:2 It's time we get to work, for the work is great. We read in the last part of verse 18 in chapter 2 "...So they said, 'Let us rise up and build.' Then they set their hands to this good work. Let us rise up and build. People need somebody next to them helping rebuild their broken lives...lift someone up...speak into their life words of encouragement and hope. Are you tearing down or building up?

Hair Mixer Confusion	Jun 17, 2008 5:17 am 565 Views
As most of you know, I've been spending more time away from BC lately. I stop in to visit occasionally...and low and behold many of you have really "changed" LOL. I have a suggestion to make - everybody should place their picture on the same model and really confuse BC visitors...and members too! It's kinda confusion knowing who is real and who is not...

Checking in...	Jun 16, 2008 11:41 am 593 Views
I start my new job Wednesday. With God's sense of humor, my office will be one floor, directly below where I previoiusly worked. I will continue with my current consulting job also. It will work nicely as it too is in the same building. God is good! I spent most of the weekend with all three boys. We camped beside Lake Barkley. We had fun doing a lot of nothing...a little fishing, some jet skiing, and enjoying the quiet. I preached Sunday morning and then we went to my parents for lunch. Just wanted to give my BC friends an update. Going to go visit some blogs and see what's been going on here...

It was late and not as planned, but we got the wedding done...	Jun 8, 2008 6:11 pm 624 Views
Some time ago my nephew asked me to perform his wedding ceremony yesterday. The wedding was in a little town south west of Terre Haute, IN. You may have seen in the news where they received over 10" of rain over Friday night resulting in power outages and a lot of flooding. Many family and friends were unable to get to the church - which didn't have power until a few hours before the wedding. Included in those unable to make it were the pianist and violinist. We delayed as long as they could because Andrew was going to sing to Erica (as a surprise) during the ceremony - and they were going to be the accompaniment for his song. They eventually found a way to get to the church - after most everybody had departed for the reception. But fortunately, several people were still there for pictures as he sang to his bride. Christ was honored in the ceremony and I am certain He will be in their marriage also. Just wanted to share...

~~~~Praise Report!!!~~~~	Jun 4, 2008 8:03 pm 860 Views
I was offered a job the last week of May with an uncertain start date. I was excited about the opportunity, but the uncertain start date was a little concerning and delayed my accepting the job. I received a call yesterday inviting me to an interview this afternoon at 5:15. The interview went really well and I left at 6:40. I barely got out of the parking lot at 6:46 when my cell phone rang offering me the job. The amazing thing is that the severance agreement with my old job included a six month non-compete. Take a guess when the non-compete ended...TODAY!!! Do you think our Heavenly Father has things in control? Thank You and praise You Father! I'm sorry my faith was a little thin a few times over the past six months. You are an awesome God!!!
