I arrived in Dallas today for meetings tomorrow and Friday. My hotel is across the parkway from Parkland Hospital...the hospital where JFK was taken after being shot by Lee Harvey Oswald.
This afternoon I went to the 6th floor museum. I stood near the location where Mr. Oswald shot President Kennedy. The year was 1963...two years before I was born, so I don't have an answer to the question, "where were you when JFK was shot".
Looking out the window down at the road and Daely plaza brought some unusual feelings. JFK was just a man. I wonder what it would be like to be able to stand at Gabbatha, where Jesus was tried. Or walk the Via Delarosa where He bore his cross. Or even to be able to stand at Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified???
I may never have opportunity to go to those places, but I have a blessed hope that one day I will stand in His presence in Glory!

Well, the free six month extension of my "gold membership" expired the first of December...and I survived, LOL. I wasn't scheduled to speak anywhere today, good thing, I woke up not feeling very well. Thus why I'm still in bed at this hour on Sunday typing a blog entry on BC.
I hope all my BC friends are doing well. I'm gonna visit around the blogs a bit...
Let me know how you all are doing!

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!

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...

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 , despising our sin.
Oh hell seemed to whisper, "Just forget it, He's dead."
Then the Father looked down to his 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
