New Day

This is a new season we are in. Things are moving in a new way, opportunities are opening in new ways. In the church I attend City of Refuge, Pastor Jennifer the CO Pastor is now Senior Pastor at a church in WV. Then out of the blue I am now in the praise and worship band as the lead guitar player. Also a quick testimony, we had a fund raising to help Pastor Kevin Smith deal with some of the expenses he accrued with the sickness of his wife Pastor Renee. Well I felt God tell me to give $1000. I did and did not think anymore about it. Well 2 days later I noticed when I was payed I had not spent as much as I thought so I was able to put the check in my savings. Long story short, with in 2 days God doubled the amount I originally had in savings before the donation. God is good. Bottom line God is moving in new ways and we all need to be ready.
God bless

Memories

This last week has been tough, I lost alot of childhood and growing up idols. I really did not think that Michael Jacksons death would bother me. I was wrong. I started thinking of the times in college when I first heard Thriller and growing up watching the Jackson 5 and the cartoon. The man is gone let the accusations go also and remember the good he did and that he has 3 children that he left and not hurt them too.

Hard day

The writing of this finds me in a emotional quandry. In the last 2 days I have lost my Great Aunt, plus 2 icons of my youth. It makes me feel real old. Farrah Fawcett was one of my first crushes. That poster and seeing her on the tv at 13 on up. Then MJ who I remember listing too as the Jackson 5 as a kid then following him take off and put out Thriller and everything changed. I am shocked and a loss for words for now. I pray they knew Jesus and he knew them.

Memorial Day

On this Memorial Day I take the time to think of all my friends that I have met and lost in the last 20 years in the Navy. I also take time to honor all the martyrs that have gone on. They deserve our honor also. Freedom is never free! Also we need to remember the greatest sacrifice of all, Jesus who gave all for us. All gave some but some gave all.

New Start

New year gives us a great chance to start new. We say good bye to last year and with hope we look for the new one. As a Christian we have that chance all the time, every day you can look forward to what new things God has for you and you can say goodbye to the old life. I see so many who want to keep wallowing in the old way they were. I have tried that and I like the new life better. God bless till next time.
