The first day of the rest of my life

Sitting here looking at all I've been able to accomplish in my life. I've been blessed! But there was always something missing. In church you hear all the time of the God shaped hole in your life. Well I did not have that, I had a missing place in my heart a woman! Well one more day left of being single, one more day of going to sleep and waking up alone. Not having the part that completes me. If I have been able to accomplish all this, I have bought 2 houses before 43, had my Benz and retired from the Navy. Additionally prompted to Ordained Bishop in my church and planted a church in Japan, I did that only half of a man now I'm exited what will God do with me now? Er with us now? In the words of les mis one more day, one day more, one more day. Talk to you after I get back, Sat at 2pm I become Julie's husband:)

WOW, what a month.  The times they are a changing. I write this, I am 35 stories up looking at a awesome sunset in Hawaii, thinking of how blessed I am.  It hit me that in 18 days I will no longer be single, I will be married! How did this happen? It seems just like yesterday, I told God I was tired of the waiting and gave up. I was happy and would stay single. But just like God he chose that time to flip my world.  I met Julie and now I am getting ready to walk the last mile lol. Just kidding I am excited. But I digress, the reason I am in Hawaii is not to have a vacation, but because I accepted a promotion and transfer. So I am looking for a house and I think that is now done. 
Moral is just because it looks like it wont happen, stand by and be ready.

Yesterday when I was young

Wow what a month! A couple of weeks ago a true icon of my adult life passed away. Whitney Houston passed then yesterday Davy Jones a true icon of my growing up. I felt like a part of my childhood died with him. He was more than a tv character to me, as a short teenager he was a icon. I looked at this star not six foot five or five eight but five three. Wow same as me! I looked at him and said I'm five three and I can be successful also. I loved the music, the show and always in the back of my mind was this short, British kid living in Malibu with his friends singing they got something to say, and I felt better about myself. Now he's gone and the Earth is a little less fun. RIP Davy you left the world a better place than you found it, you will be missed.

That was then...this is NOW

As I sit here just thinking, I look back on my life. I am content and happy. I realize I am a blessed man!  I think of in Pickens High so many years ago. I have lived the dream. I had the chance to see the world, to sail the seas. I retired from the Navy, that was something I NEVER thought I would do. I work in a great job, set financially, at my relatively young age(48) in March. Have preached the gospel around the world. 
Now in May I close one chapter of my life and open the best one. With all I had I was missing something, someone to spend my life with. God has sent me Julie, and now I get to be what I have never been a husband! I will have my family! I am excited and happy with only one sadness that my father and her father are not here to see this. 
Well like I said I am a blessed man a quote that comes to mind, all men die very few live, I am happy to say I am truly living and Godly contentment is great gain!
Till next time.

Life changes

The last few months have been the biggest changes in my life. This is a new year with new changes I am getting married in May. God has opened several doors in ministry.  I am scared of what is happening to this country, we have elected officials who disregard the Constitution so pray about the election that God allows his choice to be elected.  Till next time.

God bless

What happened to America?

9/11 was a body blow for the US.  Almost 3000 people died. We were hurt and angry we wanted to lash out.  Yet during this I saw something I never thought I would see.  I saw the country come together like I had never seen.  Imagine Democrats and Republicans hand in hand singing God bless America, and the pledge of allegiance. For a brief shining moment we were the UNITED STATES. The world supported us. But then, but then.. The election season was on us, the democrats were still stinging from the 2000 elections decided they wanted to win at all cost. Putting party ahead of country. Vilifing a sitting President in time of war.  Elected members committing what was very close to treason just to put their person in power.  Now it is getting worse we are more divided then ever. I watched the concert for New York tonight and I was so proud, then I came back to reality.  I pray that this country would elect person that would place us over their party.  For a brief shining moment we had it, and then it was gone. 

Christlam and other lies of the enemy

I was floored when I read of a new off shoot that is combining Islam and Christianity to try to reach the atheist and the non Christians.  They say we have so much in common.  WHERE??? What does light have with darkness? Salt with sweet? Because the Koran mentions Jesus name?  Even the Devil knows his name and shudders. People preach Mohamed right in the same pews where the name of Jesus is preached! What has happened to the body?
This has nothing to do with the body worshiping together, I am not a brother of a unbeliever! A group who flatly denies Jesus being the son of God. Who is told to kill us. I will be very clear, Crislam is of the devil! Jesus said I am the way I am the life NO MAN will come to the Father except thru him! Not Buddah, not Krishna, not Mohammad, not Allah. Only Jesus Christ first born of the father. This breaks my heart, its bad enough that the homosexual agenda is trying to force the people of Christ to accept a abboration to God but now the people of God are selling out to the Muslims.  Ten years after 9/11 I see the end of America in sight. Sad not with a bang but with a wimpier.
Mark my words diversity will destroy the church! We the church are not called to be diverse we are called to be separate to be called out of the world and be holy.  The diversity I speak of is not skin color or culture but of sin! Homosexual, Wiccan, and what ever else the ACLU wants to force down our throats at the moment.
