The Beard

Boys start out sweet and innocent. 

If we do not watch it and start shaving, the beard will take over. We can shave every once in a while and become sweet again; but before you know it the beard comes back. If we want to stay sweet, we must shave and shave often to keep the beard from showing itself.

Sin is like the beard. We start out sweet and innocent. When we are exposed to the world our sinful nature starts to come out. If we don't watch it and read the word and keep the sin from growing in our lives we will become accustomed to living with the "beard" a sinful life. 

The word of God is as sharp as a two edged sword. It cuts off the bad "sin" of our live so that we can live healthy. If we "shave" by reading the world of God it will keep the sinful nature from taking over. If we keep our mind on the word and think of good things we will do good things.

How long has it been since you shaved?

From the Bottle to the Cross!

This world is so lost. They look for significance in every place searching for a reason to be alive and hiding from the thing they have done or not done.

They are men everywhere. Drinking their life away because they have shame for how they lived up to now. They drink every time they get sober enough to realize who they have been and who they have become.

Here in Honduras they drink a moon shine so pertinent most often they fall to the ground just a few steps from where they took their drink. With no hope and no one to help them; they lay there in the street or the gutter. Just to wake up and take another drink. Often times they are die of exposure.

They do not know that their Lord and savior is right by their side, waiting for them to turn to him. But, there is hope. Last September God put in my path a man from Honduras who lived in the US from the time he was 15 years old till last year. 

He has 25 years’ experience working with addiction. Sof Alvarez, 42, is now working with us. He came to us as we were looking for a way to help these alcoholics. We are now making plans to start a regeneration program.

You can help these unfortunate men who turn to the bottle instead of to the Cross. Join us and be a part of this great outreach. Currently we are praying for land to build the center.

This center will be a part of the Victory Farms program.

With reverence and respect we Honor

                                                          It is hard to imagine the days when we did not have missiles, smart bombs, and targeted strikes. But that is how it was in the past. When so many took up the call to take out fortified positions with only themselves to through at the enemy. Without body armor they ran at a machine gun in packs hoping at least one would make it alive to stop the big gun in front of them knowing that most of them would not live to know the outcome.

With reverence and respect we Honor those who have, are and will do the hard things. God bless them all and their families.

When life throws a little rain; keep driving.

I drive a lot these days. Well, I guess I always have and it is great when you go on vacation. Usually I have a clear plan of how long, where, and when we will return, but life is not a vacation. 

Often it is more like driving in the rain. We have a plan and it looks a little cloudy. When it starts to rain it is still ok because we can still see the road.

Then there are times when a big truck drives by and throws a little rain on your windshield. It seems so scary and you just want to slam on the breaks, but that may be dangerous. The car behind you may not stop and hit you or your car may slide into the truck. You have to remember where the road was before the splash came and you lost sight of the road. You have to trust that the road is still there. You must keep driving and wait for your sight of the road to return.

When God gives you a vision and you are certain of your path. You have to remember the vision and the path is there. Even when you get blinded and you can’t really see the path; you must keep on going until your sight of the path returns. God has you in his hands. 

He will see you through the storms of life. 

You have to keep believing in the vision and the path. Keep straight and keep driving.

Last night, Melissa was having fun with frends and I found myself alone eating Chinese. I don't usualy like to do things alone especially eat. But this was much needed down time. How refreshing it was not to have the cell going crazy or the computer on. I just sat there. that was nice. Then I read the cookie. lots of times it says things that is superstitious or fortunetelling; but this was just truth. it said.
 The eyes believe themselves but the ears believe others.
 How often do we jump to conclusions that create offences and not seek to understand by listening. I find myself doing this and it is sometimes hard to realize I am doing it.
