God is Good!!

My son made the transition to junior high school from elementary this morning. Talon was so excited, and a little nervous. He got up, 2 hours before school started, got dressed in his new duds, and was walking around the house with his backpack on an hour before time to leave. It reminded me of the feelings I had while making a similar transition many years ago. I was also reminded of a prayer I prayed several years ago while battling cancer. I poured the desires of my heart out to God, I wanted God to heal, and deliver me from that disease so that I could see my son grow up, and reach the milestones in life that young people reach. Nevertheless, I also prayed that Gods will be done with, and in my life. Needless to say, God heard, and answered, and today I testify. It is a very sick, and evil world into which we send our young ones out today, vastly different from when I was a kid, and while each day takes us closer to the return of our Lord evil continues to grow as well. I wonder if the life expectancy of todays generation is over 30yrs? Anyway, I prayed over my son, asking for peace, and protection today, and gave a few last minute instructions/reminders of who he is, and who he represents whenever he leaves our home, and whats expected of him, and tried not to let him see the tear in my eye, and he hugged me goodbye, and bounced out the door. The bible says to pray without ceasing, which is something we must do over our children, and loved ones everyday.

KICKING THE UNEMPLOYED WHEN THEY'RE DOWN

I saw recently on the news, that employers are not hiring people who are unemployed, in fact; Many employers are seeking potential employees who are currently employed, rather than those who are unemployed. Some businesses are posting on some internet job sites "Unemployed Need Not Apply". When you factor in age, and gender biases, and now this new obstacle, How can one hope to change ones economic status if no one will hire them? It doesn't matter if a person is qualified anymore. That person won't even get an interview. Evil in America knows no bounds........

Would anyone agree that for the most part, the church (body of Christ)is mostly absent in our communities today? How much of the body of Christ (ie the Church) has been rendered ineffective in this society at large, that the examples of the Acts 4 church are very rare, to almost non- existent today? Are there demonic principalities at work in the Church in america, that have built strongholds that are almost impossible to tear down, if they're even found? In acts chapter 4, the church community is described as united in Christ so closely that there wasn't any poverty among them. Can that be said of the Church today? Why not? Are there any legitimate excuses as to why the Acts 4 model of the church won't work in the 21st century church today? I've heard a few reasons, but I want to hear from you. Your comments are welcomed......

What in your opinion is the most insidious in-road had satan, made inside the body of Christ?

Truckdriving and Colorectal Cancer Pt 2

This is part 2 of yesterdays post. I didn't mean to gross anyone out, but I think that this information is important, not only for truckers, but for everyone. Certain types of cancers that normally affect older people, are now showing up in people much younger today. Men in their 20's, and 30s' are getting prostate cancer. Younger women, are getting colorectal cancers at younger ages (survival rates are lower in women for this type of cancer). Also, people who are otherwise healthy, non-smokers, non-drinkers, with no genetic history in their families for cancer, are getting this disease. I don't know if the supplements, and hormones that are in the foods today are causing this problem, or abnormal stress is the cause for this rise in cancer. All I know is that this is a deadly problem, and I'm advising people to get screenings, colonoscopies, and tested, to make sure everything checks out now. Doesn't matter what age you are, GET CHECKED OUT!!, Change your eating habits, less fat, and more fiber. Keep your colons clean, there are many good colon cleansers on the market these days, check out your local natural food stores, or GNC for these products. By the grace of God, I was healed of this disease, and I'm using my experiences to educate you, and hopefully motivate you to stay on top of your health. If you are interested, check out the website hopethroughgrace.org, and learn alot more about this disease.
