Man oh man, Ron I have done the same thing many times....I always think how big and how tough I am and try to be, but no matter how tough I think I am and strong I think I am I can't help it, I fall to his power and glory and find myself crying to how overwelming he and his power is, tears fall no matter what! He is so powerful and the feeling is so much there in my heart and in my mind....it over takes me! I know he is there, man I know he is there.....there is no avoiding his presents and it is soooo comforting even after I let it all go, I feel nothing but a huge feeling of love for everything and everyone in and around me. There nothing that can explain it!!!!!! Thanks for all you remind me of, we must feel the same feeling at these times brother....Glory to GOD, glory to GOD and his savier Jesus Christ, it's in his name we pray for us and everyone else!!!! THANK YOU BROTHER RON! I know where you are coming from.....WOOOOOOO!!!

STEVE,

YOU HAVE A LOT TO BE PROUD OF MISTER! YOUR GRANDSON AND GRANDDAUGHTER HAVE TAKEN AFTER THE EXAMPLE THAT HAS BEEN SET BEFORE THEM, FOR THAT, THEIR PARENTS AND THEIR GRANDPARENTS SHOULD BE AWARDED WITH A JOB WELL DONE! GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD ABOVE STEVE FROM WHICH ALL BLESSINGS DO FLOW. I FELT THE SCRIPTURE BELOW WAS REALLY A GOOD FIT FOR THIS EXAMPLE OF GODLY COMMITTMENT FROM YOUR GRANDCHILDREN.

PSALM 112:5

“Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.”

1 JOHN 1:4-10

"And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."

WORDS OF LIFE FROM JESUS

HELLO EVERYONE ,I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE EVER SEEN A SUMMER LIKE THIS .100 AND ABOVE TEMPS FOR THE LAST 10 WEEKS ,THEY SAID LAST NIGHT THERES NO RAIN IN SIGHT AND THE LONG RANGE FORCAST SAID PROBLY A MONTH BEFORE WE GET SIGNIFIGANT RAIN FALL,THERE WILL BE THUNDER SHOWERS HERE AND THERE BUT THATS ALL.IF YA LOOK BACK AT THE LAST 20 YEARS THERE HAS BEEN MANY CHANGES IN THE WEATHER AND A LOT OF THINGS IN THE BIBLE HAS COME TO PASS,ARE YA READY IF JESUS WOULD COME BACK TODAY ?I SURE HOPE SO .LETS GO NOW WITH TODAYS MESSAGE..."WORDS OF LIFE FROM JESUS" THERE HAS BEEN MANY BOOKS PUBLISHED ABOUT INFORMATION ABOUT EVERYTHING.THERES BOOKS ABOUT INFORMATION OVERLOAD AND THE FUTURE AND WHATS GOIN ON .THE WORLD IS DESCRIBED AS A WORLD THROUGHLY FLOODED WITH INFO.BUT WITH DATA THAT IS MANIPULATED SO THAT NONE OF IT HAS MUCH SIGNIFICANCE.IF YA TAKE A LOOK AT THE INTERNET OR LOOK AT THE MAGAZINE RACKS IN THE STORES HINTS THAT WE ARE LIVING IN JUST SUCH A CULTURE.WERE DROWNING IN A SEA OF INFORMATION,OFTEN MARKETED BY THE UNSCRUPULOUS. WE ALL NEED EXTRA DISCERNMENT AND LISTEN AND CHOOSE WISELY ABOUT WHAT WE LISTEN TO OR READ AND BELIEVE. IN JOHN 6 JESUS DELIVERED HIS "I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE MESSAGE"IT WAS A SERMON SO CONTRAVERSIALTHAT,AT ITS CONCLUSION,MANY OF HIS FOLLOWERS WENT AWAY AND STOPPED FOLLOWING HIM.THEY STOPED LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF GOD.WHEN JESUS CHALLENGED HIS DISCIPLES AS TO WEATHER THEY WOULD WALK AWAY,PETER WISELY RESPONDED ,"LORD ",TO WHOM SHALL WE GO?YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE.IF YOU WANA BE WISE ,,LISTEN TO JESUS.IN THIS BIG OLE WORLD CALLED EARTHSWAMPED WITH CONFUSING AND CONTRADICTORY INFORMATION,WE YOU AND I CAN TURN TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR WISDOM.HE WISELY CUTS THROUGH THOSE BIG WORDS THAT CONFUSES US AND THINGS WE DONT UNDERSTAND ,AND "GIVES US THOSE AWSOME WORDS OF LIFE AND UNDERSTANDING SO WE CAN MAKE IT TO OUR FINAL DESTINATION..." GOD LOVES YAS , WE LOVE YAS , YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,,,FROM THE RIVERBOTTOM ,,,RON. AS ALWAYS IF YA NEED ANYTHING ,,ANYTHING AT ALL ,,EVERYONE OF YOUR CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE RIGHT HERE FOR YA ,,,PRAYERS FOR ALL...SEE YAS TOMORROW IF ITS THE GOODS LORDS WILLIN,

JAMES 1:22

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”
