I wasn't raised in the church but started going with the wife after we married.
I eventually was asked to be a deacon at the local Church of Christ. I'm not sure what happened but I started growing away from the church and before I knew it I didn't want to be a deacon and resigned then my attendance got bad, then almost stopped going completely. As I said before I don't know what triggered it but just didn't want to be apart of it.
On June 26 while trying to clear a clogged drain I managed to get crystal Drano in my left eye. I went to the shower and held my eye open and flushed it for 15 minutes. I then drove myself to the ER, I didn't want anyone with me because I figured I was about to lose this eye and I didn't want anyone there when I freaked out.
As soon as I got there they started flushing my eye more to get the PH level down to normal. I will not lie I was scared to death. They used saline a liter at a time thru a small hose. I couldn't hardly stand it so for the first time in close to a year I started to pray silently to myself, I don't know why but I did. I asked for the same thing everytime: for god to be with the folks at the ER that they have the time and patientce to work with this issue, I asked for him to be with my family that no hardship may come because of this and let me be able to accept what ever happens to me.
Well two weeks later I can see and they say it will eventually heal. There is still a spot under the bottom eyelid that looks bad but doesn't hurt. I honestly feel that I was given a wake up call with this deal.
So I have been doing some serious soul searching lately and can see that I wasn't the man I should have been for awhile and need to make some things right.
While in the process of all this process of this my 10 year old son's season ending baseball tournament was rained out and rescheduled for this week and they were scheduled to play on Monday. This is his week at church camp. He loves baseball and was torn what to do but wanted to stay at church camp over baseball because he felt it was more important. I guess I need to follow his example.

Sorry to take up so much space but just wanted to share this

HELLO TO ALL!THE GREAT CHURCHS OF EUROPE ARE NOT ONLY BREATH TAKING BUT INTRIGUING IN THERE ARCHITECUTER.BECAUSE OF THERE MASSIVE CEILINGS WERE TO HEAVY TO SUPPORT,FLYING BUTTRESSES,OR EXTERNAL EXTENSIONS, WERE BULIT TO SUPPORT THE HUGE ROOFS. ALTOUGH WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD I WONDER IF WE ARE MORE LIKE THE CATHERDALS,WITH BUTTERSSES OF EXTERNAL INFLUENCES HOLDING US UP WHILE WE REMAIN WEAK AT THE CORE.PASTORS FRIENDS,RULES,BOOKS AND SMALL GROUPES ARE HELPFUL TO SUPPORT AND BOLSTER OUR FAITH.BUT IF WE DEPEND TO HEAVELY ON THEM ,THEM CAN ACTUALLY DISTRACT US FROM DEVELOPEING A HEALTHY HEART FOR GOD. OUR HEARTS IS THE PLACE GOD MEETS AND RELEATES TO US PERSONNALY.ITS WHERE HE ALLOWS US TO RESPOND TO HIS CORRECTION.SPENDING TIME IN HIS WORD AND IN PRAYER OPENS DOORS FOR HIM TO INTERACT WITH US AT THE DEEPEST LEVELS OF OUR NEEDS AND GIVES HIM OPPRITUNITY TO COMFORT AND CONVICT.AS WE OPEN OUR HEARTS TO HIM,HE FANS THE FLAMES OF AN INTIMATE,LIFE CHANGING RELEATIONSHIP. AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANITY IS THE INSIDE OUT EXPRESSION OF THIS DYNAMIC RELEATIONSHIP WITH JESUS THAT PROVIDES THE STRENGTH TO LIVE FOR HIS GLORY---REGARDLESS OF WHATS HAPPENING ON THE OUTSIDE ...GOD LOVES YAS, WE LOVE YAS ,HAVE A BLESSED DAY, YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,,,FROM THE RIVERBOTTOM,,,RON PRAYERS SENT FOR ALL ..SEE YA SOON IF THE LORDS WILLIN

Jesus answered,

“It is written: "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

"Because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

be gracious to me and teach me your law.

“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven."

Matthew 19:13-15

Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.



BE SURE TO GIVE THANKS TODAY FOR ALL OF YOUR BLESSINGS NO MATTER HOW GREAT OR SMALL, FOR WE HAVE INDEED BEEN FAVORED AS WRITTEN.

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR BLESSINGS FLOW!

"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."


AMEN! THE GREAT COMMISSION WILL BE OUR GOAL ON THIS EARTH AS WE CONTINUE TO PRAISE HIS NAME. GOD BLESS.

BROTHER IN CHRIST,
