I AM SO R R Y !!!

I am sorry for telling people the truth concerning eternity and salvation especially when it concerns the testimony of Jesus Christ!

I am sorry for pushing my Lord and Savior towards you in the hope that you would see what He has to offer.

I am sorry that Jesus is the way the truth and the life!

I am sorry that Jesus is the only way to heaven.

I am sorry for every other religion out there that believe the many lies concerning other ways yo heaven which condemns them to hell, for all eternity.

I am sorry that you do not believe you are sinner and that somehow you believe that your good works will take you to heaven.

I am sorry that your sins are so despicable and that because of these without a savior you will go to hell for all eternity.

I am sorry that the wage of sin is death; sorry but that came from God and is not my opinion.

I am sorry that you won't read the Bible for yourself and learn why Jesus died and why you truly need a savior.

I am sorry that I love you so much that I must continue pray for you and that you will soon turn away from your sin, away from the world, repenting and turning to God instead and accepting Jesus' payment for your sins.

I am sorry that I love you more than I love myself.

I AM SO R R Y !!!

Unregulated Diesel and American Combustion Engine Emissions Melt Mars!


I believe that it is time that we send many of our most noted lawyers to Mars to fully investigate this horrifying truth!  Billions of ice crystals gone for ever!  And as it is well known among us Liberal elitist's "water can never be replaced!"

Beginning with our President, His entire Cabinet, The Vice President, Sir Al Gore, along with many of our nations top Eco Lawyers all be sent to Mars immediately to fully investigate this horrific news and perhaps our nation for once and all can seek further laws to regulate this Martian tragedy!  Now all of those Baby Loving, Gun Toting, Bible Believing Christian Creationists finally will have the proof they never wanted that America is in fact responsible for the global warming on Mars.  These Republican Anti Women hate groups will then finally get their much denied evidence and real scientific truth.

Sermon Outline For 2-19-12


Proverbs 22:11-13
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.



One of the things that many Christians struggle with the the authenticity of the Bible. The Word of God, which is indeed truth, the source of our resurrection, the only trail of knowledge which leads to light, life, and grace. I heard on the radio last week someone said that Grace meant “God's Riches at Christ's Expense. I also heard Faith, which is “Forsaking All I Trust Him!” Now I'm not going to try and figure out where that actually came from and who wrote it and I've seen different quotes from the same context or spirit which slightly altered the individual words and somehow captured the same spirit of understanding. But it is that spirit of understanding that God has brought me here to talk about.

Psalm 119:32-34
32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.


Now if you really want to know the truth where is it that you can get it? Can anyone tell me that they've ever had a friend that was always there for them? I mean a friend that never let you down, I friend that neve said anything hurtful to you or did anything that either led you to sin encouraged you to sin or even caused you to sin against them?


Ps 119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.


God promises us that He will in fact preserve His Word He also tells us through many lessens of the Bible that He will always be their for us. As I was preparing the sermon for today I considered teaching on the subject of not teaching. What it was meant to reveal is how as I grew as a Christian, how when I was much younger and not as informed nor enlightened, that it prior ro the beginning of this sanctification process which I believe we as Christians go through. I remember how I once felt concerning my true understanding of God, who He was, especially the reality of His being, my understanding of the trinity, thus Christ Jesus and ultimately His authority in God and as God. I remember that it was not always clear to me who God was meaning I had not completely honed my own knowledge to the point that I held a solid foundation towards both my being able to explain God to others and not just God but in fact Christ to the lost and especially to the misguided cultist religious believers out there whom are both working for the enemy thus trying to cause a fracture and even undermining the spirit of what is Biblical truth.


I was traveling to Charlotte, NC a couple of weeks ago and on my return flight headed back to Dallas I sat next to a man who was reading a book entitled “Once a Bishop, always a Bishop.” I am constantly on the lookout for was to segway my talk into Biblical discussion. It's just how I tick, and I'm sorry to say that I don't always want to do it because I constantly fear from my own weakness of being yet fleshly, and my fear of rejection from others which often gets in the way of my sharing the Word with others. But I said something to this man, and I don't remember what it was, but I do remember that I did what now seems to come more natural and I told him my testimony. I cannot over emphasize the power of your own testimony because God had designed it to be used to reach others. Those you meet which are in fact alike in your walk. I can be used to reach and teach them about what it is that you have gone through. I promise you they too are going through something! It may not be exactly the same as ours yet it contains facets of similarity which touch and condition emotions, and circumstances which reflect understanding and familiarity to them. We were all once scared right? We were all once lost right? We were all once headed to Hell and no one either tried to convince us otherwise, or they just went along with us for the ride! No one, well at least for me, according to my taste, which for me was what was most important. Because all I wanted was what ever it was that I could get out of this episode , meaning my will, while I was I was in the world! I wanted nothing more than to sin and wallow in it! And according to the enemies standard “I was pretty good at it!” Yet it never failed; someone would always come along and try to steer me, trying to knock me off track. I mean I'd be chasing some girl and out of nowhere, someone would come into the scene and just ruin my plans. I remember how when I used to swear, which I had grown to become an expert at, my own friend and boss at the time, came in one day and sat down with me and ruined my desire to swear. “He even had the nerve to tell me that I had so much going for me, yet that my swearing caused others to look down towards me!” Can you imagine that? I mean I was angry! I was so angry, and yet perhaps because he was my boss it caused me to think, and because at the time, (now remember this was also during the time that I professed to be saved) here my wife was yet pregnant and about to deliver my son. And because of the way he worded it. In the spirit of the conversation. I actually began to take head and reflect on what he'd said. I was about 25 years old at the time and I believe that that conversation had a huge impact on my life.

What conversations are you having with others? What is it that you will talk about with those around you? Do you in fact fear man or do you fear God? That's ultimately what we face. We face the world head on. We are constantly at battle in combat with the adversary each and every day, and we have grown lazy. We need strength, we need strength from the only source of power there is, pure, and inspired and that comes only from the Word of God!


John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.



Truth? You bet! One thing in particular that no man can dispute is that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. I am not a pure follower of the thought that it is only from the original language or original scriptures or original writtings. But I do know this. God promised to preserve His word, to retain its truth, I believe that in the English language we can only find that lineage from the King James Bible. I have in fact done some study and have found that in every case, the King James has done the best at preserving the original intent of the message which in fact God had delivered to man. Now I also understand that it is not the King James Bible that saved me or anyone for that matter. Yet I have studied enough to understand that despite the intent of modern authors of newer Bibles, yet they all lack in the spirit of truth in ways that ultimately bring dishonor to God. So remember this, in the English language, today, for me and not just me alone but true theologians of the Word; the King James Bible should be used to back up any and every Biblical conversation that it being taught to our brethren. I understand that other Bibles can be used to draw the lost towards the truth. Yet it is impossible to use them to teach Biblical truth because they all in fact lack. And not only do they lack towards Christianity in general, but are often used to argue the foundational doctrine of other religions, we are talking about false religions! The the point that they cause a weakening of the true testimony of Christ, thus God Himself to the lost and dying world!


2 Thessalonians
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

Counterfeit Sheep!

Counterfeit Sheep!

I was having an intimate discussion with my wife. She and I don't always seem to communicate very well as we each seem to view the world from what seems to be two completely different perspectives. We each believe we are right, and we are each concerned about others, yet we seldom agree. I tried to explain to her just why I believe that I am right and why she also believes that she too is right. Yet in order for both of us to be right, our perspective must be in line with God.

Whenever we see something we must understand what God has to say about the issue. If I am not a believer and outside the church when I look at something I tend to remain in-line with what would be considered a worldly view. Being that my wife doesn't embrace the Godly church principle, she views the world from outside of God's light. SO that being said as both Christians and non Christian view something we will always see things differently. Which is why we saw the same things differently as we each comprehended with the foundation of truth centered on whom we ultimately serve.

I told her about my role while here on earth. I likened it to the job of my uncles while growing up whom were all Chicago Firemen. My uncles actually were legends and each left his own legacy. My uncle Norm "Storm" would get to the fires and would run in and have the fire out before the hoses and ladders were deployed. The other firemen would look in amazement as he would quickly get in and get each fire out before it ever got out of control.

My Uncle Tony was a Lieutenant and he was a fireman's Lieutenant, a true fireman's fireman. He put the lives of his own men, before politics, property and remained a Lieutenant his entire officer career because he didn't play the political game and was concerned with the lives of his men. Rather than the preservation of evidence and the political roles which was required for promotion. Its sad that the world is the way it is and that it is this way. Lets face it firemen are there for the primary purpose of living lives. Yet they function also to preserve evidence for both insurance liability and criminal prosecution should fires be found and determined to have arson and been started for the purpose of monetary reward. Because of man's love of money, many of today's fires are started because of human greed. And as our firemen are sent to these types of fires often they face unknown challenges which are not always realized as they enter these burning buildings.

My other legendary uncle is my Uncle Ed, an "Engineer." He too a hero, but for a sad reason. He was one of the surviving firefighters from an incredible blaze which resulted in the death of all of the firemen from one company that were killed during a major commercial building fire. That story which later became part of the story of the movie "Backdraft." The untold story was that there were far worse fires in Chicago's history. And these fires actually left him scared with a type of guilt that I'm sure he had to deal with throughout his life. As a result of this and because he was an in-law, he was not always well favored among my other uncles as they often told stories about the fires and embellished these with their own spin.

I have likened my own duties as a minister, a preacher, and as an evangelistic teacher of the gospel to be very similar in responsibility as those of a firemen.

Imagine being in a room, in the middle of a building which has a blazing out of control fire raging around it. Because you've conditioned yourself to be around fire often. Even with walls collapsing, and flames tearing through the roof. From where you stand, you have no idea that you're in danger. A fireman suddenly bursts in and offers you help. But you are not equipped to leave. So he instructs you to put on the lifesaving equipment he has to take you safely through the fire with him. You have a problem though, you'll have to strip of all your clothes you are wearing and change into a garment designed to protect you from the flames. Because what you are wearing now, wont fit what you need to put on.

So here's my question; "Will you give up all of your things, all of your earthly treasures, and accept His offer?

Jesus is actually the real fireman in our lives. He died on the cross for one reason, to save you from hell. His death though is not in vain. He came for a purpose and people just don't want to look at this in that way. My uncles were truly hero's. But Jesus is the real hero, and unlike the stories of my uncles. Jesus' name doesn't come up very often in conversation. It's amazing that this is so. He has with Him, everything that we need to be saved for all eternity. Yet that acceptance comes with a heavy price. That price is to much though for most and nearly all are unwilling to accept. Because man has to give up everything he has to serve God. It's a tough choice I know, but one which indeed has to be made within our lifetime.

This is not to say that we cannot live our lives as Christian's and actually remain in the world. But the truth is that living a true God fearing lifestyle. Will result in the loss of many old friends as begin the process of repentance we reject the world and cling toward fellowship with God instead.

Subliminal Attacks

I was introduced to our companies "new" corporate image, while working not to long ago. We attended sales meetings each week which were designed motivate and encourage us to go out there and "kill it." Meaning, to sell our product to the world.

It was during one of these sales meetings that I heard the song "Lose Yourself," by Eminem, which is a song that rather uses dual meaning messages about drugs and seizing the moment or getting psyched up and ready to go out into the world and sell, sell, sell.

In one of the less offensive verses the artist tells about going back to his "Lab Again," which is supposed to mean to make records" but could also mean to make crack, rock, crystal, or methamphetamine's. The bottom line here is that he is singing to a captive audience, "our kids."

Here are the lyrics; "He's so stagnant that he knows when he goes back to his mobile home, thats when it's back to the lab again yo. This this whole rhapsody, He better go back capture this moment and hope it don't pass him."

In another verse he talks about selling his soul to the adversary, that's satan, to accomplish his worldy mission which is all about fame and fortune "bling" if he seizes the moment while it is available; "The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping. This world is mine for the taking. Makin me king, as we move toward a new world order. But superstardom's close to post mortem."

So, are you paying attention to the world, are you hearing and seeing the enemy? Did you catch the subtle, filthy Superbowl commercials? Did you notice that the intended audience was you, your kids, and your neighbors? It is all supposed to be funny, cute, even rhythmic. But I promise you this, it's deadly. Don't fall for the tricks of the enemy. Get on your knees and get your face in the Bible. Just like the Facebook you know about already.

So here's my new rap song...

Turn to Him now, Jesus Christ.
He is the only way to ever get back your own real life, right.

You don't have to wait for the night, He's there right now, and you know how, All you've got to do is move to His groove, which is Holy.

And I promise you that, it won't be only all smack, But its worth it, because He wouldn't have done what He did on the cross, so that you could live. Along side of Him, in a place called heaven, its through His blood, and our believing, which is the only way, that you can ever repay, God for His Son, paid for your sin,

Avoid the noise, stay away from your boyz, and the filth on the street which happens to those you meet, and that don't go home, and that's a long po'em.

Turn to Him now, Jesus Christ. Ask Him to set you free, come on just do it...
Jesus Christ, He is the only way to ever get your life right.

Repent from the world, turn to Jesus Christ...

Yeah, He loves you, you know that's right, He show'd you that!


Pray for the lost. Pray for enlightenment. Pray that it will stick!!!

Ly-O-Lay-Ale-Lo-Ya

TOUCH THIS LINK TO HEAR IT:
Ly-O-Lay-Aleloya, The Counterclockwise Circle Dance

From the Native American side of my family comes this song or mystical dance or chant which is called "The Counterclockwise Circle Dance, Ly-O-Lay-Ale-Lo-Ya." This song, is a pouplar European, remix, or top pop CD. This traditional Native American song is part of a Story Game in which a giant cheats in a game of hide and seek, and steals the prize.

I don't speak Navajo, and I've heard that this is theirs. "We," my families native legacy, come from the Ojibwa tribe (1/16th), we're a cousin of the Chippewa, from the North American plains region. If you look at us you can't see but a trace of our bloodline. Its tainted blood anyway, washed, and righteously purified by the King of Kings.

But none of that mystical stuff matters, this song is a children's story, telling us about a mystical giant, which never existed, its almost like a kind of Santa Claus, but for Native American kids. Someone "entrepreneur" in "Germany " I believe there was one in Norway too, decided to make a new age "cult" song out of it, I believe there was a white man version called a blue oyster cult, the "Pearlman," aka blue oyster cult itself, "more cowbell," which was an enemy slip and taught some "don't fear the reaper." I'll say this no, don't fear the reaper, "fear God." Anyway the next thing was that everybody was suing everybody over in Europe.

Christianity or the testimony of Jesus Christ came to America for the purpose of spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to all. Jesus came here as a free gift from God to straighten out the world, not that of traditionalism, mysticism, spiritualism or even religion. Religion itself is a type of sin...

White man, as you already know, has a bad wrap, and he deserves it. I know this cause I'm one of them.

As we look at the life of Paul we see that he also came from a traditional religious background. Yet this was while he was still lost "or unsaved" and didn't know any better, because he was following the local and current Jewish custom (kind of like me or us before I/we was/were righteously saved). He (Saul) thought and believed that all of the Christian's were crazy (been there-done that). So he went out and was killing them. He like oh, about 90% of all christians (small "c") had not yet been enlightened to the truth concerning Jesus Christ. In many ways Saul (like the rest of the world) was dancing in a backward circle (straight towards hell, both figuratively and realistically) fighting against God.

When you open up and actually read or "study" II Tim 2:15, the World (aka the Bible). We (before we repent) are in many ways a reflection of Saul of Tarsus (which is why God put this in there), because truly; prior to understanding the truth, we were all out to murder "hate" (1 John 3:15) Christians. Because as much as Saul thought that he was right, in his traditional belief (prior to his salvation) there was little about his behavior that was intended to be good aka "Godly or Christian,"which God had already proclaimed to His own people. The true God fearing religious leaders of the day soon learned that Jesus was real and Saul became Paul who became our (the gentiles) segway. Read and study the book of Acts.

God doesn't want for anyone to go to hell. So because of your sin, He offered His only Son Jesus Christ as the only way of receiving God's forgiveness for our sin.

Once saved, Christian man, has been called to be a messenger of truth, a minister. "He" meaning God, through the Holy Spirit, is not just talking to preachers, He is speaking directly to all Christian's!

John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

As Christians, we are all called to tell the truth to a lost and dying world. This message or truth we know, is not politically correct. And the enemy hates the truth, because he hates the truth that he is at war with God, and he's going to loose.

With true repentance or turning around towards "Christ"or in the opposite direction, in which we are now going. We learn to trust God and turn and begin live a new life in Christ (by being born again in body and spirit). One which now includes daily fellowship, true faith, and a well founded and established trust and belief in God, which ultimately means that we are no longer are living for the world.

As Christians we will be led through many trails, tests, and acts of endurance. And contrary to what many believe, these will come, and it wont be easy. our flesh nature instinctively wants to run away and hide from this, yet if we don't go through these tests and trials, it is no wonder why some will never learn or fully grasp the process of true discipleship or Christian growth. And it really all because our spiritual leaders really are leading us in the wrong direction.

I pray that your fellowship in Christ be fervent, founded in truth, and that you maintain Godly perseverance, that you are filled with a burden of conviction, which is founded on faith. As we go out into the world we need to be reminded that we too were once lost, and headed for hell, we were out there like the rest of the world singing, "Ly-O-Lay-Ale-Lo-Ya." Yet because of our new life in Christ, we now need to proclaim the truth to a lost and dying world, we need to tell them about Jesus Christ. I recently discovered a new way of doing this (write this down because it really works) it merely starts with a prayer in the morning, an extended hand, then a handshake, and by introducing yourself, like "Hi, I'm Brother Chuck, I see that;" you're listening to music, shopping, or buying gas, breathing, dying, living; use "Anything," to start a conversation or a witnessing about eternity, and God's true plan for us..." Try it, it really works...

Have You Considered This?


I was reading something about the native Americans and it made me think. There was a message about what white man had done to the native Americans. It really caused me to stir and to weep because when you look at our nation you see a clear image of what man has become and what he has done to this once pristine planet.

As we peer into our past and take a close look at what happened in Genesis 3 we almost see a parallel. Here was man in a perfect place, with a perfect relationship and it wasn't good enough. The nature of man just stinks. I mean this flesh has a way of messing things up.

I pray that the Lord would transform me. I pray that I would not be conformed to the world. I pray that His truth would stick. I pray that I do not have to look continuously as a fool as I must look to Him. I pray that my walk be righteous, I pray that I can be of some use for His will and that I may be able to do something for Him. I know that He has done it all, and I know that I haven't.

I pray that He would continue to draw me nearer. And I pray that I don't stink to bad...
