1月16日 GODS' LOVECan you believe that it is the year 2008 already?! It seem like just yesterday when the world was all in an uproar over y2k. Well, regardless, we're still here and the time is winding down. I have found it a joy to still be here and be able to tell people about the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the most loving, caring, compassionate leader, savior, comforter, deliverer in the history of mankind. The thing that i love the most about being a Christian is that i really have only one requirement placed upon me by the FATHER: to LOVE.
First i am told to love GOD, then i am told to love my neighbor as i love myself, and understand this, i love me some me, so that mean that i have to love me some neighbors! Being a Christian does not give me to luxury to hate anyone, for any reason, this makes Christianity a religion that is different from all other religions. i am not encumbered with having to die for my GOD becuase HE died for me. All i have to do is LIVEfor HIM.
When i put Christ first in all things in my life, everything in my life fall into place. And anyway, have you ever really felt how hard it is to hate someone? You have to give up too much of yourself to hate someone else, but to love them comes so naturally. i have found it is so easy to smile and speak to strangers.What does it really cost to wave across the street at your neighbor, or to raise your hand at an oncoming vehicle? i see that because i love GOD it is easier for me to love and accept the person that i am and that make it easier for me to accept others as they are. Now the fact that i can love you as you are does not mean that i agree with who you are, just that i accept the fact that you are who yu are and i respect your desires to be you, because who you are does not change who i am and that is the way it should be. Just because i be around people that smoke does not mean that i have to smoke, and because i am happy being a non smoker; being around smokers does not make me feel neither inferior, or superior to them. i am at peace with the path that i have taken, and i am therefore at peace with the path that they take. i just ask, when they get in my car or come into my house, respect me.
Knowing Jesus is to know that HE came and died for the smokers, drinkers, pedophiles, whores and whoremongers, pimps prostitutes, the holy rollers baptists catholics and all the othrs that have never done any of the things that would offend the FATHER. Knowig JESUS is to know that HE saw that all of us, from Adam to the last person born before HIS return was in need of HIM and HIS love and sacrifice. i am glad that HE saw me and my need for HIM and HE prayed the FATHER for me and my salvation, and that make me want to love and obey HIM so that others who may not love me would be saved because i loved them.
ken girls and their granddadthe best thing in an old mans' life is his grandkids. ahhhhhh, the daddys' revenge! my two oldest sons have girls and i watch as they parent them and i am amazed. most of the time i thought that they were paying about as much attention to me as i did to my parents, which as hardly no at all. now there is no doubt that they have paid even less attention to me as i did my parents. however, i get to get my revenge on them and their hardheaded ways by being this loving doting old man that spoils their babies and send them home. oh yeah, i walk the floors with the girls, i hold them, play with them and give them what they want, and send them home and let my sons have to deal with them. i promised them i would, especially after they spoiled their little brother against all my wishes. oh, my oldest child is 28, the two dads are 22,and 20 respectively, and i have a son 17 and then there is phillip the baby, he's 6. well my wife and i are old...i'm 54 and my wife don't like to tell her age, so i won't but she is three years younger then i am. anyway, the boys spoiled phillip and i promised htem that i would get them back when they had children, which at the time seem such a long time away for them, but now the time is now and i am having fun.
now all this is said tongue in cheek, i love the girls and i love having funwith them and i can't wait ntil they get a little older and can talk and walk (well raven is walking) and i can take them to the store with me and other places, but i don't spoi them anymore than i did my own five. they are spoiled rotten. but after the last four kids being boys my wife and i were ready for some girls and i'll tell you this i wouldn't trade my little girls for all the boys in the world. but now i hear the call of raven so i have to go.
