...Peter and John spoke with boldness...

There is a difference between the Apostle Peter before the death of Jesus and after the death of Jesus for that is when he received the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is easier to see why he denied Christ before His death. It is necessary that we are filled with the Spirit so that when we face opposition we can speak with BOLDNESS.

Book I'm Reading

I am reading a book by Watchmen Nee called Sit, Walk, Stand. Here is an excerpt I read this morning...
"When you fight to get the victory, then you have lost the battle at the very offset. Sometimes we pray, fast, struggle, and resist for days but nothing happens. Why? You are trying to fight into victory, and in doing so are relingquishing the ground that is already yours. It is said in 2 Thessalonians that the Lord shall slay the man of sin with the breath of His mouth. The thought came.. It will need but a breath from my Lord to finish him off, and here I am trying to raise a hurricane."

this is a test blog from my phone....

Funny Story

Beka and I have a friend here in Galion. She goes to church with us and her kids go to the same school our kids go to. When I was on this morning I saw her updated status that said "Natalee is so wishing I could have stayed in bed and listening to it rain but I have things to get done today!!!" So when I saw her at school dropping her kids off I asked her about it being that her post was only about an hour old. On the way out I saw her again and asked her if she wanted to go to bed... ... ... She said "wh-wh-whaaat..?" And I thought she didn't hear me so I asked her if she wanted to go back to bed which wasn't any better. After I figured that I had shoved both feet in my mouth with room for all ten toes - I digressed.

So when was the last time you did something like that? :)) (double chin smily)

Puppies... (hmph)

Marty is my hero

As some of my buds know I was always a big 4Him fan (really a Marty MacGehee fan) for all of the nineties. Marty is now doing a solo album and he posted a bulletin about a year ago to send in pics of yourself and he and that some would be posted on his mySpace page. I saw his page and had forgotten all about that and happened to see me, Marty, Melissa Cameron, and you can just see Beka (wifey) behind us. Some of you are like "Dude, who is 4Him and may seem insignificant but this is pretty cool to me. You can see it on his slide show at - http://www. myspace. com/myriteturn

Memories on a Trampoline

Fall 1993 - sneaking into the gym after football practice and kickin' it up on the Olympic size trampolines and watching my dare devil friend Jim T. land in between the springs... yes - your thinking the worst and that is what happened.

Spring 1994 - Trying a backflip on the trampoline at my youth pastor's house in front of some girls and landing about 10 feet away from the desired location... in the yard.

Summer 1996 - at my buddies house in Canton... playing break the egg... Wade was the egg... we broke him.

This is why I say that we will never own one but let the kids play at the neighbors... Yeah it makes no sense - ok it makes perfect sense... I am a bad father.
