Ending of 2007

As this year comes to a end I am so glad. I am so looking forward to the new journey that God has laid out for me. As for 2007 I believe it will go on record as my worst year ever. Even through all the years that I used drugs over dosed and all the crap involved with that does not come close to this 2007 year. I glad it is gone and looking forward to a new year and the fresh breath of Gospel air that only can come from God. I think it is amassing to me that my wife can not attend a Catholic Church service in years and can join some other church, but make the descion on her own and between God to go back to the Church and never have to ask any Priest and Pastor if it's okay if she returns. To me that speaks deep to my soul that one is right and one is a cult like organization and not even close to the Grace of God. I'm gratefull to have a family that Love's me, an awesome wife, and most important a God that Love's me. I could say a whole bunch of things that would not edify Christ so I'm just going to say 2008 could not get here fast enough. The guy that was working on our bathroom that took all the money he could get from us lied to us about waiting on a kit from kohler, I called them and they said there is no such thing and that he ruined any kind of warranty that you had on that tub, so now I have to hire another lawyer to go after him. Hopefully he will allow us to settle this outside of court as God command Christians to do. If he forces me to sue him then that will be confirmation to me that I was right about a whole lot of things...... I have a bunch of doctors appointments next week because I'm off work so I'll see you in the new year.

Who Is this Jesus?

John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going." 5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
8Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me,
Isn’t this enough? It most certainly is for me, Jesus not only here tells us He is the way, He also tells us that He is God the Father also, when Philip says show us the Father, Jesus says Don’t you know me?
How hard is it to know the truth, God loves us especially me because He laid it down on paper and made it so simple that even I can understand.
This is something else that is so cool, most of the time when talking to His disciples Jesus speaks to them as a teacher and friend, but look at this and tell me where you see that He is speaking to them as God the Father;
John 13: 31When he was gone, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him. 32If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.
33"My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.
34"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

In Verse 33 he starts out with My children, awesome stuff. Just wanted to share this, as a part of my daily bible study. Just a note I urge you to know the bible take it to heart. I have set at Church and heard things taught that not only denied the truth in scriptures but I felt denied Jesus too. It is so weird with all the Christian churches all over this nation to set in one, and have them read something from the bible and say this is just a story and not the truth is so strange. I have learned recently with today’s media (internet and TV) that I can learn so much more if I focus, rather than attending any one church. I have listened on the internet from one side of the US to the other in one day and also on the radio. I recently found a new station that is so awesome, the teachings are great. And as long as folks work today you have plenty of time to fellowship with folks that are and are not Christians giving you a chance to witness to those that are not, and fellowship with those who are Christians. God has showed me so much how much he loves me lately, when one thing simply did not do what it was supposed to, the other did. Just open you eyes and look around you and you can see how much God loves us and how much He cares for us. He will push you out of the way of a speeding train wreck and save your life. Even if you did not see the train coming because you loved that path you were going. So rejoice in the Lord in all things good or bad because He does love you and me.
