To you who has befriended me through this wonderful God inspiring web site,
`First allow me to ask “how has everyone been??” I do so apologize that I haven’t been here in a while; but, these summer days have me busy with a lot of running around on one day, and recovery the next. I pray that all of you are enjoying this wonderful season of spiritual growth with in your lives; but, if you are not, and find your self some what in a ditch of growing despair, take heart for your redemption is near.
I have to be honest and say that these last few years have had their trying moments for me; but, God has sustained me through it all (I believe there is a hymn that speaks about “Through it all”).
Christy thanks sooooo much for the inspiring verses that you send. God has really given you a ministry there; hope you maintain it, for you are a light in this darken world. But, I believe I have said this to you before…I hope you don’t get tired of hearing it.
Ken and Carla, sorry neither of you were able to make it to kingdombound; to tell you the truth you didn’t miss much. Hopefully next year will be better. O’ don’t get me wrong, there were some inspiring moments; however, there wasn’t enough diversity for me as far as speakers went on their subject matters, and a few of my favorite groups didn’t make the selection list either ( such as Selah). But, the trip was worth it, just being in an environment of believers gives a comfort to the soul. So, if you are able, do pack up the families and go. Carla there was an abundance of Canadian’s there, in fact our trailer mate was Canadian, and to represent both countries we had the Canada flag with blue and white lights decorating our site. Ken, what probably would of given you joy is te numerous prospects of getting writing contracts from some of the speakers, everyone had a book to offer.
Callie you definitely have been on the quite side of the e-mail, what’s been going on in your world, and how is the Fam???
Nienie, I have been keeping your friend in prayer, and hope things have turned to the better.
Kathleen, what a gem you are as well. I have found your ministry to be a cup of water to a dry soul; and as you may know—the word says “If any of you offer a prophet a drink of water, you will receive a prophet’s reward. AMEN!!!
Please you all. Keep me abreast to your prayer needs, I am desiring more time with the LORD, and the thought of being on my knees for your needs, brings me much joy.
Last, but in no means least, Hi MaMa--ROO, how you be suga bee??? Looking forward to having dinner with you tomarrow. Please don't forget.
Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."
The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.
One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need that much , but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.
Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition.
not about work!
Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time.
You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile , Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!
Hello,
This is Mr. Chiranjib Chatterjee from India. I am working in Campus crusade for Christ as a full time worker from June 1999. I love to serve God and help the needy.
I would like to be your friend.
Please reply soon.
Ending with love and prayer.
Yours in Him

NOW THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE THAT WE HAVE IN HIM,
THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE
HEARS US. AND IF WE KNOW THAT HE HEARS US,
WHATEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE
PETITIONS THAT WE HAVE ASKED OF HIM.
( 1 JOHN 5:14-15 *NKJV )
We often find ourselves to busy to stop and say a prayer
when we have a rough day. In this life everything seems like
it has to be accomplished A.S.A.P. So we often forget to
speak to God in prayer about it before we react.
Therefore one must remember that; THE PRAYER OF A
RIGHTEOUS MAN IS POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE!.
( JAMES 5:16 *NIV ) More powerful and more effective than
anything else on this Earth, even when we must react
As Soon As Possible.
Now friend, have you ever wondered about the
abbreviation A.S.A.P.? Generally we think of it in terms
of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we
think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will
begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days
along the way...
So when.......
There's work to do, deadlines to meet;
You've got no time to spare,
But as you hurry and scurry-
ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER
In the midst of family chaos,
"Quality time" is rare.
Do your best; let God do the rest-
ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.
It may seem like your worries
Are more than you can bear.
Slow down and take a breather-
ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER
God knows how stressful life is;
He wants to ease our cares,
And He'll respond to all your needs
A.S.A.P. - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.
THE ENEMY’S STRATEGY
Do you know how satan deceive the children of God?
Here are just some of his scheme that he use to
christian community. You can see how clever satan is
and christian must be aware of satan's schemes and
cleverness. be aware of it. You might already been a
victim of satan's scheme. Be on guard always! Learn
his schemes for you not to be caught unaware.
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.
In his opening address he said,
"We can't keep Christians from going to church."
"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and
knowing the truth."
"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate
relationship with their saviour."
"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our
power over them is broken."
"So let them go to their churches; let them have
their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so
they don't have time to develop a relationship with
Jesus Christ.."
"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:
"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour
and maintaining that vital connection throughout
their day!"
"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and
invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds,"
he answered.
"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow,
borrow, borrow."
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and
the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours
a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."
"Keep them from spending time with their children."
"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will
offer no escape from the pressures of work!"
"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear
that still, small voice."
"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player
whenever they drive." To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and
their PCs going constantly in their home and see to
it that every store and restaurant in the world
plays non-biblical music constantly."
"This will jam their minds and break that union with
Christ."
"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and
newspapers."
"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."
"Invade their driving moments with billboards."
"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order
catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter
and promotional offering free products, services and
false hopes.."
"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and
TV so their husbands will believe that outward
beauty is what's important, and they'll become
dissatisfied with their wives. "
"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at
night."
"Give them headaches too! "
"If they don't give their husbands the love they
need, they will begin to look elsewhere."
"That will fragment their families quickly!"
"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from
teaching their children the real meaning of
Christmas."
"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about
his resurrection and power over sin and death."
"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."
"Have them return from their recreation exhausted."
"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect
on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks,
sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies
instead."
"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"
"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship,
involve them in gossip and small talk so that they
leave with troubled consciences."
"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they
have no time to seek power from Jesus."
"Soon they will be working in their own strength,
sacrificing their health and family for the good of
the cause."
"It will work!"
"It will work!"
It was quite a plan!
The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing
Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed,
going here and there.
Having little time for their God or their families.
Having no time to tell others about the power of
Jesus to change lives.
I guess the question is, has the devil been
successful in his schemes?
You be the judge!!!!!
Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?
One step at a time is the best way to go
When going through life and traveling in the direction of your dreams
The best way to get ahead is the simpliest way:
Take one step at a time
Don’t look over your shoulder
If you do, you’ll feel the weight of all your yesterdays upon you
And don’t worry about what lies ahead
By the time you get to the bend in the road or the crest of the hill
You’re going to be better and stronger than you ever were before
Just go one step at a time
One day at a time
And you’ll find a rich, thankful life you never thought you could afford….

I praise God for the young people of today, some of whom I have watched grow up and go from rebellious attitude to tremendous witnesses for Christ. I'm attaching a mailing I received from one such young man who is the great grandson of my cousin. Although I've never met him face to face I do feel a special connection with him by virtue of the words of God that he forwards to me each day. I am posting a message that he sent to me that gives us a great example of where and how to evangelize. I trust you will enjoy it as much as I have.

The Word of God:
"There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. And when they had come to the place called Calvary ; there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots." (Luke 23:32-34)
Soldiers: Ignorant Mockery
The Roman soldiers who crucified Jesus went out of their way to humiliate Him before His death. Not satisfied with the physical torment they inflicted on him, they also mocked Him in blasphemous ways (Matthew 27:27-31). To them, Jesus was simply another condemned prisoner who they were free to abuse as much as they pleased-a prisoner who claimed to be some sort of king.
First, the soldiers stripped Him of His garment and draped Him with a scarlet robe. Scarlet was apparently the closest the soldiers could come to purple-the traditional color of royalty. Then they wove a crown of thorns and thrust it on His head, mimicking the wreath that Caesar wore on official occasions. They placed a reed in His right hand as if it were a monarch's scepter that symbolized authority and power. The low point of their ridicule came when they kneeled before Him and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" spat on Him, and beat Him with their fists. Their actions all were designed to expose Jesus for the fraud He supposedly was.
The world is full of people today who are like those soldiers of old. Many people laugh at even the thought of Jesus, seeing Him as a joke. They simply don't know who they are callously rejecting. What do you do with people like that? Follow Jesus' example. "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34). And God answered Jesus' prayer. When they saw how He died, only hours after they had mocked him, the Roman soldiers exclaimed, "Truly this was the Son of God!" (Matthew 27:54).
Don’t give up on those who mock Christ when you share your faith, God is able to turn their hearts to saving faith in the most surprising ways. Attributed to John MacArthur
Wisdom for the Journey:
I argue that the cross be raised again at the center of the marketplace as well as on the steeple of the church. . . . that Jesus was not crucified in a cathedral between two candles, but on a cross between two thieves; on the town garbage heap; at a crossroads so cosmopolitan that they had to write his title in Hebrew and Latin and in Greek; at the kind of place where cynics talk smut, and thieves curse, and soldiers gamble: Because that is where he died. And that is what he died about . . . that is where churchmen should be and what churchmen should be about. George MacLeod
