                                                        Sorry If I am Deplorable I will never be perfect until I reach Heaven. Romans 3:23 says: For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. Psalms 51 says: Create in me a pure heart o God and create a steadfast spirit with in me. Do not take your Holy Spirit from me. So we are saved by Gods Grace....every day or every time you ask for God to foregive you. That may be every day for me and some others. But there is the assurance that we can start over each day new if we choose to follow God's will to our best efforts and have place our faith in his Son, Jesus Christ. To be a Christian is not to be perfect but a lifestyle to pursue righteousness before God. May God bless you and keep you. May he keep you and your family safe.
Dallas Police Tragedy July 7, 2016 ——————————————————————————————————————————— Dallas, TX.  We have witnessed another terrible and sickening event in law enforcement. We are hurt and angry, especially those of us who have been a brother in law enforcement. We don’t understand why these things happen. This is a time of mourning for those who gave their all. It is a time to pray for their families who have lost their loved one, father, son, brother, husband and leader of their home. It is a time to show compassion. We empathize with the involved first responders and try put ourselves in their place and relate to how they must feel. We cannot fully relate to their personal grief and stress. But our letters, emails, presence and support can make a difference. I am already hearing of citizens reaching out to their local police departments with food and notes because they understand we all are hurting for the loss of those who protect us. When we witness tragedies of lost...

You are Unique

Maybe you had a bad childhood experience but God will use you to relate and help others. Don't give up and don't beat yourself up. See my last post below by Dion Todd. You are unique. And you are the generation in the family to break those chains of the past as you live your life in a Godly manner.

Hey Everyone, Here is another good one I wanted to pass along…… Wish I had wrote this. Have a great day Snow Flakes  - - Posted by Dion Todd For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn...

I was once within milliseconds of drowning in white water. (That is another story).  But as I was about to suck in water, something pulled me to the surface and I got a second chance. My only explanation as I spoke to god for help in that instant, he or an angel pulled me up by the back of my life vest. My vest could not  keep me afloat over the strength of the currents.  My wife witnessed the whole event standing on the bank of the river. God spared me for something else. This picture is the best depiction of how God saved me that day.  Have you had a similar experience or feel God has given you another chance? God gives us a another chance everyday.  Just by asking his forgiveness and accepting the grace of his son Jesus Christ, we can be saved from our shortcomings.  Ephesians 2:8  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. We either believe in a God or we don’t...
Happy New Year.     May I challenge you to grow closer to God in 2016? The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught. Isaiah 29:13 NIV 31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 (NIV) 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22 (NIV) Have a blessed day! Chaplain Mark
