1 john 5: 14

As I was cooking today, bro Tony took over, so I went inside to my classroom where I have Sunday school. I started praying for myself as I will be teaching tomorrow. Then I prayed for the teenagers who show up, I started to pray for them one by one. I would pray that God would take this ss lesson, & apply it to there hearts & lives. Anyway back to my blog I was interrupted. As I was praying I looked up @ a verse posted on my wall 1 JOHN 5: 14b "if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us". That word "if", very strong 2 letter word. Have we asked? Will it be His will? I want a house, but never really prayed for the money for it. Sure he can provide the house, but I don't want nothing I cannot pay for in the long run. So I want to pay off my van, & do away with some debt. I am scared of the payment, but God will guide me through it. It will be a while before I can get rid of my van payment , but I want to give my family a decent home with at least 3 bedrooms 2 bath, nothing fancy. If it comes with a garage or a shop that would be awesome. So please pray so He can hear me, or one of us.

Why

Why should I serve Jesus? Why should I go to church? Why should I want to tell other about Jesus? Why should I trust HIM as my saviour? Why? Why is God ding this to me? Do you know HIM? Are you HIS child? Are you ashamed? HUM. Why? You want HIS blessing right? Why should He? Will HE?

Work

Today was a good day, so many teenager @ church cutting grass, The boys cutting grass, & the girls cleaning the buildings, restrooms and all. I was trying to fix the tractor tire, someone ran it flat. It was just dirt on the rim so the tire wouldn't sit right on it. Bro Zeke took it to a tire shop, & got it fixed. Bro Carlos Cantu was weed eating, so was Johnny & I. Bro Tony & Sis Eva brought an army of teenagers, wow, really wow lots of kids. Sis Kim & my wife were cleaning also. Sis Lucy was on refreshments good job Lucy, way to keep us hydrated. Me & Tony went to to put gas on the church bus, just to see how it was running, it runs good. Now tonight they want to cook out, bring your meats, & drinks. Know your cuts of meats. I have to finish cutting the grass in the backyard it is a jungle, Just came in to cool off for a little bit.

Big Brother

Last night J called called to tell me his mother was home from Washington & what was for dinner. Praise God. He was talking to me on the phone on his way to Wendy's or something, then he tells me "oh No, I'm going to get a ticket". I told him "Why man r u getting pulled over or what?". He said," no I just passed the BB light, but it didn't flash". So he might get a picture in the mail. Then @ work today some lady got her ticket, it was a real nice detailed pic. It shows her car about to turn right on red, but there is a yellow truck actually passing the light. So she is going to fight the ticket. It has her car, licence plate zoomed in, & time, it is a really nice pic in color too. he he. So watch out BB is watching you.

Where r the men?

This Saturday we went on visitation, & I was upset because there weren't any men there. I walked to the preachers' office to walk it off, and started to pray. The Lord convicted me, so I worked with the next generation. (Amen.) My boys, the preachers boys & my nephew, Toby, were there. I know some men have to work or do have a legitimate excuse, but those that don't go, shame on you. What could be more important than telling people about Jesus? Tell me. Well anyway, that's another blog. The boys did really good, I felt like a hen watching over the chicks. I told the boys to behave before we got off the car. I Told them to remember they represent the church, & most importantly they represent God. Visitation went good, I talked to some people, some sounded interested, but you know how that goes, they don't show up. Don't let that stop you though from visiting. My boys did a good job, I was so proud of them, when I say my boys I mean all of the boys of Grace. They are not ashamed of the Gospel, they are excited to pass out John & Romans. (Amen.) I thank all of you that participate in visitation, Lord will Bless our church for it.

Some Day

Today was a good day in church & also the fellowship afterwards at Jasons' Deli. When we left,I followed J, because he had no wipers. He didn't ask me to , but I did anyway. When we were on the freeway I was trying to catch up with him. He was in his vette, & I was in my Chevy prizm 4 cylinder, I wonder why I couldn't catch up to him. Then it starts to rain. Now my exit is coming up, but I don't see J, I know he is in front of me, so I am going to miss my exit, it starts raining, @ that very moment a cop gets on the freeway with its lights on going pretty fast. Oh by the way, there was an accident on the south bound side, the cop was probably going to close off the exits. He was flying in front of us, then all of a sudden he starts to hydroplane out of control, starts spinning, he tries to correct it, but it was too late. He hits the median concrete barrier with the front of the car. Might I add, that the hammer lane (fast lane) was full of water, then my wife is calling it in, and they are telling her there is someone @ the site already, and my wife gets louder starts telling their dispatcher that it just happened in front of her eyes "right now". The dispatch thinks it is the same accident that was on the opposite side. I get out to see if the officer is alright , He asks me if I got hit, I told him "no". Then he said "oh you were just checking on me, thanks, I'm alright". So I get back in the car don't know where J is, my phone is @ home, I ask my wife to call J to see where he is @, but he was on Wilson Rd already near his house. He said he saw the cop in back of him so I guess the cop was between us. True story. This happened in a couple of minutes, but it seemed like a long time.
