Well tomorrow is Friday. Spring break will be almost over here at UNCC - seems to have flown right on by with us working everyday. Anyways - I wanted to share with you this evening my disclaimer. I have many avenues to learn things - Internet, emails, people, family, church, my small group and church family, from Pastor Jimmy, people I meet at BJ's and my Bible. When I listen to a sermon or something catches my mind it sometimes really speaks to me and there is always a part of it that applies to me - and in some cases - applies to YOU. I am constantly learning things that God is pointing out to me - with myself, who I am, what I am doing and where I am going. God is taking me places I never thought I would be or even places I didnt know I could go. People are in my life who I never thought would be there and so many doors have opened and the right doors in my life have shut. So as I apply these principles and learn them myself - I am passing them along so that everyone may benefit in some way. Sometimes things can get very personal and my heart shows - but God takes care of how I am feeling and the fears I have of putting myself out here and opening myself up to people and all the fears of what people may think or judge me. So endure with me friends and loved ones - we are in this together and God has placed a great tool in my hands to share my heart with you. Comment so that we may talk and share our views. I don't know who my audience is but I will do this until God moves me to something else.
I love you all - praying for Gods blessings in all our lives,
Randy~
Psalm 1:1
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Reflection of Depression....
I got a chance yesterday to reflect on some things in my life, not that its spring break this week here at work and I have all this time free, but just a time maybe to check in - as the season of change is upon us. I look outward and I see many in my life going through hard times and today find them in hard places to be living. So many today, even our children are on anti depressant drugs because they are depressed or feel depressed for thousands of reasons. Many of us feel this way because of an intense energy output or season of change that we have had to endure but just can't seem to get there. Depression hits everyone, including me, at different points in our lives. Some of us due to a relationship conflict or a break up with a boyfriend or girlfriend or even a spouse. It could be because of a physical exhaustion due to over doing it with work, family, errands and school. Running all the time and you are exhausted. It could come after a huge disappointment in life. Did you know many pro athletes find themselves depressed and struggling even after winning the big game and the trophy is sitting on the mantel? All the years of work and labor and hard physical abuse is now over because they have the prize - now what? They experience that empty feeling that cannot be filled with anything earthly that they know of. Mothers who carry a child for 9 months and now have a baby who is healthy, happy and home in the nursery but cant figure out why they cant stop crying. Its an expectation that we have set too high and when we finally get there, we realize it doesn't make us happy and fulfilled. Its a huge disappointment and a let down.
Friends, life is not what we wanted it do be and how its turned out. We struggle not only with ourselves but with our families and friends and loved ones who are dear to us. I have learned the last year, which is a hard lesson to learn because I have spent hours praying and crying my heart out for you, that no amount of prayers lifted for any of us will do anything until God captures YOUR heart. If you are steadfast in unbelieving - no amount of evidence will ever change your mind.
Depression - its a bad place to be. Its a place you want to get off by yourself. Getting off by yourself is what a discouraged and depressed person LEAST needs but MOST wants. The last thing you need if your're depressed and having a pity party for yourself is someone showing up with cupcakes! Depression shuts out the thing we need the most - PEOPLE. People who love us, support us and encourage us and to give us a reality check in life. We need someone to come along side of us and say "Dude, WHAT are you doing?" You are not the only person in the world facing what you're facing today. There is MORE GRACE available to you if you would start moving yourself to a better place. People are a big part of that. What do they do when the prison wants to break a prisoner? Isolation cell - they are alone and by themselves - they go crazy in there if they are left too long.
I remember about a year ago someone close to me was going through a breakup and the days spent crying and heart breaking - thinking how can I go on? - I am worthless and not good for anyone. This person needed someone to come along side them and let them know they were not the only ones going through this; Someone cared; loved ones were praying for them -Together progress was made ~
Get involved loved ones, Get in a bible study, a small group or a church ministry - open yourself back up to your family and friends and from being isolated.
Evaluate yourself - do you have less friends than a year ago? Do you find your friends only on the Internet and not real {in person} friends? Are you pulling back instead of pushing forward?
When the phone rings does it make you mad knowing its a friend - a friend who you should be glad to hear from? Do you stay at home more and want to be alone. Is your worst nightmare if someone tried to find out what is wrong? You cant bring yourself to answer that question so how can you bring yourself to answer that question for someone else..... your thinking is stinking!!
Are you focusing on the negative in life? God is doing amazing things in your life right now if only you would see it - but you can't because you are focusing on the negative and on yourself.
God is not finished with you - with me - my family - my son - my pastor Jimmy - He is not finished with any of us. THANK GOD! We all have talents and gifts - we all learn things differently and in many ways - this is what makes the body of Christ - together WE are the body of Christ. We are not made to be alone........ Don't ever forget Gods provision for you. What God has done for you and what God is going to do for you.
We all have things in our lives that we all wished were different. The past is in the past so endure and put it in the past - press onward and forward. Being alone and in your isolation cell will only keep you there.
Blessed be Your name On the road marked with suffering Though there's pain in the offering Blessed be Your name Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise When the darkness closes in, Lord Still I will say
BLESSED BE YOUR NAME ~
Its in both the good and hard times we should praise God and thank Him for what He has done and brought us through. If you don't know Jesus - than you don't know what I am saying. Those who do - we can all say at the end of the day - I AM SAVED - no matter what is going on in our lives.
I love you all and I am with you in this as well,
Randy~
Lord I pray for those in our lives who are struggling Lord and find themselves isolated and feeling like they have to fight this life by them selves. I pray for encouragement for these folks Lord and for courage to step out into the light and let people in - to help them, lift them in prayers and to motivate them to reach out. Lord more people than ever in this world are fighting disappointment's and spiritual lows - I pray Your voice will be heard and a touch by Your grace will capture their hearts today.
In Jesus name I pray,
AMEN~

Nothing but the blood...
As Easter is fast approaching - My wife and I sat stuffing Easter eggs last night and talked about all the thousands of children that will be attending our church's Easter Egg hunt this year at a local park. Will they understand what Easter means, have their parents explained what Easter is about and why they are there at the park and getting all the eggs filled with candy? I think about the lives that our church will be touching this day and those who be moved in such a way that only God can move them. Moved so much they wander in to our church over the following weeks. I look forward to God moving these peoples lives so that they may experience Him like they have never experienced Him before. Especially for their children!
God has made each of us important and each of us with value to serve Him, honor Him and praise Him. Each of us in the eyes of God are equal and we have no more value to Him than the next person. My prayers are just as important as yours are. God has made a wonderful and complex system that we have - our bodies. With Easter we think about the blood that Jesus spilled for our sins. How science has done so much over the last century with curing disease and transplants and so many other things. My dad is proof to that with his story!
I am on the call list for the Red Cross, so every time they are in my area to donate. I have a donors card that gives me the priority to call in and make an appointment because my blood has value to it. With all the advances of science today, the blood is not something that science can make - they can't replicate it or make anything like it that would serve the body like our blood does. I remember back when I was filling out my last stage of paperwork to donate and the head lady asked me if I would be willing to give a special part of my blood instead of just giving blood this time. The process takes longer and they only take out the part that they need and saline is put back into the body - this process was specifically for Cancer patients. My mom was just diagnosed with cancer and it was awesome to be able to do this for someone with cancer. My blood is valuable - especially to someone who needs it in such a way to live! My blood is not different than yours when it comes to giving it to someone who needs it. I shared my story about my mom - how for years I have given blood and never heard or took part in this procedure until then - I had everyone on the bus that day in tears. God loves us all equally and when we lift prayers to Him - He listens and even though sometimes in life, loved ones, we don't get what WE want - God loves us the same and we belong to Him. Its not our place to say who gets sick and dies or who gets sick and lives - it's God's place to do that. We belong to Him before we belong to each other. If today finds you with bitterness and you are angry with God for something in your life- your struggles or circumstances - Remember we are Gods children before we are anyone Else's. Gods will - over our own - Give God the praise in everything and be glad He is walking with you during those times we don't understand - WHY.
Psalm 139:13-16
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
Lord I thank You today for the life You have given us, the blood that Jesus shed for us so that we may be washed clean and made white as newly fallen snow. Lord I pray for those today who are angry with You - who cannot get past the struggles they have because they feel You did not answer their prayers. I ask that You give them comfort and understanding Lord that Your will is above our own and if its in Your will Lord, that we accept that because we are Your children before anything else. Help us look ahead and not behind in this life - help us be thankful for all that You have done for us and that You love us all the same and listen to all our prayers. May Your will be done in each of our lives as we follow You and honor You until our time comes when You call for us.
Amen~

Hello~ My name is Pride....
I just had to post this on here today ~ It speaks volumes and in many ways it reminds me of me at times -especially my old self. God took me ~ from me.
My Name is Pride...
Taken from Beth Moore's Living Free
My name is Pride. I am a cheater. I cheat you of your God-given destiny...because you demand your own way.
I cheat you of contentment...because you "deserve better than this".
I cheat you of knowledge...because you already know it all.
I cheat you of holiness...because you refuse to admit when you are wrong.
I cheat you of vision...because you'd rather look in the mirror than out a window.
I cheat you of genuine friendship...because nobody's ever going to know the "real you".
I cheat you of love...because real romance demands sacrifice.
I cheat you of greatness in heaven...because you refuse to wash another's feet on earth.
I cheat you of God's glory...because I convince you to seek your own.
My name is Pride. I am a cheater.
You like me because you think I'm always looking out for you.
Untrue.
I'm looking to make a fool of you.
God has so much for you, I admit, but don't worry...
If you stick with me, you'll never know.

Courage to make a Decision
This morning I wanted to talk to you about Indecision. We all have to make decisions in our lives. Sometimes those decisions are easy to make and sometimes the are hard. Our decisions can lead our lives in different directions and with extremely different results.
Do you find yourself today at a crossroads in your life? Wondering where your life should be going, what you should be doing, loss of a loved one, relationships, careers, your walk with God, maybe thinking of going back to school - its decision time loved ones. Its time to get off the fence and make a decision. The bible does not have anything good to say about indecision. Its time to get off the fence and do something - press forward in what ever it is you need to do and stop riding the fence and floundering in life. One day yes - one day no - Luke warm - your in- your out.....there is nothing good in indecision. You cant experience Gods blessings in life, enjoy the prosperity that God has in store for you, or any word of encouragement that God wants to give you because you just cant make up your mind to follow Him or not. Its a miserable place to live.
If God is God - than follow Him and give Him 100% of your life and forget this in between stuff that has you trapped.
We are currently working on a project at church to get people connected - serving and prospering in their faith and walk with Christ. There is a meaning and satisfaction of being accepted, being connected and part of a family that loves you and you're all working for the same God and His mission - team work. Some folks, including me for years, just went to church and listened - then left until the next week. There is purpose and meaning that is so awesome to experience when you begin to serve, get connected to the church's purpose and have a church family around you. How can I not want you to experience this? How can I be still and be quiet knowing this is something everyone can experience? Get off the fence and make a decision that will change your life? Think bigger and put your goals high and be "All in" instead of floundering, just getting by and the ho-hum that life has you in.
1 Corinthians:
Thanksgiving 4I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5For in him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— 6because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. 7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
Lord I pray today for the person today who is struggling with a decision - I pray for the courage that they may need to press through and get off the fence with whatever they are struggling with. Lord I pray for those who are not serving in their church and taking the steps to grow and get connected with others so that they may experience You in an amazing way. I pray for those who are not giving You 100% Lord and are experiencing You today with a love that is far above anything this world can offer.
Amen~

HAM for everyone!
I have a few things to share with y'all this morning. First off - I want to tell ya that my wife is awesome! She had such a great day Sunday - working Sunday school and being with all the kids, going to school this morning and helping our sons teacher with the assignments for the week, her dedication to family and her sometimes big ideas that take on a life all their own. When my wife thinks big - she really thinks big and I do mean with everything she does. Nothing is done half way and she only wants the best out of everything and out of everyone. She is organized!! Look at her dedication and passion she has in her life for what is important to her! Last night when I got home from work - She got a ham on sale and out of the oven it came. After looking at it - I was wondering if the homeless in our county needed some ham. PLEASE - I beg of you to come and get some ham. Anyone that doesn't want to cook tonight or needs a plate of food - please call me and arrange a drop off time from the Meals on Wheels from Oldham Ct... ! That's the street name - not us giving away OLDHAM.
Anyways - my wife is awesome - She has a big heart and sometimes her giving has some funny endings. Just like the time the meat guy came to the house and I had to get a freezer in 28 minutes to pack it all in. Life is fun - if we just try to enjoy and smile - let things roll off our shoulders - and learn to laugh at ourselves.
Maybe next time we can arrange a ham sale with our church's BBQ sale!
Got to love her......

Discovery Channel - Found Jesus.....
Yea Right - and coming from a professor right here where I work! Hello!!! Jesus is not in there - they have DNA - compare it to what and with whom?
I sat last night with my wife and was amused at this science that us humans always have to prove something. We just take it hook line and sinker. My wife asked me why we were watching this and I told her I wanted to hear the arguments. I wanted to hear what people will just believe because its on TV. How many will not talk to someone about it, attend a church or open a bible and read the truth - but they choose to believe because its on TV. HELLO - they found the bone boxes 20 years ago - why didnt they give us this information then? Sure they make it all believable - give some family facts of the blood line of Jesus, Mary and Joseph - who would not be sucked in? People are searching for real things, life transformation and meaning to life. Sorry, cant get it from a TV show with possible facts thrown out there for people to think are concrete evidence.
Jesus is alive - wont be finding any bones in that box - end the search party. I guess all the answered prayers, changed lives and miracles over the last 20 years is all fake.
If God calls for me sooner than when the time He comes for all of us - I pray I am sitting with my church family, my rock group and hopefully one day my family and the loved ones of my wifes family - all together - with a bible in our hands.......
when this happens:
"And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:11-16)
A glorious day that one day will happen. Ready or not...... turn the garbage off on tv and read the truth for yourselves.

People are searching for real things, life transformation and meaning to life. Sorry, cant get it from a TV show with possible facts thrown out there for people to think are concrete evidence.
Jesus is alive - wont be finding any bones in that box - end the search party. I guess all the answered prayers, changed lives and miracles over the last 20 years is all fake.
If God calls for me sooner than when the time He comes for all of us - I pray I am sitting with my church family, my rock group and hopefully one day my family and the loved ones of my wifes family - all together - with a bible in our hands.......
when this happens:
"And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:11-16)
A glorious day that one day will happen. Ready or not...... turn the garbage off on tv and read the truth for yourselves.
