If they don't give you 5 dollars in return for your soul...nope. You're not signing away your soul. Still got it.

During a year long dry spell a stranger told me "You havn't hear God in over a year. (Which was true and boggled me also. ) Then he went on to say "You're at a point in your faith where God has given you what you need to this point- this is God's way of showing faith in YOU. SO stay the course and keep reading your Bible and listening" So just examine you're heart and see if there is any unforgiveness or hard attitude toward others or the poor...keep a soft heart. Best thing I can tell you, and expect God to show up when the time is right and live out of Grace.

@patrick jane No. One of the best things I ever did was leave the church building. My friendships with other believers which are stupid close has been a hundred times more beneficial. Slept in the corner of a church in my truck one winter. Not one person from the church said "lets give you a break" out of the cold. The pastor knew I was there... Thats most american churches, when times are great they will like ya. When the storm comes and life is royally suckin..the american church will tell you its your fault, you need to pray more, go to church more then pop smoke. As believers we need to be the hell or high water we got your back types and then what happens? We attract the same. @Marion-don't go back to that church. Ask God for solid friends who are believers, and before that happens-be a person who keeps your word.. ect. To have good friends you have to first be a good friend.

Marion, prayin for ya bud

I've done some extensive study about that region (and did a tour in Iraq also) Believe things are being set up for some OT prophesy fulfillment- Isaiah Ch. 17 talks about the destruction of Damascus. I believe this sets up the chain of events described in Ezekiel Ch. 38 and 39. Syria is allied with Russia and Iran, in Ezekiel it mentions Iran and Russia and some others that go after Israel. I think Israel is gonna do a whupin on Damascus...hint: this wont be the last time we hear about chemical weapons. Ella it took years and years for it to start making sense to me....and lots of analysis. I made 10 predictions about the region 4 years ago and so far 6 of them have been correct

I love Tom Clancy novels...currently I'm reading a book about Blackwater- they were a private security group that were very active in Iraq

Analytics...yeah we should talk sometime Mr. Gandalf
