It's been so long...

[wouldhe]

so long that I never saw it. 12 years I've been alive by God's grace. I wasn't supposed to live, if you judge by the circumstances of my birth. I was born over 3 months premature. By God's grace I survivied, and by God's grace I am free. My mother is currently in jail for Multiple DUIs and Parole Violation. By the grace of the Lord she is returning to Christ. By the grace of God the world goes about its business...

but what are we getting ourselves into...?

I haven't been alive long enough, and some of you older people haven't either. We haven't been alive long enough to remember the days when life was SIMPLE and CARE FREE. When you didn't have psychopathic murderers and rapists running rampant across our globe. When getting high meant swinging on a playground a little higher than your buddy. When the worse thing you got from a member of the opposite sex was cooties. When your parents were your heroes, not Fallout Boy. When your worst enemies were your siblings. When race issues were all about who ran the fastest. When WAR was a card game you played around a table with your FAMILY and FRIENDS. When your family wasn't caught up in all the hustle and bustle of misguided, wordly affairs. When people recongized that there was a God giving them the air they breathed. When people recognized that if your car breaks down and you had to walk 3 miles to work, there are paraplegics who would like a chance for that walk. When all you wanted to do was grow up. When there were Warriors that fought spiritually for God, not warriors who fought physically against other people.

We are approaching the darkest time of out lives, doubtless. We must stay strong in God's Holy Word now more than ever. Let's all remember that we need to have confidence that we are doing the right thing when we're fighting for GOD, no matter what the world may think.

Remember when you all were 5 and the world was a lot better because we all had our internal radio stations attuned to J316 every day? Let's all keep ourselves 5 on the inside.

I once asked a 5 year old who their hero was. They responded.....SpiderMan.

I then asked a 34 year old who their hero was. They responded....Their Parents.

Let's all try and keep what once was in our hearts, and bestow it upon the world so that we may be prepared for what is to come.

By His Name and Grace,

Amen.

Incredible! I know people in their mid 50's without 1/10 that much maturity!

[Trusting Jesus]

I am impressed. There are some youngsters on this board that give me so much encouragement. Bless you all.
