  • Update On Dorky and Toto

    Hey everyone!  How are you?  I have not been on here is quite awhile.  It looks like I will be changing my site name sometime soon.  My little Toto died a week ago today.  I miss her, she was a very loyal, faithful friend.

    I am in Stillwater, Oklahoma and I am doing great.  I am able to go to church on Saturday nights and on Sunday mornings.  Boy howdy, do I need to be in church.  You can get a lot from watching online but it is not the same.  It is like the difference from eating an appetizer as your full meal compared to an actual full meal.  I was starving for the presence of God, you have to go to church to be fully spiritually fed.  So, I am going to church on Saturday and on Sunday's for the time that I am here.  I also am listening to the Faith Life Seminar that Word of Life Church had last week.  I am feeding my starving faith with everything I can during this time in Stillwater.  I am pumping up on the word of God, the fellowship of God and His people, prasing God in His sancturay, the hearing of the Word and I am going go on in Jesus.  I am so excited for what God is doing right now in my life.  Answered prayer!  I am not coming back to Missouri until I get a word from God.  And God still speaks to His people including me, I am tuning my ears to hear.

    Blessings to you all.  Praying for you.  Thank you my friends for being there.  You all are a blessing to me.  I am so thankful for xanga.

    Grace to you!

  • Never Cast Out

    Hello everyone!  Here is a devotional that I read today and I thought it might bless others as well.  Grace to you all and many blessings!


    Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.  John 6:37

    Is there any instance of our Lord's casting out a coming one?  If there be so, we would like to know of it;  but there has been none, and there never will be.  Among the lost souls in hell there is not one that can say, "I went to Jesus and He refused me."  It is not possible that you or I should be the first to whom Jesus shall break His word.  Let us not entertain so dark a suspicion.

    Suppose we go to Jesus now about the evils of today.  Oh, this we may be sure of--He will not refuse us audience or cast us out.  Those of us who have often been and those who have never gone before--let us go together, and we shall see that He will not shut the door of His grace in the face of any one of us.

    "This man receiveth sinners," but He repulses none.  We come to Him in weakness and sin, with trembling faith, and small knowledge, and slender hope;  but He does not cast us out.  We come by prayer and that prayer broken;  with confession, and that confession faulty;  with praise, and that praise far short of His merits;  but yet He receives us.  We come diseased, polluted, worn out, and worthless;  but He does in no wise cast us out.  Let us come again today to Him who never casts out.

    Grace to you!

  • Cast An Anchor

    A Christian may for many days together see neither sun nor star, neither light in God's countenance, nor light in his own heart, though even at that time God darts some beams through those clouds upon the soul;  the soul again by a spirit of faith sees some light through those thickest clouds, enough to keep it from utter despair, though not to settle it in peace.  In this dark condition, if they do as Paul and his company did, cast an anchor even in the dark night of temptation, and pray still for day, God will appear, and all shall clear up, we shall see light without and light within;  the day-star will arise in their hearts.

  • Keep On Keepin' On

    This is for Isaac, thank you and keep your chin up.

    Sorry to all because I have not been on xanga hardly at all, I have thought of you often and I pray that everyone is doing good.

    I received the following quote in my email devotions today,  it is so good and timely for me, I had to post it.


    The faith that relentlessly asks God, also pleases God. Now, as the
    fullness of the times unfolds, as the world around us clothes itself in
    prophetic fulfilments, let us put away fear and repent of withdrawal.

    Francis Frangipane


    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

  • Press On

    The more a true saint loves God with a truly gracious love, the more he desires to love Him, and the more miserable he is at his lack of love to Him. The more he hates sin, the more he desires to hate it. The more he mourns for sin, the more he longs to mourn for it. The more his heart is broken for sin, the more he prays that it may be far more broken. The more he hungers and thirsts after God, the more he faints and fails in seeking after God. Forgetting those things that are behind, he reaches forth to those things that are before. He ever presses toward the far-off mark.

    Jonathan Edwards

  • Around The Block

    I've been around the block enough to know, I don't want to go.

    A Church on every corner, full of words, full of wisdom, where is the love that is suppose to show?

    In a world as cold as ice, Christian hands, Christian feet, where is the love I long to meet?

    Breathe life into me, come on, I'm talking to you, breathe life into me.

    Dear Jesus, help us to get it right, nothing is as important as this;

    Love the Lord with all your heart and love your neighbor too.

    Dear Jesus, teach us how to be Your hands, Your feet, to show Your love in all we say and do.

  • A FAIRY TALE FOR FRIDAY

    Ever feel like a frog?  Frogs feel slow, low, ugly, puffy, drooped, pooped.  I know.  One told me.  The frog feeling comes when you want to be bright but feel dull.  You want to share but are selfish.  You want to be thankful but feel resentment.  You want to be big but are small.  You want to care but are indifferent.  Yes, at one time or another each of us has found himself on the lily pad floating down the river of life.  Frightened and disgusted, but to froggish to budge.

    A FAIRY TALE:  Once upon a time there was a frog.  But he wasn't really a frog.  He was a prince who looked and felt like a frog.  A wicked witch had cast a spell on him.  Only the kiss of a beautiful young maiden could save him.  But since when do cute chicks kiss frogs?  So there he sat - unkissed prince in frog form.  BUT MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!  One day a beautiful maiden grabbed him up and gave him a smack.  CRASH - BOOM -  ZAP!  There he was - a handsome prince.  And you know the rest.  They lived happily ever after.

    OBSERVATION:  So what is the task of the church?  To KISS FROGS, of course.

    To all my xanga buddies, have a very blessed weekend and kiss a few frogs.
