Within the last 6 months, I have separated from my wife. The issues aren't as important as is the final result. I left March 30th and I had no where to go. God moved me and I had to trust in Him. I had questions and I found no answers. I first went to Martin, Tennessee where I knew no one. I found a place and a job within the first week. I believed that this was Gods way of answering me. I knew that He had favor on my life, because I'm not physically able to work, and I was able to work without having any major pain.Three weeks later, I found that the company that hired me, didn''t need my services any longer. So when I lost my job, I lost my place. Now I'm in a place that I know no one. Before leaving martin, I as in touch with someone who is an employee in a homeless shelter in Mansfield, Ohio. Again, another place I never have been. Faith in hard times is hard. But when you're back is against the wall, and you have no where to turn. Turn your face to the wall, "Isaiah 38:2 amplified; Then Hezikiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord". When you have God in your life, you have victory in all areas. The Lord let me know that He had to move me out from where I was to do a work that I was called to do. I didn't understand. I looked at my situation instead of looking at what my blessing was. I ended up in a shelter called Harmony House. When I first entered , I felt such eveil and hate. It was like running into a wall. So I went back out and prayed. Then i came back in. Almost immediately, such peace came over me. I felt as if I belonged there. But not for the reason of having a place to stay. A few days went by and God told me that my being here is of His will. He said that this is my training frield and that I'm trainging to be a pastor. I almost hit the floor. Throughout my stay here, I have been ministring and praying for people in all walks of life. be it in the shelter or out on the streets. God has used me in many areas for Hid glory. The day before Father's Day, God restored my marriage. PRAISE GOD!!! My work here is finished. Tonight, I prayed with a young man and he accepted Christ into his life. What a wonderful ending to waht bedan as a horror story for my life. I'd like to thank yo all for your many prayers and support. Without them my marriage would not have survived. I love you all.

Have You Heard Of The Four Spiritual Laws
Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws which govern your relationship with God.
Law One
GOD LOVES YOU, AND OFFERS A WONDERFUL PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE.
God's Love
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
God's Plan
(Christ speaking) "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" (that it might be full and meaningful) (John 10:10).
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? Because
Law Two
MAN IS SINFUL AND SEPARATED FROM GOD. THEREFORE, HE CANNOT KNOW AND EXPERIENCE GOD'S LOVE AND PLAN FOR HIS LIFE.
Man Is Sinful
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.
Man Is Separated
"For the wages of sin is death" (spiritual separation from God) (Romans 6:23).
God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion.
The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf.
Law Three
JESUS CHRIST IS GOD'S ONLY PROVISION FOR MAN'S SIN. THROUGH HIM YOU CAN KNOW AND EXPERIENCE GOD'S LOVE AND PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE.
He Died in Our Place
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
He Rose from the Dead
"Christ died for our sins He was buried He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred " (I Corinthians 15:3-6).
He Is the Only Way to God
"Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me" (John 14:6).
God has bridged the gulf which separates us from God by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.
It is not enough just to know these three laws
Law Four
WE MUST INDIVIDUALLY RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND LORD; THEN WE CAN KNOW AND EXPERIENCE GOD'S LOVE AND PLAN FOR OUR LIVES.
We Must Receive Christ
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12).
We Receive Christ through Faith
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that no of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast" (Ephesians 2:8, 9).
When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth
(Read John 3:1-8).
We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation
(Christ is speaking) "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him" (Revelation 3:20).
Receiving Christ involves turning from self to God (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us the kind of person He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.
These two circles represent two kinds of lives:
Which circle best represents your life?
Which circle would you like to have represent your life?
The following explains how you can receive Christ:
You Can Receive Christ Right Now By Faith Through Prayer
(Prayer is talking with God)
God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be."
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart?
If it does, pray this prayer right now, and Christ will come into your life, as He promised.
God is the center and
head of my life! I owe Him everything and I know I can never repay
Him for all that He delivered me from. The trials I now face, I
count it lost and I am pushing forward to the mark of the Coming
Kingdom of God! I want to thank you for stopping by my page. I pray
that it is a blessing to you. Show yourself friendly and leave a
note or a comment. If you need to talk, please don't hesitate to
drop e a note. I will get back with you. If you need prayer, and
feel my prayering for you will help, I will honor your request.
Remember, we are all here for one another. If you know someone
who's in trouble, no food for their children, the lights are off,
if they need a shoulder, take time out and be there for them. In
the end, you'll be rewarded beyond your thoughts and prayers.

This is my beautiful daughter
Jamesa Alyce. I thank God for allowing me the opportunity of being
center i her life. I'd like you to pray for her as she is becoming
a woman and faces those trials of life that we all face in those
tender years of adulthood. God bless you al.
To become a friend you first have to present yourself friendly. Be up front and don't be fake. There is no reason for it. Life is too short to play games with someones feelings. Remember, Jesus is returning soon. Are You Ready? My stand on being truthful sn't hard, but seems to be a problem in our lives. Sometimes the truth hurts, but telling the truth is a show of lve and respect towards the person you're dealing with. being tuthful allows for self examination, and the realization that life s full of challenges and lets the receiver know within that they have an advocate in their lives. Telling a lie can chnage yur perspective to the truth for but a short period of time. The truth will eventually rise to th top as cream does. In the end, you loose trust in the person telling the lie and you also loose a friend. No matter how much truth may hurt, tell the truth a you know that you have a true friend throughout life.
I write about lies and truth because it cost me a marriage. Lies an hidden truthes are something that have part in distruction.
2 truths and a lie
Two of these are true about me. No joke. Which one's the lie? Take a guess...
