It is 5 in the morning, still dark outside. Yesterday was a real busy day at work. It was payroll Monday, my co-worker had to take the guards place for half of the day until we could get someone to come in early. Mucho goings on in the workplace scene today. {placed the remainder of the workload into my homework drawer to save for today) Through it all, in it all God is soooooo good to me. He has provided my with all I need to do my job, and to do it well most of the time. He has given me a wonderful life in spite of my sinful nature. It is through Jesus Christ's death, burial and resurrection that I have hope. Hope for today, tomorrow and for eternity with him.
Death has no hold on me, it just provides a portal from this life into the presence of an eternal life with Jesus. It is my daily desire, prayer that my children and the people I work with will find salvation and know the Jesus I know.
What can I tell you about him that would cause you to accept what he has already done on your behalf that you too may have eternal life? Is it that he died for your sins, past present and future, that he loves you and wants you to know him, how do I tell you about my Lord and savior? How do I tell you about the depraved lifestyle he saved me from, the utter blackness of my own life, the hoplessness I felt before Christ? The newness he has provided, a new spirit that dwells inside of me even though I battle daily with an old sinful nature, I have victory through Christ who dwells within me!
I wake each morning knowing he loves me, no matter what circumstances I find myself in, I have the assurance that he is with me, he will see me through all things . When life hands me difficult times, it is Christ who sees me through those times. When I received word that my precious granddaughter had drowned, I could face life because even though I knew she was physically dead, I knew because what Christ has already done on that cross for me, I would see her again one day.
There was a time in my life, when my own infant son died, that I did not have that hope. I found myself in a world of insanity, uncertainty and it almost destroyed my life. Praise God the father for the hope that I have through his son Jesus Christ that I may never find myself again in that dark place of hopelessness again, and while tragedy will most certainly come again (unless the Lord returns ) I will know for certain, I am not alone and he will see me though it.
If nothing else, that should cause a normal human being to want to know Jesus as Lord and Savior of their mortal and eternal life ! I would not want to suffer through life one single day without my precious Lord and Savior as my constant guide and comforter. Do you know him? If not, why not ?

Sunday, one of my favorite days of the week. The day of rest. Yesterday, I did my usual housework thing, worked on a computer, mowed, trimmed, picked up the yard- it was one of those balmy days ya know? The kind that felt like a sauna=my kind of weather to be out and about in. A/C is one of my least favorite things unless it is really, really hot-like 102 or better, then not too much, around 79-80 inside if you are working a little higher if idle. I loved working outside in the summertime, all the beautiful things that the Lord has created for us to enjoy. Now that is something, I don't think could be classified as the lust of the eye- it doesn't belong to me, it all belongs to the Lord- he shares it with us to enjoy. If you haven't already guessed, I see God in practically everything. Both the good things in life and those not so good. If you trust and believe in God and what he has done for you then "all things" work together for the good of those who are called according to his purpose. I trust him to keep his word. I may not understand the "whys" in this lifetime, but I know that one day, I will see those things as he does.

My first time to blog! This will pertain to everyday life, thoughts and comments.
Friday evening... honey bunny is asleep preparing his body for a shift and a half for the next 2 days. He is a production supervisor, works the weekend shift along with 3 other days during the week= 5 days on/ 2 off like most folks only his weekend days happen to be Tuesday and Wednesday. Only this weekend, he is doing duty and a half- too difficult to explain the whys- suffice to say he will be pooped by the time he gets home tomorrow evening ( 9:30ish) groan :(.
He is good at what he does, and whatever he puts his mind to do- God has gifted him with the talent to do it and to do it well. God is awesome like that, I was telling a co-worker today about God and his call on a person's life. He doesn't call the qualified- he "qualifies" those he calls! Awesome way to do things, don't ya think? Think about it, it is enough to blow your entire way of thinking about life !
I want God to gain glory from this little site. I want to write about things that will make someone stop and say...........I want Jesus in my life too. :)
