This is were I am at today and it seems like no matter what God still helps. And even when I feel like I cant do it on my own God reminds me that I need Him. I am reminded of young Emma who one day when she was but 6 or 7 years old got a brand knew hand muff and she was so excited. She wanted to go outside and use it and asked her daddy if they could walk outside, daddy said sure and as they went she stuff her hands in the muff but daddy told her let me hold your hand, because it is cold and icy outside and she said no I can do it, Well sure enough she hit a patch of ice and fell, dad got her up and said let me hold your hand but she insisted that she wanted to keep her hands in the muff but agreed to let him hold her finger, and wouldn't you know it
she slipped again and fell after she got up she looked at daddy and gave him her whole hand. Aren't you glad that are Father which is in heaven knows what we need and there to provide. Even though we feel like we can it first on our own.
HELP LORD!!!!

The Call
I am asking you all to pray for me, I gave my resume to Victory Baptist Church of Esterwood Louisiana, A man in my church told me about this church last Sunday and that he gave them my name, and asked for my resume. Of course I got excited, but I know ultimately it is up to God concerning this call. I have been missing being the pastor of a church, and I will wait till God moves. Every Sunday morning after teaching Sunday School I miss it, I believe every preacher waiting knows what I am talking about. I went today to this small town out in the middle of the woods and rejoiced just being called. I may not get this church, but just knowing that God hasn't forgot me just gets me all excited in my heart.
On May the 4th they are having a meeting concerning the call, so I ask you to pray for me....
I have said it before and I will say it again, The Greatest Call for a Man is the Call to Preach.

On The Defensive again
I cant give much detail right now because I haven't decided what to do, but this morning I have to go and clear my name again. Since I have lived both here in Louisiana and as a child in Florida I have had to deal with racial prejudice. This thing between the races is stupid and uncalled for.
Much of this is due to because I visited a new store in our town that deals with tools and other materials on the 17th of April. I saw all what they had because working at Oreillys sometimes I get customers who ask for things we dont have And I like to refer them to a place that would have them. Before I left the place I saw a display of gloves and wanted to try one on and I did but they didn't fit my short stubby hands. I don't remember leaving right then but When I left, I left empty handed. Well On Friday afternoon the manager of that store comes to Oreillys and asks me to go to the oil section and told me if I was ready to pay for the gloves I stole. Well of course I got on the defensive because I know I didn't and he said we have you on camera walking out with them. Well that was a shocker because if I did steal them I would have no defense, but my testimony and who I am could not stand there and agree with him. I told him who I was and that my character wouldn't do that and he said I don't care who you are and that I have to pay for the gloves or I will go further with the law. Well at that point I was angry because I knew I didn't steal no gloves. I told him, No I will go to the law and I will take the Law to you to see this film you got, well by that remark I realized he started what they call down here craw fishing, meaning backing up what he accused me of. But At five that afternoon when I got off I went with Winston a Captain in the Jennings police force to see this video, Well guess what, the video was locked in a time lock safe and he couldn't get in till 7a.m. Monday morning, So Winston and I will be there today. So funny that When Winston was in his store he denied telling me to pay for the gloves and said a different story to Winston. Afterwards outside Winston told me he could tell he was lieing by how he was acting.Winston told me outside that this is the case of you are Mexican. And off course I knew that already but hate it though.
Update: During the making of this post I left to go see this video, My self and Winston walked in; and immediately told me there is no surveillance camera and no video and that he was not representing Fastenal on Friday but yet he was though now this morning. What gets me is he could have cleared it that day on Friday with me and Winston but lied to both of us and my wife. I called her there to because I didn't want her to dought that her husband is a thief
He said that day he had the video in a safe and that the safe was a time lock safe, all lies, and at that people at my worked judged me to be a thief. My testimony was almost tainted, I will probably file harassment charges today and follow through with my lawyer.
What this guy doesn't understand I have much to lose and my position as Assistant Pastor at Calvary Baptist Church is important. we live in a small town and word spreads quick. As it has already. The good thing is I got witnesses at work and they will testify and having Winston there and hearing his lies helps to. Winston said Brother you are Mexican and they see you through there eyes and it is sad.
I come here to spread the Gospel but yet they don't see that, I am in the prisons and walk these streets for God, and yes the Devil has tried to get me out of the ministry but I am counting on God to help me, He is my refuge. He is who will lift me up.
This man boldly goes to my place of employment and accuses me of doing something I didn't do and then lies about it to me and a police officer. I am not going to take this laying down.

Bro.Bob Sensat, Bro Wall
I did something today that might make you think I am going crazy. I want to say first that I live in the old parsonage of Calvary Baptist Church, Behind this great old building were the church used to meet. We now are meeting on Airport rd. by the Hwy. For awhile now we have been trying to lease or sale the buildings with no hope in sight. But now we do have a church who is going to lease for 2 years, which is great.
I do want to state that as I go in and out that great building, I cant help to think, "Why did they leave.". I wish you could see the building. When I think about this work that was done here so many years ago, Bro. Wall and Bro. Sensat come to mind, I think about the labour they went through.
I never met these men, but I wish I did.
Today at about 8:30 a.m. I walked in to that great auditorium with my bible in my hand. I got behind the Pulpit, Opened my bible and Preached my heart out to an empty building few of pews. The greatest calling for a man is the call to preach, I believe that with all my heart. Sunday morning I wrote in my Bible, The Preacher is Gods Standing Army, to be preacher is awesome, I am God called And God sent, And knowing that This church held 2 of Gods great preachers, I wanted to preach were they preached,
And you might think I am going nuts but God gave me liberty this morning, I got filled with the Spirit of God and His power to preach. I left that building with tears in my eyes and cried for over 30 minutes. I called Bro. Janew in Georgia because I knew he would not think I was going nuts. He told me."John I have done that to".

Salvation
God’s Simple Plan of Salvation
My Friend : I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer.
My Friend : I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer.
The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?
God says, in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.”
In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again, which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How?
First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.
For ... “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place.

For ... “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place.
“... He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us ... that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Leviticus 17:11).
“…without shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22).
“God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.
My friend, “God ... commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “... ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.’
Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior.
“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).
Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.
Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.
In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Just pray: “Oh, God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.”
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!
God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.
You say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural, It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.
If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down until you understand it. Your soul is worth more than all the world.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36).
Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very moment.
God’s power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a victorious Christian life. “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it”

(I Corinthians 10:13).
Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God’s promises. They never change. After you are saved, there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth: Pray — you talk to God. Read your Bible — God talks to you. Witness — you talk for God.
You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible-believing church without delay. “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord” (2 Timothy 1:8).
“Whosoever therefore shall confess [testify of] Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32).

How ignorant
I just proved last night how ignorant people are. I always get this stupid emails about English should be the only language in our country and that these illegals should go back to were they came from. Now mind you they say that while eating potatoes there children dare not to pick in the fields, while drinking orange juice from picked oranges there children wouldn't want to go pick all day, While ordering extra pickles on there hamburgers that there children have said I don't want to work in the Fields, While looking out a clean glass window 25 stories up that there children will not work.
I say if you don't want them to come why do we raise kids who think that those jobs are not that important, We gripe about the economy but yet we have first choice of these jobs but hey I wont do that right. I have asked some young teenagers that have said there are people for that, What people? The ones that you complain about. There are people in those country's that know that our kids will not work those jobs, so they come, You want to change things lets change the face of migrant works to white faces. Wont happen will it. Why? Not enough money right, but hey they will come and work that because little is much when you ain't got none, and you live in a country of tyranny and poverty,
You don't want them to come then do something about it. I mean physically, because these emails are cause more racist hatred, Pass this email doesn't stop anything, Tell that child of yours that there are enough jobs in this country get get the unemployment rate down.
What did I prove, I sat there and was hearing all this french talking from those that complain that English is the language and asked," why not talk in English isn't that what you complain about"' and the response was this, this is English...I didn't know French was the English language in this country. I thought it was in Canada and France that they speak french, oh and this This Cajun French comes from there, or am I wrong Hmmmm!

Almost Lost my Jacket
Yesterday my old boss from Abbeville called me to ask me if I got my jacket and of course I said no and he said that Allen got his. And of course I got mad and asked him what happened to mine, and he said it should be at your store. So I checked or shipment and of course nothing, he had also said to call the store in Crowley, so I did and nothing.I called Robert back and told him nothing. What gets me is that 2 months ago Robert got an email that said we might not get the jackets because there was no proof of money that Oreilly paid for the 50 jackets after Xentex merged with another company so Oreilly gave us the option of taking 200.00 dollars as a nice gesture. Well I couldn't call then because I was not working for the company. Well now that I work for Oreillys again I chose not to take the money and would wait for the jacket, but now it seems like I get no jacket. Robert gave me the number to the cooperate office and left a message with the marketing dept. After an hour and a bunch of complaining and whining I called back and spoke to Karen in marketing and she transferred me to Kara in promotions, I went ahead and told her the story and she asked what my counter # is and she then realized what happened, they were looking for Juan and I had put John and well they thought Juan Quit, which I did but I am back on Team Net as John. Well after all that was cleared I will not be getting the 200.00 Dollars, which is okay because I refused that any way, but in 1 week will have my jacket, Leather jacket that is
