It didnt seem that long,

Well I have enjoyed this trip so much, The blogging the posting the commenting. It was all good and well. We got to see alot of our selves this past month. I really enjoyed my freinds coming over and visiting, enjoyed my Brothers look on life, Robs on and off antics, it was all well. I will continual posting but not like this month but I will keep going. Seems like before it was every now and then, My wife would even enjoy the reading,
When you first asked me to start one I wasnt sure how to do this but I learned, through this I even type a little faster. So thank you Jay(my brother)
I can even type certians letters without looking at the keys, so I know that has helped.
I mean it was fun. I wish I could get into the jaiku but maybe that will be later, I know Juan and Jay are big on that and I was even encouraged when I saw that Rob added me to his contact, so we will see,
I will be posting more of my outlines and other outlines that has helped me, I hope by doing so will help someone or help some study the word of God. I neither take credit for the outlines so anybody can use them.
Having Juan and DeeDee come over was great even though Juan broke my wifes finger twisted her other finger, jammed her finger made her little toe bleed, pushed her to the wall, kicked her and so on and so on.
she even has a big bruise on her arm, Poor Princess.
I am sorry I wasnt much on the commenting part but I read and enjoyed yalls post, all of yall who were part of the 31 day trail, and remember no money back gaureantee.

On the road again,

Well our friends are on the road, they left about 533am this morning. They should be near or past Beaumont Texas. Just pray for them please that God keep them safe and awareness, I know Juan is tired, We didn't get much sleep while they were here.
8 years this month we have known each other, we have seen our children grow up together. And it seems so weird that it has been that long. I remember seeing Juan in the back row at church just crying sometimes, just rejoicing for what God has done for him. They have been there for us as we have been there for them, and I pray we will always be able to count on each other.
He helped me this week an I helped him this week with our vehicles, It is to bad though I had to dirty my tools though(jk) or as you guys say, "pfffft", Oh man I got spit on my screen.
Thanks again De Leon family, it was fun.

And now the time has come,

Well it has been so much fun these past few days with our family freinds, We laughed so much this week an rejoiced with the services an seeing the Lord work like He has. I pray not to forget these days. I always think," There were our freinds first", We do miss them. We hope to do this again. And man have we ate so much. I have alot to say, but I will put it own later.

Day almost gone,

But I have not forgotten to blog a little, it has been a good day today. Did some fishing and sight seeing then we went to Lake Charles, and bowled and ate at CiCi's. Had alot of fun but I always end up ruining the day, well goodnight.

I dont know much,

I know this Sunday is the day to be in church, I want revival to keep going but I don't know if I could take it, Friday night was awesome, God moved in and we took it in, I never knew salvation would ever lead to this, but I am glad it did, I thank god for my friends being here. Juan has helped me so much these few days, Fixed my Pathfinders wipers, and helped me change the spark plugs in my van, Juan is so gifted, he in the past 8 years has been so good to me. During the past few months we haven't spoke much, due to work and church, but I think about the fellowships we used to have. We probably laughed more then talk all these years. Friends are a gift that sometimes are taken advantage of, but God help me never to be that way again.
the Love I have for Juan will never break a mountain, But I know that my dad will never say,"Those 2 queers loved each other", He knows what a difference God has done. With out salvation Juan and I would probably never have been friends, He probably would have beat me up.

Glory

It was a night never to forget, Just pray for souls to be saved in Jennings, Louisiana.

It Is Well,

Oh man am I tired, our Friends came in last night about 12:54a.m., and we talked and talked and talked then we laughed and laughed, and soon it was close to 3 a.m. man I got to work this morning and I am tired, but I would do it all over again, one thing guaranteed with our Friends, we are going to laugh. We saw some old videos they took when we were just moved to Abbeville. broke my heart to see my old church but hey I can count both the Good And The Bad there. I pray we have a good time this next several days, We had an awesome night of services last night, Preacher Allen let the Spirit take control. Tonight will be the last, but oh how I want it to be another week of revival,
right now I am hearing Brother Phil Kidd and man what a day when we get to heaven, What a day that will be, no more sorrow, no more pain, no more death, no more separation, and the best no more SIN! Hallelujah I am so glad that I am saved,
If you are not saved why don't you get saved, what will it take, what will it take, He died for sins while on earth And now He is at the right hand of the Father, He is waiting, you have been struggling to long, Jesus will have mercy on you, just call Him,

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Gave his only begotten Son; the highest expression of his infinite compassion.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,. There is no sweeter verse in the Bible. It declares: (1) That God is love. (2) That he loved the world instead of hating it. (3) That he so loved that he gave his Son. The Son did not come to appease the Father's wrath, but the Father sent him because he loved so well. (4) That he came to keep men from perishing.

Oh! men and women, look now! See Jesus Christ lifted up on the cross, see Him hanging on that awful cross, see Him wounded for your transgressions, bruised for your iniquities, and the chastisement of your peace laid on Him. Oh, men and women living in sin, men and women rejecting Christ for the world, men and women who have looked to the lies of Christian Science, Unitarianism and other systems that deny His atoning blood, Listen! "But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

Saved

Last night was no preaching, Now Before service talking with Preacher Allen We knew the message was going to be good, but when the Spirit got hold of Preacher that was it. The Trio sang a song and Preacher got up and spoke about the Glory, the Spirit Taking control. He asked those that are saved to testify one at a time. And 1 by 1 we gave our testimony, and then preacher sent us to the alter and pray, I remember as we were praying and hearing the testimony's that my daughter hadn't testified, I kept asking God why Lord, why? I heard one man get up and yelled I just got in! It was awesome, it was T-Rick, after the invitation was over in my mind I asked again Lord why not? Why hadn't she testified? I stayed up front with Brother Clayton and just thought on that. Bro. Howard got up and said I just feel like we shouldn't unhook just yet, he called Bro Clayton to get up and sing, He gave his testimony and started to sing How Jesus can make a difference. Well that was it, after he sang and preacher was talking, Diana Got up, ever wondered what it was like when Lazarus was raised from the dead? Well you should've been there, She cried out. I need to get saved, I came to her and she came to me and we prayed till she got saved it was awesome, but that wasn't it during fellowship God was working on Justin and He got saved,
Yes It was a normal day, For the Lord that is, But for us Sinners it was awesome.

I did not cry.

Well yesterday we received in some 10 crates of stone water fountains, and each crate weighed over 1000 pounds or more, Myself and my partner Chris unloaded each one by hand, well during all that, we were putting down a huge bowl and Chris lets 1 side down to fast and boom it hit hard on another surface I said hey becarful and then for some reason he let go of his other hand and smack right on my 2 fingers, my pointer finger and my middle finger. I said pointer finger because I don't know the proper name. Well anyways I yanked them out and just held it in, the pain and discomfort. 1 finger the pain went away but my other on is still hurting a little. I don't think it broke but it felt like it. You ever had your finger lodge between 2 100 pound concrete bowls? Well let me tell you it hurts. But I did not cry.
Last night at revival was great, Preacher Allen got up to say a few words and that was it, he took off a preaching. 1 came up for salvation and she got in, she told Preacher Allen, "I got in," it was awesome. One other lady was hanging on to the pew and shaking, but she did not come , Preacher Allen told her the first step will be hard but that she knew she needed to come. I wish I could tell you she came but she didn't, she took off running out the building. Pray for Preacher Allen, and for revival.

What A Day That Will Be,

Another Good day at the House of God, Preacher Allen Got there right at 7:01. He even mentioned how he likes to make Preacher worry, right on time he said, HE preached one point last night, And in Hell he lift up his eyes. There was one that got saved, What is awesome about that one is, it is Brother Ricky's wife, the man I prayed with at work yesterday, God is Good and I am so Glad Preacher Sammy is preaching the way he does, him being right on target. Brother Ricky was so excited. Cant wait to see what holds today. Oh and At 1:00 p.m. Brother Howard is preaching at a funeral of a person he doesn't know, he was asked and he obliged to it, there will be lost people, pray for him please and that God will get the glory. And please pray for my wife and children, we all need it. Especially me, I need it bad.

So excited

Man we have been waiting for tonight since Preacher Allen left Friday. All day just anticipating and it is just around the corner. The Cases will be there, Bro. Clayton and Adam also. We pray that it will be a good night. At work had a church member come visit and thanked me for praying with him, and he just encourages me with his testimony and love for God. We talked for a while at work and Prayed again at work. Man just to get hold of God is awesome. I even had a lady at worked asked if I was a Pastor and if I perform marriages, I said yes but I don't unequally yoke people together, Told her she must be saved and he must be saved. Earlier that day a man who shops alot at Stine yells at me across the store," Hey preacher while you are down on your knees putting stock up, say a little prayer for me." Having a testimony is so important to me because I believe people want to see something real, and not just made up either. God is so good and I am so excited to be saved. I cant wait for God to use me again in Pastoral, but till then I will just keep Driving forward, and slack not.

Today was a good day,

Well services was good and the day is beautiful, the sun is out and it is cold, I like it when it is like this, clouds and cold is ugly but sun and clouds it is awesome.
Hey Christian this might help, The Lord showed it to me this morning during my reading, check it out. #1 it is part of a verse but the emphasize is there for the Christian, in any work of the ministry, II Kings 4:24.....Drive, and go forward, Slack not thy riding for me,
I asked the Lord to one day give me a message from this one thought.
1. Drive: We have are command, The Great Commission.
2. and go forward,: We Have the Direction, Hey and on that road there will be bumps but go forward, there will be some valley roads and mountain roads but no matter where he leads He's the God of the low and the top.
3. Slack not thy riding for me: Philippians 4:13, Don't slow down keep running, we may not jump high like we used to but God can use all we give,
This is just a simple out line of what God gave me this morning. I pray God will give me liberty to preach it one day.

Brother Allen had some great things to say this past week, And here is one.
Where He guides, He provides,

As I go through my notes in the days to come I will put more up. I think I wrote down every verse down, 80% of his messages are the word of God, and you he rightly divided each one, Cant lose with the stuff you use, Preacher Howard always says.

I have alot but,

I cant put down yet, I have alot on my head,
If when you pray and you believe God can hear you, Pray for me

Today,

Well today will be a good day. Why. because this is the day that the Lord has made. Yesterday was another good day at church, we had one saved and boy did he scare me. Being an alter worker is great but their are times that people scare me, this man came up during the invitation and was saying I don't know over and over so i grab him along with Bro Dickie Sr. and Jr. and prayed with him , he was praying but would stop and holler I don't know. So we prayed more, he asked me how can I know, So I showed him I John 5:13 then we prayed more and more. We prayed so fervently because the need was great. He just kept saying I don't know if I am. I stepped back and called Bro. Allen and He asked him If He prayed did he believe that God would here him, And he said yes then he asked the same question to everyone else and we all agreed, guess what happened?
Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
He got saved, and boy did he get saved.
I hope you all have a good day today, Pray for your loved ones.

So Glad!

So glad that my son is saved, still not over it, Last nights revival was awesome, we had 2 more get saved. Preacher Allen is so sensitive to the Holy Ghost That HE Preached What God knew we needed. HE said he was going to preach on revival, but God changed those plans. HE said something Monday that hasn't escaped my thought that is so true. "We call these meeting revival, but most time it is advertisement, Revival is what we want but sometimes we don't" It was so true a statement. HE later said it used to be called Protracted meetings. I might have missed spelled that but it is true. We need revival but we fall short, I know where I fail and I pray that I do my best as that Hymnal says, Our Best. Lunch with Preacher Sammy was awesome too, we ate at Walkers and I had a big burger. Preacher ate a big ole 16oz steak. He tore it up. I wont be able to go today because they are going out of town, I pray they be safe today. They are going to go hit them pawn shops also. Preacher Allen is after a shot gun worth $1,600 for only $159.00, He already got $100.00 From Bro. Eric, Preacher Sold him a Mother pearl Knife. It is a beautiful, worth ten times more than that but Preacher Allen is not concerned about that. I hope he gets that gun even though Preacher Howard said Sammy don't need another gun, funny. Going to work now, to my wife I love you so much, So Glad you were able to be there at the beginning of service.
GED class was awesome to. found out I did ok on test, I beat up Philip though, I had to do my bulling. I also Broke Diana's pencil, HAHAHA!
