This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. |

As I was reading the Bible a bit this morning, I stopped on this verse; Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you. Mark 5:19
Jesus had just healed the man that had a legion of demons.
To have been isolated and alone while they tore him apart; to find no cure through modern medicine; and then to finally be at peace; what else could that man do but tell everyone what had been done for him.
Today is my birthday-again, the day I accepted Jesus as my own Savior.
I was 17 years old.
I wasn’t demon possessed (that I know of), I didn’t live in a cemetery, I had the comforts of a home, food to eat, nice clothes to wear, and I was a senior in high school.
And still I was not 100% happy; I had no peace and knew something was missing from my life.
My best friend, Steve, gave me a Christian tract.
I read it, was convicted by what I read, and prayed the prayer on the back.
I wasn’t demon possessed, strung out on drugs, getting drunk, or doing others harm. But the comfort and peace I felt when I asked Jesus to forgive me and be a part of my life is still so totally unforgettable.
His message to me and to you is still the same; tell your friends… tell everyone what great things the Lord has done for you and how He has had compassion on you.

Oh, off on a tangent, have you heard that Oprah is buying the Discovery Health Channel and is going to use it for her new age crud? Check it out.

I also was 17. The experience didn’t last. At 25 though, I found the ANSWER! He is exciting, He keeps me in a state of renewal. He just wont give up on me. Thank God! Just last year I was accused of intergreating God into to much of my life. I was told to not rely on God so much. I took it as a conplament. That same young person had to work under a man that was “the same” as me. He is learning that life is all about God. love ya brother

found this on a geocache hunt. funny. we search for things as a treasure and still run into God, and yet people just dont “see” it. praise you my brother for you are truly a son of God. God loces you and sees the things you and your wife do and you will be rewarded. whatever you go through, no matter how big or small, God is there.
ps. i felt God when i wrote this. i hope this is a blessing to you.
