The next three months...

For those who have kept up with my Facebook status postings over the past few days, I have been nervous, perplexed and confused about a few things at WalMart.
Today was my last day at Greeneville WalMart. Not really though! Starting on Monday at 8am I am to report to the Bristol, TN WalMart for reassignment as they go thru a remodel. I will be there for almost three months. The craziest thing about this is that I will be staying in a hotel Monday-Friday and coming home on the weekends.
I appreciate the support of Pam, Daniel and my Mom and Aunt during this long time away from home. I have the potential to make quite a bit of money during this time. If WalMart offers more money and the possibility of over time, I have to take it!!Keep me in your prayers during this time.
I am so blessed to even have a job and I thank God everyday that I work at WalMart. Also, please keep Pam and Daniel in prayers as this will be the longest span away from each other.

Easter...

The World is in trouble as it always has been.  The Economy is in shambles, jobs are failing and unemployment is at an all time high.  Sin is rampart and the destruction of morals and marriage based values are degrading each day.

What is the answer to combat these problems?  Is it Politicians, Leaders, Movie Stars, Out of the Box thinkers?  A huge and resounding NO!!!!

The answer was born over 2000 years ago as God became flesh and entered our world.  He lived for 33 years before he gave his life for you and I so that we might be reconciled to himself and our sins forgiven.  He is the ONLY answer to our problems.  Not a man made answer- but a Son of Man answer.  

When times are tough- turn to Jesus.  When the laws of God have been broken- turn to Jesus and ask for his never ending forgiveness.  When you are laid off and you don't know how you are going to support yourself or your family- turn to Jesus!  Whether you are gay, straight, married, not married, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Atheist or Agnostic- God and His son Jesus LOVE you!! He is standing here right now with his arms open waiting for you to accept the gift that he gave while hanging on a cross those many years ago.  

Does he tolerate a person's homosexuality, a involvement in another faith or religion or the disbelief in himself or his Father.  No.  But he can forgive you for those sins and welcome you into his arms forever if you just believe and have Faith that he is there for you now.

This Sunday is Easter 2009.  I believe that God came to earth and died on a Roman cross, betrayed by his own people and friends.  After three days, he rose from the grave- conquering Death and Hades forever.  Satan lost the battle right then and there and can never recover a victory.  He then went to Heaven where he awaits the day and time to return to Earth and claim his people unto himself.

Do you know Jesus? If you died today, do you know where you will spend eternity? It’s very simple. We are all sinners. By our nature, our heart runs from God and rebels against him. We are not perfect and can never be without the help of the supreme ruler Jesus Christ. He loves us and wants to save us from sin. To give us this gift of salvation, Jesus Christ died for us. You receive this gift by faith alone. You demonstrate this gift by genuine repentance and changed actions in your life. Romans 10:9 says “If you confess with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
If you are choosing right now to believe that Jesus died for your sins and wants you to spend eternity with him in heaven, pray a prayer similar to this one:
Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died to forgive me of my sins. I now accept Your offer of eternal life. Thank You for forgiving me of my sin. Thank You for my new life. From this day forward, I will choose to follow you.

If you just prayed that prayer, please let me know about it so I can pray for you in your walk with our Lord. If you have questions, feel free to ask them. I don’t know everything and I never will. But I do know that my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will return one day……… May God bless you all in your daily lives!

Happy Easter my friends!!  Happy Easter!
