End of the season

Well as always it has been a while since I have posted anything. This has been an awesome year and the MX season has almost come to an end. The turnout has definitely went way down from past years due to the economy.
I hope things get better for everyone to allow the turn outs to get bigger again. This weekend will be the last State Race for this year at Legends in Half Way MO. I can't wait. Practice on Saturday, Church Sunday AM and then the races.
God has been good to us and has enabled us to make all the races again this year. I wasn't sure how we would do this year.
For anyone that has helped support our Ministry throughout this year a big Thank You and we pray God blesses you.
See ya soon.

Does God still heal people?

This is a subject that keeps coming up in our Bible study. One side says: God heals whom he chooses to heal. We can get sick because we are in a world where people get sick and sometimes God will heal us miraculously other times he does not . The other side says: Yes you can get sick, but God wants to heal all and the only reason you don't get healed is because of lack of faith.
I am not sure on what side you stand, but I do know where I stand. I know that God can heal everyone. I know there are scriptures in the Bible that mention sick people without mention of them being healed. There are many scriptures in the Bible that talk about people being healed. So do all get healed? NO.
Is it because of lack of faith? Could be. Is it because God in his sovereignty chose not to heal them for what ever reason? Could be. I believe that God guarantees us spiritual healing in the Bible, I do not believe he guarantees us physical healing here on this earth.
To tell a genuine believer that is trying to serve God with all his heart that he does not have enough faith to be healed I believe is cruel. It can destroy that individual.
Should we have more faith in God and trust in his healing touch? Yes. I think we do miss out many times.
But I also know that faith is a gift from God and it is nothing we can conger up. So as the Bible says, let us ask for more faith and God will give it to us as he sees fit. Then we can stand ready to receive it, be it more faith to trust in healing or whatever God has in store.
And if we do not see a healing, lets trust God that he knows what he is doing and lets not beat ourselves up over it.

Have faith in God, don't have faith in your faith.

God bless you.

Racing Season

As I was updating my web site last weekend I was entering the dates of this years MO MX State Races. I started thinking whether I was ready for the new season or what I needed to do to get prepared for it. Of course there are still numerous items that I have not taken care of to get ready. But I know I will make sure that I am ready as always.
This made me think of another season. When looking at the world around us it sure seams that the season when Jesus will return is really getting close. Of course I don't know this for sure, but it appears that way. So my question is this: Am I ready for that season? I am in no way perfect, but I do know that because of the price Jesus paid, I can look forward to his coming. I am forgiven.
Are you ready for that season? Only you know the answer to this.
If you are not, are you okay with it? Or do you think it be a good idea to get ready? Only you can answer that question...........
I know God loves you and hopes you will get ready.

We have reached the Goal

Thanks to those of you that contributed to make the Donation to Uganda happen. They have received the money and Abraham has the job he needs to feed his family.
Thanks again.
God bless you all.

Uganda Family Help

We have been helping a family in Uganda thru some rough times. It is a Mom and Dad with four young children. They have not been able to make ends meet. Abraham (the Dad) has an opportunity to get a job with the state Agricultural Department, which will help them tremendously and keep them from going hungry. The problem? It takes an employment fee to get this job. The employment fee is 500 000 Uganda Shillings that gets paid to the Agricultural Department.
He has 100 000, so he is short 400 000. This is about $215.00.
I would like to send this as a Christmas present. They could really use this but Resurrection Ministries can not afford to do this on its own and I was really hoping to send a little more to tie them over till the income starts.

If you think you want to help, please send to the following address:

Resurrection Ministries
8795 County Farm RD
Lexington, MO 64067

Or make a Donation at www.resurrectionministries.com

I have to send this by Tuesday 12/22 because they would have to have it by 12/23 @ 3PM there time.

Please drop me a note if you can help.
Thanks

Merry Christmas.

I was not kidding

As I said in my last post. I am not good at keeping this up.

The summer is definitely over and the cold weather is almost here. It has been quite a year. I went back to riding MX, but only lasted three events before I broke my right heal. That put me out for the rest of the season. I hope to be back for the next season.
My son decided to join the Marines and signed up today. Not sure what to think about all that. Part of me is proud of him and part wishes he wouldn't have. It is not a surprise, he talked about it for five years.
Well Christmas is almost here. Lets make sure we remember what the season is all about. We are celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Merry Christmas

Where have you been?

It sure has been a while since I have been here. It seems we all have good intentions about what we want to do or what we feel we should do, but a lot of it just doesn't happen.
How do you do in that area? Not following thru with stuff usually can be because of several reasons. One: you over commit. Two: you procrastinate. Three: bad habit. Just to point out three, I am sure there are more reasons.
In my case it is over commitment. Simple things like keeping this blog. The intentions are good, but do I do it?
Well its been January since my last entry. Lets see how long it takes before I am on here the next time.
