1 Year

Good Morning,

Psalm 133
Psalm 136:1


Holly, it has been a year since the Lord called you home.  It has also been a year of firsts for Peyton and I. 

First New Year without you.
First Birthdays without you.
First Anniversary without you.
First Thanksgiving without you.
First Christmas without you.

And a whole lot more.  We still miss you a whole bunch.  You are always on our minds and in our hearts.

Today, a couple of families from 4-H will begin construction on a prayer garden at the church in your honor and memory.  I know it will be special since you always wanted one:)

So much has happened in this last year, that I wish we could have shared it together.

In all of this, Peyton and I can still say GOD IS GOOD!

Love you very much!  Infinity times Infinity!

REMEMBER WHEN

Good Day to All

Usually, I share a scripture verse and follow up with a short message.  Today, however, I just want to share with you a memory that is special to me.

The bible teaches that the Holy Spirit teaches us all things, and brings to our remembrance all things. (John 14).  Also, the bible teaches there is a book of remembrance that God has. (Malachi 3).  The word remember is mentioned over 150 times throughout the bible. 

Today is a day of remembrance for me.  My beautiful wife went home to be with the Lord December 26, 2012.  It was a sad but happy day.  Sad - that she left here and I miss here.  Happy - knowing that she is with the Lord and I will get to see here again.  PTL!

But, this is not the memory I want to share.  20 years ago this day, somewhere around this time (Holly would know the exact time, lol), is the first time I met Holly.  Who would have thought that we would marry, have a child and be in the ministry.  I know one person who would have known - Holly.  20 years seems like a long time on one hand, but on the other, it just seems like a week.  I remember that day so vividly and I remember that week like it was yesterday.  There is so much I could write, but I will hold that in my heart and cherish the memories of the love we shared for each other.

I encourage you to make memories with your family.  Ultimately, make sure you and your family is ready to meet the Lord when it is your time to do so.

Blessings,

Happy New Year

Good Morning,

May you have a Blessed New Year in 2013!

In honor of God, the Holy Scriptures and my wife (Holly, her favorite verse):

Psalm 133:1-3

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments.

It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessings --- Life forevermore.


May the body of Christ dwell in unity like never before.

Count your blessings, you never know when they will depart.

To My Wife

My Sweet Holly:

I love you very much. 24 hrs ago, the Lord called you home. My heart is broken, I want you and need you here. But, I know now, you have your total healing. You fought a great battle and proven a lot of people wrong (even doctors) in this. Truly the Lord gave you strength in all of this. You are an amazing woman of God, a precious wife and an awesome mother. You were my strength (in the natural) as we pressed along in the ministry together. You were such an encourager and uplifter. Truly, as your friend said, an Angel sent from heaven. We laughed, cried, rejoiced, hurt together. Since you left this earth, Peyton and my heart truly aches for you. Peyton loves you very much. He adored you like no other. He truly was a mama's boy. It has been hard to try to tell explain to him what has transpired. I have been through pain before but not like this.  No matter what, through life or death, may the name of Jesus be glorified!

Holly, YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!

You were truly example of a Proverbs 31 woman.

Psalms 116:15
Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His saints.

We love you very much (from your boys).

Kevin and Peyton

Emmanuel/Immanuel

Good Morning,

The Lord is Good!!!

Matthew 1:20-25

But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."

So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us".

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

And did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son.  And he called His name Jesus.



No matter what you go through.  No matter what the name of your trial is.  No matter what kind of tribulation you have, remember that God is with us!

Even though the doctors have given my wife a month to live, I can still say Emmanuel, God is with me!

To my wife:  Even though death is knocking, the circumstance seems lost, Emmanuel, God is still with you!

We are praying and believing that the Lord is going to raise you up for His glory!

Some spiritual advice from a healing evangelist of times past (Smith Wigglesworth):  I am not moved by what I feel, I am not moved by what I see, I am moved but what I believe.

Revival Sayings of the Old

Good Afternoon,

Matthew 5:4

Blessed are the pure in heart For they shall see God.

May the following quotes from trailblazers in the Lord be a blessing and challenge to you:

God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the IMPOSSIBLE.
- William Booth

Revival is when God gets so sick and tired of being misrepresented that He show Himself.
- Leonard Ravenhill

A baptism of holiness, a demonstration of godly living is the crying need of our day.
- Duncan Campbell

Study the history of revival.  God has always sent revival in the darkest day.  Oh, for a mighty, sweeping revival today!
- Adrian rogers

A revival, then, really means days of heaven upon earth.
- D. Martin Lloyd-Jones

If revival depended on you -- your prayers, your faith, your obedience -- would your church ever experience revival?
- Del Fehsenfeld Jr.

You never have to advertise a fire  Everyone comes running when there's a fire.  Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it.  The community will already know it.
- Leonard Ravenhill

May we all catch on fire for the Lord!

Blessings
