His love is for you and me

I really enjoy this song... He loves me anyway.... in spite of how I fail.  Jesus Loves me and He loves you.  Check out this video of the Sidewalk Prophets song.. with scenes from the movie The Passion of the Christ





Jesus loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you.  In spite of who you are and what you have done.  He still loves you and wants to be your friend.  Here is another LIVE version... emotional performance.

USA - Established on the Christian Faith


The news media, Hollywood, and the general entertainment industry (for reasons I cannot understand) seems to be driven by evil forces.  Satan has our attention through these channels.  If you believe what you see on TV or read in the press, you'd think that this country is being overtaken by NON Christian beliefs.  Well... it just isn't so.  At least yet.  Check out the map below and see that there is hope for our nation.  Christians need not be discouraged but put on the armor of God and stand for HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!  According to this survey, 79% of the people in our blessed country believes in Jesus Christ!!  Imagine that!  We are the majority in the United States of America...






Our land is a dwelling place of God's Kingdom. So stand strong America! Do your part to keep it this way!!!

One final thought.... it says also that 16% of the people in our country are unafilliated and another 1% does not even know whether or not they believe in Jesus.  Christians... seek out these souls.  The time is ripe to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!  It is not hard... all you need to do is show people how much He loves them.

Prayer: Dear Lord, Thank you for blessing our country and for placing us here in the awesome responsibility for its future.  Please forgive our nation for the awful sins we have committed... and please allow us the strength, the courage, the humility, the knowledge, and wisdom to continue seeking you.  Help us to realize our calling... to spread your gospel through our neighborhoods and serve our neighbors with your loving kindness.  Continue to watch over and guide America in your way. AMEN

Scripture: Psalm 33:12-19

 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
   the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the LORD looks down
   and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
   all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
   who considers everything they do.
 16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
   no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
   despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
   on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
   and keep them alive in famine.

Figuring out His Reason

I can hardly believe it has been almost 2 years since my last post here.  A lot has happened since then.  God continues to lead me down wonderful paths and has blessed my family with health and security and for this we are so thankful.  This year has been interesting as God has led me back into personal flying.  He has placed some wonderful people around me and these folks have helped bring my passion for old airplanes back. Our 1946 Taylorcraft is back in the air once again. It is truly a joy to share flying with my wife, family, and friends.  We are looking forward to some more opportunities to fly in the coming months.


Also, this year my dad passed away. From him I have inherited the gift of aviation.  He taught me to fly and introduced me to the world of old airplanes.  And he used them to teach me about life. I couldn't be more proud to be Dad's son. His life was an inspiration to me and continues to provide direction as though God is using the legacy of my father to help me find my way.  There's more to the story and I am beginning to see where God is taking me through this journey of life.  I am realizing that he is keeping airplanes in my life for a reason.  So now.. my job is to let Him use me and these airplanes for His purpose.  Stay tuned as we seek to figure this out!

My prayer:  Lord, I pray that you will speak to me and I will listen.


Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:10
  10 The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!”
   Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
