A little something to put things in perspective

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest rangers
began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage.
One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched
statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat
sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.
When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under
their mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of
impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the
tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing
that the toxic smoke would rise.
She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her
babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her
small body, the mother had remained steadfast ...because she had
been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.
'He will cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you will find refuge'
(Psalm 91:4)
Being loved this much should make a difference in your life.
Remember the One who loves you, and then be different because of it.

This is where I know about thirty people live.

Do you know.

I look out during this time of the year to see what people have or not. Just like I wrote about Boxer Day. There are many people with out. I have a chance to work along side two of my buddies. They are both Haitian. I am sorry but I don't have a picture of them now. I took one a about two years ago and they are a jump drive. But the picture you see above is where they live. By looking at the picture, you can see they really don't have much. I wish I could take more pictures to show you. But I really don't want them to know what I am doing that. You can understand? Why would a white guy come in and take pictures and leave? I don't believe they would understand that. These two guys I am talking about, their names are Nickles and Celahava. Sorry I know I bucthered their names. These two work so hard at the Centre and have so little of things. I have been told that they stash they money and then send it back to their families back in Haiti. All I am trying to show the world is a rough place and people do what they can to make it.
Please I know there are some of my friends and even family out there that have lost their jobs. Maybe even their homes. All I am asking for is, if you know of people that have so little and if you have been blessed. Please share with them and you will not believe how much you get blessed by Him. I am not saying, the more you give away the more you will receive. That is all junk. Just do it and watch how He is there looking down and one day you will look back and say Thank you Lord for letting me be part of this world and saying I did what I could. Folks look around your neighbors and just help where you can.
This next year, I have been told to be a real rough one. People losing their jobs and homes. God is watching and the time will come when He will bless you for all you do.
May this coming year be a time to do our part to help the ones that really don't have any thing.

Boxer day here in the Bahamas.

This day is set aside each year for helping out the people that don't really have much for Christmas to look forward to. But every year Calvary Bible opens their doors and ask the neighbors and friends through out the island to come and enjoy a nice hot meal and some of God's love. By looking at the pictures below you can see how many do come out. Plus they were blessed with a time of worship and just having some fun. Then they had a chance to hear God's Word and to understand His love and why we have Christmas.
I really like the idea of seeing all the kids that came out to help us. I know sometime we think our kids are all about themselves. But days like this I see His love come out in their ways of showing serve. At the end of the program, the women of our church gave out some real nice gifts to the older folks and the small one even got something too. I thank my Lord each and everyday, for letting me be part of His ministry here and just able to give back in serve.
The night before was called Junkanoo. That is the time that the people of the Bahamas come out at 2 am and have this ting called a rush. That is when there is a parade. I have shown you pictures before on this. I am sorry to say I didn't get up soon enough to run down town and walk and take pictures this year. I hope on New years night to go then. I will talk with you soooooon.

This is called Boxer Day.

Merry Christmas to all.

Yesterday was a beautiful and wonderful day. I had the chance to spend Christmas Day with friends here in the Bahamas. Yes I went to Calvary Bible in the morning. We had a real nice informal service. Pastor Lee main reason for the service was to make sure, as families get together on Christmas mornings. How do you start your morning off? The people had a chance to share how and why Christmas morning is so important? The main theme was, how do you share the story of Jesus Christ birth? There was a couple of families that sang and another shared a poem that the daughter that wrote. Then others read in Luke about the birth of Jesus Christ. It really was a nice time to reflex on Him and only Him. His birthday.
Then that afternoon I went to Heather Cartwrights home. She invited me to come and have Christmas lunch/ dinner with them. It sure was a nice time to relax and just to get to know each other. She sure has a good family. I really enjoy being there and having that family feeling.
Then after there I went over to Pastor Chet's home and finished the evening eating there too. Sat around and just had a nice time talking with everyone there. There was a couple that came into town to visit with their daughter, Jen Lully and Michelo. They are from Ohio. Then a another couple there, Steven and I am sorry forgot his wife's name. They live here and their son went through Patmos #4. His name is Collin.
I really hope and pray that your Christmas was as nice as mine was. I really would like to say thank you to all of you that open your home to me. I really did have a lot of fun and great fellow shipping.

Great Christmas afternoon, at Heather's home

Christmas night at Pastor Chet's home.

Not sure, could be her.

This is the box he found, Maybe???

I beleive you all will enjoy this.

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years.
They had shared everything. They had talked about everything.
They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little
old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had
cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but
one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said
she would not recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took
down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.
She agreed that it was time that he should know what was
in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted
dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.
He asked her about the contents. 'When we were to be
married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy
marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry
with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.'
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back
tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry
with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost
burst with happiness. 'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll,
but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?'
'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'
A Prayer.......
Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods;
Because Lord, if I pray for Strength,
I'll beat him to , because I don't know how to crochet.

If you guys don't know, Tomoorow is Christmas Eve?

At this time I would love to just wish each and everyone of you all, a MERRY CHRISTMAS. I had a picture that I wanted to share, but it will not come up. It okay, the picture is one that each and every one of us needs to focus on this coming Christmas. It is a picture of a little boy and a big dog kneeing next to the boy's bed. They are Both praying to God. I just love that shot. Maybe I can find it tomorrow. Folks that is what we all should be doing each night. The reason is He is ALWAYS there to listen and He would love to hear from you too.
Please if you see any of my old friends or even family. Please give them all a BIG HUG for me and pass on the love that He has given each and every one of you out there.
It is not happy holidays, season greeting. It is MERRY CHRISTMAS. I love each and every one of you. I have written, I think to every one that has written to me. If not. I really do want to say thank you for all of your prayers and support you have given to me these many years. Remember MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND ALL A GOOD NIGHT.
Plus knowing this next year might even get worse. Remember Matt 6: 33, if you got my last e mail, I told you I didn't have my Bible to share with you His Words correctly. I lied, I had it and I was to lazy to get up and get it. So now you know I can lie. Okay back to the note.
Matt 6:33, But first seek His Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.

These are from Sunday morning.

Our Christmas Single's Dinner,

Last night was our Christmas get together, SINGLE"S

Yes it was party time last night. We as the Singles of Calvary Bible, had some fun. We all meet at this place called Sea Side. It is a place that you can eat all you want and even go back for more. It really was a nice place to eat and just have fellowship. I think every one went back for seconds and thirds too. The real nice part was how we had so many come out. I just love to see every one during these times. You know we are family and this time of the year is so great. Veda was the one that put this all together. She has been doing this now for a while. She had gifts for every one there plus even prizes for who won the different games we played too. Veda sure is one of the best in doing things right. They even gave me a nice Birthday/Christmas card. The card was beautiful and they felled it up with some green stuff too. I am soooooo blessed to have a family that cares so much for me and they are so willing to share and help me out. Folks I know I have family back in the states, BUT these family helps me and even supports me. The real nice thing is they do it cause they love me for who I am and they are the example of Christ. You know the verses that talk of not worrying. That would be Matt 6:24 to 33. They are the ones that He uses to help others out and are willing to do what it takes to make it happen. I thank each and every one of them and I have asked our Lord to keep them safe and bless them this time of the year.

Beautful day for a ride. Saturday 20th

This is a old one, but sooooo TRUE

*Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*See the PC Police had taken away,*
*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*
*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*
* December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.*
*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd! *
*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*
*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down* * At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.* *At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*
*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*
*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty* *Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen* *On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*
*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
* to speak of salvation and grace*
*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*
*So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'*
*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*
*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*
*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS , not Happy Holiday !*
Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet during the holidays a
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!

I would like to say thank you to all of you.

Yes yesterday was my birthday and it sure was nice to hear from so many of my friends. I received a couple a phone calls and got 6 e cards form people away. Well yesterday started out with reading some of the Psalms, I read Psalms 32. This is all about bring glory to Him. Folks please when you get a chance, this one is a keeper. Oh okay back to what I did. I left work and went to buy some DVDs. I got five of them. It is so neat how I can go down to my friend Carters and get DVDs for $1.00 each. These are ones that he has left over from over stock. Then I went Burger King and had a great burger. It is called a Steakhouse Burger. Check this out and I really enjoy it. It was a nice night and just enjoy a couple a movies. One Tranport #3 there was no ending. Then I watched College Road Trip. That one was a cute one. That had a ending. Okay I need to get going now. Talk with you later on.

Hey everyone out there.

Do you know that today is a special day. Yes it is. Toady is the day that the Wright Brother flew their first flight. Not sure what year it was, around 1903 I think. But they flew at Kitty Hawk NC. The only reason I know that is, that I know it is a special day for me tooooo. Toady I have turn 57 years old. Hey if you told me 12 years ago I would be a missionary and doing maintenance and things. I would have told you that YOU ARE CRAZY!!!!!! Before I became a Christian, I had a great job. I was working for a company called Madson and Barr they really treated me good and pay was even better. So today being 57 years old and being a missionary. CRAZY isn't it??? That right and I am loving it even more than I did before. Folks I am doing things I use to pay people to do for me.
Just a quit note. When I got here I was the Camp over seer. I had a few hours to kill so I went over to the Centre and on the way. I talked to God. Please Lord I don't want to change oil, or even work on any cars. I would like to do some wood work. OKAY. I get over there and see Will and ask him what needs to be done? He ask me to change the oil on the buses. I asked again anything else? He said the car here needs a oil change too. OKAY LORD I HEAR YOU.
So ever since that little talk with Him, I have been doing ALL the maintenance here. Don't ever tell God what you don't want to do.

It was sure nice to see our neighbors out.

It is so neat to see children in plays.

The pictures you see above are from last night. This was our outside play for the neighborhood. All that are in the play were children. You can hear their little hearts when they say their lines. It sure nice to see them being part of this. They could be out shopping, (older ones) for Christmas but they are here to give the neighbors a nice show. I have said this before and I will say it again. I love being part of this church. They really do make you feel part of the family. I know this is my place for now.
While talking about this. Maybe my time here is growing short. I went to the bank Sunday night and looked at my account. To my surprise???????? I have $262.23 in there. So by looking at that maybe this is God's way of showing me something. Please I am wanting to stay here. But if my funds don't chance shorting, I might be wanting something that He doesn't want. Please keep this in prayer and if He has tugged on your heart to help out. Please do so. I really do believe you will be blessed by Him. Oh well for today I am doing what needs to be done. Tomorrow we will see?????

Our Senior Choir of Calvary Bible Church

Hey we had our Christmas Service

Yes last night was our special Senior Choir show. This year they really did very well. It is the Christmas story done in music. I had a very small part in it. I was the Inn keeper that gave Joseph and Mary a place to stay. I really did have fun doing it. The reason is, I just acted out the part while guy named Bill Sands sang a song. During my time up there I just lip sung the song and acted it out. It really was a lot of fun. I have not seen any pictures of me yet. But the picture you see above is near the final part of the show. You can see the Baby Jesus, Mary , Joesph, and the wise guys. I felt really privilege to be part of the show. Tonight we are doing something a little different. Tonight it is out side and the parts are being played by some of the students that go to Calvary Bible. I have the privilege to bring three lambs to the show for the side. To make it look like a real stable. I hope to have pictures of that tomorrow morning. Okay enough about me.
How are you all doing out there??? I really hope and pray that this Christmas is one that He speaks to you and just loves on you too. I know the times are rough and I know a lot of friends out there that have lost their jobs, due to the world money ting. I really would love to hear from some of my friends that I have not heard from. Please e mail me at.
toms@alcbahamas.org

I know it's early, but I want to be the 1st.

With 2 weeks before Christmas REMEMBER:
Jesus is Better than Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or , What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.

Yes the Patmos that started out in Aug.2008

It just blows my mind how fast this time goes by. I just remember telling you all about how we have these kids coming in to start Patmos #4. I just want to say thank you all of you out there that have been praying for them and thinking about them. The sad part is we did lose three of them before it had finished. It is so neat to see them come in and then it is time for them to go back to that mean world again. The last couple of days that is pretty much what I have been hearing from the teachings I had a chance to be part of. All these students are going back to a world that has chanced a lot since they came here. You know what I mean? The money tings. They have heard about it and maybe even seen something about it on the inter net. But really going back and living in it now. They all have been taught about their walk with Him and how Pastor Chet is not the answer to there questions. The Holy Spirit is the One that helps them and give them the willingness and push to make it through those times. Please if you see any of these kids when they get back. Give them some Words on encouragement. I thank my Lord for letting me be part of their lives.

Patmos #4 has finished WELL

Dear loved ones

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor, and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements and TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is saying that my birthday is getting closer and closer.
It is really very nice to know that at least once a year some people think of Me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago.
At first people seemed to understand and be thankful for all that I did for them, but in these times no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration. I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite, and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor, and they didn't remember to send Me an invitation. The party was for Me, but when that great day came, I was left outside-they closed the door in my face. And... I wanted to be with them and share their table.
Truthfully, that didn't surprise Me because in the last few years all have closed their doors to Me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking, and there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything, having a grand ol' time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling, "Ho, ho, ho!" He seemed drunk as he sat on the sofa, and all the children ran to him screaming, "Santa Claus, Santa Claus", as if the party were in his honor.
At midnight all the people began to hug each other. I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug Me, but no one did! Then they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if maybe there was one for Me. After all, how would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you didn't get a one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.
Every year it gets worse. People only remember the eating, the drinking, the gifts, the parties, and nobody remembers Me. I would like it if this Christmas you would allow Me to enter into your life. I would like it if you would recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, my only desire is that you believe this with all your heart.
I want to share something further with you. As many didn't invite Me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined. I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations, and there is one for you. I want to know if you wish to attend, and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on my guest list will be invited to the party; those who don't respond to the invitation will be left outside. Be prepared so that when all is ready you can be part of my great party.
See you soon! I love you, Jesus
P.S. Please share this message with your loved ones before CHRISTmas!



.

These are my new friends and family now.

Good morning all,

Well last night we had our last Home Bible Study for the year. Can you believe this year is done already? It just seem like the time is going on so much faster these days than it did when I was a kid. Do you remember when you were 15 and you just couldn't wait to turn 16 so you can drive a car? Or what about when you were 17 and 18 seem so far away? So you could go out and be legal to drink? Oh well enough on that. So last night as our group is just starting to know each other, we need to take a break. You can understand, Christmas is just around the corner and everyone has tings to do and take care of.
Well last night was a treat too. Pastor Lee and his wife Nancy came out to help us get this group off with the right foot. It really was a blessing to just sit around and hear people's stories and just to help us to know a little more about each other. I am so glad that we are still together and going to be next year too. If you have read any of my blogs before? I have talked about maybe not keeping this group together? Oh well it sure is nice to know you have a family that is praying for you and just knowing that they care for each other too. Okay I need to get going now. Talk with you later on.
Hey anyone out there that would like to get in touch with me. Please e mail me and I would love to see what is going on in your lives. I know you all pretty much know about me. But I don't know about you?????
toms@alcbahamas.org

Remeber what I said about Christmas here?????

Hey our Christmas Lights Show is done.

That is right for the last couple of weeks we have been doing a drive through Christmas Light show. It really did well. I wish I could show more pictures but, I was in the road letting and telling people whe to come in and when to leave. It really was a not that much fun. You can understand I hope. Standing in the middle of the two lane road. Trying to stop the traffic or even dirret them. Boy I really enjoy it when they listened. Enough about that. the show was a hit and I heard people yesterday talking about it at church. I am so glad to be part of a ministry that wants people to know and hear about Jesus Christ. I did see some pictures yesterday from a friend, Veda. I asked her to send them to me. So I can share them with you all. I just wanted to say thank you so much for your prayers and just knowing that, I made it with out a mark on me. Seeing all those kids and how they left our place with BIG Smiles and just saying Merry Christmas while leaving. That a lone worth all the time and work we did to pull this off. Thank you again.

These are the Living Stones

It is startng to look like Christmas.

Last night we had a small ones doing their ting. They are called the Sonbeams. The bigger kids are called the Living Stones. It really was a nice time to just relax and watch and lesson. I have put up some pictures that I took and I thought you might like to see them. Folks it is that time CHRISTMAS. remember that this year. I have been hearing, even here in the Bahamas. Happy Holiday or Season Greeting. Please this is what is happening. Everyone wants to be polite and not to efend anyone. But I really don't care about that. This is why we have the day set a side. Christmas. Christ is with us. Please Please, don't let this world tell you that it is a holiday only. It is His birth and that is why He came to save us.

A couple of days ago found a problem.

Yes our Jeep as been making so noise. That is what I have been told. So I told them not to drive it. I turn around and it is gone again. So I guess they thought it was no problem. This last Monday I looked and told them to stop driving it. That day I took the brakes off and saw what you see below. No more pads and the rotor is grooved out. That is what happens when there is no more pad on the shoe. Please folks if you hear noises from your brakes. Please have someone look at them. The reason is that noise is to help you know when your brakes are wearing down. If you keep driving on them you will have to replace the rotors too. The pads are not to bad on price. In the states around $20.00 bucks. Rotor will cost another $50.00 or more. So please lesson to your car and take care of it. In the long run you will save money. You know like doing oil/filter chances. Changing your spark plugs and wires. Just don't drive your car to the ground. It will break down when you really don't need it to.

What the brake should look like.

An atheist was walking through the woods.

"What majestic trees!" "What powerful rivers!" "What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charging towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him.
He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the Atheist cried out, "Oh my God!"
Time Stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. "You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to cosmic . Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light and said, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?"
"Very Well," said the voice.
The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & kneeled down
"Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."

Good morning all.

It has been a busy week so far. But by His grace and wisdom I have made it to today. I am so bless to be here and be part of a wonderful team. Yesterday Pastor Chet had a staff meeting. Which it happen each first Tuesday of the month. Yesterdays' was a a rough one. The reason I say this is, he was telling us about all that is going on in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. We do hear things about how the money problems are getting worse each day. But this time it is hitting home too. At Calvary Chapel Ft. Laud. Maybe laying some people off. That has happen before. Pastor Chet was telling us that our church is doing every thing possible to keep every thing running. But as it stands now there might be a lay off. Plus we were told too that we here might have to lay some people off too. Folks this is crazy. The staff here is down to the bone now. All I know is that I just want every one I know to understand that this could very well be the seven years of famine. If you remember in Genesis 41:17 to30. Folks in the last seven years we have had it good and plenty. Now is the time to see the seven years of famine. This is just something we talked about yesterday. The way it looks could very much be true. So please for your sake and family. try to keep our team in prayer and even more so your family. Please if you believe this is true. I would love to hear from. Please e mail me at toms@alcbahamas.org
I am not trying to put a worry on you all. I just want you all to understand what this means. Please read Genesis 41 and you will see what MIGHT happen.

Women drivers, JOKE

I know everyone reading this will enjoy it - no matter which you are.
This morning on the Interstate, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Cadillac doing 65 mph with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner.
I looked away for a couple seconds !
And when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that makeup.
As a man, I don't scare easily. Out she scared me so much;
I dropped my electric shaver , which knocked the donut out of my other hand.
In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car
Using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my cell phone away from my ear which fell into the coffee between my legs, splashed, and burn, ruined the damn phone, soaked my trousers, and disconnected an important call.
women drivers!!

What a beautful evening last night.

Yes I made it through another Thanksgiving. What really is so neat is how when Thanksgiving comes by and goes then it is Christmas. Yes this morning I know there are many people out walking in the malls and shopping for that great bargins. If you guys knew me before. I was the one in front of all these crazy people at 5am waiting to get into the stores and buying and looking and even buying more. I do miss the action and watching all these crazies out there. But I don't miss the buying part. That is because now I know where my peace comes from. It is from above, our Lord Jesus Christ. I would buy something and the next day want to buy something else to please my wants. Folks it is All we need is His peace and LOVE. He will provide that and much more if only you would call apond His Name. Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savor. Please during this time of the year reflex on all that has happen in your life and realize the peace you are looking for is from Him and only Him. Please call on His Name today and receive that love and peace that only He can give you. Please if you have any questions at all. I would love to hear from you. E mail me at

We will be having our Funday.

It is so neat to see how fast our time is here. Yes this coming Friday and Saturday night is our Christmas Funday. It will be during Nov 28, 29 and then Dec. 5 and 6th. During this time people from around Bahamas will be coming in and driving around our porperty. We have a Scroogo theme. Yes Christ is in all of it and He is still being told of. At first when they told me about the theme, I questioned it. But I went around last night and listen to everyone lines. I am so happy to know His Word will be spoke of. By looking at the pictures you can see all we have done this year. There are double the amount of lights we used last year. By His grace they are all working and we have enough power to light them all.
Now the job that is before me?????? I will be out in the traffic trying to stop cars and just keep things flowing. I really am ASKING for prayer on that. Last year all I remember was how the people really didn't listen at all. By His grace and His loving care of me. I made it through. But I still remember how it was. I am asking for prayer, that people will slow down and just listen. Plus that each person gets a chance to hear His voice during this time.

Yes Christmas Funday is here.
