Hey about five years ago, I started buying these kind of garden hoses. The reason is. they are easy to store and just put out of the way, when not using. But since I use these to wash pretty much everything. When we go out in the boat, I put a pail and (Small bottle of Dawn, soap and 100 foot hose back of the truck, this way. When we are done using the boat. We can pull in the wash area of the boat ramp. Wash off the sea water and whatever else is on it. The reason is, the ocean is not the cleanest to put a boat into.
Plus, when Roy and I go to wash houses at Spanish Country Club Park. Same thing, I have the soap (House Wash) and a hose to clean these homes. I really like the way the hose is so flexible and easy to use. Then afterwards to store back into the pail.
Okay why am not explaining the pictures?
Back to washing our house, Jeanne was using a 50ft hose, watering her flowers and that hose busted. My baby got a free shower.
I was using the 100ft hose. I was washing the house down. I got the back done and coming around the front. Got the front all washed and making the corner to get the last side. The hose popped a hole in it. Now I got a shower. Man, that sure made me get a little mad. I finished cleaning the house and came in the told Jeanne we will be buying some good hoses next.
Okay Monday Roy and I have a small job to do. I needed things form Home Depot. So, I got them and brought old hoses in. I asked the guy there, is there anything better to buy, that is as easy to store and flexible as these? He told, not that he knows of. So I asked him to exchange these? No problem, go get what you want and we will exchange them. I went in the garden department and looked at what else they have. They did have another kind of flexible hose, but only 50 foot.
I brought the new hoses back up to him. I just got new ones and maybe the next time?
Boy I am sure cheap. But looking back, I think this is the third time I exchanged the 100 foot hose before? So we will give them another try.
Well folks, today is Thursday April 6th. Tomorrow is Good Friday. I really hope and pray that everyone out there, takes the time to pray and really seek His Face this week-end.
On Tuesday evening Jeanne and I went to see Jesus Revolution.
I know the story very well, The gentlemen that started Calvary Chapel. Chuck Smith story plus Greg Laurie start his ministry.
Folks I became a Christian, Oct 26th 1996. I was asked by friends to come to this place in Fort Lauderdale back then. I went a couple of times. Thinking, I went to Catholic School and Church. I am not suppose, to go to any other church. Okay like I said I went a couple of times. I really felt The Spirit there and I was very comfortable being there. I think, it was the third time I went? Pastor Bob, was not even done teaching The Word. I ran up and gave my life to Jesus that evening. After that night, I am what they call a BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN.
I love that church so much, I even gave two weeks notice at the U Liner Pipe Company. The funny thing that happen. I went and talked with Steve (Operations Manger) at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He told me that they will be hiring in a while. I walked away and asked God, WHAT? Okay I started working for this sub shop down near the beach. I was their delivery driver. I think I did that for 8 months or so, they hired a couple more drivers and I was not making enough money working there. So I looked around and found another business that needed a shipper for their product. Ritz Safety. They sold all kind a of safety items. I was at work one day and got a phone call, from Steve Young. He asked if we could have lunch one day? Sure can. I think this was two years plus. We had lunch and offered me a job. I gave my two notice and work there from 1999 to 2005. My job was, set up guy. That means setting up chairs and whatever is needed for the night classes and all that was going on then. Folks, then I was asked by Randy Greby (started the Adventure Learning Centre and Camp) To come to the Bahamas for a while and help out. I prayed about it and asked others, pastors what they think? They all pretty much asked me what do I think? I believe I am called to go.
I left Calvary, June 2, 2005 and was at ALC for the next 9 years. Left there 2014. Came back to the states and worked at Calvary Chapel for another 2 more years. Retired 2016.
So folks each and everyone of us, have a story to share. I really pray that, when He calls you. That you are willing to go and serve Him to the fullest.
Back to the movie, during it I thought about how neat OUR LORD IS. He can use any one and He does.
Remember, HE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH.
