The waiting is about finished.
March 6, 2010With the advent of daylight savings time and racing season almost here your blood should be flowing a little better if not I have only one question are you alive ?
Every fall I complain about two things the end of racing in western Pa and not enough daylight but guess what both are coming again,this reminds me that as we wait for Easter it has the same story line only it is Jesus that is coming back.
The difference in Jesus return and daylight savings and racing season is we know when the last two will happen but not Jesus return the Bible tells us no man knows the hour of his return so my question to you is are you ready regardless when it happens.
The question from most people is how can I know and the answer is very simple you simply ask Jesus to come into your life and have a personal relationship with him ,this sounds so easy in this complicated world,but it is easy if you read the gospel of John chapter 3 and read the entire chapter it will change your life like it did mine but only if you mean it and let it.
Don’t wait until Easter or even one minute longer do it now and I can assure you your life will never be the same then Easter will have the real meaning it is supposed to.

COMMITMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 1, 2010This is a big word and many times it has flowed out of my mouth with little or no substance I wonder if anyone else has this problem,or is just unique to my life.
I came across this statment and thought I would sare it with you,(Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.) my version is when you come to the end of your rope tie a knot and hang on.
The last four months have been a series of hanging on and tying knots some how when we are put in a stressful situation this seems to come naturally.
Judy has been put in a very difficult position and none of it is her fault she has and continues to be a strong lady in this time ,will you close your eyes and imagine having your normal life altered to the extent of being bed fast and enduring inordinate pain,not a plesant thought,and you only have to imagine ,she is living it.
I will be the first to tell you it has been a great adjustment for me and I dont have the pain but so far Jesus has blessed me with Commitment and will continue as long as I keep my part of the deal,that is where you come into the picture if you see my commitment level going down in any way get me back on track.
Judy and I look forward to the time when we will be through this ordeal and then encourage others to hang in for as long as it takes, if life is worth living it is worth the commitment we have to make.
Easter is fast approaching and it reminds me of that word again Jesus was commited to his calling too the cross for our salvation I cant speak for you but only for myself I am very very thankful for his commitment for me ,how about you,think about it and let me know.

A time to reflect.
February 23, 2010The time of Easter is viewed in many ways depending on who you are and what it really means to you,when I was a little boy it had a very different meaning than now,then it meant choclate candy hard boiled eggs and time off from school,the sad thing is for some we have never gone beyond this mind set.
Over many years Easter has taken on a new meaning for me ,I still enjoy the candy and eggs but they have little to do with the actual celebration,the real meaning for me is the resurection of Jesus and the promise of new life and pardon of sin in my life,how about you.
In this information age and the avalibility of information we should all be informed of the real meaning of Easter if you have questions let me encourage you to do some serious searching for truth,I will tell you it will change your life forever.
If you think I am off base please tell me I will love and respect you even more.
Trusting Jesus for you,
Bill
