    "And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me."

    -Acts 26:15-18

    Wondering About God?

    Thou awakest us to delight in Thy praise; for Thou madest us for Thyself, and our heart is restless, until it repose in Thee.
    Grant me, Lord, to know and understand which is first, to call on Thee or to praise Thee?
    And, again, to know Thee or to call on Thee?
    For who can call on Thee, not knowing Thee?
    For he that knoweth Thee not, may call on Thee as other than Thou art.
    Or, is it rather, that we call on Thee that we may know Thee?
    But how shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
    Or how shall they believe without a preacher?
    And they that seek the Lord shall praise Him:
    for they that seek shall find Him,
    and they that find shall praise Him.
    I will seek Thee, Lord, by calling on Thee; and will call on Thee, believing in Thee; for to us hast Thou been preached.
    My faith, Lord, shall call on Thee, which Thou hast given me, wherewith Thou hast inspired me, through the Incarnation of Thy Son, through the ministry of the Preacher.
    -St. Agustine

    My son: Coliah! Throwin' some straight ones in 2006.







       God, please direct my thinking, especially that it be divorced from self pity, dishonest and self seeking motives. Show me throughout the day what my next step will be. Give me whatever I need to take care of whatever problems I face. Help me especially, Lord, to be free from self will. God, show me the way of patience, tolerance, kindliness, and love. God, save me from being angry. Please remove fear from me and direct me to what you would have me be. How can I be helpful to others? I pray for the willingness to be willing. God I offer myself to you - to build with me and do with me as you will. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do your will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Your Power, Your Love, and Your Way of Life. May I do your will always.

       God, take me in. Be the focus of my heart and mind. Please help me to renew myself. I know you will never fail me. My creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single sin, which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength O' Lord, as I go out from here, to do your bidding.....

       -Amen

About me:



Peace

to all my biking brothers in 2009...
May you know the Power of God,
and the comfort of His Presence.


'pre-z-n(t)s: something (as a spirit) felt or believed to be present.


The whole World is made desolate, because no man takes it to heart.

-Jeremiah 12:11





Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

-Psalm 42:11





"But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself;"
-Leviticus 19:34

"Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law."
-Romans 13:8

"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
-Galatians 5:14

"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
-John 13:35

"I am truly blessed to be chosen, to be a Brave Heart Saint."




Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe; That they all may be one; as You, Father, are in me, and I in thee, that they may also be one in us...

And the glory which thou gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and You in me, that they may be made perfect in being one; and that the world may know that You have sent me, and has loved them, as You have loved me.



-John 17:20-25










Who I'd like to meet:




BEING A BRAVEHEART SAINT

Living for God requires Faith & Fortitude; believing God's Word as written in the Bible. In me, Hope has spawned Faith, and Faith is the springboard for Fortitude; which is a gift from God, and from Fortitude comes courage. The absence of courage is cowardness, and in the excess of self it is recklessness, which neither has a place in the life of a Braveheart Saint. In honoring all my friendships, this requires a humble estimation of myself, which is this: I need others. My life is all about getting into action; God's Holy Word gives wisdom about what I should do, as a result, I have to use this judgment in everything I do.
My only will power begins and ends right there. So therefore, choice is at the heart of me living my promise and keeping my word.
Should I choose to reach up to God, could I bring him down? Or be fueled by self will and brute force, and lift grace from this chaos? I choose...to surrender to God. This is really my only responsibility, to give him my life, and all the things in it to his care, and my will to his guidance. Because being a man of God requires only one thing I got: a little faith, and a few friends, and the gift of hope.

There are times when I can't see God or feel God. Being around my friends helps relieve me of my burden, and allows me to get back in touch with God. God gives me strength. That strength comes from living as much as I can in a relationship with God, knowing he is watching over me, and is cares for me, my life and everything in it. Being with the Saints, and the other fellowships who share this enlightenment, is a great source of hope for me.




















Unhappy is the soul enslaved by the love of anything that is mortal.

-Saint Augustine.











WHY AM I DIFFERENT?

Serving God dosen't have to involve a moral dilemma: the necessity to choose between competing desires in circumstances that prevent you from doing both. Putting my life in God's hands brings the thing that I should do first, right to me. Being the better: as a Husband, Father, Employee, and Friend. But there is one thing more to it than just that; Faith is at the heart of my actions.

"But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"-James 2:20.

Knowing God's Word and an understanding of what is right and wrong, dosen't mean anything unless it is coupled to action. Step by step each piece of the foundation of my life is laid; day by day from God, His Divine Word, & through people and experiences, I learn and grow. My thoughts aren't always in the right place, but my actions can be. God has given me some power over my body, so by doing the right thing,right thinking may follow. So, to feel good...you have to do good things.



Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

-Joshua 24:14-15





A DAILY COMMITMENT

A sincere determination and dedication to be honest, to myself & everyone I meet, is essential. It is a discipline for me, and my own personal vow. So, what is the ingredient that enables me to fulfill this vow? Having Godly pride? A sense of duty? Fortitude? No, it is this:

A God given strength, which comes from giving my life to God, and to live by his moral principles.

God enables me to overcome my difficulties, like removing from me most selfishness, most dishonesty, and a lot of feelings of self pity.
This daily commitment: giving my life to God, and humbly seeking God's will, is the value that has established me as the man that my family respects, follows, and depends on.

    This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
    But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
    (Matthew 1:18-21 NIV)

    Gabe, Hope you're staying dry and being blessed. See you at church on Sunday. I want to ask you about the difference between a Dunlop 401, 402 and 404 tire. The 401 and 402 have "Harley Davidson" printed on the sidewall. Other than that, what's the difference? I'll listen to my answer at church. God bless. L&R, O.C.
