I have a diverse field of intrests ranging from physcial sciences to partical physics. I like hunting, fishing, camping, conoeing, backpacking, motorcycle riding. I love people and understanding how things work, including people. I am not a genius or anywhere near it, but I am pretty knowledgeable.
THE THING IS........
All of this is temporal. And all of it is meaningless if it is not drawing me closer to God and just as important, causing others to come closer to God.
Music
I listen only to christian music with lyrics that glorify God or declare His way in my life. Old hyms are okay I guess, if your into them. Unfortunately most of the ones I have heard can be summed up in this verse "life sucks, it's horrible, but at least I am saved, and will one day be filled with joy when I'm in the presence of the Lord."
LISTEN... God does not want your life to suck. Life is tough, it's unfair, you don't always get many breaks, and the undeserving seem to get off better then the deserving (I use that term very loosely). BUT GOD wants to put JOY in your heart TODAY!!!! Ask Him to put a song in your spirit. Sing joyous songs to the Lord, even in the worst of circumstances and see what happens!! GOD IS GREAT!!!

CAMP HOPE:
God has blessed me with a place to build a home, but not just any home. A place for homeless families in need to come and stay for awhile as a part of my family. Filled with chours and famiy life. A safe place to be while we, as a family, deal with their issues so that they may be restored to society as Godly, resposable, contributing, people.
Also for the labors of the Lord to come and rest and renew their strength. I am supriesed at the number of people who have stepped out on faith with nothing but trust in the Lord to carry them through. Almost everyone of them feel alone and isolated. A warm dry place to stay for a spell is the least I can do.

Purify yourself from everything that contaminates your mind and your spirit, perfecting HOLINESS out of REVERANCE for GOD.
My eyes and my ears are the gateways to my soul. Whatever I allow in through these gateways will will go down to my heart and either build up this man in Christ or tear him down. Therefor guard carefully these gateways, that you may not be found lacking in any way of the good things from our heavenly father.
My heros.... People who walk in faith, trusting in the Lord, reguardless of what faces them.
You are probably my hero IF you are letting GOD direct your life IF you belive and trust in Him when He says He will do the impossable.
I spent alot of years drink'in & smok'in & party'in. There has been alot of pain and destroyed lives in my wake. Then God! Wow! What can I say - God is Good! On an April 15th at about 7pm, I was sitting on my pourch steps (I lived back in the woods) about to light a smoke when it happened. The smoke was in my mouth, lighter lit and in my hand, when suddenly everything stopped. No wind, no crickets, no frogs, just an audible voice that caused every cell in my body to listen.
He said "PURIFY YOURSELF BEFORE YOU PRESENT YOURSELF TO ME."
The next thing I knew I was in a very dark place, darker then a room with the lights turned off at night. It was cold all the way down to my soul. It was the most horrible thing imaginable. NO warmth, NO love, NO human contact, NO light, NO joy, EMPTINESS, DARKNESS, SUFFERING BEYOND DISCRIPTION, a total seperation from GOD; and it seemed like an etrinity.
Suddenly, I was back on my pourch with the smoke in my mouth, the lighter out and in my hand, and HE spoke agian "YOU ARE MAN WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW THAT I GOD DO NOT KNOW"
Then it was over.
I couldn't tell you how long it lasted. It was a moment and an eternity all wrapped up in one. When it was over it was dark (probably about 9pm) but I don't really know. That began my journey to find God.
In that moment of time I learned several things...
1) GOD is REAL!
2) GOD is an entity unto himself - meanning, He is concious, alive, and powerful.
3) I would have to stand before God and give justification for myself.
4) I had no justification and my judgement was total, permanent seperation from God.
5) I was no where near as smart as I thought I was.
6) There was a way to reverse or stop that judgement and that was to 'purifiy myself before I present myself to God'
Hi Mickey :) I had Camp Hope on my heart today and when praying,I kept thinking what a fitting name it is for your vision. Definition of Hope:
1. A wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation of its fulfillment. 2. Something that is hoped for or desired: Success is our hope. 3. One that is a source of or reason for hope: the team's only hope for victory. Be blessed!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday my dearest Mickey....Happy Birthday to YOU!!!!!! Ily forever and one day!!!!MUAH xoxoxoxoxox
