Prayers

I'm really worn down physically and mentally and would appreciate the support.  God is faithful so there must be a reason and purpose to be accomplished through this, I just don't know what it is yet.
The martyrs have always suffered for his name's sake, sis. I am pretty sure I know why it always seeems to be you. Those who can give so much and gain so little are the beacons to all of us who have much and still want. We are not the best of people, but take heart in seeing those who are the best forwarding the best in us all. Yes, we do pray for you and I am sure God hears, for his messengers have always been faithful. Bless you this day little sis, for there is no one like you and though we back benchers alwasy seem to be bickering and teasing, we always look to you as our solid rock of faith and humility, the one we would choose to follow to God's door.

Phantom continues to enjoy the view from the bell tower but realizes he'd better get down before it starts ringing again You better come down from there PII!

Sorry I have been absent for so long everyone. I've been moving and everyone knows how fun that is!
I just knew he was up there flying sorties and getting his bell rung. Moving? What beach are you assaulting now? I didn't get any warning order. Still just sitting here waiting, "hurry up and wait."

Hope your move came out well and this finds you doing well CB and hope all is well with you, Phantom. Have either of you seen our little brother jjoey?

Thanks and likewise to you! God Bless.

Hey, J. Good to hear from you again.

RTR&MGB!!!

Hey BAmaMAn, I've been off the boards for awhile, but am back now and miss your input over on the Bama board.  I hope to see you over there again.

Since I know you're a man of faith, I wanted to share with you that this past easter, at the age of 44, I accepted Jesus into my life and was baptized into the Catholic Church.  The study leading up to it and the baptism itself were life changing.

Hey Sir Rizzo. It has been a while. Good to hear from you again and a big Hallelujah and welcome into the family of God. His Word does have a tendency to change ones perspective on life.
Once the season starts I'll be a little more active on the sports forums. I look forward to renewing last year's friendships over there. As of late I have been establishing my internet Verse of the Day ministry here, at cfbparadise (on weekends +), at TBDPITL (where I am the site 'Chaplain'), and I recently started a Verse of the Day page on Facebook. It's kinda kept me a little busy.

Catch you later. Stay strong in the faith.

VOD 08/16/09: To Live, You Have to Believe…

Verse:

Psalms 14:1
   The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. (KJV)

Thought:

   There is no God!? That’s like saying there is no air to breath. That’s like saying there is no Sun, no Moon, no stars or universe. He is everywhere. He walked this earth with the original inhabitants and had His Son, Jesus, come and lay down the ultimate sacrifice so that we could have everlasting life. But in order to live, you have to believe in Him.

Prayer:

Our Heavenly Father,
   Thank You for this day and all of Your blessings. God of All, be with us today and have the Holy Spirit instill us with strength and perseverance to withstand those that would have us believe that You do not exist. Gird us with the spiritual armor of Your Word and stand beside us in our daily battle with the darker forces of this world.
   We lift our prayers up to You, our LORD and our Savior…Amen.


Good morning to one and all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours for a safe and pleasant day of worship and upcoming week.

May God Bless,
Michael

Hope your move came out well and this finds you doing well CB and hope all is well with you, Phantom. Have either of you seen our little brother jjoey?Hello Ogr! How are you doing? The move is going ok! I haven't seen jjoey but he's young! Maybe he has an ACTUAL social life?


Stu

Lord I pray for everyone on this thread. Only you know our needs and I lift each and every situation up to you this morning. In Jesus Christ name I pray. Amen.

Be blessed brothers and sisters!

VOD 08/17/09: Abusive Language Leads to Ungodliness…

Verse:

2 Timothy 2:16
   But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. (KJV)

Thought:

   Obscene uttering and egotistical boasting: What is the gain of such useless language? In what civilized environment is it deemed to be acceptable conduct? To use language that is unacceptable to God is to distance oneself from Him. The more a person uses it, the further he or she removes themselves from His blessings.

Prayer:

Our Heavenly Father,
   Thank You for this day and all of Your blessings. Lord, be with us today and have the Holy Spirit abide in our hearts and minds and bridle our tongues against using language that is offensive to You. Show us how we should conduct ourselves so we may exhibit to others Your Word personified.
   We lift our prayers up to You, our LORD and our Savior…Amen.


Good morning to one and all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours for a safe and pleasant day and week.

May God Bless,
Michael

OGR, I have been on the d/l for the past week or so, my necked locked up and couldn't move it at all.  My wife said I looked like Ed Sullivan.  I am feeling better now, but can always use prayer to prevent a re-occurence.  Greetings to all of the great people on this thread.

Joey cautiously makes his way back towards the church building, spots Phantom gawking out the bell tower and lobs a water balloon nailing Phantom in the side of the head.

Greetings and God bless you all

I went to bed normally last Wednesday night and woke up Friday in the ICU of the hospital.  No recollection of anything, but I'm told my EKG was extremely abnormal and that I a seizure and had CT scans of my head.  I don't know the results of that either, but they released me and I'm home again, feeling really creepy about falling asleep not knowing if or where I'll wake up!  I really need your prayers at this time.  I see the doctor Thursday.  A home health nurse came in after I got home, and the records she had under my name were definitely NOT MINE!!!  I'm lucky I didn't end up with an unnecessary surgery.

I really had to deal with walking by faith in this situation.  I felt like God no longer loved me, but we must all remember that our relationship with God is not based on what we FEEL because feelings change, but God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Our faith is based on what we KNOW about God and our relationship with Him.  Regardless of how I felt, I kept praying and I'm still here.  God never left me and will never leave any of us.

I keep everyone in prayer here and it's good to be back once more.  Be strong in the Lord and stand firm on His promises.
Sissy

My family will say a prayer for you tonight when we tuck our kids in. 

Love always through Christ the Almighty,
IWTB

Thanks, IWTB, and hugs and blessings to you and your wife and those little ones!  Good to see you!
Sissy

Sissy, My prayers for your health are ongoing. jjoey Good Shot! and I am praying for relief for your neck.

Mainstay – Believe
From the album – Become Who You Are

I don't know if I still have the strength to get up again
I don't know if I can face my own reflection
Jesus, take this heart that feels so cold again and make it new

I hold this hope inside that you'll never leave me

Chorus:
When all around me starts to fall and when my faith it seems so small
Even in my darkest hour, I will believe
Even if the sun begins to fall, even when I feel nothing at all
Even if I'm all alone, I will believe

I don't know how I could turn my back and walk away
All I really want is for your love to hold me
Jesus, take this heart and make it whole again

Chorus:

I know you'll never leave



This song always gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.  I hope you enjoy these lyrics half as much as I do

IWTB

IWTB, I can count on you to come up with music I like!  Thanks, bro!  Here's one I just heard today and had to stop and listen to:

Miracle of Mercy
Steven Curtis Chapman

If the truth was known
And a light was shown
On every hidden part of my soul
Most would turn away,
Shake their head and say
He still has such a long way to go
If the truth was know you'd see
That the only good in me
Is Jesus, oh it's Jesus

If the walls could speak
Of the times I've been weak
When everybody thought I was strong
Could I show my face
If it weren't for the grace
Of the one who's known the truth all along
If the walls could speak they'd say
That my only hope is the grace
Of Jesus, the grace of Jesus

But, oh the goodness and the grace in Him
He takes it all and makes it mine
And causes his light in me to shine
And he loves me with a love that never ends
Just as I am not as I do
Could this be real, could this be true
This could only be a miracle
This could only be the miracle of mercy
