Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
Living dangerous for GOD is stepping past the fear the world produces, taking the light of JESUS and shining HIM into our very dark world. We are to take the "Good News or Gospel" to the unsaved, and when we step out in faith to do so, we put ourselves on the front lines of this huge spiritual battle. I encourage you all to place your faith in CHRIST, put the ARMOR of GOD on, and be counted in the good fight of faith. Is it dangerous? Yes, but GOD has asked us to take the message to every person in the whole world. Where does GOD say that? In Mark 16:15...
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

I am nursing a sinus infection tonight, so I will be brief and leave you with this quote from an unknown author...
"Be the kind of Christian that when you wake up in the morning and your feet hit the floor, the devil screams, 'NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!'"
GOD bless you! :-D
Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
I am so proud of my husband! He is my hero! Today he was promoted to Staff Sergeant! Usually a superior would pin him, but today our family was able to help out.
Our daughter Alyssa, took off his old rank, then I pinned him with his new rank, then our son Brandon came and punched him in the chest. Punching in the chest after pinning on new rank is an Army tradition, and Brandon was too happy to accommodate his daddy on that one...LOL!!! He was able to punch his dad without getting in trouble...LOL!
I am so thankful to GOD for giving me a wonderful husband, and a wonderful dad to our kids. We are truly blessed! I love you GOD!!!
Here is the video of my hero receiving his new rank. It was very windy today outside NATO headquarters here in Belgium, so excuse the audio.

This story is soooo good!! Not only is this a great read, but I hope this will be a reminder to all to do a "Check In" of your own. GOD bless you all!
A minister passing through his church
in the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar
and see who had come to pray.
Just then the back door opened,
a man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw
the man hadn't shaved in a while.
His shirt was kinda shabby
and his coat was worn and frayed,
the man knelt, he bowed his head,
Then rose and walked away.
In the days that followed,
each noon time came this chap,
each time he knelt just for a moment,
A lunch pail in his lap.
Well, the minister's suspicions grew,
with robbery a main fear,
He decided to stop the man and ask him,
'What are you doing here?'
The old man said, he worked down the road.
Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
For finding strength and power.
'I stay only moments, see,
because the factory is so far away;
as I kneel here talking to the Lord,
This is kinda what I say:
'I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS
FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM CHECKING IN TODAY.'
The minister feeling foolish,
told Jim, that was fine.
He told the man he was welcome
To come and pray just anytime.
Time to go, Jim smiled, said 'Thanks.'
He hurried to the door.
The minister knelt at the altar,
he'd never done it before.
His cold heart melted,
warmed with love,
and met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed, in his heart,
he repeated old Jim's prayer:
'I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS
FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY.'
Past noon one day, the minister noticed
that old Jim hadn't come.
As more days passed without Jim,
he began to worry some.
At the factory, he asked about him,
learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
But he'd given them a thrill.
The week that Jim was with them,
Brought changes in the ward..
His smiles, a joy contagious.
Changed people, were his reward.
The head nurse couldn't understand
why Jim was so glad,
when no flowers, calls or cards came,
Not a visitor he had.
The minister stayed by his bed,
He voiced the nurse's concern:
No friends came to show they cared.
He had nowhere to turn.
Looking surprised, old Jim spoke
up and with a winsome smile;
'the nurse is wrong, she couldn't know,
that he's in here all the while
everyday at noon He's here,
a dear friend of mine, you see,
He sits right down, takes my hand,
Leans over and says to me:
'I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP, AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN.
ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY, I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY, AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS CHECKING IN TODAY.'
Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
I love children! I also love the funny things they say!! These short stories are so funny, and I just had to post it. I hope you all enjoy these as much as we did. GOD bless you all.
A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd. While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, ".....I was being the Ring Bear."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
One Sunday in a Midwest City, a young child was "acting up" during the morning worship hour. The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing the battle. Finally, the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out.....Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little boy called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"
---------------------------------------------------------------
One particular four-year old prayed, "....And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
---------------------------------------------------------------
A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time just like I am."
---------------------------------------------------------------
A Sunday School teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "....Because people are sleeping."
---------------------------------------------------------------
A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, looking at the old pages as he turned them. Then something fell out of the Bible. He picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that has been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked. With astonishment in the young boy's voice he answered, "It's Adam's suit".
---------------------------------------------------------------
The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles and jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Six-year old Angie, and her four-year old brother, Joel, were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough. "You're not supposed to talk out loud in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.
Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers."
---------------------------------------------------------------
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked,
"Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?"
I mentally polished my halo, while I asked, "No, how are we alike?"
"You're both old," he replied.
---------------------------------------------------------------
A ten-year old, under the tutelage of her grandmother, was becoming quite knowledgeable about the Bible. Then, one day, she floored her grandmother by asking, "Which Virgin was the mother of Jesus? The virgin Mary or the King James Virgin.
Too Cute!!!
