Jeremiah 31:34
No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."

Spring is Here
Yes, there is a Spring after Winter. We moved about 2 months ago to Statesboro, Ga. I never though it would be so cold in this area. Some days the low would be about 22 degrees. Enough about the weather.
Not long ago two men passed away. But you say that men and women pass away everyday, which is true. But these two men impacted the people they touched in a large way. Micheal Guido and Paul Harvey are the two men. Though I never was introduced to them their personality is well known to most. This is very odd but I will share it with you. My family visited Metter, Ga. not long ago, a small town not far off I16. Located in Metter, Ga. is Guido Gardens named after The Sower, of this generation, Mr Guideo. A peaceful place to be, during this peaceful visit, Mr. Guido was inside being attended to by medical personnel. He was actually revived, this was hard to taken when we found out the next day that he had went to be with his Master later that night.
Though Paul Harvey, actually is living the real live "rest of the story" as he is well known for. I understand Mr. Harvey lived a Christan life.
I may never have my name on a water tower or a radio show. I hope that God uses me and I am where He want me to be.

FROM THE PEACEMAKER MINISTRIES: peacemeal
Ask, Seek, Knock ... and Knock Again
If a brother sins against you, go and show him his fault,
just between the two of you. Matthew 18:15
Be prepared for the fact that your first meeting may not be successful. Since the other person may doubt your sincerity or may not be accustomed to dealing with differences in such a direct and honest way, your initial attempt at reconciliation may do nothing more than plant seeds that you will need to cultivate in following days. The Greek verb used for "go" in Matthew 18:15 implies a continual action.

Food for Thought
How often do you give up after only one try?
Her name was Carol. She had been hospitalized for almost a month when the young chaplain knocked on her door. He entered the room and greeted her warmly; however, the temperature in return was nothing but cool. He tried again to initiate deep, spiritual, peacemaking conversation but she would have none of it. Direct eye contact and putting his best foot forward was going nowhere fast; after a few more one-sided questions, he promised to return tomorrow and check on her. She said, "I hope I'm gone by then."
Unfortunately, the same scenario played itself out the next time he visited Carol and the next time and the next time and the next. But he kept on knocking. And then one day, in the fullness of time, he knocked on her door, announced "it's the chaplain" and she said, "Please come in." He found her previously hardened face now softened by tears. She talked, wept, and his visit lasted almost an hour. She seemed peace-full when he left. During the three months of her stay, there were numerous visits after that, sometimes talking and other days just playing cards. But the young chaplain learned a valuable lesson in walking with Carol in her illness: your initial attempt at reconciliation may do nothing more than plant seeds that you will need to cultivate in the following days. In peacemaking, it's not three strikes and you're out -- no, it may be six knocks and you're finally in. Keep on knocking.

AS I TURN TO UNDEREMPLOYED
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. HEBREWS 11:1
Where's my faith? Has any one seen it? Who do I trust in, Jesus or my own works... WELL...
Sitting in church this morning something popped in my little mind... maybe I have been looking for the wrong job.
After too many interviews a few diappointments... at times "chasing my tail"
I heard this preacher on TV explain this when you hold your problem up to God which is larger...something to think about.
