Happy New Year 2009

This weekend is my birthday and I am more happy than I have ever been. I usually try to forget my birthday because all my life I usually have to go back to school or work on or just before my birthday. This year my birthday falls on a weekend and I will be 42 years old. Hallelujah!!!! I'm gonna love being 42 it just seems like such a great age to be. Some people may try to call me young and I know I'm not. Some will say I'm old and I'm not. I am 42 years old and I absolutely love it. Life and everything about it is becoming so much clearer to me now. I thank God like the old folks used to say, "for lettin' my golden moments roll on a just a little while longer." I know the key is to keep Christ first in life and think on the good things. The Apostle Paul lets me know in the fourth chapter of Philippians how to stay happy and healthy. He writes:
Philippians 4 (Contemporary English Version)
1Dear friends, I love you and long to see you. Please keep on being faithful to the Lord. You are my pride and joy.


Paul Encourages the Lord's Followers:


"Euodia and Syntyche, you belong to the Lord, so I beg you to stop arguing with each other. 3And, my true partner, I ask you to help them. These women have worked together with me and with Clement and with the others in spreading the good news. Their names are now written in the book of life. Always be glad because of the Lord! I will say it again: Be glad. Always be gentle with others. The Lord will soon be here. Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God. Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.
Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise. You know the teachings I gave you, and you know what you heard me say and saw me do. So follow my example. And God, who gives peace, will be with you."

God bless you my friends and hope you have a blessed and prosperous 2009. Take Care:)

P.S. I don't know why the date hasn't changed on this post but today is actually January 1, 2009 2:45 a.m. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Jesus said nothing so You can say it for Him - What a Word!

First Year Anniversary of this blog

Hi all,

A year ago I started this blog to communicate with members of my volunteer music ensemble. There has not been one response from any of them yet. Oh well. As the year draws to an end, I thank God for the opportunity to meditate on Christ in 2008. I hope I have been able to share some good word with someone. December 23, 2007 I started with 1 Peter 5:7 "Cast your cares on him for he cares for you." God does care for us he gave us his only begotten son Jesus the Christ to die for our sins. Thank God we live in a country that allows us to celebrate his miraculous Birthday. Continue in your walk with Christ my friends. I will continue to share the word of God with you but, I will also begin to chronicle my journey into the world of politics in the new year. God bless you all and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
