My walk

(I forgot that I had previously written this in early December...)

Wow. It's been a long while since I last updated this site. SOO MUCH has happened. I've now been blessed with 2 grandchildren (Noel and Eli), my oldest friend and musical companion Eric Zinsli passed away (alcohol related, like Aaron Waller), Jim Summer (Guitarist in Pillar) also passed away (in his sleep), Shad Higgins is being treated for Cancer (neck area), and I heard that Paul Chandler was having some physical issues as well...We're Falling Apart!

I've been on vacation early this year myself due to Shoulder Surgery for a bad shoulder tear.

A mountain of death, injury, and suffering. Feels like a lot, and It really is. So much suffering for families to deal with, and at times too much for me to deal with. Like anyone, I fight sadness and depression, the desire to quit, feelings of hopelessness and anger. I sincerely love all these guys named above. The real suffering, for me, is knowing that there is little I can do for the living, and NOTHING I can do for the dead.

I can try and share my faith with those whom want to listen, but for those who are gone...they are gone. I cannot console them; nor can I share my hope that has been given me (hopefully the Kingdom message was accepted). Perhaps I have failed them... I may never really know, but I will press onward, and be more for those whom remain, focusing on what is truth, and what I know.

I know, with all of my heart, that Jesus was born the perfect Son of God 2000 years ago. I know that he was fully human; yet, fully God. Not A god, but THE God. Begotten Of God (means "made from the same stuff of..."), and worthy to be called perfect in every way, so that he was uniquely qualified to work as a "Ransom Sacrifice" for the sins of all mankind. He took on the Sin of the entire world, and let it die with him. He died a tragic-tortured and bloody death of beatings and crucifixion, upon a wooden cross that he dragged through the filthy streets upon his own back. 3 days later, he rose again to full life...eternal life.

He did this for you, He did this for ME. He did this for every person ever born or ever will be born. He bought your life with his. And he did it for only ONE reason, because he love US! You can choose to reject this love, this devotion to you for life, but it comes at a price as well. He has promised an eternal home for you. This is HOPE. Hope is a dying commodity these days. If you want this eternal hope for something other than utter nothingness, consider this offer. It's FREE.

He is God. He is also Jesus the savior (don't beat yourself up if it seems a little bit confusing). He is not only the ONE person qualified to make this offer, but he was the ONLY one willing to die for it to come into fruition. My life is better. Every true believer in Jesus will tell you the same thing. Take 60 seconds to make the only decision in your life that will have an eternal value.

Tell Jesus that "I AM SORRY for the sin that has separated us my whole life". "PLEASE FORGIVE ME for that Sin, and I will follow YOU instead of that Sin and turn my back to it", tell him "I accept your heavenly promise of eternity with you, and I long to know you more".
