Resolutions.... ?????

It is not only a new calendar year but I realize it is another decade that fades into the recesses of memory. It has been time of survival and new experiences. Obstacles and issues have often hindered or delayed progress.


It has never been my practice to make New Year’s resolutions because of all the hoopla and failures of others who have done so. But maybe I now step up to the plate and make an exception for this year and see how it plays out. This may be my rebel nature finally surfacing.

Perhaps every decision I made or others made for me weren’t thoroughly thought through but nonetheless they were done. Consequences will follow as it is with anything. Generally all has not been too devastating; some of the worst has turned out to bring benefits as well as new perspectives and new friends. The torture of feeling mistreated and ignored often overwhelmed those things that had been validated in my life. It is time to face a new period of my life.

As I approach this New Year and decade, I resolve to focus on the right stuff. I don’t want to get caught up in any faction that brings division to friendships and destroys livelihoods. Phoniness stinks.

Time has brought a sense of my ability to express feelings and opinions that are strongly supported through the knowledge of God’s Word that I have instilled within me for the majority of my life. I do not always have to be a “yes” man to simply find favor with someone. As God’s child I am highly favored.

I resolve to continue to serve my church and family with renewed spiritual strength that will sustain us in the difficulties of life. I want the joy of the Lord to permeate my being and be my strength.

I resolve to maintain healthy habits in my diet.

I resolve to continue in honesty of expressing my feelings.

I resolve to be as productive and active as my body and health permit.

I resolve to be a better husband and love my wife more, and tell her so.

I resolve to read through the Bible in this year and listen to God speak.

Is blogging revealing?

 I have considered the response to this question after much examination of past postings and current situations. I believe the reader of these posts can possibly read between the lines and discover the authentic individual, the real me, who wrote the blog. It is a discovery that we definitely live in a hurting but healing world. I have found consolation in writing from my heart and disclosing my sentiments.

I have previously described my posts as “therapy”. I continue to have that same point of view. Through the process of composing my soul becomes aligned to a better and more complete view of my life purpose. The intrusion is my disregard to follow-through and be proactive. I must become accountable to the principles set forth “in the lines and between the lines”. Adaptation and change are not always going to be easy, but absolutely necessary.

I, like most others, have my likes and dislikes about changes on the job. For example, I am having a very difficult time with updated programs on my work computer. I find the new computer keyboard is more difficult for me personally to manipulate as well as the mouse for some reason. (It’s probably just me.) However, I must try to adapt and make the best of it.

Life is full of lessons, if only you and I will learn them. My intention in writing these posts is to assist us both in living life as intended. I am a Christian who believes in the fullness of the Good News brought to us through Jesus Christ. If I fail, He forgives me as I ask and offer my true repentance, and likewise He will do for you. Enjoy life and be full of the Joy of the Lord!

UPDATE

Here we are again at the close of another year. It is amusing how everybody is getting older, the kids are growing up, the memory is short-circuiting on the present, but the past is real clear. I just wanted to write a few words to update things happening in our life.


It has been a busy year for us as a family; love was in the air. Micah got married in August to Ashley. That meant much work earlier in the year for family and friends. My wife did an outstanding job with the decorations; I am proud of her and her work. We are thankful for all the support. I was blessed to officiate the wedding and pronounce them husband and wife.

I am still working for the Housing Authority as a Family Service Coordinator, Carolyn works keeping things up at home and one day a week for our dear friends. Micah remains employed at Vie Del and Ashley is working for the largest retailer in America, Wal Mart. They are living with us temporarily until the economy improves (God willing) and they can save enough to get their own place. Titus , our puppy dog is still with us, although a pain sometimes to accommodate we still love him. He will be nine years old in February; is that 63 in dog years? Wow! If so he is almost as old as me. I did become entitled to Medicare in October, oh my!

During the course of the year we have occasioned trips to the “Happiest Place on Earth.” I’m not sure about renewing our annual passes in April. We do plan a few more trips that way after the holidays. Carolyn and I got to go for three days in November and our friends let us use their motor home. We had a wonderful time. Got some shopping done too while there. I am a big fan of Jiminy Cricket and I finally found a limited edition piece that I purchased which is about eight inches in height, a real nice piece for my collection. Carolyn is still into Cinderella and she got a Marie Osmond Cinderella doll. The kids are into their vinylmations and we got them a couple of things, I think they liked them.

I greet all the readers of this post with best wishes for a blessed Christmas season and an improved new year. Keep Christ at the center and acknowledge His grace to all you come into contact with.

Moving On Up

I am not certain of where all the time has escaped since my last post. This blog has obviously become a low priority item on my list. However, maybe now I can move it up a notch or two. Only time will tell.


It has been a very busy era of life for us. Our son is now married and is residing with his bride in our upstairs. He is currently working seven days a week during harvest and is exhausted. His wife is working for a famous retailer. Challenges have been faced and conquerored, but continue to rise but victory is ours.

Work has also submitted its challenge to me with loss of personnel and workload increases. There have been so many changes in such short period of time with many difficult clients to deal with.

The best part of this time has been the culmination of a healing from personal wounds that ran deep. I complied with Matthew 5:23; the response I received was given with obvious bias and guilt sent my direction. I refuse to revisit the pain and misunderstandings of that past event. It is time to move on!

We are stronger now in our faith than before. The church organization is no longer our crutch. There I no need to rely on personalities or nepotism to be successful.

We are now actively involved in an amazing church fellowship. My wife and I have been asked to participate in the elder prayer team at close of services. We are hosting a small group study beginning in February 2011; we are currently in training. There are so many opportunities to serve. We have met some very wonderful maturing Christian people. This is our first time to actively attend such a large church (estimated 1,300 attendees at this time). We experience great teaching and worship each time we attend.

WOW!

Busyness has preoccupied my time to prevent blog posting. Sometimes you just have to set priorities and unfortunately, blogging is low on the list. However, I do feel the need of the therapy it provides and maybe I can soon return to this part of my world to be expressive and creative.

The wedding mentioned in my previous post has taken place. The bride and groom are settling in their new relationship. We are all adjusting to this big change and working on getting things done to bring success to their lives. Hopefully pictures can be soon forthcoming, whenever I get them from my sources.

Work has been very busy too. Makes the days go fast but tires me out. The neurologist has got me on new medication and it may be affecting my tiredness. I do sleep well at night, but my wife says I really snore. What can I say now?

Waggonner Goings On

In case you have an interest in what has happened to us this blog can provide some deeper insight if you want to read past posts.

Currently we are doing quite well in spite of many obstacles thrown our way. We have learned a lot about friendship and betrayal. The paths of darkness that we have traveled lately are no longer stretches of great magnitude. Contentment has fallen upon us that are difficult to explain. Our disassociation from previous affiliations was humanly forced, ugly and improper but turned to good by the God we serve.

My summation of the matter that confronted us smack in the face and removed us from full time ministry is: “sorry for them, good for us”. I am truly disappointed in a vast number who are in leadership in the organization. I do not believe they have fully executed their responsibility in accordance with God’s mandate to train. My eyes have been opened to this deficit. I have asked God to forgive me of my blindness and flawed focus of ministry that I pursued for a time. I was seeking man’s approval and promotion rather than walking in the fullness of my God given ministry.

Currently we remain in our new 2,769 square foot home we purchased in 2007. We have retained possession in spite of the economy and lack of employment for nine months. We are in a very nice quiet neighborhood with kind neighbors. All bills were kept current.

God provided a very good job for me. I am a Family Service Coordinator for a housing authority. Carolyn continues to maintain our home and just recently started working for a friend one day a week to earn a little extra. Micah continues to work and will soon enjoin married life. God has blessed us all with wonderful health for which we are so grateful.

Although I soon will be 65 years old I do not plan on retiring unless I inherit a good fortune. I do not engage in pulpit ministry activities unless called upon. My job serves as a great opportunity to minister to a multitude of searching peoples fallen upon hard times. I do hold credentials as a doctor of divinity and ordained bishop. I am excited about life and what the future holds in spite of all the bad press. I would encourage all to "look up, your redemption is near."

Networking for Gain

The social networks accessible by internet lend themselves to a variety of use. There are luring ads that end up costing the gullible more than they anticipated. Offers of winnings that have minutely written disclaimers are abundant. I have seen these advertisements, announcements, and petitions posted by individuals, businesses, and assorted groups. What a tool of deceit and deception! Illusion of immediate gain is a great advantage in this modern system of communication.


Sadly I have observed begging through this media that disappoints me. This method of panhandling is rather subtle and usually represents someone who wants to publicly display a shortage that exists in their life. This could also infer their lack of resourcefulness to resolve life’s obstacles.


I could certainly use extra funds to ease my burden of bills. For example: If I purchase the latest expensive and unnecessary hi-tech item and cannot pay my rent because the money was misused for my pleasure should I expect anyone else to bail me out of my predicament by posting my stress to all on my social network?


Everyone comes upon hard times. I don’t want to be a beggar. My confidence must truly be in God, my provider. He can come through in those times through true face-to-face relationships, not electronic transmissions.

Is posting your needs a matter of putting trust in the omnipotent God who supplies? Is it like taking an offering for your own lack of faith? Do you hope to obtain cash or gifts to declare God is faithful in supplying your needs? I read in my Bible that “motives are weighed by the Lord.”


Consider also that this type of display will show a discerning person how poor of a steward you are in the first place. However, the Bible says, “Let your request be known.” Is that a valid argument to support internet panhandling?

REPOST OF MY EARLIEST BLOG

I feel it is necessary to repost this blog for those who may have missed it or wonder what happened to us.

WHERE HAVE ALL MY SERMONS GONE

Yep, when I was "evicted"as pastor from the church I began the process of vacating my office. I packed up my pens, pencils, paper, equipment, etc. One of the things I did was dispose of all the sermon notes I had cataloged and preserved in binders. I must say some of them were really good. The 100's of notes had been used, unused, revised and revised again during a period of more than 30 years of ministry. I had never been treated with such disdain by so-called Christians. I taught and preached the Word of God without fear or favor. Hours of prayer and study had been applied to formulate homiletical sermons for the congregations I served in. It could be said some had impact and others were kind of missing something. My last sermon was on Walking In The Spirit. I was told by my superior that it was not appropriate (he didn't even hear it). My response is that I preach what God wants delivered: I obey God rather than man. The price was high but I would do it all over again and with more conviction than then. Well all the notes went into the dumpster at that church and who knows where they ended up, perhaps in some earth-filled dump I suppose. Maybe someone discovered them prior to the trash pick-up and they live on. I don't care. But now I have you to know that the disposal I made of them was my symbolic expression of how the people trashed me. These sermons are stored on CD's. Yeah, isn't that a kick? It was only ink-filled paper that was dumped, but the messages live on in data form accessible on any PC. Perhaps soon I will publish them on a blog. Hang around and see what happens. Father, forgive them for they knew not what they did.

HEY PREACHER!

Now that I have your attention I want to ask you a very serious question and expand upon its theme with additional thought provoking questions:



First, what are your motives?



Do you perform your ministry out of job profession obligation or God’s love?

Are your goals and intents pure through the call of God?

Are you truly called to your place of ministry?

Is there a spirit of competitiveness within your bosom to become important?

Are you self-aggrandizing to advance in your profession?

Do you crave for hierarchical attention?

Do you please people more than God?

Do you succumb to whims of contributors for the sake of survival?

Is the role of finances more important than the truth that may offend?

Are you joyful in your relationship with the Lord?

Is your family a constant sacrifice for the sake of the church?

Do your sermons reap maturity in the listeners?

Is the size of your congregation more important than the quality of relationships?

Is your “boss” the denomination or God?

Does your community know you exist?

Are you impacting your community effectively?

Do you impose your questionable convictions upon your congregants?

Are your people skills honed and effective?



I believe the above questions will, when answered truthfully, help evaluate your true purpose. Everybody needs change in their life, including preachers. It is critical for the preacher to understand that it is God who weighs our motives. He is the judge we will stand before. We need to continue to be transformed through our rethinking of what is important and what is trivia.



I am truly astounded at the ineptness that is exhibited by preachers who have no formal training. I suggest you apply yourself of available resources. If you are going to write, use correct grammar and punctuation. Be able to support your hypothesis or give good argument for your stance. Check your statements after backing away from them for a while. Reread what you wrote or have someone close to you critique your writing. Don’t unintentionally fall into a pit of unnecessary muck through misuse of the language art. Remember the media of the internet reaches a large audience.

Escape From Presumption

Recent life events have led me to a “know so” perspective. There is now more clarity of direction and purpose for my life. A certain confidence is within my spirit. In my introverted personality I had failed to realize my individuality. Personalizing comments regarding my activities and endeavors have to take their rightful place and not remain offensive. I certainly need to take charge and not feel intimidated or competitive with my peers or others of seeming powerful influence. There is no need for me to “kiss up”. I can now say that I am finding my own way with respect of good advice and counsel that is given with true concern of my life. I believe in myself more and will not succumb to put-downs by those who do not know the whole facts.


My assertions in the above paragraph are meant to assist the reader in finding their rightful place in life too. Each of our life assignments must be taken under the guidance of Scripture and the wisdom imparted to us through life experiences. We should not avoid counsel and advice of family and friends, but ultimately we will have to take responsibility for our decision and suffer the choice, right or wrong. Not all advice and criticism is valid. Weigh each piece of information with the tools you have been given: your sound mind, Scripture, and common sense. A view to the future is advantageous.

Competitiveness should be conducive to personal growth. This is matter of doing what you have been called to do; finish the race God has put you in with integrity and character always in place. I will no longer allow false or phony presumption to overrule truth unfolding in my life.

Wannabes, Ponder This .....

I chuckle about people who must put themselves out front to be acknowledged. They thrive on attention. Their efforts to obtain response are not always subtle. It seems as though they have something deep within that is crying for attention. They love to have attention lavished on them and their particular situation. Many would describe their personality as extroverted. I might describe it as obnoxious.


It is true that everyone has a desire to be appreciated and recognized in a positive and received manner. Each individual, extrovert and introvert, has a God given destiny to fulfill in life and when we attain goals toward that destiny acknowledgement or praise is deserved and earned. Our life purpose cannot always be ascertained immediately because of the comparison mode each of us find ourselves encumbered by so often. There will be failures along the way to our destiny. Distractions can interfere with our duty to perform. We also have to combat the external forces of jealousy and possibly even hatred.

Some people are takers and others are contributors. Self-sacrifice for the benefit of others is a rare character trait. “Wannabe” attitude overwhelms the average person. Motivation comes at varying levels. Pats on the back can often sustain us in moments of slow down. There are also many emotional events that assist or prevent attainment of goals.

Society can make or break individuals as well as groups of cooperative people. We have to revert back to where our real strength of perseverance comes from. Is it the God we reverently serve? Is it our ego we loudly declare?

I will no longer let people dictate my conscience or determine my destiny. I am determined to walk in the paths that my great Shepherd leads.

OUR HOPE

May the true meaning of Easter come to light in the souls of men. My cry is for humanity to grasp the truth of Christianity that will ultimately redeem all responding individuals. It saddens my heart that there will be those among humanity that will reject God’s plan and thus be lost forever by their own choice. For God is not willing that any perish (John 3:17).

My message to the president would be: Please SERVE our nation, not with your own party’s agenda, but rather with the heartbeat of compassion for doing what is right in God’s sight. Of course if you don’t believe in God and His Son, then we are all in trouble. Do not compromise the Declaration of Independence and Constitution by forcing laws and liberal thinking upon us contrary to the original intent of our founding forefathers.

My hope does not lie in government but rather in the resurrection power of Jesus Christ my Lord. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.

I would also like to note the sacrifices of our nation’s military on this occasion. A co-workers son was recently injured in Afghanistan and is in critical but stable condition. Photos brought me to reality of what is really happening. These men and women desire our support and we must pray for them and the nation they are serving in.

An Apology

You may not deem it necessary for me to apologize for not posting for more than a month. However, I must do so for my own sake, because my intentions were to post at least twice a month some little thought or my much needed therapy.


In this post I would just like to say that it has been a very busy season with work issues and exciting family things that will come to light in a future post. I hope my readers will continue to check out information in the future here.

Many of the readers I have are contacts through Facebook. I find this tool amazing and informative. I remain interested in people of my past even though they may have gone different directions or could care less about me. Long relationships should be cherished if possible. But I must remind myself that it is a two way street. If they choose not to remain in contact I must accept their rejection of friendship gracefully and let God heal.

Thanks for stopping by/ Check back often. Hope to post regularly again soon.

Healing of Time

My writing about the terrible wrongdoing against my person and family has become a soiled spot in my life that is fading with each passing day. The odious act is blending in with the background of my life. The stain will remain for posterity, but I will be clean from its stigma. I only reiterate it briefly here to make a point. The expression that “time heals all wounds” has some semblance of truth. Although my anger has diminished, there remains a need to continue therapy through this method.

I have learned lessons from the experience that will be reflected in how I manage my future. I now realize the insignificance and ineptness of those who masterminded the offense. I loudly proclaim that we did not just disappear from the scene or ride off into the sunset to die in the desert of despair. They may have liked or expected it that way. They must recognize the requirement to repent and apologize with true remorse to affect my reception of any expression of “sorry” now. The injury they inflicted knowingly and wantonly upon me, my integrity, and family must be understood. This was a very serious alliance against us. Their expectation of no retribution for such appalling operation is absurd. The anguish we initially felt was very deep and difficult to get over. We have crossed over into a better land of promise.

I have determined to shake it off and get on with God’s call in my life within the boundaries He allows. My course has been altered but God has made the crooked places straight for me to follow. To permit myself to fester over the incident only brings me down to their level. The abandonment and betrayal now serve as my strength to rely more upon God; I want to live on a level far above the devil.

The meaning of Romans 8:28 is clearly revealed through God’s demonstration of caring oversight and protection for us in spite of the jealousy and ill-will directed toward us. His amazing grace sustains us. I no longer want to avenge myself; I am blessed in a most improved way. I am no longer bound by traditions and schedules. Trying to please those of authority is not contributing to my success; I was misguided.

The Lord says, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.” My Lord is just. Any vengeance of poor health, financial struggles, marital problems, and the like all are permitted from the heavenly. Hopefully the lessons can be quickly learned and repentance proffered.

My sights are now focused upon fulfilling God’s will in my life. I am determined to not allow any past event ruin my future as determined and led by God. Reference to the event will be used in the future to emphasize God’s power and provision. I do not serve man and acknowledge that it is better to obey than sacrifice. New doors have opened for us in manners that are amazing. My current job allows me the freedom necessary to influence through counsel many people, staff and clients. It is truly ministry. I also use the internet through blogging and podcasting to get God’s message out. (Check out these two sites: http://lwaggonner.blogspot.com/ and http://lawman45.podbean.com/#.) Plans are to eventually get a website of my own and post materials, podcasts, and video blogs. My intent is to keep real and avoid religious platitudes that are shunned by most of society. I want my message to touch and transform lives, not make somebody religious. We have too much religion and not enough relationship in the world already.

Adherents to legalism need to take note. You have put on the appearance of holiness but Jesus spoke to the Pharisees and said they were, “full of dead men’s bones.” By subjecting and imposing your rules on others you too are prone to be Pharisaical. Surely you are smarter than a Pharisee. Might I suggest you establish and live your own convictions and respect differences? Remember, God looks on the heart, not the outward appearance. I believe it is our attitude that determines our altitude. Living in the true liberty of Christ will ensure our place in heaven. That liberty will not infringe upon any one else’s liberty. The Bible declares Christ is the vine and we are the branches and cautions us to abide in the vine. My life (limb) may be adjacent to yours or far away, but our source of life is one in the same.

This is not to excuse or even forget what occurred in the past. It may well serve as a launch pad for dealing with serious matters in life as time continues to march on. Every event in our life can destroy or impart blessings to us. I must choose to live above my circumstances and not let them get my spirit down. It is also important that I not be used by Satan to bring destruction to someone else’s life.

Wisdom?

(February 2, 2010) I went to the dentist. I had to have one of my wisdom teeth extracted, the upper left. Actually it went quite well along with a deep cleaning for part of my teeth. The extracted tooth had an unfixable cavity. It did remove the tooth ache pain I had been having for several days. I only experienced soreness and tenderness of the gum for a time.

I made several comedic remarks on Facebook about the loss of some of my wisdom. I know it really is only a moniker for the tooth identity.

According to Wikipedia, “A wisdom tooth is in humans any of the usually four third molars, including mandibular third molar and maxillary third molar. Wisdom teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. They are generally thought to be called wisdom teeth because they appear so late—much later than the other teeth, at an age where people are presumably "wiser" than as a child, when the other teeth erupt. The English wisdom tooth is derived from Latin dens sapientiae. The same root is shared by numerous other languages. There exists a Dutch folk etymology which states that the Dutch word for wisdom tooth verstandskies is derived from "far-standing" (ver-staand) molar, and that mistranslations of the Dutch word (in which verstand translates to wisdom) are the root for corresponding words in other European languages.”

I thought this was interesting information. Further etymology of “wisdom teeth” can be found on the Wikipedia website as well as other sites.

I did enjoy having fun with all my friends and playing on the word usage. The nice thing about the extraction was the removal of pain. This reminds me of life, when we get rid of the source of our trouble things are improved. It’s kind of ironic to discuss the removal of a “wisdom” tooth to lessen our pain.

A Return to the Past but Looking to the Futue

Our recent opportunity to return to fellowship and minister to a community of believers of our past was comfortable and felt normal. It was if we had never left and yet we realize it was over eleven years since we moved away. We had returned a few times on short visits but none of them were like this time. It was so comforting and encouraging to be received with such open arms and graciousness. We felt appreciated and loved. I must say this is really the consistency of Christ’s love that should be practiced by all congregations. Their receptivity to our presence and the messages is a reflection on the positive leadership they have. In our hearts we desire to be with them permanently again, however, we must let God direct our steps and continue to be lead by His Holy Spirit.

We live our life in the spirit of Romans 8:28. The past events can be used as learning tools for our future; it can never be rewritten or redone. No matter how hard we try, we cannot change the past. Now we have to press on to improving our talents and abilities with God’s will to be the primary directive for the present and the future. In the meantime, if we error, we should ask for forgiveness and continue the journey onward to the prize of the high calling. Someone once said, “Yesterday is a cancelled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, but today is ready cash so use it wisely.” If I spend all my time living with regret I will not have time for today or tomorrow.

“Don’t worry!” “Be Happy!” Good words to live by. Fretting over what cannot be changed saps your energy to do what can be done. Our trust and confidence must be in the Lord who takes care of us today and knows what the future holds. Finding contentment is knowing who holds the future.

BUSY!

I have recently slacked in writing for this blog. My excuses include working on other matters ad nauseum. I believe that is my final answer. In any case I hope the reader has had good things happening in their life during this lull. It is not as though nothing was going on, for things were transpiring.



A couple of things I’m doing to take my time from writing for this blog are developing a podcast and working on an organizational plan for “stuff.” It is my desire to implement both of these events. So far I’ve completed one podcast with the assistance of my son as the producer and my wife as director. The feedback on the podcast has been very positive. My goal is to post one podcast every week; they will be no longer than 10 minutes each. I will not divulge the depths of the organizational task at this time, but I do intend to keep on track as much as possible. (I’m already behind though.)



The next two weekends will take us out of town for ministry.(I’m going to get more behind.) We look forward to make the connection with old friends in another community. I am thankful that their grace has superseded all other disconnections imposed on us.



My next posts I will try to reflect on the experience of our visit and write something profound.

Pilot Podcast Now Posted

My first podcast has been produced and posted. You can listen to this 8 minute production by clicking on the link to the right of this page under Podcast (lawman45). Your feedback is appreciated and helpful.

Reconnecting

This month my wife and I have a blessed opportunity to reconnect with church family from another community we were part of several years ago. We will be with them for three week-ends. These are God loving people for sure. They do not mind expressing their feelings toward us with the love of Christ. These attributes are what makes the Christian life make sense.
I have the distinct privilege of providing pulpit ministry to them during these visits. They are attentive and receptive, that makes it a great joy to preach and share messages. They accept us and the message in its total content, good and bad. Our lives are enriched by knowing them. These are the kind of people I want to be in Heaven with for sure.

These people readily accepted us initially. They assisted us when we have gone through difficult times. They continue to believe in us. Wow! What a great privilege to know them all.

NEW YEAR

Here we are in the year 2010. I don’t know where the time has gone. In 2009 we saw some tough economy but God certainly kept us with our head above water financially. The cash accounts are truly bone dry presently but that gives Him opportunity to let it never run out like the prophet did for the widow and her meal barrel. I look for a blessed year, spiritually and financially and it will be a God thing.


This year I plan to do a podcast with my son’s assistance. I’m not sure of the topics I will indulge in discussing at this time but stay tuned and I will let you know. I want them to be helpful to the listener with nourishment to satisfy their hunger and thirst for things of God. If this works out we might even graduate to a video blog; time will tell and experience will happen I’m sure.
