Two years ago, when we first got our laptop, I heard about this thing called Facebook. I decided to check it out. My class from high school were having a reunion and in the email they sent out, it said that Facebook was a really good way to stay in touch with old classmates etc! So I checked it out. I nosed around a little bit and thought that it was interesting, so I joined. My wife was like "what! You are not the Facebook type." So the addiction began.
I added friends quickly. People from school whom I hadn't seen in many years, Classmates that were either ahead of me or behind me in school. It didn't matter. Soon to follow were family members, and then people from church. This went on and on, in fact it is still going on.
At first I posted very little. I just kind of watched other friends posts and then comment on them. Then one particular dangerous weather day on my way to work, I posted and thanked GOD for getting me to work safely. The response to that post was very positive to say the least. Well that got me started on posting more and more. Everyday I would post and thank GOD for getting me to work, or whatever happened to me that day. The responses kept getting better and better.
Then my Facebook page morphed into almost a daily scripture passage. I would pick out something that GOD had layed on my heart from the Bible and post it on Facebook. That was very well recieved!
So now, my Facebook page consists of Bible passages, uplifting messages, uplifting video's and prayer. I may make an occassional misstep and post something that isn't really me. Usually someone will call me on it and I'll re-think what I have posted and either remove it or appologize for it. I am not perfect by any means. Unfortunately I have had a few "friends" de-friend me because of my postings, and that is too bad. If people don't want to see my posts on my faith and beliefs then that is their choice. I will not change what I am posting. I am being a light to my Facebook world. I am spreading the Gospel to as many people as I can. If people don't like it, than they can de-friend me. I am not ashamed of the Gospel and I am certainly not ashamed of Jesus Christ! I praise Him for being able to do this. I praise the name of Jesus Christ for whom everything is accomplished! PRAISE GOD!!

Tired
I applied for two jobs in the last week or so. Today I recieved the rejection emails from both of them. I am getting tired of sending out resume after resume and getting nothing in return. I have been unemployed since June of 2010 and I have had probably a total of five interviews in that time span.
Every job I apply for, I am a perfect fit for it. They are for the same postition that I held at my other job. Yet no call, no interview. Today's rejection email was especially painful, because it was at a place that I have been volunteering at for the last 8 1/2 months. I thought that this was in the bag. I have been doing essentially the same responsibilites volunteering as I would be doing for the job. I have already had my immunizations for working with the public, I know my around the hospital, etc. They didn't even offer me an interview. I am not saying that they should hire me, but at least grant me an interview. All of the time that I have given that place, and doing all of the things that they ask me to. I took it as a slap in the face! I may just give up my volunteering gig there.
Jeremiah 29:11For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
I have been standing on that verse for the last year and change. It is getting really hard to do now. I am getting tired of getting nowwhere! I have a lot to offer a job. I feel like my talents are just going to waste sitting at home! I sure hope that Bible verse is accurate! I have been and will continue to trust in GOD!

Foregiveness!
God's foregiveness is wonderful isn't it! I am reminded of this all the time. I have been hearing a lot of stories lately that remind me that I am forgiven.
Some people in my life have been making some bad choices, and then their parents have to bail them out. This happens time and again. I keep thinking to myself "when are they going to cut them off, and say no longer?" Then I am reminded of God's foregiveness. I think of all the times that I have made a wrong choice and had to have God get me out of it. He does it over and over, and never stops loving me. He gives me chance after chance to get it right. Praise GOD!!
I used to get some serious road rage going (I am getting better, but it is still there) when people would make a stupid move. Driving extremely fast or slow. Switching lanes without signaling, etc, etc. I would start to yell and complain, and then God would reveal to me that I used to do the same things. Uh-oh, convicted! By God's grace, I was forgiven for those offenses. So I needed to do the same to the other drivers. Not my job to judge. Praise GOD!
God is working on my patientence with people pulling out in front of me. People speeding. People doing all kinds of dumb things, which I was once a part of! God has forgiven me and he expects me to do the same!
I thank God for his forgiveness! Everyday! I do not want to be cut off from Him for something stupid I did! I want to live for Jesus and walk in His way everday! That should be everybody's goal in life!
