My thanks go out to those that have been praying for me and this ministry. I still need your prayers. It is actually a miracle that I am walking. God is still in the miracle business! Praise the Lord! My back has not wanted to cooperate with my hips. I honestly at times feel like I have been dropped off a three story building on my head. However, I am still walking! I just would like to go greater distances like I used to. Agree with me in prayer for the needed weight loss. I have tried a little of everything to loss weight, only to gain. I hope the Lord to just say the word and everything happens to begin the process of losing. There is something that is blocking the fat burning process. I used to get about 10,000 steps a day and maintain the same weight. I am on the surface healthy otherwise.
I thank the Lord my Blood pressure is great, Cholestral,Blood suger is perfect . I just started a new Liquid Vitamin that is available at Sam's Club. It only cost $12.58 a bottle for 32 days supply. It has a lot of good vitamins and Juices like Mangosteen, Acai, Goji, Noni,Blueberry. You might try it out if your looking to improve your health and wellbeing.
I hope everything is going great in your life, If you would like to make a comment to this blog you are welcome. I would love to recieve your positive comments. Let me know how this blog or my ministry blog at www.jrsblogspot.com has spoke to you. I have been recieving some rather interesting comments from someone that are just garbled text and web links. I am praying for those who view my sites and I am sure these people have something better to do with there time than send meaningless text and type. Jesus Loves you! and that is what I hope the main message of my ministry and life is- God's Love! Also if you've come to this point and wondered who in the world I am. I am just a born again Christian, living for the Lord! You may go a step further and I challenge you to know that my sites are safe. I am not trolling for Folks on the net to do them any harm in any way. There is alot being said in the media about that because of others who have used the net for some rather bad things. If you need to do a search on someones background, you can do it for free at www.criminalsearches.com . You will by the Grace of God, find nothing on me! And I plan on it staying that way!!!! No question has came up, However, I want to diffend my space on the net . From Facebook to Myspace page to my webpages, it's all safe on my end. Enough said. 
Pray for me as I pray for you!!!     profile at    www.myspace.com/jrishere2

J.R. on Tract for Jesus!  in Huntsville Alabama - The Space capital of the World!

President Obama on his recent trip to Turkey told those assembled in a Speech that America was not a Christian Nation!
Granted we are a nation that is comprised of many nationalities and faiths, However, We were founded on Christian principles.
The bible says "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" that doesn't mean the president is Lord by any means. However, it means we look to Jesus Christ . Pray for the President and our leaders! Now more than ever we need to seek our Christian roots and the Lord Jesus during these economic times. It is the only way that our country may continue to experience what blessings it may have for future generations. Should Jesus not come back for the Church as soon as expected.
On a different note I found this and wanted to share it with you.

During this current time in the nation and the world

1. Be Cheerful.

2. Smile at people

3. Call people by their names.

4. Be friendly and helpful.

5. Be nice and see the good.

6. Be generous with praise, love and money.

7. Be interested in everyone.

8. Consider the feelings of others.

9. Give service when you can.

10. Be considerate of the opinion of others.

Prayer changes things!  pray for this country and the nations of the world.
Pray for my ministry and the things we will do, Go to www.ontractforjesusministries.org
Hope this finds you well! God bless you and your family!

John L. Rasmussen On tract another day for Jesus!

What's bugging you can either bring you closer to God, or drive you away. You have a choice. You can also either become bitter or better! I have chose closer to God and better not bitter. The last 25 years of my life have had it's challenges. From time to time it can drive you to your knees in prayer. Something I never knew until the troubles of life. I never knew the power of prayer and what it can do. I am still believing for a lot of good things to happen in my life. The bible says if you lose you life for Christ you will find it. I don't know how much more I can lose at this point. However even at some of my worst days, I've had it better than those living in improverished circumstances. I've had a roof over my head and plenty to eat, a car to drive and other comforts of life. And yes I've taken them for granted. Growing up I didn't know about homeless people in the U.S. until after highschool. Without my parents I don't know where I would have been. I am thankful to the Lord for allowing me to have parents that have helped me when I couldn't help myself. So what am I getting to after saying all this. Many years ago I let the voice of one employee in my Landscape maintenance business to help bring about the sale of my business. I had given my all to my business and employees. They were paid before I ever was, all the time.
However , I let this employee and his negative comments to influence the sale of a thriving company. I sold the business and went into Real Estate sales and made some other bad investments. I spent  a little under two years in real estate only to lose it all. My health, my income was gone. If you have read this blog and some of its early entrys. I talk alittle about those times. So it comes down to this, Pray and seek God about your decisions. Do not let the voice of one and maybe a host others help make a decision. What is the Spirit of God impressing upon you. The bible says: Commit your way to the Lord and your thoughts will be established. Also many are the plans of man, however, God directs the steps. Commit your plans to the Lord and they shall succeed. If only I knew what the bible said in those areas of decision making, things might have been a liitle different. However, I had to go through some of those things to help change me. The bible says: My people perish due to a lack of knowledge. I hope I know now what I need to know.
I am always learning even now. I laugh and tell my parents I've pressed the easy button. Have you seen the Staples store easy button, you press it and it says "That was easy!" I've got one on my desk! My great nieces get a kick out of pressing the button and hearing it. I don't know what the Future holds, However, God holds the future! and future is as bright as the promises of God!
I've been through some of the diffuculties of life, I am looking for a brighter future in Christ! I pray that for you as well! Seek God While he may be found! Those that seek the Lord, shall lack no good thing!

I call myself waiting on the Lord. I really need a move of the Lord in all areas of my life. I am ready for my ministry and all the things

My website design expertise is limited to What you see is what you get designing, not raw HTML language. Pray for this ministry and it's supply and direction. I  am also in hopes of hearing from more people about how our sites may have affected there life. We are getting hits from alot of points around the Globe. Last year we had a responce from Pakistan. All I know is at this point is to ask you to pray, I hope everything is going well in the lives of those who click by this blog and our sites. I know prayer changes things and I am highly expectant of answers to prayer in the future. Be sure to read previous post to this site and my ministry blog of www.jrsblogspot.com

It's cold here in Huntsville Alabama on Christmas Day as I update this blog. We had Christmas at my Nieces house yesterday.
I wanted to take this time to tell you I have a new Facebook page. If you would like to become one of my friends do a friend
search for my name John Lewis Rasmussen. I would be glad to have you added as one of my online friends. If you don't have a Facebook account, sign up today. It is simple to do! I had the following sent to me in an email and want to share it again with you, I believe I put it last year on my ministry blog , however here it is:

JESUS vs Santa Claus? Posted: 23 Dec 2008 10:16 PM CST Happy Christmas & a Glorious New Year 2009! (^_^) REMEMBER: Jesus is Better than Santa Santa lives at the North Pole. JESUS is everywhere. Santa rides in a sleigh. JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water. Santa comes but once a year. JESUS is an ever-present help. Santa fills your stockings with goodies. JESUS supplies all your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited. JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart. You have to stand in line to see Santa. JESUS is as close as the mention of His name. Santa lets you sit on his lap. JESUS lets you rest in His arms. Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?" JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads. JESUS has a heart full of love. JESUS offers health, help and hope. Santa says "You better not cry". JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you. Santa's little helpers make toys. JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions. Santa may make you chuckle but JESUS gives you joy that is your strength. While Santa puts gifts under your tree, JESUS became our gift and died on the tree. It's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put Christ back in Christmas. Jesus is still the reason for the season. May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2008 And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year 2009!

Have a Great Day in the Lord!  after all it's his Birthday! not Ours!

God Bless you today and allways!

Your friend in Christ,

John Lewis Rasmussen,  A.k.a-  J.R.   or Bubber as my nieces say- or the Teddy Bear.

This morning I went to the Bank and was making a deposit outside. The Lady that waited on me told me I couldn't leave any pens in the money tube. Usually when I leave a outside bank tube, I have been leaving a ministry pen imprinted with our websites and the phrase "Jesus Loves you" imprinted on it for the next customer. The Teller lady said Her bank managers wife came up after me and found the pen and thought she was putting them in the tube. I did'nt intend for the teller to get in trouble, in fact I never thought of such! The Teller told them she hadn't been putting them in the tube. Granted the teller lady might not need to be putting them in there without the
approval of upper management. Of course I would probably be putting them with or without the approval of management. Especially if I thought the Lord wanted me to do it at work. The Bible says that in the Last Days, The Love of many shall wax cold. That is the whole purpose of my site www.livn4jc.com it has the "Jesus Loves you!" message on the first page. Don't be afraid to share the message of Love. Many people need it today!
I grew up not hearing my parents say I Love you! among our family. My mother said later about it, that you just knew. Well I knew my parents took good care of me, no doubt or complaint, and that was probably a sign of love.
But when I was at my lowest point in life, I needed to hear it from someone! That is why I have a Car tag that says "Smile God Loves you!" It was a tag like that meant the world to me many years ago. In Fact one time on my birthday I seen 8 tags through out the day that said that. Call it happenstance or whatever, I felt that God had made my day! Lets not limit how God may want to work in your life and the lives of others! If the banks would share 10 percent in tithes to the church or his work, they may be less likely to go bankrupt! I would welcome them giving to my ministry! We need it! and can put it to good use! Which brings up something, Pray for my ministry. I am so ready to go to a new level in ministry. There are things we need to continue. However, everything is in his time! I know that! I am in need of a Vehicle. Thanks for your prayers! Pray for the new president, the troops, the country and its people! I said enough now. Check out my ministry site www.ontractforjesusministries.org 

God Bless you!    www.jrsblogspot.com  ministry blog

John Rasmussen, A.K.A. J.R or Bubber, as my nieces call me!

It's been a long summer, at least it seems like it! I haven't posted for a long while. I have had slow internet connections and really could'nt get into the control panel well for this blog on my dial up system. However as of this morning, a day before the election, that has changed. Praise the Lord I have moved up to a quicker internet connection with a 3G aircard for my laptop. Which means I can go anywhere and use my computer and make blog entries as well as at home. On a different note,  I have been dealing with knees that are supposedly affected with Arthiritis. I have been where I couldn't hardly move! The Doctor gave me a shot in each knee! ouch! it worked and my knees are fluid again. We recently were able to go to the Chattanooga Aquirium and view the fishes. I had a great time with my Mom and Dad and my Nieces girls and Husband. It was a work out for my knees to say the least, I came back with knee pain that monday. It went away thankfully! The election is tommorow and I am looking forward to the process being over! I must admit to your I am a long time Republican, since the days of Ronald Reagan. I however am not voting for party tomorrow, but the Candidates and there policies. I believe the Lord is leading me to vote for McCain/Palin. And yes of course they are republican! But that had nothing to do with it this time. I don't believe you can practically buy an election through having so much money for campaign ads an a big showing. It's not and should not be about Celebrity status. Senator McCain has far more experience and has served our Country in the War and has proven to be a True American under harsh circumstances when he was in Vietnam. I believe he has the makings of a true Commander in Chief. Not a celebrity type profile ready for the likes of Hollywood. When Reagan ran, it was not about him being an actor in his past and having a celebrity presence. He stood for the business man and the freedom to choose. Tommorow follow your spirit lead, God guided choice for President! Pray seek God! I believe he has showed me already! If you vote democrat I will still call you friend! I hope you do the same for me!   Till the next blog entrie, check out my ministry blog at www.jrsblogspot.com 

God Bless you!

Your friend in Christ,

J.R.
