Well as they say in Australia! good day mate! or to my blog readers- good day friends! It has been a while since my last entry. I have been updating my ministry blog rather regular. www.jrsblogspot.com . If you haven't checked it out click by when you get a chance. I have been thinking about my next blog entry for a while now. I had one already typed out in another format, all I had to do was copy and paste into the blog software, however, that went with the system reformat I had to do, I had to completely wipe my hard drive, that blog entry was the only document that did not get backed up to disk. As I said from the beginning this blog would be about my life ongoing and the past. Maybe what I share with you will help you in your journey of life. I wish they had gave you book about basic life. There are things they don't teach you in high school, that should be required for every day living. They don't really teach you the reasons why you should not get involved in crime, however, I knew better about that. I knew I didn't want to do anything that involved the possibility of spending time in a jail cell. They are teaching that more now days with the Dare Program I think, however, I don't know that some are getting the message. A recent robbery of a local Subway was by a young, just out of school guy, that told the clerk, "I don't want to rob you, but I've got bills to pay!" My Question is what are you going to do next week or next month when the bills roll around again. You can only continue to rob and rob untill you eventually get caught! When I first got sick, I wanted to runaway. I didn't want any more responsibility! I no longer enjoyed the things I was doing,work or life. I did'nt know that my body and brain had went as far as it could go without proper nutrition and vitamins. I had worked 7 days a week in the landscape business since leaving high school till 25 I also had a good sized business, while in high school. So I believed in hard work. I just did to much of it. Got burn't out and I have been recovering ever since that last drink I spoke of in my last blog entry. That was the time I just wanted to run away. I thought about getting on a train and traveling to wherever it took me. I was already passing out Gospel tracts or leaving them wherever had traveled. At this point I really had not gotten into some of the teachings of the bible. I didn't know alot about sin, faith, and that Jesus was coming back for believers. I just wanted to share the Gospel! The plain and simple truth! what can be found atmy site for the lord at www.freegift4life.com , Jesus, is the World's Greatest Free Gift! He came for all our sin, Past, Present, & Future. He knows it all! and he knows you! He loves us so! that is why he came! When I was A Kid growing up, They always asked me to recite a bible verse in sunday school. It was almost always John 3:16, my favorite verse! Without the bible and some of the things that I've learned since that day in the fall of 1988 when I wanted to run away. I don't know where I would be, also if it had not been for my parents. I've found that God is in control when things in my life are out of control. I am believing as the T.V. Preacher Joyce Meyers says to take back "What the Devil Has Stolen". I am standing and believing with her and others in agreeing prayer for God to do that in his timing. For Restoration of all that has been lost-Physical and financial! If you need the same I am believing with your life as well! Today if you feel like running away in your own life, seek help from a pastor, trusted friend, Christian counselling, and remember to do the best you can with nutrition and exercise. Vitamins and walking on a regular basiscan do a body good. Fish Oil is great for the heart and brain function. From my time of graduating high school in 1981 to about 1990 I didn't take vitamins or supplements. I certainly wasn't eating right either. Pray for me As I pray for all my blog traffic. It is a rainy start to a weekend here in Huntsville Alabama, At least there is no tornado's or the prospect of any. Check back to this blog when you can, tell your friends and family. I will be updating on a more regular basis. For more info on my ministry go to: www.ontractforjesusministries.org

God Bless you!
