Night sweats, cold cases, inspiration and memories...

I hope every one has a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day...It's a time to reflect on those gone before us to pave the way for our freedoms...Thank you to all the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom...It's also a time to remember those that have gone on before us, that have touched our lives...Those that have paved the straight and narrow way, those that have given their time and talent for greater rewards than this world will ever offer...

I am having your mid life night sweats...oh joy...I am going to try having the fan blow on me instead of just for noise...we shall see if this helps any...

I have inspiration...please pray for the multiple tasks I have going for the Assembly...I just want to be a blessing, nothing more, nothing less...I also want to see souls won to the Lord...Time is short and we don't have much time left to work...

I watched Dateline tonight and it was regarding cold cases over 25-28 years ago...Both were horrific crimes...The 2nd case was beyond words to describe the cruelty and those that have kept it a secret all these years...Justice was served as far as possible in the 2nd case, the 1st case goes to trial in July of this year...Can you even begin to imagine knowing who killed someone you loved and they got away with it for over 25 years??? I can't...One thing that stuck out about both cases is the hurt both families suffer even today from things that happened so many years ago...You learn to cope, but it never stops the pain...I can attest to that...It's been many years since my life drastically changed and to most people it's old news, but for me it's a part of my life daily...Yes, you learn to cope, but the pain never goes away...I don't know how any one survives in this life without the strength and comfort of God...How can you make it without Jesus? How can you deal with the pain of life without the comfort of the Holy Ghost? I don't know the answers to these questions and I am glad I don't...Jesus has been my sustaining savior in times of trouble...The power of the Holy Ghost to be near when all else has failed is a comfort words can't explain...So many people say, I will pray...So many people say they know Jesus, but their lives don't back up their words...Prayer without a personal relationship with Jesus is talking into thin air...People will say that is a judgemental statement but, I have his word to back it up...I want every one to know HIM but I know most don't want to...They would rather do things their own way...And God is the one that gave us free will...We can serve him or reject him, it's our own decision...I am thankful to know him and the power of his resurrection in my life...I could not have made it to this day without him...Without hope that he is in control and will perfect all things that concerns me...
