Decades ago some families joined together to start what is called a
"Full Gospel" church. The term basically means the Bible isn't a set
of anecdotes and made up stories to learn from, they believe it happened...
They also believe God is alive and well and able to help you today....
I do too...
Well, after the decades, people went their own ways and my folks were
the last two standing....My mom used to preach, but she's 75 years old
and I've had to beat her with a lead pipe to get to start stepping down....
I've had the pleasure of watching all these fine Christians work together..
I have to tell you, one of God's biggest problems, is his people... |

I better not be on the way to the pearly gates and have some doctor pull me back.
One way to be sure that doesn't happen is to sign over your organs.
There was a case on TV where they harvested some guy while he was still alive.
Don't trust the people who want to take your body parts like you are a friggin' car. |

Don't laugh. Someone in this area did just that. Met his Maker, a young man too.  |

The Promises
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them

Ditto.
I think when it comes down to it. That's what it's all about. |

Hey, I watched that, but where was my Beck's??  Trapped in a mall with the living dead all around. Hey, been there, done that...
And Doc, you owe me a Beck's...... |
