   Praise the LORD!!!

    Good morning. If you're reading this GOD has obviously blessed you with another day to glorify the most precious name of JESUS! Please use it to the max!!!

   Yesterday, I posted a little saying that has been around for awhile. Many seemed to enjoy it, so I thought I'd post something else that has been around for awhile. Several months after being released from the halfway house, I was blessed to win a t-shirt from a local (Springfield, MO.) Christian radio station. On it was one of the best sayings, a real eye catcher, I've run into, so I thought I'd put this online for many others enjoyment!

   "My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I won't look back, slow down, back away, or be still. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, platitudes or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. The die has been cast, I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of HIS. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up and paid up for the cause of CHRIST. I am a disciple of JESUS. I must go till HE comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till HE stops me. And when HE comes for HIS own, HE will have no problem recognizing me because I LIVE THE LIFE! (THE WIND fm 88.3)

   I still have this shirt and wear it proudly, for it exemplifies my life for JESUS. It reveals my reason for continuing to work the LORD's ministry for me, though no one is at my side! I reveals that which all Christians should strive to fulfill each day that they're blessed with. After all, it's all about JESUS and us living to bring glory to HIS most precious name!!! How will you live the life today???

 ( I must add, that I still listen to this station, though online (KWND 88.3 FM), for they're a part of the soil that help this vine sprout and begin to grow in the LORD:))) )
