Footprints

FOOTPRINTS

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed

he was walking along the beach with the

Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from

his life, for each scene, he noticed two sets

of footprints in the sand; one belonging to

him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed be-

fore him, he looked back at the footprints

in the sand. He noticed that many times

along the path of his life there was only

one set of footprints. He also noticed that

it happened at the very lowest and saddest

times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned

the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that

once I decided to follow you, you'd walk

with me all the way. But I have noticed that

during the most troublesome times in my

life, there is only one set of footprints. I

don't understand why when I needed you

most you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My son, My precious

child, I love you and I would never leave

you. During your times of trial and suffer-

ing,when you see only one set of footprints,

It was then that I carried you."

Have Faith, Hope, Peace, Joy

HAVE FAITH...

God is always

with you, though

it may not seem so,

HAVE HOPE,

God's love surrounds

you much more than

you know,

HAVE PEACE,

God has a special

plan just for you,

HAVE JOY,

For always,

come what may,

God will help to

see you through.

Misc. Stuff

I have this diary that I've written some stuff in. Here's some of what I've written:

List of Inspired Revelations

1. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

2. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

3. But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

4. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

38 years ago today, Israel became a nation on May 14, 1948. According to the Bible, we are living in the last days or the last generation. In the Bible a generation is considered 40 yrs. The Lord said that this generation shall not pass away til all these things be fulfilled. And as far as Israel becoming a nation and these being the last days, the Bible says that when the fig tree (Israel) begins to blossom or bring forth fruit (referring to Israel becoming a nation), you know that summer is nigh. (The end is near). Now, today is Aug. 9, 2004. The Lord has not returned yet. But Jesus said it would be soon. When that will be, no one knows. Only God knows. It's called the "rapture". I pray I'll be ready. Surely, come soon, Lord Jesus! People will vanish from the earth. To be with the Lord in heaven.

Also, I was quickened by a scripture from Deut. 28. It talks about blessings & curses. Blessings if you obey and hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord, to observe and to do all his commandments.

But curses, if you do not hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which he commands you this day.

Turned 43 today. Today is my birthday! It turned out to be a nice day. I drove to West Liberty, Oh to see the Ohio Caverns. Cost about $6.50 to get in. The caverns are really interesting to see.

Summer
