James 4:2,3 "[SUP] [/SUP]Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. [SUP] [/SUP]Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts."

I won't go into a bunch of minutia and detail, but my health has been poor for the last 3 years. I have an auto repair shop and I had to close the doors. I am too young to retire, but the docs(more than one) have all been pretty discouraging when I talk about going back to work.
So I have asked the Lord to take away some of my distress and allow me to get more mobile and useful.

Yesterday was the best day I have had in several years, and today is pretty good so far. I feel so sad for people that don't serve God, or understand how to serve Him. He will always answer prayers, but He isn't going to give you something that doesn't do you good. Don't ask to consume it on your lust.

I always ask Him to do what He will for me and give me what He will if I can use it in His favor somehow. He is such a wonderful God. I am amazed, astounded, and humbled to see how much He loves me after the many, many times I have acted a fool. If He wills, I will never again stray from the straight and narrow.

Matthew 11:30 "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Indeed!

That's a nice testimony Phil. It shows the life of the tipicle saint. Kind of cycles up and down from a low frequency to a high one. It's that second half of the cycle that always seems to be the low freq and distorted and extra long for a lot of people.
Some call it depression zone and sometimes it's seeing what the flesh is and realizing God gives us so much-My grace is sufficient-I like the part in the 23 Psalm, My cup runneth over. What a gracious Loving God we have indeed. So when we ask God, what's up? Why am I in this position in time, we know He has us just where he wants us for His good will and purpose. Isn't that awesome? And remember Phil, It's not just You and God, it's you and His whole family in Spirit. You don't realize sometimes how many brothers and sisters you have, maybe alot more than you can imagine. When we pray, we don't always know what to ask for, so the HS perfectly asks for us in communication with the Father through Christ. Some times when we ask for a cinaminaminamin roll He sends us someone to talk to because we were not ment to think alone. Let us not forget the assembling of ourselves together. Must be more than one purpose for that scripture. Anyway, hope this letter of love hope and joy- fills you with more joy to finish your day.

Are y'all passum around or just making me want one. Man soak some pecans in butter and put on top. Make your tongue slap your brains out. Then, a 5 mile jog of course. Did that once and met some nice neighbors and some mean dogs. But, hey mean dogs burn more calories.

Lord Jesus,
please continue to look upon us and bless us so that we can be a blessing to others. Please help us to be what you are making us into and help us to share with others what you have already done.

In Jesus name I pray, Amen...
