Something definitely worth reading, pondering and acting upon. I trust as you read this, you maybe draw in by the love of Someone that can change each of us.
Recall of Souls
The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named 'Adam and Eve', resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.
This defect has been technically termed '"Subsequential Internal Non-Morality,"' or more commonly known as S. I. N., as it is primarily expressed. Some other symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion
The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this SIN defect. The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.
The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R-S. Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component. No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control
Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Believers' Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.
WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correctionvoids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention.
GOD
PS: Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by 'kneemail'

Taking it Serious...
In the past few weeks, I have spent time personally reflecting on what is important in life. I have found that in the absence of my son, I remember the days of playing catch, going to his baseball and basketball games. Taking our girls to their volleyball practices and games as well. Those times have now past and yet, I took them serious. I know that they were important to each one of them.
I was at a local high school boy’s basketball game officiating and observed at halftime, several moms and dads reading, texting on their cell phone and their PDA's. There seemed to be a real disconnect from the game and their child. I asked myself if they were taking it serious. The time they were spending and investing in their child. Was their attendance at the game, play or recital only a step or exercise that indicated they were a good parent? Or by chance, were they taking it serious?
Now, I look back and am thankful for the days that I took serious with our children. The times we spent together at activities, meals around the table, wrapping presents and a myriad of other activities. It wasn’t until late in their lives that I started taking it serious. When I did though, I took it serious.
What is it that I took serious? Well, the fact that I made them a priority of my life. In doing this, I was able to show them a picture of the One that takes them very serious. The One that cares for them regardless of how good or bad they are. The One that gave everything He had up for them. This One was all about taking it serious!
The One who took it serious is the Son of God. Jesus Christ my Lord! He took it serious. Jesus was willing to leave heaven with God and come to earth as a baby. Born not only to die, but in His death, pay the debt you and I couldn’t. The debt He paid was for all of yours and my sins/wrong doings. He not only died, Jesus would come back to life in order that you and I could have a relationship with Him. Not a religion! Not a bunch of rules! A true relationship that He desires to have with each of us.
The world is all about itself and getting all that it can get for itself. Jesus, He was and is all about you and me. He is all about taking it serious. He did take it serious. We only have just a short time here on earth. The eternity beyond life here is what matters.
My question for you, are you taking it serious? Are you making every moment of your life count so that you can make a difference in others? We get so busy doing things that don’t amount to a lot. We are so distracted by the things of life that we forget what is important. Invest your life in others. Make a difference in them. But, make Jesus the main thing in your life. Apart for Jesus, we are only taking up space, consuming groceries and not investing our lives wisely. Begin today by taking it serious! Take it serious about what you do with Jesus.

UPDATE FROM TYLER...
He called last night from Dallas, Texas and they were laying over for the night. The airport in Atlanta was snowed in and their squad was held up there. They had the opportunity to stay at a Days Inn for the night where he was introduced to cockroaches and not the cleanest rooms in the world. Prep for times to come for him? They should have arrived Thursday afternoon via St Louis and then off to Ft Benning. He is in good spirits. We had a great conversation on the phone with him and that was very enjoyable. Thanks for praying for him and remember the family he has left here in Oregon.
Ministry is going great as I have been working with an individual that has been wrestling with the value of their own life as well as whether God really loves and is real. I am seeing progress as we meet and I share the love of God with this person. The other night at a low point in this individuals life, I received a phone call where we were able to talk and see how God works and also through prayer, saw an immediate change over the phone. I challenged this individual to be also praying for me as I was missing Tyler. This was a huge thing to me and was taken seriously by this person as a personal challenge and I believe an opportunity to serve. Please pray for both of us as we work through this and other areas in this very valuable life.
Thanks for praying for the lost and needy in America. A great need for the Holy Spirit to sweep in our nation for revival and renewal. As we minister here, we need you and your prayers. Thanks for joining with us.

A NEW CHAPTER IN LIFE...
As we start 2008, ministry has taken on some new looks as well as our family life. We are truly blessed to serve a Lord that loves unconditionally and cares for the hurts and needs of others. I have been ministering to an individual who has not been feeling and experiencing the love real personally. As I minister, my prayer has been that the Love of the Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit would be real and revealed to this person. God has answered that prayer and I am excited and thankful for that.
A new chapter in life begins in less than one hour of this posting. Our son, Tyler, will be setting out for a six year commitment with the Oregon Army National Guard. Although we are anxious about this, we are extremely proud of him and are backing him completely. We are also praying for he and his wife and are enlisting others that would pray for them regularly. We know that the next 14 weeks will be difficult for him physically but we also know that he will need his spiritual armour intact and on during his time away.
Ft Benning, Georgia will be his new home till the end of April 08. Once he graduates Boot Camp and Advanced Infantry Training from there, he will be stationed here in Gresham at the local armory. Then it will consist of weekend drills monthly and two weeks active duty once a year.
The long range plans would look like Irag in 09 but we will wait to see on that as time moves on.
Would you pray for Tyler and Bri during this time away? Would you pray for our entire family as we go through this transition in the new year? We have been praying for many of our friends who are serving and stationed all around the globe. We value and appreciate their service providing for our protection and ensuring our freedoms. Let us not forget those who give of their time, life and freedoms so that we can enjoy ours.
Thanks for reading this and I will keep you informed of his progress and other things happening in our lives in the very near future. God bless you and keep each of you.
