BRING IN THE HARVEST

Well. Its official fall is here..All though you cant tell it yet here by our California Weather.This has been a strange Summer.Today was a warm day and hasnt cooled down much.Yesterday I had to take My Sister to the doctor.She was so confused.I cant stand to see her like that.The doctor checked her and increased her lactulose.I didnt realize how much the liver affected the whole body.I sat with her til 7 p.m And she was already starting to do alot better.She was tired and wanted to rest in her recliner with her dog Spike laying next to her.So I hugged her and headed home to get ready for Church.I got there almost an hour late.But I thankful I went.My Pastor, Pastor Elias preached on " Dont Panic" God has the last word over any doctors,He looked over at me and said Dont panic Bro John,God has the last word.I felt such a relief.

"GOD BLESS THE CHILD"

Image
I want to share with you what I seen with my own eyes. I am 42 years old.Having lived the first 21 years knowing there was a God.But not Knowing Him personally.The last 21 years I've been getting to know God.And recently thru my many trials. Health and Most of My Family passsing on.I've learned to trust him with my whole heart.My Pastor has been leading the Church on a seven day fast.Each group fasts on a certain day of the week.And a group of 47 plus people are up at 5a.m. for one hour, seven days a week. And the Church is reading the word faithfully. Pastor is focussed on Unity,and on love and extending a helping hand to person in need.And people let me tell you,We need God now more than ever.(No work,Foreclosures,Divorces,Dependancy on prescription pills to numb the pain.Its so bad that their are elderly selling their medication to supliment their income.) But getting back to my title of this entry.God has honored our fasting,Praying,reading the word.And zero tolerance for g...
