I AM BLESSED GREATLY!
I HAVE LOOKED BACK ON MY LIFE FROM 1982 WHEN I WAS ORDAINED TO THE MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST, TO TEACH, TO PREACH, TO SERVE IN HIS WORK IN THE CHURCH OF GOD, AND TO EVANGELIZE VIA THE WRITTEN WORD, FIRST IN ARTICLES AND THEN IN A FEW BOOKS. THE LAST 20 YEARS VIA MY WEBSITE TO ALL THE WORLD.
SOME THINGS AT THE TIME I AFTERWARDS THOUGHT I COULD DO BETTER, OR DIFFERENTLY, NOT REALLY KNOWING GOD HAD A MORE EXTENSIVE WORK IN HIS CHURCH ACROSS NORTH AMERICA FOR ME, IN THE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS I ENDED UP LIVING IN. EACH HAD ITS OWN UNIQUE CHALLENGES; SOME WERE TOUGH CHALLENGES; EACH BROUGHT A FULLER EXPERIENCE IN WORKING FOR THE CHURCH OF GOD. ALL HELPED, FOR ME TO SEE THE MANY ISSUES AND PROBLEMS THAT CAN ARISE IN THE CHURCH OF GOD. SOME PROBLEM I WORKED THROUGH TO BETTER RESULTS; SOME I HAD TO LEAVE IN THE HANDS OF THE LORD JESUS TO SETTLE HOW AND WHEN, AS HUMAN CARNALITY GETS IN THE WAY, MUCH MORE THAN WE OFTEN REALIZE. THE CHURCH CAN HAVE ITS INFIGHTING, ITS PERSONALITY PROBLEMS, IT CLICKS; IT IS NOT EASY TO SORT OUT SOME OF THOSE PROBLEM.
THE CHURCH OF GOD TODAY IS IN SOME AREAS NOT A LOT DIFFERENT TO SOME OF THE CHURCHES THE ORIGINAL APOSTLES OF THE FIRST CENTURY HAD TO DEAL WITH. READ THE LETTERS OR EPISTLES OF PAUL AND YOU WILL SEE THAT PRETTY DARN QUICKLY.
THE LAST 20 YEARS FROM 1998 WHEN I STARTED UP MY WEBSITE, HAS GONE VERY SOOTHLY, AS FAR AS THE WEBSITE….. HUNDREDS UPON HUNDRED OF STUDIES, AND DOZENS OF WHOLE BOOKS, ARE FOUND ON THAT WEBSITE; COVERING JUST ABOUT EVERY CHRISTIAN TOPIC YOU WANT TO NAME.
FROM 1982 AT AGE 40 TO TO THE DECEMBER OF 1995 I WAS A SOMEWHAT WANDERING MINISTER. ONTARIO; KELOWNA, B.C.; FLORIDA FOR 3 AND 1/2 YEARS, TO NEW BRUNWICK; TO PENTICTON - B.C. THEN FINALLY OVER TO CALGARY, ALBERTA. THE LAST MOVE PROBABLY MY BEDDING DOWN ROOTS MOVE. 20 YEARS IN CALGARY WITH A 20 YEAR WEBSITE. MORE PEOPLE FINDING IT EACH AND EVERY DAY; A USE OF ANYWHERE FROM 2 - 7 THOUSAND OR MORE EACH USING IT EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.
I FAITHFULLY WORK VERY VERY HARD TO UPLOAD WHAT YOU FIND ON MY WEBSITE - IT’S DONE ENTIRELY BY MYSELF; I’VE PUT IN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF HOURS, OVER THAT 20 YEAR HISTORY.
I HAVE WORKED HARD FOR THE LORD; WELL IT IS, CONSIDERED BY MYSEF AS MY FULL TIME JOB, WITH SECULAR WORK, AS SECONDARY - TO PAY MY LIVING EXPENSES. I RECEIVE NO MONEY FROM ANYONE - I WILL NOT RECEIVE IT - DO NOT SENT IT TO ME; GIVE IT TO A WORTHY CHARITY. I DO NOT NEED YOUR MONEY. AND THIS WAY I’M ABLE TO BE UPFRONT AND AT TIMES VERY BOLD IN MY WRITINGS; NO ONE OWNS ME; I CAN GIVE IT LIKE IT IS; AND AT TIMES I SURE DO THAT.
AT AGE 60 A SMALL VOICE SAID TO ME, “YOU HAVE SERVED ME WELL; YOU ALWAYS ENJOYED HORSE BACK RIDING - IT’S TIME TO DO THAT AGAIN. SO I DID; IT WAS NOT LONG BEFORE THE SKILL CAME BACK TO ME. I WROTE MY “DIARY OF WRANGLING ON THE RANGE” WHICH TOOK TWO YEARS TO WRITE.
AFTER THOSE TWO YEARS, A SMALL SILENT VOICE SAID, “YOU ARE READY TO FIND YOUR CHILDHOOD DREAM HORSE, AND I GOD, WILL HELP YOU FIND IT.” SO I WAS AWAY LOOKING FOR MY “TRIGGER” - FROM AGE 7 ALWAYS WANTED MY TRIGGER HORSE. A MARE ABOUT 15 HANDS, YOUNG, DARK GOLD COLOR……TRYING FINDING ONE, VERY VERY RARE TO FIND ALL OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS I HAD SET TO BE MY DREAM HORSE.
THERE WAS A HALF PAGE AD IN A HORSE MAGAZINE….. HORSES FOR SALE! DID NOT SEE MY DREAM HORSE. EMAILED THE LADY AND ASKED IF SHE HAD….. A HORSE WITH ALL THE ABOVE….. SHE ANSWERED AND SAID, “I HAVE THE VERY HORSE YOUR LOOKING FOR.” AND SHE DID - HENCE MY BOYHOOD DREAM HORSE - FINAL TOUCH HER REGISTERED NAME - MY HORSE GOLDIE!
NOW SHE IS COMING 18 YEARS OLD MARCH 27. SO HAVE HAD HER 13 YEARS! WHAT A FANTASTIC HORSE SHE TURNED OUT TO BE FOR ME.
SECOND GREAT PHYSICAL BLESSING.
MY OLD CAR - FORD TAURUS 2001, SERVED ME WELL, GOT IT WITH ONLY 75,000 KILOMETERS, LIKE NEW; KEPT IT UP BUT SLOWLY DYING WITH NOW 320 THOUSAND KILOM. ON IT.
YOUNG LADY [AUDREY] I’VE KNOWN THROUGH SUMMER HORSE CAMP FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS, SEEN HER GROW UP AND MARRY AND HAVE TWO CHILDREN; AS SHE ALSO SAYS, KINDA ADOPTED FAMILY, WE ARE; SHE HAD A TOUGH SITUATION GROWING UP. HER HUSBAND CHRIS SUPER GOOD FIXING CARS. THEY GOT A LITTLE WHILE BACK A 2005 DOGE CARAVAN; CHRIS DID LOTS OF WORK ON IT TO HAVE IT IN SUPER SHAPE. AUDREY TEXT ME A FEW DAYS AGO, “CHRIS HAS DECIDED TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE, WE WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO GIVE YOU THE DODGE CARAVAN!”
I’VE BEEN GETTING AROUND WITH MY OLD 1979 DODGE TRUCK [WHICH I GOT 8 YEARS AGO OR SO, AND HAVE SPENT A LOT TO KEEP IT RUNNING GOOD], WHICH I REALLY ONLY LIKE TO USE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS TO HAUL MY HORSE GOLDIE TO NEARBY PROVINCIAL PARK FOR HORSES AND DIRT BIKES. WITH IT BEING A V8 AND 360 MOTOR VERY HEAVY ON GAS CONSUMPTION.
SO FRIDAY MARCH 16 I WILL BE THE OWNER OF A VERY NICE RUNNING AND WELL KEPT 2005 DODGE CARAVAN.
YES GOT IT ALL REGISTERED IN MY NAME AND WOW….. WHAT A WONDERFUL GIFT TO ME, JUST SO VERY WELL KEPT AND MAINTAINED, AND SWEET SWEET ON GAS, A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE FROM MY 79 DOGE TRUCK.
I HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL IN THE WORK OF THE LORD FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS NOW [OH WOW HOW TIME GOES BY], AND IN MY LATTER YEARS OF LIFE I HAVE BEEN TRULY BLESSED IN MANY WAYS.
GOD BRINGING ME TO CALGARY, NOW 20 YEARS, HAS BEEN ALSO A MIGHTY BLESSING; CALGARY AS THEY SAY, HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME, BUT ALL PRAISE GOES TO THE LORD. CALGARY IS THE LONGEST TIME PERIOD OF LIVING ANYWHERE, FOR ME, IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
TRULY I THANK THE ALMIGHTY FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST HIS SON, FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL BLESSING I HAVE BEEN GRANTED IN MY LIFE; PHYSICAL HEALTH AND STRENGTH IN MIND AND BODY BEING ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT, FOR IN SO HAVING I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GIVE THE WORLD THE TRUTHS OF GOD, AND SERVE PEOPLE IN SO MANY SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL WAYS ALL MY ADULT LIFE.
