sometime I wonder, why things happen how they happen. Or why things are as they are. But idk, the stuff I want to change won't and the stuff I want to stay, will change> That's called life, and I know that it is fair, no matter what anyone has ever said no matter who is was/is... life is fair!! Sometime we may think it is not.. But when we consider that God has EVERYTHING in control and knows what is best for our lives, how can it not be fair! God is trying to get us to repent, some of us are more stubborn than others so we need more 'prodding'. Yeh, I know, i'm insane and I make you sick, but think about it.. if i make you sick all you need to do is get rid of me and then you could get rid of the doctor too! ha . It's funny how people get their own ideas of God and salvation that are not fully supported by the Bible and then they stick to them and argue others out. Then they change their ideas and what they call truth to fit what they 'want' to do and what they 'want' to be God's will. Ok, the insanity stops here! :)

"I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing."
"You are my friends if you do what I command."
"Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?"
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do."
"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
"As simple as it is and they still stray and find something to suit their own selfish ways they call truth, they want truth that tickles their ears"

I got my first letter back from Joe (the prisoner) in Florida. Man, prison life must get pretty depressing after awhile. That is after 12 years in Joe's case!
-26- !!
There was a little discussion today between a few ppl and myself about a "prison ministry" and out of that one of them suggested, "We could go into the prison (Holmesburg) and give them a concert type of praise & worship time! What a great idea I thought and then I thought, Oh the work that is cut out! But I still think it is a great idea. Alot of people think of prisoners as "they got what they deserved" or "they belong there". But thats all wrong, in reality they got what we all deserve, and we actuall deserve more!! We are all sinners and criminals and deserve death except for the fact that we know the saving grace of Jesus' blood!! And most of them desperately need that!! Just think of spreading the saving message of Jesus Christ to prisoners who need some kind of hope! What better hope than Jesus, right?
