Sometimes God's love overwhelms me. When I think of the Journey that my life has been these 36 (37 year tomorrow)years, I am amazed at His Truth, His Grace, His Humor, His kindness and mostly His love and guidance. From a boy that loves sports, cars and 4x4's to a young man, that loved all things of the world, theatre and the Oakland Raiders; to a man who is a Minister of the Word, a Father, a husband and a friend. This journey was all orchestrated by the One who is above all.
It moves me to think that God loves me. If you have known me you know I am screwed up, you have screwed up and you know I mes up again. God is better than than we will ever know, and he is our King, our Father, our Redeemer, Our King of Peace and our Hope. It does not matter what you have chosen for your life, or the mistakes you have made. What truly matters is that the LORD God loves you and desires to spend more time with you. I think that si what is so amazing about God. He desires to spend time with a screw-up like me and loves me espcially when I mess up and come to him as his arms are wide open waiting to hug me.

Have you ever wondered why you were born in the place where you were born? Have you ever thought about what it would have been like to live in a different time in history? These are questions that we will never be able to fully answer on this side of eternity. However, you can rest assured that, according to Scripture, God, before He created you, ordained in His perfect will that you would be born exactly where and when He chose.
The divine appointment which we call our birthday was chosen for our own good, and for God’s own glory. In the heart of every person, at every place and time, since the beginning of creation, God has placed the idea of eternity, and revelation of Himself. “He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11
For this reason, every single one of us is without excuse if we have failed to acknowledge and worship God. (Romans 1:19-20) We have all failed to do this at one time or another, but the realization that we are part of God’s eternal, unseen plan should cause us to rejoice, and should motivate us to serve Him with joy. “I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.” Ecclesiastes 3:12
