Time marches on

Today is February 1, 2011. Its been approximately three years since my last post. So what has happened in my life since the last post?

We have moved to Atlanta, Ga. Darline is a nurse at North Fulton, Hospital in Roswell, Ga. I am at Mattress Giant in Woodstock. I worked for a large Sunroom firm that closed down 14 branches in August, 2011; Atlanta was one of them. I like the Mattress business but it is slow like many other things in this economy. Darline is in college at Chattahoocie Tech completing her RN.

Laura and Robert have given us our second grandson, Joseph who is about three months old.

My brother Shelton passed away in Jan, 2011. I officated his funeral. He had many Shrine friends and professed to be a Christian.

The Holy Spirit is stirring my heart to utilize the spiritual gifts the Lord has given me in sharing the good news of the gospel and teaching others Biblical truth.

I have a grave concern for the what I perceive to be the continued secularization of American society. The acceptance of situational ethics, watered down family values and pluralistic spiritual values are very prevalent in our society. Psalm 137 states that 'unless the Lord builds the house, they that build labor in vain.' Unless our country is built on Biblical truth and Christian values, very rough times are ahead. History teaches us that.

Those of us who know the Lord must pray for our land, share and teach Biblical truth, and seek to lead others to Christ. We cannot, we must not, throw in the towel and give up.
