xxx week end

Well I just heard the message on porn in America today. I have to admit that I wasn't aware that the problem is as big as it is. The thing that really shocked me is that because it is such a private thing and that is so accessible on the Internet . You really don't know how many are hooked on it. You don't know who they are and for lots of them they just pass it off as no big deal and they consider it very acceptable especially the teens. The speaker said more money is spent on the porn industry than on all of the professional sports combined.



I was shocked at how many of these young people are hungry and open to hear about Jesus Christ. They have this hole in their life that they are trying to fill with porn, we have the antidote, only Jesus can really fill that hole. We need to share and do it meekly with the love of God. I was so impressed years ago when I first heard the definition of meekness. The speaker said a good illustration of meekness is a horse that has been trained to turn when you lay the reins on the neck. The best (meek) horse is the one that turns quickly and agilely transferring the riders wishes to the horse. This a true measure of the horses meekness, jerking the reins or yelling at the horse only confuses the horse and frustrates the rider. Share the love of Jesus with meekness and draw people to him more effectively. They need to hear, we have the opportunity to speak, and God gets the glory. Don't be afraid to talk to people, we have answer that will bring them freedom.

July 4th

This year was my second year at the Matson family 4th of July celebration. The thought that we can no longer find the family values and patriotism in America is truly false. We had a great time, BBQ, swimming, basketball, volleyball, fire works, fellowship, friends, and family. Hope you had a great celebration to. The Matsons are doing a great job of holding up the values that made America the great place that it is, to live, and love God.
