I Gotta Make It!

I have seen this several times and it reminds me of a message that I heard Rev. James Kilgore preach about not removing landmarks that are detrimental to our salvation. Sometime we not only find ourselves jumping the rail, we also are guilty of actually moving the fence! Once a landmark is removed or changed, it becomes very hard to retract the action and put it back into place. I have come to this conclusion; if I perchance, am acting on a principal or a land mark that may not be necessary for my soul to enter the pearly gates, so be it! I would definitely rather be safe and make the rapture than to remove a landmark or a principal from my life and then learn at the judgement seat that I should have left it in place! It is my greatest desire to make it to heaven and to see my family and my church family walk through those gates made of pearl and walk on streets of gold with me!

New Kids on the Block

New children in the Kingdom, Jeff and Vicky recieved the Holy Ghost in April of 2013. Coming from a world plagued with drugs, they both received instant deliverance. They have lived for God faithfully for the past 11 months. They have been faithful in church attendance, in giving of both finiance and personal time, and faithful to attend prayer meetings. We are so proud of them. However, due to the lifestyle that they lived before finding their personal salvation, Sis Vicky had some criminal charges hanging over her head, charges that with a conviction would have led to imprisonment. After much prayer and fasting by both Jeff and Vicky and by our church family, yesterday all charges were dismissed against Vicky! She is realizing what living for God with a victorious attude can and will do for the child of God! Glenn and I want to join them in celebration of every miracle that has been wrought in their lives since last April. ‪#‎godisawesome‬

Saturday Morning

Saturday morning, 5^th of December, and I was making Oreo Cookie Balls for a Christmas party that night! I began to giggle as my mind traveled back in time about 46 years. This is always an interesting past time, remembering an age of innocence where kids could roam and play without worries!

In this current memory, my brothers and I were down on our knees beside Hwy 1416, encouraging our very own doodle bugs to "move it buster!" The bugs were each rolling their own little ball of 'cow paddy,' and we kids wanted our beetle to win. The cookie balls looked exactly like the doodle bug balls!

Glenn walked into the kitchen and asked, "What's so funny!"

Laughingly I told him where my mind had gone, and we begin to reminisce about those days of innocence!

Behind our home place there was a 'patch' of woods where we were allowed to play for hours. Under the cool shade of tall pines, huge oaks, and around a few squatty bushes we had created a fairy tale play ground! We had houses with wall divisions made of pine-straw, furniture created from fallen branches, and enough kids to people each house with moms, dads, and kids.

We built caves, cooked mud pies, squabbled, had prayer meetings, and played church. At any given moment we could shout, talk in tongues, and sing as good as any saint in our home church. We could do the two-step like Adeline Dougharty, Glenn's Grandmother, or we could mock to a tee, Sis. Bertie Rashall's obeisance dance (I do not know any other way to describe it!). We would kneel down and pray like Sis. Florene Brown (sort of machine-gun style), or stand to testify and break out in song like Sis. Linnie Stivender as she waved her hanky in her left hand!

This was not mockery in a hurtful sense, rather, as children we had learned to worship God from the examples set before us; sometime our play was so real that we would be crying for real. Looking back now, I realize that there were times that we felt God's presence. I can remember Delbert, my brother preaching under the anointing, and at that time we did not even know what anointing meant.

Isn't it amazing how we forget the simple things of life when we get so caught up in everyday living. I am glad for the cookie ball reminders!

Precious Memories, how they linger!

Revival 2009.....Sunday Morning

It is Sunday Morning again, and I am thrilled to tell you that we have had a wonderful revival. We still have 2pm. service today, and I am anxious to see what will happen. So far, our church folks have all had a renewing in the Holy Ghost, and we have had two backsliders pray back through to victory! It is so wondeful to watch the Lord at work. He is the greatest!
This is a pic of Bro. and Sis. Story, out to eat like all Pentecostals! We have had a wonderful time making friends with these folks.

Bro. and Sis. Davis took us all out to eat. They are retired from active pastoring and are a part of our church. Sis. Davis has great determination to come to church, and comes in a wheel chair. She has a wonderful spirit and great spunk!!

Revival 2009....

8:40am - Well, this is Sunday morning, and we have been having the most awesome Spirit of God in our services! We are excited about what God is doing in our midst! He is so worthy!

1:59pm - Sunday Morning Service - What can I say, except that God always knows exctly what we need! We have had several visitors in every service until this morning. There was only one person there today that was not a member of our church. It was the will of God without a doubt. Our evanglist preached "Life!" It is so amazing how God works. As Bro. Story began to open his life to us and draw word pictures of heartbreak and pain, it was as though he was reading from a book; a book that included more than one person's story. As he reached the part of his story where God told him to love the people involved, God's presence came down into the service and heaven kissed the earth. Bro. Story ministered, and God began a work that makes me want to peer ahead and see the finished product! What a mighty God we Serve!

Revival 2009

Enter and worship with us at Bon Wier, UPC. We have been having some great church the past couple of weeks! There has been a special move of God in every service. It is my feeling that we are going to have a year of revival in 2009. Our Church is participating in the month of fasting and prayer, and it as made an impact on our services. We are having a three night revival with Bro. and Sis. David Story starting this Friday night. I am looking forward to the things that God is going to do in these services!!

Here are a few pictures of our church!
This is inside the Sanctuary (Small Wedding of older couple).
