HOUR.
THEN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP CARSON CALLED AND SAID HE GOT SHOT IN THE FOOT WITH A
ARROW BY LUKE HE WILL PROABLY JUST LOOSE A TOE... LEEANN WAS A LITTLE UPSET.  
WELL ABOUT 4AM THIS MORNING TWO MEN BEAT ON OUR DOOR.. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT
THE FIRST DOOR YOU GO THRU FROM OUTSIDE IS REALLY A 1/4 INCH SHEET OF STEEL..NO
JOKE THE NEXT DOOR IS JUST A REGULAR DOOR THEN 76 STEPS I WAS TALKING
ABOUT..THEN YOU COME TO THE TOP OF 76 steps? And it's our Door another big steel
door with a wild lock on it then comes our regular front door..... Do you get
the picture.. Any way. Two men had open the last of the four doors. They WERE
RAISING CANE ABOUT THE FACT WE WERE USING THEIR WIFI CONNECTION WITHOUT PAYING
FOR IT..Well THEN WE WERE HUNGRY I GOT MY DRIVER TO CARRY US TO THE GROCERY
STORE....WHAT HAPPENS THEN...YOU KNOW THE NUMBER IN YOUR PASSPORT YOU HOPE YOU
NEVER HAVE TO CALL... YEA THE ONE IN CASE YOUR IN TROUBLE THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
YEP THE YOUNG CLERK AT THE GROCERY STORE SAID I PUT SOMETHING IN MY POCKET..
WHICH I DID IT WAS A EMPTY BAG I BROUGHT FROM THE APPARTMENT. WHY YOU SAY THEY
CHARGE YOU AT THE STORE FOR EVER BAG THAT YOU GET.. SO I WAS SAVING ME SOME
MONEY... YOU KNOW IT ALL ADDS UP AT THE END OF THE DAY.   WHAT NEXT I DON'T KNOW

LEARNING TOOL IT REALLY CAN BE... BOY IF THEY HAD THAT WHEN I WAS A KID I WOULD

THAT WE WENT TO THE MINI WALMART GROCERY STORE TODAY I THOUGHT I WOULD FIX
SOMETHING FOR SUPPER. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW I REALLY CAN'T REMEMBER NOT
BEING IN A GROCERY STORE REALLY SINCE I WAS TEN YEARS OLD I HAVE SEEN ALOT OF
STUFF. BUT WOW IS ALL YOU CAN SAY ABOUT SOME OF THIS.. IT WAS REALLY A CHALLENGE
TO FIGURE OUT A MEAL WITH NOT KNOWING WHAT STUFF IS... I AM SERIOUS PICTURES
DON'T WORK ON THE LABEL OVER THE POND.. ANY WAY WE HAVEN'T LOST ANY WEIGHT YET
OVER HERE.. NOT TOO METION THE 76 STEPS EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING...OR
HAVING TO TOTE WATER A MILE FROM THE STORE IF YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR DRIVER...    
SOME OF MY FAVORITE SAYINGS FOR THE WEEK FROM MY BRIDE:::"DON'T TALK TOO ME". 
"GOD IS GETTING TIRED OF YOU TALKING TO ME LIKE THAT". YEP SHE HAS BEEN A REAL
TROOPER STUCK IN AN APARTMENT THE SIZE OF OUR BEDROOM AT HOME ALL WEEK WITH NOT

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, James 1:27.
Observe, (1.) It is the glory of religion to be pure and undefiled; not mixed
with the inventions of men nor with the corruption of the world.        False
religions may be known by their impurity and uncharitableness; according to that
of John, He that doeth not righteousness is not of God neither he that loveth
not his brother, 1 John 3:10. But, on the other hand, a holy life and a
charitable heart show a true religion. Our religion is not adorned with
ceremonies, but purity and charity. And it is a good observation that a religion
which is pure should be kept undefiled. (2.) That religion is pure and undefiled
which is so before God and the Father. That is right which is so in God's eye,
and which chiefly aims at his approbation. True religion teaches us to do every
thing as in the presence of God; and to seek his favour, and study to please him
in all our actions. (3.) Compassion and charity to the poor and distressed from
a very great and necessary part of true religion: Visiting the fatherless and
widow in their affliction. Visiting is here put for all manner of relief which
we are capable of giving to others; and fatherless and widows are here
particularly mentioned, because they are generally most apt to be neglected or
oppressed: but by them we are to understand all who are proper objects of
charity, all who are in affliction. 
It is very remarkable that if the sum of religion be drawn up to two articles
this is one--to be charitable and relieve the afflicted. Observe, (4.) An
unspotted life must accompany an unfeigned love and charity: To keep himself
unspotted from the world. The world is apt to spot and blemish the soul, and it
is hard to live in it, and have to do with it, and not be defiled; but this must
be our constant endeavour. Herein consists pure and undefiled religion. The very
things of the world too much taint our spirits, if we are much conversant with
them; but the sins and lusts of the world deface and defile them very woefully
indeed. John comprises all that is in the world, which we are not to love, under
three heads: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life;
and to keep ourselves unspotted from all these is to keep ourselves unspotted
from the world. May God by his grace keep both our hearts and lives clean from
the love of the world, and from the temptations of wicked worldly men.

OR GODS MONEY ???IF YOU TREAT IT LIKE IT'S GODS MONEY LIKE WE SHOULD THEN WHO YOU SEND IT TOO, WHETHER IT BE WAL MART  OR  DELTA OR A ADOPTION FACILITATOR IT'S ON THEM YOU HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING....
"IF YOU CAN TRUST GOD WITH ETERNITY, THEN WHY CAN'T YOU TRUST HIM WITH YOUR MONEY".      THANKS FOR THE RABBIT TIME.......THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT FOR NOW.

how a deer horn changed my life

How a calcium deposit has changed my life
Well I have been thinking about this for a while so here goes.have you ever
stopped and think about the what if's in life my journey starts a long time ago
with a child growing up loving hunting.that's right justin WE HAD A DEAL IN
SCHOOL FOR HIS GRADUATION TRIP TO GO HUNTING OUT OF TOWN TO KILL A NICE DEER. SO
TIME CAME AND ME JUSTIN,STEVIE,CAL,AND PAT TOOK A TRIP TO OHIO LONG RIDE WITH 3
Boys. We were rewarding these boys with A trip for making Good choices In LIFE
Good School work and graduation. Little that I know GOD was doing his handy work
on me. We meet a man soft spoken,very mild manner,loved too sleep even in the
deer stand. AKA.RUSS SR. HE MADE A IMPRESSION ON ME THAT LASTED. We had a blast the boys got what the came after we came home. My
younger son Carson who is 15 now began too bug me a couple of years later about
going hunting like his big brother got to do so we used the idea for a Christmas
present. And we set off for tyrone Penn had a blast had fun with the walk family
it felt like we were among family. Well A YEAR OR SO LATER one morning I opened my email it
was a letter from mrs.Lori walk she was sending out a Email looking for support
for a hosting camp for some children who needed a family. I can remember
sitting on that wooden stool at work thinking GOD what is this a test? I
thought to myself ok LORD I am in. immediately i sent back a email saying to
Lori I will send a donation to help and asked her what else she needed. She said
she also needed some volunteers to work in the camp. Here was another test.
Once again LORD I am in. Short story Hannah my oldest daughter was in school for
teaching and she got the call to go and help in the camp and the rest is history
for her part. Back up on the blog and read her story she says it better than I
ever could.....I had several things that really tested my faith in GOD in the
time leading up to camp. Camp had to be some of the best time I have ever had in
my life. You never know how much fun picking up trash,pouring
koolaid,making scrapbooks,playing catch,roasting marshmellows emptying trash
cans could ever be before you stop to think that are your truly are doing it
to be making a change in a hopeless lives. But as my
friend "father ---------- ". Said while we were at camp if we did nothing else
we have.

#1.We have changed their lives forever.
#2.we gave the hope.
#3.we gave them reason.
#4.we showed them someone loves them.
#5.we gave them the gospel. Jesus will save them!!!!!!!!

That has to be one of the most powerful things that I have ever heard.



We as Americans especially our children are so far as I am concerned have got to
be the most ungrateful bunch of people anywhere. We did nothing more than have a
little "well planed" mrs.lori week long camp. Nothing more nothing less. And
look at 1 thru 5 again..............
If we had done this for our kids they would complain about the flavor of koolaid
or something.

As camp was going on the entire walk family and there was a lot of the kept
asking me who I was gonna take home. My answer keep on being the same I am here
to work not pick out a child. I tried from the first second I laid MY EYES ON THE KIDS NOT TO THINK
ABOUT THAT PUT GOD IN CONTROL AND TO DO WHAT I AS SENT FOR. I KEEP ON TELLING FOLKS THAT GOD HADNT PUT A CHILD IN MY HEART AT THAT TIME.THERE WERE A FEW PEOPLE WHO GOT TO WITNESS GOD SHOWING UP AND SHOWING OUT IN THE DINE ING TABLE THAT NIGHT. HOW HE PUT EVERYTHING IN PLACE WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE AT THE RIGHT TIME EVEN STARTED YEARS AGO FOR A GREAT SON. MY WIFE AT HOME 700 MILES AWAY THAT SENT ME A TEXT MESSAGE ASKING HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO MAKEA DIFFERANCE IN A CHILDS LIFE. ITS FUNNY HERE I SIT IN A TRAIN CAR 9 HOURSINTO A 12 HOUR RIDE AND PEOPLE SAY GOD DOESNT HAVE A SENCE OF HUMOR. I WILL NEVER FORGET MRS.LORIS ASKING VIKA IF SHE WOULD LIKE TO COME HOME WITH ME AND HANNAH. IF I LIVE ANOTHER 100 YEARS I DONT BELIEVE IT COULD EVER BE DUPLICATED. BEFORE I HAD KNEW ITI WAS GOING HOME WITH VIKA AND HER LITTLE BROTHER SLAVIK. I THEN HAD TOO TELL LEEANN WHAT I HAVE DONE. WHEN I CALLED THE NEXT MORNING TO TELLHER SHE WAS OVER JOYED..THANK GOD BECAUSE THERE WASNT A DROP OF FIGHT LEFT IN ME AT THIS POINT..... OK CHAPTER TO TO COME IN A DAY OR TWO LOVE MIKE AND LEEANN
