Greetings all,
Wow! I did not realize how much time has past since I last wrote in here. Been kinda busy though, getting ready to move and all. We pick up the moving truck on the 26th of this month, load the truck up on the same day, then pull out early the next morning. The trip should take about 2 and half days if all goes well.
I'm glad we are moving this time of the year, that way we can get used to the Savannah heat slowly.
I have one more week at my job, kinda sad about it. I've made some really great friends there. I've never been very comfortable working for big companies, so impersonal. This was the biggest company I have ever worked for (HP). I have to say, for a big company they try to keep it more personal, not so much just a number. My experience with them has been very positive.Hope your life is going well. Until next time may the living God keep you and yours safe and well.
Peace out,Tim

Personal update
Greetings!!
I just wanted to take a moment and share a couple of things that are going on in my life right now. I guess the biggest news is we are moving back to Savannah Georgia at the end of March here. We currently live in Colorado Springs. Don't get me wrong, this is a really nice town, but for our taste its a little to big. We have been here 17 months, and we've just never really settled in. I have prayed about this allot, and I believe that we were brought here for several reasons. The biggest one… being spiritual growth. God has really shown me the direction He has for me in my life. It's now up to me to be obedient and follow through with His will. The direction I need to take has to do with teaching the Word, not sure yet if that is in a pastoral manner or what. Once settled again, I'm going to be pursuing an education in Christian counseling. That is one area I know the Lord wants me in. As always when serving the living God, you must be flexible... so I remain flexible through all of this. In preparation for the move, we are having a garage sale this weekend. My wife already has things sorted out for the garage sale. We have allot more stuff than I realized. Amazing what you can gather in 17 short months. Hope to go see the movie "Amazing Grace" this weekend... looks really inspiring. We saw "The Astronaut Farmer" last weekend. That was better than I thought it was going to be. Good family movie, I'd recommend it to anyone.
Ok, that’s enough for today. Hope your all doing well. I pray that God will keep you all safe and well.
Peace out!!Tim

Pride
Pride
Spiritual cancer
Spiritual cancer
It is Pride which has been the chief cause of misery in every nation and every family since the world began… Pride always means enmity… it is enmity. And not only enmity between man and man, but enmity to God.
In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurable superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that, and therefore know yourself as nothing in comparison… you do not know God at all. As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and of course, as long as your looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.
That raises a terrible question. How is it that people who are quite obviously eaten up with pride can say they believe in God and appear to themselves very religious? I am afraid it means they are worshipping an imaginary God.

70 year old poem
In the book Gaily The Troubadour, published in 1936, Arthur Guiterman wrote the following poem. Reading his observations, you wouldn't guess it was written nearly fifty years ago.
First dentistry was painless;
Then bicycles were chainless
And carriages were horseless
And may laws, enforceless.
Next, cookery was fireless,
Telegraphy was wireless,
Cigars were nicotineless
And coffee, caffeinless.
Soon oranges were seedless,
The putting green was weedless,
The college boy hatless,
The proper diet, fatless.
Now motor roads are dustless,
The latest steel is rustless,
Our tennis courts are sodless,
Our new religions, godless.
This really shows how mans heart will never change without Jesus Christ living in him.
Peace to you my brothers and sisters,
Tim

Now motor roads are dustless,
The latest steel is rustless,

Our new religions, godless.
