September

Hey you all,
Wow has it that long since my last post???
Is anyone reading this ? Well in case you are, I better get on the ball. Summer is almost over and I for one am ready for fall. I went to Spirit West Coast in Aug. with Jim & Tim. It was a great time! If you have never been to a Christian music festival,check it out.. You will be refreshed and encouraged, and if you're like me you will probably be challenged not to flesh out at your brothers and sisters...Sometimes we(and I say We)can forget to treat or consider others more highly than ourselves.( Phil 2:3) One of my favorite sayings outside the Bible, "Christianity would be Great if wasn't for the people". LOL??
Am I saying that I don't like people? Heck no, I Love the body of Christ! Especially when we behave like we're suppose to! Just like when the Barn Bros get together! Did you see that coming? Well I can't help braggin' bout my Bros in Christ!! You guys are Awesome! I loved this Saturdays meeting! Tim and Jim did a Great job leading us in Worship, and you guys had some great insight to share. Thank you All for your participation..
The Best part of the B.B.s meeting is that we come from different churches and backgrounds,with various experiences and ideas, and can still fellowship in the name of Christ. You guys make me want to be a better Christian man!!

Remember to keep Linda Grant in your Prayers.. She's experiencing attacks from the enemy of our souls in Israel where there is Real warfare going on!!

Also please keep Greg& Lori Lane in prayer as she battles cancer.

We are looking at having another family barbecue in October, so keep your schedules free, and I'll let you know when It's confirmed.

God Bless you,

Rick

Just when you think He's not listening

Greetings Brothers,
I had a Great day @ church Sunday. I say great because I have been struggling with certain things in life, like all the crazy things going on all around me and feeling some what powerless to do anything about it .

I'm not going to go into great detail about it, only that I was angry thinking that I was alone with these burdens.
Then God spoke so clearly to me, that I couldn't deny it was Him, and  He gave me some practical solutions to combat my battles and have victory in Christ !
I came away with a sense of knowing that my God is intimately interested in my cares and growth!

On Monday's devotional, He further showed me that He is aware of all that is going on and that He has never left the Throne!  Read Psalm 73 and tell Him that He doesn't understand......If you dare.
I later phoned a friend,who I hadn't spoke to in long while.  It turned out that brother was in 'great trial'.

We prayed and lifted his burden before the Lord.  His trial may not be over,but I was privileged to encourage him, and share in his grief. Would you join me in prayer for him?  God know who he is, you just pray...
Thanks,
Blessings
Maybe he'll come out the Barn??

First finger Print

Well here it is Jim! Wadda ya think???
We are keeping you two in constant Prayer!
Jesus said "Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice, and opens the door,I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.

Our desire is to have  'Koinonia'......(That close fellowship shared between Jesus and His disciples) among brothers in Christ!

The 'Barn' doors are open to all who are willing to enter in, and taste and see that that the Lord is Good..
