Lesson's Learned

First and foremost I'd like to thank all of you for your thoughtful posted comments they are timely and well received. I also want publicly apologize to a reply to a comment that was made as well. You see I didn't agree with the position taken and instead of receiving with the love that it was intended, I took it as on opportunity to "enlighten for fellow Christian" and that was the wrong thing to do. You see God has a way of dealing with us, as we need to be reminded of our own fallible tendencies. None of us is so smart that we are right about everything, don't get me wrong it is absolutly necessary to correct the essentials of Christianity but we should never divide over the nonessentials. Some topics require both sides to keep level heads and keep emotion far removed only dealing in facts. With all this said I do believe Romans 14 to be true.

Updates on Regina are that: she is comfortable, she is now in a hospital type bed in our room, she has lost most of her fine motor skills(so is unable to right). Now don't think this means she can't communicate her face and eyes speak volumes. Here face said it all as the NEHBC praise team come to the house and sang praise and worship songs, we prayed and just had church right there in our bed room. It is something to have a keyboard, two guitars and two extra vocalists in the room all at the same time singing praises to the Lord, with some old hymns and some even more contemporary stuff. We had a blast something the attending nurse will not soon forget. I her Rose, on the phone calling all of her friends telling them how she got to work and come to church and never left the same building. She went on and on about how special Regina must be to all the people that know her, she said, "I'll just have to wait 'til the other side of life to get to know her like these folks know her now..What a Blessing, What a Blessing." Rose now understands why so many come by to see Regina; she touched many lives it's because she reflects Jesus. She put on Christ's love because she too knew that she could offend people some times while in the flesh. It is so wonderful to be a part of a Community that accepts us right where we are and ministers to both saved and the lost.

The other thing that happened this weekend is that our two oldest Katie and Madison went down to te 5th Ward and advertised for the Crisis Pregnancy Center that is housed within the Farrington Mission that God has blessed NEHBC with. Katie has stated that God's calling was brought to her front and center. Her life will forever be changed as she takes this next step in her walk as a Christian. Madison has not said much yet, but it normally takes longer to resinate and then you can start to see changes being made. All of this to say that our children are growing up to know what is means to be mission minded and part of a community of believers.

This is all for know check back soon.

God Bless
