Wilderness Techie

I'm a tech guy. Computers mostly, web design, programming, etc. I've even tried my hand at raytracing. I live with my family on a 120 acre farm in south Missouri with any number of chickens, a horse, two ponies, 5 dogs, 29 cats, a few ginueas, about 80 goats or so and some Kikos, a bourke parakeet, 2 budgeragars, 2 lovebirds and 5 cockatiels. Oh, and about 25 head of cattle too; forgot about those. lol :)

Hope After the Storm

Today has been, I must say, about THE most meaningful Sabbath I've ever expierenced so far. This morning I listened to a sermon by Keith Daniels with my mom. That was extremely powerful. It was on not letting go of your family.

Right now, I decided to find sermon radio on live365. Found one, and the one I'm listening to right now is by C. Elijah Bronner titled Work in Progress. So much great stuff. Its so amazing that I came across just what I need when I need it, I know its Him becuase this is not the first time. Someone is watching out for me :) Bro. Bronner spoke about how when something happens that hurt, God uses it to work on you, make you better! Improvement is on the way, he says. Through a struggle, God is working on you, improving your character. Too much to mention here, so good... Overall message: Pain does GOOD! Is not IS good, but it DOES good!
I really suggest you just listen to it yourself! Right here: http://www.theonlineword.com/s/7256.wma


Also during our family reading this morning some passages really 'lit up' for me. I will list them below with personal comments.

Psalm 37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret-it only causes harm.

Psalm 37:14 The wicked have drawn the sword And have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay those who are of upright conduct.
Psalm 37:15 Their sword shall enter their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.
--- Even when the wicked (the bad guys) are about to be evil, how-ever it happens, maybe their sword slips, and hits themselves! And their bows break! haha! The wicked can do nothing against the poor and needy or the upright! YAY ^_^ Of course this dosent have to mean literal swords and bows, but also anything the wicked tries to throw at us as children of God. As long as we are trusting in Him, nothing truly evil can happen to us.

Psalm 37:21 The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and give.

Psalm 37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore.
--- Choose good. Leave evil. And guess what! You're going to dwell forever too!

I hope you find encouragement in what I have related as I have today.
(Listen to that sermon! It's too good to miss!)
