Since I was spit out of the belly of the fish a couple of weeks ago, the world has seemed much kinder and brighter each and every day. When I was spit up on the shore, I picked myself up an went to have my proverbial talk with Nineva (metaphorically of course). Nineva was somewhat receptive to what I had to say but why was I surprised?, God had told me to do it and therefore Nineva was ready for what I had to say.
Once this story has played out completely, I will be making a protected post for those who are curious about this drama that has been playing itself out in my life over the last year.
I called some friends in Odessa Texas this afternoon and had a long talk with both of them. They are long lost friends who were fired from our church almost 18 months ago. They are doing great. They are exactly where God wants them and testified that each second of the day they know they are doing just that.
We have not talked for almost a year now and I had some things I needed to say to them and they had some things they needed to say to me as well. The coolest thing is that while I was talking to the wife, the husband was on the phone talking to one of the people that was fired at the same time they were. The husband did not know that his wife was talking to me while he was talking to the other party. The husband relayed to me that he had told the other person that had been fired that he looked forward to the day when he could talk to me about the things that had happened. If that does not put goose pimples on your body, NOTHING ever will.
I was talking to his wife while he was in another room talking to someone saying that he looked forward to the day when he could talk to me about some stuff. I know I am repeating myself but I really had to make the point.
Needless to say, some healing occurred in our relationship during the call. Whether things can ever be the same between me and those who were hurt when they were fired by other people, only God knows. My only hope is that I will continue to do what God wants me to do when he wants me to do it. Cool thing is that this is becoming easier as the days go by.

Brother, that is too cool!!! I am so glad you listen for His agenda!! I am reminded of your love for God when you shared with me the story of that song and how you would like for God, Jesus, to search you out at a party. In that same conversation you had said you wanted to be like David, (Biblical David), a man after God’s own heart. You just stay in that flow your in, that stream that is taking you just where God wants you to be. I will keep praying that you won’t hit a rock or low water so you can keep flowing with Him. I pray for you, not just because I love you and you are my brother but also because you are a leader of God’s church that I attend.
With much Love
Praise God. And I am interested to hear about this whole thing. And you know man, I don’t think things can ever be the sae in general, bevcause things are always changing; that, and I say move from glory to glory, eh brother?

Awesome! God is so good! I too have spoken to that party. Actually awhile back she called me. Scared me pretty bad, but it turned out to be very good! Peace was made and that’s what really counts! The relationship between my brother and their son is good, but I think my brother struggles with issues in the church still due to this. It’s been really hard on him and the teens, but I am hoping that time will heal. Thanks for your insite!
Now I realize why I keep getting comments – Its Friday night – Yes very cool picture but I have been reading some very depressing crap about people and finaces etc – That is why God put Thanksgiving first – I will be joyful over here all by myself and here are people with loving famillies depressed – I hpe I mad a differenc in some of them – I know for sure I did for one familly – Grat story bubba and quiet frankly kinda spooky – Thinking of each other at the same time – Hope all is well – Its great here – Getting closer of getting out from under the plumbers – Things happened yesterday that has my big boss thinking so hard his brain is smoking and he said again (temporarilly) ordering for the plumbers – They have 5 people I could train — Love
