A Poem by Tim!

This poem will rock you if you read it with an open mind, if your close minded go ahead and click on the X button ENJOY!..........Broken No LongerA physician prepared his instructionAnatomy it would beWith hands on experienceAnd detail for all to see.
He began by building a modelProportioned in every partWith arms and legs and fingersAnd bone and nose and heart.
He made his model bigTwice that of a regular manHe wished his students to seeThe body's consummate plan.
But then he took a sawAnd cut it all apartHundreds of funny piecesAnd that was just the start.
He purchased a thousand magnetsTo hold the pieces in placeHe glued and glued and pastedHere and there as the case.
When each part had a magnetWhere each magnet ought to beHe surveyed all his workAnd thought all would agree.
This was a great inventionNone like it was ever seenHundreds of funny piecesNice and neat and clean.
After all, it was quite easyTo tear a body apartBut to put it back togetherNow where would each one start.
He imagined in himselfSome would take the heartAnd begin to the build the bodyBut would miss some vital part.
Others may take a toeAnd find it wondrous funTo build the body upwardsReaching to the sun.
He thought about the insightHe would gain into each oneAs he observed where they startedAnd what was left when done.
The first day of class beganHe brought out first the boxAnd dumped the pieces on the floorOne thought it was an ox.
But as they began to workSomething appeared quite wrongThe magnets were all backwardsTheir repelling strength was strong.
One student picked up the toeAnother took the footBut try as they mightYou never saw such a sightThe toe and the foot wouldn't stick.
Another tried the headBut could not get the earTo stick to the placeWhere the ear has its baseHe stuck it to the teeth.
The heart stuck fast to the brainBut repelled like crazy the vein.And the tongue to the eyeSaid "hi."
By now all the students were workingGiving effort to the causeThey retrieved from somewhere tapeAnd bandages and gauze.
But even these did not help themThe hand rejected the armAnd though bandaged tightly togetherThere was no connecting charm.
The experiment made quite a storyA lesson never forgotTo hold a body togetherTakes more than tape and cloth.
There must be some connectivityA relationship we must seeEach attached to anotherAnd connected properly.
The church is like that bodyWith many scattered partsEach with a functionNot everyone's the heart.
But if there is repulsion, Envy, discord, strife;We cannot fit together, So much for body life!

Verse 1:(Lecrae)Woke up this morning too depressed and shamed to leave my bedCan't stand to see my own reflection so I hang my headfeel like a disappointment like the scum of the earthI'm so hurt I know you see I can't cover my dirtmy souls dying hearts weak and I cant even cryI'm sposed to run to you but WHY I'm such an evil guyThe sun's shining but for me it's the darkest of daysTry to pretend it never happened but the guilt remainsI leave the house it feels like everybody knows I did itFeel like they reading my mind and know the sin I committedThrough your blood I'm acquitted but my heart doesn't get itOh God I'm desperate for Help cause I'm grieving your SpiritI couldn't sing in the sunday service, Lord I felt fakeand when they started communion I just made an escapeI'm in need of your grace/ feels like you hid your faceLord Lead me back to cross and show me my sins erased
Hook:(Cam)I'm so desperate; I can't believe I've sinned against youCreate in me a clean heart (I'm so sorry)Your mercy is what I need
Verse 2:(Lecrae)I'm waste deep in my pity/ Is Satan tryna trick me and tell me you wont forgive mecause it's startin to get me/ Jesus help me quickly I hate the wrong I've done/ I know we all fall but I feel like the only one/ Feels like I should be shunned/ should I punish myself/ I know it's dumb cause by your death all my sin has been dealt/ But my sin is been felt/ I didn't want to do it/ but what I want to do I don't/ I swear I'm goin through it/ I'm tryna open up my bible need to read your pages/need you Lord but my guilt has got me feeling so faithless/ Help me see where grace is/ take me back to the basics/ help me find my joy in you and not people and places/ my sin is ever before me I turned my back on you/ Oh father break and restore me to bring me back to you/my sin is ever before me I turned my back on you/ God break and restore me to bring me back to you
Hook:
Verse 3:(Lecrae)have mercy on me God according to your steady lovewipe away my transgressions and wash me in your bloodCreate in me a clean heart renew a right spiritDon't hide your face from me God/ your Presence keep me near itI'm waiting patience on you Lord i know you hear my cryRestore your Joy in me/ for you alone I live and die/It's you I Glorify cause you don't want my sacrifice/ you want me broken and contrite trusting in the Christ/ I confess to you my sin and you show me mercy/ I turn away from it demonstrating that you are worthy/ over lust, over pride, over all sin/ is my affection for Jesus who died for all them/ I was lost now I'm found I was toss to the ground/ My sin weighed on me heavy but I am no longer bound/ As sure as Christ wear the crown/ I know that grace will abound/ And even when I feel lost I know in You I am found/

No Rush!

This is a posts I posted about 3 months ago. I wanted to post it again because I feel we all rush so much myself included! Good lunchtime to everyone. I encourage you to slow down today and just tell God Thank You. We have so much to be thankful for and sometimes or should i say all the time we rush through our day without a smile on our face and peace in our souls! Stop and listen, Listen to your spouse and your children today. But most of all listen to God, he is everywhere. He is in the wind, the rain, you see his beauty through the flowers and the sunsets. You will be amazed at what you will learn and what impact you will have on others as you go through your day not rushing! So smile and have a Blessed day! Love Jason

Moving Forward!!!!!!

Do you ever catch yourself looking back into your past? Maybe at some mistakes you made or maybe just wishing you could change some things? If we would all be honest we have all done this maybe this week! I’m convinced most people limit their abilities to chase God’s plan for their lives by looking backwards instead of moving forward! Hey what’s done is done and we can’t change the past so why do we sometimes worry about our mistakes and our missed opportunities. In Philippians 3:13-14 Paul lays the foundation for how we should press forward to what lies ahead and never look back! If you’re holding on to something from your past and it’s eating at you grab a pen and a piece of paper. Now write down what it is that continues to haunt you. Then tear that piece of paper up and throw it away! That has always made me feel better! You see Jesus will set you free from your past and help you make better decisions in the future. If you’re a Christ follower you need to forget about your past because Jesus has! He loves you for who you are today and for what you will become through him as he leads you and guides you! So today repent and let the Son set you free, because who ever believes in Jesus is free indeed! Love You Guys and Gals Jason

My Life Story!

Good morning this will be one of the longest posts you have probably ever read! It’s the story of my life, the bad decisions and the great decisions! Well I grew up in Abbeville SC my childhood was awful suffered some abuse and went through the divorce of my parents. We never went to church and me and my sister really had no father figure there for us! He went to jail and to this day that’s where he is. So as I grew older I got involved in sex at a very young age as well as drugs and alcohol and I had a huge addiction to pornography. I abused drugs and alcohol for years! Then after graduation I continued to party and be what I always said I would never be a loser! Though I did maintain a job through all of my mistakes I wasted the money away. Then in November of 2000 I met my wife and as we started to date my influences rubbed off on her and we started partying together and of course everything that comes along with partying we did it! Then something great but scary happened she got pregnant with our first child! We were not married and did not even live together. So my lifestyle slowed down some and I started to save for us a place in Anderson. We moved to Anderson when Ethan was 1 and started living together and no we were not married! This continued for a while until my wife got invited to church by her mother! It was New Spring Church in Anderson then they were located at Anderson College Fine Arts Center. So she began to go and I noticed a change in her, she would constantly invite me and I told her I didn’t need church on Sunday that was my day to sleep in! But she was relentless she said Jason this church is different you come as you are. At that time I was still using drugs and alcohol on a daily basis. So finally one day I went to church with her and I must say I was floored at the love shown toward me and my family. I liked it and we started going every Sunday. After a while me and my wife started fussing and she looked at me one night I never will forget it she said I don’t know if I want to continue living like this. She went on to tell me that the message Pastor Perry preached that Sunday “Get right or get out” it was something like that really made her think about the direction we were headed and it was a road of destruction! So she said I want to get married! So 2 days later we went to the courthouse and tied the knot! Then God really started rocking my world! We were picking up my son from his class after the church service and Cherie Duffey whom I Love dearly was standing there and she pulled us to the side and said have you guys ever thought about volunteering with the kids! Wow I was like are you serious we are screwed up people! Then she went on to say we all are so are yaw in for next Sunday we said yes and our lives from that point on began to do a complete 180. I quit the drugs, the drinking, and the porn and really started applying the things I was being taught every Sunday. Then my world got rocked It was in February of 2004 Perry spoke a message of repentance and salvation! You see I thought I was saved because I went down to the alter at the age of 10 during an Easter Sunday and said a prayer! Here’s the thing I did not even know what I was praying or what Jesus did for me, I just went through the motions I even got baptized yep and you guessed it I was just a wet sinner! So after the message Perry preached that day it left me knowing that for the first time in my life I knew I needed Jesus because I haven’t had him in my life! And for once I understood what Jesus done for me and why I needed him to save me! So that night I got down on my knees in our bedroom and give my life to Christ. A week later my wife got baptized and then months went by and then I got baptized! So we continued to teach in the children’s ministry at New Spring and we still do and it’s such a blessing for us! God has told me to do outreach evangelism in our community and were doing it! God has totally transformed us individually and together we are an awesome team. Now we have another child a little girl and yes she is a Daddy’s girl! Here’s the reason I shared my story God has a plan for you and it doesn’t matter how screwed up you are he can fix you if you allow him to. I am still screwed up and I’m an imperfect human being but it’s amazing how Jesus uses the screwed up people to reach others for Christ. If you would like to give your life to Jesus today Pray this “Dear Lord Jesus I know I’m a sinner and I need your forgiveness I believe you died on the cross and rose from the grave come into my life take complete control Jesus I give my life to you AMEN!” If you prayed that prayer you made the best decision of your life! You need to tell someone it’s AWESOME. Contact me and I will mail you a bible and your next step needs to be finding a Church that will love you no matter what for who you are! God Bless and I Love all of you out there! Verse of the day JOHN 3:16-17 have an awesome day love Jason!

My Prayer Pt.5

Hello today is the last part(5) of My Prayer I pray that through these 5 postings you realized we all need to live in a constant state of prayer and pray for each other and ask God for the big things! He said we have not cause we ask not! I am so thankful to have people that I know will and do pray for me, thank you for all of your prayers! Now for the post! Dear Lord Jesus I pray for the lost today! I pray for the people who have never heard your message of salvation and of truth! Jesus please put someone in the path of the lost in the world that will share with them what you done over 2,000 years ago so they would not have to die and spend eternity separated from you! I pray for the Christians out there to step up and lead people to you instead of expecting their Pastors to do it all the time! I pray for the young people of the up and coming generation that their churches would start investing time and money into them instead of spending it all on the church cemetery and trips for the seniors to pick apples! And finally I pray for every person who is searching for answers and life that you would draw them to you and use your people to make an impact in this nation and beyond! Use me Father I'm all in, everything I have is yours and everything I need is here, Father I have you!! AMEN!
