It has been a while....

I am sorry for the delays in posting to the site. I have been away for the summer where I had no internet, but dial-up. I am back at work but the first several weeks have been very hectic. I will try to post in my free time and I hope everyone has been enjoying the site. Now for Today's Ponderings...I had an old friend make contact with me yesterday and I realized how much our life changes. Years ago I was a wild man...I rode with a motorcycle club...drank alcohol in mass quantities...told lies...and did many other heinous things. I realized how little I miss these things. I am actually happy with my life now...it is filled with joy...and peace. Jesus tells us that we are a new creation, but it is more than that even. I know I have changed because God has changed my heart, but sin is only pleasant and fun for a season. It fades quickly or it takes more and more powerful forms of sin to cause pleasure. Only through God can we know real joy and happiness. I have missed this friend...he was the best of a bad bunch...some of whom would now be considered the dregs of humanity. I have loved them all, and so does my God. If you were an old friend of mine...Someone still cares...and someone is praying for you...May God bless you and keep you.
