I wanted to share with everyone the events of the two days of our Costa Rica Mission Trip.
Yesterday we left Rockingham NC and drove to Ron and Heather Smith's home for the evening. There we met our counterparts from Georgia and had a great cookout. There are 20 of us on the trip. God has shown us much favor. I took the kids to the Mall of Georgia. They couldnt shop for looking at the huge mall. They seemed so amazed.
We got all crocs and business out of way an settled into a wonderful but quick nights sleep. We were up at 4am.
Day 2. This morning we left about 530am for the airport. Security and check in was a breeze. Thank you God. We are now in route to San Jose Costa Ricah. The clouds are so amazing. As I type we are in nothing but clouds. I always stand amazed at this. How great is our God.
We will land in San Jose, then travel three more ours and immediately go into a church service in which I am to preach. Cover me in your prayers this week and the team. As we stand with God and minister for him. Pray for favor.
Until next time... Keith

Just how good is God?
Just how good is God?
We all know His goodness is unmeasureable and unlimited. It is amazing how good our God is to us and to our families. His goodness far reaches more than we can imagine. It is unlimitid and His goodness is a tremendous blessing.
I awoke this morning thinking of the goodness of God. It overwhelmes me how good he is to me, my wife and to our families.
Today think of Goodness and rejoice that God is good all the time.

What happens when you do right but it is still wrong to everyone else?
I am learning much over the last few weeks. But one nagging question looms in my mind. What happens when you do right but it is still wrong in everyone elses eyes? I dont even know if there is an answer to this.
We should always do the Bibical thing that is correct. Yet so many do not do it and never condemed. Yet when we do what is biblically correct we are condemed, castigated to the side and trampled on.
Amazing that Jesus had to deal with this too. I guess some lessons are never learned.

Amazed!
I am simply amazed at several things. The first thing is I am amazed at how Christians can call themselves Christian and yet shun others. They do this despite hearing hundreds of sermons on Love through out their christian walk. It really is true that people who want their way and when the dont get it they dont act like Christians. However, they get their way and they are some of the spirit filled people in this world. Amazing! Scriptures are clear that we love one another despite differences. I wonder how God views our attitudes sometimes.
Second thing I am AMAZED at tonight is the fact the God knows where we are at all times. Even when the enemy comes God always steps up. I am amazed how he renews our strength and when we trust him it will all be okay. I am amazed at his enduring love and forgiveness. Even when our attitudes are bad, good, or just plain ugly, God loves and forgives.
Third thing I am AMAZED at is the fact that God loves me. I know he loves me. Without a doube he loves me. And no one or any thing can take that away. His love is pure and holy. GOd loves us unconditionally.

Impact!
Tonight I got a surprise phone call that blessed me and humbled me. One of my former youth from my days of youth pastoring at Axson COGOP, in Georgia called and asked me to perform his wedding. I was humbled and honored.
It got me to thinking, after years of service and working with people you wonder if you ever made a difference. You think about kids who you have pastored and others that you have worked with and you wonder what happens to them and how their lives turn out. You also wonder if they remember you. Sometimes you wonder if what you did for them made any difference whatsoever.
That phone call lets me know I touched his life somehow. You just dont have anyone marry you. I dont say that boasting, I say it as a reminder. No matter how long you are in ministry, you make a difference in somebody. You are a blessing to someobody. To somebody you were a life line. As a matter of fact the name of that youth group at Axson at that time was LifeLine Youth ministries. It fits now. Just maybe, just maybe today you will be someones life line. They will be eternally grateful. You make a difference in ministry

hello there
It has been a few months since I have updated my blog. Lot been going on.
Have you ever had a night when you could not sleep despite knowing you have much to do the next day? Thats me right now. It is 1:09am I am suppose to be up at 4am and at a hospital by 5:15am and i am wide awake. Is it that I just cant sleep? No! It seems the Lord keeps telling me to pray and then pray some more. So I pray. I am up now writing and praying. Praying for the people of our church that I now pastor, families that I know need a move of God, praying for the young lady who is giving birth soon from our church, the man having surgery at 5:15am, the leadership meeting tomorrow night, the budget meeting coming up and on and on. So much to pray for. However in the midst of all those prayers, I stop and ask God, "Who is on your heart for me to pray for?" He always answers. Somewhere in this world right now God is calling your name out through some human being to intercede on your behalf. Jesus is also praying for you right now. What a thought! The very Son of God is praying for me and you at this moment.
Keep that in mind and hopefully before 4am arrives I will have some sleep..............

The Power of God's Love
Have you ever thought about how powerful the love of God is? It is so amazing. His love is something we cannot comprehend in our human mind. Yet, even though we cannot fathom his love, his love is so real. Very real!
The love of God is so amazing and comforting. I have heard it said recently that often times we don't understand why our earthly dad's do what they do, but we trust them. Later on we learn they did what they did because they love us. So does our heavenly father. His love reaches boundaries we cannot see. It extends to the deepest part of our heart and very being.
The Power of God's love is more than what we can comprehend, but it is so real. Live in that love. His love never leaves.
