Where's Dave?

Wow.... long time, no see blog of mine! With Twitter and Facebook and texting a part of my life now, I haven't given you any attention in a long while! Hmmm. Should I just close you down..?..or just stop back in from time to time? Ok... like Jack Bauer, "YOU LIVE ANOTHER DAY"...

I normally don't have conversations with a page on the screen, but you know now why this blog is so out-dated.... Even now, I don't have time to update all the broken links and replace missing videos, etc....

Ola and Aloha  :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 ME

18 years ago, I met Jesus. My wife just informed me that she was leaving and I couldn't FIX it, though in my OWN strength, I sure tried. Jesus was waiting. I drove my truck all day, calling people to get involved, to help change her mind. Jesus was waiting. After every attempt from every angle and such, after I got the very end of myself, well... Jesus was waiting! And immediately received me, held me and gave me new life. One must die to self or he is just faking it we must admit. Not that I am already perfected. I have my good days and some not so good. I am going through some tough times now with church, my service for Christ, etc... God will get me through this!! He is not finished. The same deal is for ALL, not for a select few as some mistakenly sincerely believe.... that's doesn't fit the God that I know, the One who waited for this man to bottom out and just look up, confessing the Lord Jesus with his mouth, believing is his heart that God raised Him, Jesus!, from the grave, conquering death once for all. This man... met Jesus 18 years ago and my only regret is that I didn't sooner. But.........that's OK, that's my story, the truth. My complete testimony is at the bottom of this page. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD DAVE :)

Newsboys New CD "RESTART"

Excited about release of 'RESTART" from the Newsboys. God continues to use these guys over many years and a few change-ups. I never miss their concerts because I always encounter God through worship with the guys. Here's a lyric video of their new song, "Live With Abandon"




LIVE WITH ABANDON

New Job Status

Ok.....ok...this is old news but I'm just getting around to posting here about it. Appears that my blog posting is waning somewhat.....ok....a whole lot! Oh well... we all go through phases yes?!?!

I now am a full time bus driver for Suwannee County Schools here in Florida. I still drive motor coaches on Saturdays and during the summer months, which is fast approaching! The decision to go with the school was that I needed a full time, not a part time status. But I love both so I will be the BIG coach when I can :) 

 

Hope to be posting more regularly!!

Thanksgiving 2012

Thanks be to GOD for all He has done for me... Can I get an Amen? If I could list all that He has done for me, I would run out of words, looking for some new words to adequately express my thoughts. Yes, I still sin.... too much it seems lately, but I still know that He is in my corner, in my heart... cheering me on to be a better man and encouraging me to run this race well. I get so tired of repenting of the same nagging sin, thinking that God is just about ready to say "OK, that's one too many, you are not Mine".... That's downright scary!! But knowing His Word, He is not giving up on me just yet. And for that alone, I am so thankful. He loves me, He hates my sin... I just have to hate it that much as well and conquer these things that can be a stumbling block, things that can be a foothold for the enemy to attack.

I spent the day with family, eating and then some more :) Playing corn hole to work off the FULLness, enjoying each others company. My daughter has grown into a beautiful young woman. I pray for a godly man to enter her life, only if he doesn't move her away that is.. :)  My son had to work but will be coming in soon. He is a fine young man. Thanks be to GOD for all He has done for me!

Third Day's NEW CD "Miracle" preview

Happy Birthday Dave

Well Happy Birthday you old geezer you. You do not deserve to have it so good but since God is so good to you, you can't help but have a good day no matter what might come your way. I bet you couldn't even name all of the ways God has blessed you. But try to anyway, it will change your attitude and life.

September 3, 1995 ... the day you met Jesus..! Wow... that was many years ago now, what..?..16 years?!?! I know, you wouldn't trade them for anything but still, there were some days since then that you would rather 'do over'. Who hasn't wanted to do that! But knowing that you are in Christ Dave, 1John 1:9 tells you to confess and He will forgive and your relationship can again grow and Glow! Thank God for that..!

I know that you are not all what God wants you to be... so He's a still working on you, as the saying goes. (Just quit making it SO hard for Him to change you)

Thank you Jesus for saving a sinner as Dave. He loves you with all of his heart, all of his soul and all of his mind. Because of YOU Lord, he can thrive in this world and in the one to come! Help him to tell others of your amazing love and of your desire for us to know you as Savior and Lord.

Happy Birthday Dave... you've already received the best gift ever...JESUS CHRIST..!

Lazy Dave

As you may have noticed, I haven't posted much lately. Eh.... oh well. From what is on here, you can get an idea of how I see things. :) I have been spending too much time on Facebook I reckon? Have a great day. Love Jesus, it will change your life!

Thanksgiving wishes to all.

I know I haven't posted anything in a long time now. Guess I am too busy, too lazy or both! But there is more than enough stuff here now that gives anyone an idea what old Dave is about :) Thank God for providing all that I need, even when I feel so unworthy at times. I am so glad that my salvation and eternal life doesn't depend upon my behavior, but my belief. That simple belief that Christ died for my sin, was buried and arose 3 days later, conquering death and the grave, providing assurance to all people who would follow Him. Of course my behavior has changed (for the good) since Jesus came into my life, but at times we all slip up in some way. Confession and restoration is always provided by my Savior. THANK YOU LORD should be my 'heart cry' today and always....
"Give honor to the LORD for the glory of his name. Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness." -Psalms 29:2 (NLT)

Can you laugh at yourself?

Never do anything silly when your friend has his Blackberry posed to capture the moment!! This is a very humbling shot….but funny. I was trying out my new Guitar Hero hat. I think it was squeezing my head..??
