About a month ago I went in for a complete physical ( the first in about ten years). By and large I am in excellant health ( I,m sure in no small part because I have recently lost 45 lbs and reintroduced myself to the gym). The on set back was that the chest xray showed a nodule on the upper right lobe of my lungs. Now although I have given up tobacco about six years ago I was still a smoker for about thirty years. Two or three packs a day was not unusual for me. So quite hionestly the prospects of lung cancer were not a big surprise to me.

     The doctor told me to schedule a cat scan and showed me the xray. I took it alot better than my wife LOL. My very first call was to my church to send out an email  to the prayer chain. I also called a couple of friends including Nick ( no secnd name necessary). The outpouring of support was hearwarming and left me very emotional but the one thing i would not allow was any negative talk or negative praying in my pesence. Call me crazy but I was absolutely sure I was going to be okay. After all I knoiw I will not live one day longer or die one day before the Lord calls me home.

     I was even joking with my sunday school class that the only thing that scared me was losing my hair. LOL

The day before the cat scan results came in I called a friend of mine and told him that the Lord put it on my heart the night before that when the Cscan results came in the spot was going to be gone.

   Currently I work an overniht swhift but the next day I stayed awake all day waiting to hear from the doctors office. Now the knew  I was a bit religious becuse when I was thewre I also had them fill out a form for my application to become amissionary and I had spoken to (witnessed ) to one of the nurses. When she called me she informed that the  test had come back clear. When i asked her what that meant she  was kind of laughing happily and told me that the spot was GONE.. I asked her if I needed any more tests and she just told me to be happyand accept the results that there was no explanation. I told her there sure was aND WE BOTH KNEW WHAT IT WAS .

GOD IS GOOD.

                                                       Be blessed

 Well currently my license is with Weichert Referrals and I am back in foodservice. I am working the overnight shift six nights a week in the deli dept. of a very upscale supermarket. It pays the bills but those of you who know me know that is not where my heart is which is why I have just mailed off the application for my wife Eileen and myself to become fulltime missionaries at Childrens Bible Fellowship of New York.

 I have inserted the link and hope you will check it out it is an amazing place. UI had been famuiliar with them because I have done some volunteer work with their urban ministry team (street preacing in the Bronx) but when I toured the camps I was overtaken. The work they do with disadvantaged youth and especially with the developmentally and physically chalenged youth and adults is simply awesome.

    I always say that God talks to us but that most of us are too thick too listen, well I am listening. When I was shown the wheelchair accessible swimming pool I was so overwhelmed that I trulybelieve that not pursuing this would be akin to saying no to God.

 

     There are many things to work out even if the application goes through. The issues withmy daughter , the chance I may be taking legal guardianship or my grandchildren, what to do with my home and of course raising support ( be prepared to receive your letters) lol.

     But through it all I know that God is good and what seem like insurmountable tasks for me are notthing for God. So I am trusting in Him and believing that if this is truly where he wants me, He will make it happen. I can't wait to find out how it all works out.

     I have finished my associates degree in Biblical studies bit the bachelors has been a struggle, overnight shifts are a difficult adjustment and of course I tried to keep up my various volunteer activities but sadly they have fallen off to.But through it all I have a wonderful wife who stays by my side, a great church family and a faithful God to whom I owe everything.

  To all of my friends who may not have noticed the email notification, I have changed my email to hughkrone@gmail.com.  I have had my old email address for many years and was very hesitant to change it but current events necessitate it. I have had my AOL account since we bought our first PC i think and although they had become very liberal I was very comfortable navigating and I have never been a big fan of change just for the sake of change.

    But this week AOL announced they were purchasing the Huffington Post  and hiring Arianna Huffington for  a rediculous amount of money. I simply can not send money every month to any organization that has anything to do with the Huffington post.

In checking back it turns out that I id miss thr 90 cutoff by 9 days so my rainmaker status was removed. I thought I had mended most of the fences I had buldozed over inthe early days. But wasn't it fun whenI had the 10 straight days of bring back Bill Burress posts. I averaged well over 100 comments on each of them.

     Of cource acusing certain big wigs of being anti Christian did not make me a beloved member to manmagement. I remeber becom ing a blogging maniac trying to reach top spot in my state only to have the memeber I was chasing win a contest that noone else could understand how she won.(I knew all along) and mentioned it. At one [point Rich told me I had more complaints filed against me than any other rainer because the didn't feel I should get points for putting up Bible lesson posts. These posts havelead toalot offriendships and also some occasional internet counseling seesions which made me relize I needed to bring some counseling courses into my studies.

Although I do honestly admit that there were more than a few times when I wasn't showing glowing Christian Character(One of the reasons I cut back) I was still a positive force to alot of people many of who I stay in contact with although they have left the rain.

But in the only aerea that really matters you can not tell me that the Lemming Wars were not good for business. Once those clowns from tomato radio or whatever they call them selves got a hold of it AR was an overnight interbet sensation. LOL I should have ambassador for lifejust for helping rid you ofsome of the crazies that used to inhabit the rooms Deep in side you knew yiou were hppy about that Bob look at how much more cicvil things have becone. Nick even featured a story about Karen Anne in silent majority( I will smack him when I see him LOL) So please Mr Stewart, I've kept up my part of the bargain, I've been a good boy, this is the first time Ive even mentioned lemings since I promised you I'd stop. Besides you just have to let me reach my goal of 500 posts without a feature. So fay my record is perfectRemeber I we here when 50000 members was a giant milestone and all the features were given to a group of ten or less membersI can't help it that I considered it my job to continuosly point that out. Back in the day when you really wanted me out all you would have had to do was give me one feature I would have went running for the hills

     Now Iv,e just become a quiet old fat guy who likes to read my favorite bloggers and occaisionally write about whats on my mind.Kind of like Sardi but from a right wing wing nut perspective So please mr Stewart be a sport and reenstate me PPPLEAASSSSEE

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE RED HAIRED GIRL

 

I know I haven't posted in awhile, but this past thursday I had an experience that I just can't shake. For four days I have been praying and asking the Lord what He was trying to tell me but in retrospect I think I knew immediately.
I recently took a position as a driver for a laboratory. On any given day I may drive between 250 and 450 miles dropping off bottle orders and reports and picking up sample to be analyzed at the lab. This much time alone on the road gives you alot of time to think, which can be either a good or bad thing depending on what is going on in your life.
I have been pusuing a degree in Biblical Studies in the hope of being able to enter full time ministry, I believe with all my heart that this is what the Lord is calling me to do and I know that each new experience is just His way of preparing me, but there are times the road to accomplishing this seems endless. Lately a series of financial, physical and emotional occurrences had been taking its toll.
The other day I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic when up ahead high on the embankment underneath a bridge I say this young redheaded women sitting on a couch. On a sunny 95 degree day you see many people outside especially in the cities and at first I thought nothing about it rather than it was a strange place to be hanging out. As I neared the overpass I realized that there were clusters of clothes and personal belongings scattered up and down the embankment on both sides of the highway and I realized that what I was witnessing was a homeless colony.From the looks of things there were probably dozens of people who slept here each evening," But she just didn't look like a homeless person".
As I came closer the next minute of my life was one that will be burned into my mind forever. At first I wondered why this attractive young women was not only staying in a homeless colony, she seemed to have the most choice position. I doubt she was a newcomer. Secondly I was frightened for her, as she sat there just staring out over the highway, rats the size of small dogs skittered past her feet and she didn't even budge.I was frightened to be 100 feet away in the car and she didn't even notice them. Then we made eye contact. I will be praying for this girl for the rest of my life. She may have been 19 or 45, she was beautiful yet frightening, I wanted to get away as fast as I could but all day felt that I should have just found someplace to pull over so I could help her. I don't know what I could have done but I felt so "lacking".
So yes, I do know what the Lord was telling me. He does have plans for me, He knows I want to make a difference, He's just not finished preparing me yet. So I'll keep on trusting, but I'd like to ask all or you,"Please" PRAY FOR THE RED HAIRED GIRL.

Definatly worth 10 minutes of your time

Thanks Lee and carol

Mike hope you don't mind I felt this ne needed more exposurte

Racism among Christians

 

We are all created in the image and likeness of God.And yes I am a creationist, I do not believe I evovled from anything I believe I am God's handiwork.Now brothers and sisters we need to stop spending so much time on the things that divide us. it is bad enoughwe battle between denominations we can not also have Christians dividing by race. If we are to accomplish the grat commission we need to move beyond that.
If we have a problem with a brother the bible tells us we are to straighten things out with that brother first. All who have accepted Christ have become one family,Christs body on earth. The bible says we will know them by their fruit and there are times I think some peoples Christianity needs to be question and searched for fruit.
I personally do not want anyone sent to eternal damnation because i was not bold enough to confront them. I think we are in a time where there are more and more false teachers with the anti-Christ spirit within them and we must challenge them at every turn.BUT it needs to be done as a Christian for the glory and honor of God and racism has no place in the equation.
Do not speak out of a place of racism nor avoid a confrontation because someone might accuse you of racism. Make sure you are speaking out of the heart of a Christian, be bold, be strong, but be loving.
The main thing I am trying to say is that during such a time as ours Christians need to be uniting under the banner of Gods desires for our lives and not separating because of some silly pact mentality which can only move you further and further away from the Lord.

   I was watching Sarah Palins mama grizzly ad the other day and  I got to day dreaming about how much bettwer off we would be with Sarah as president and then I figured why stop there.

Here is my allstar lineup: at least things would be fun to watch

PRESIDENT           Sarah Palin

Vice President      Michele Bachman

Press Secretary     Ann Coulter

Napolitanos job     Michele Malkin

Sec. of State          Laura Ingraham

Attorney general     Meghan Kelly

Treasury Secretary  Glenn beck

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 (King James Version)

 

 

 ¹⁴If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

 

 HAS ANYONE NOTICED THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH BOTH NATURAL AND MAN MADE DISASTERS HAVE BEEN AFFLICTING OUR COUNTRY RECENTLY.

  Could it be because we have turned so far away from the Lord that He is lifting His hand of protection which has sheltered us for so long.

     It is time to turn off Oprah and open our Bibles.

     Prohecy tells us that eventually the world will align as those nations that side with Israel and those nations which side against Israel and it seem pretty obvious which way we are heading.

     I believe that unless we are able to raise up a nationwide revival it is probablly allready to late for our country, but as real estate professionals I would think that now is the time to lay claim to your own little piece of the New Jerusalem.

Narrow is the path that leads to heaven and that path is thru Jesus Christ who is "The way , the truth, and the Life.

Romans 10:9 (King James Version)

 

 

 ⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

 It is a gift people the greatest most loving gift you will ever be offered but you have to do your part and allow Jesus into your life. Either that or stock up un sun block because the end times are near.

 

Reserve your own little piece of Real Estate in the New Jerusalem
