The path is narrow and I am wide!

Hello my dear and distant friends and family! I just wanted to make a quick post to tell you that I am in fact still alive and did not fall of the face off the earth!

Since I have been posting on here for the past few years, my policy has always been honesty first and honesty no matter what, so in keeping with that attempt at selfless honesty; I have been pretty much lost. Some hurdles have been rather hard to over come and I have really been trying to do it on my own despite what I know in my head and my heart. I have been wanting to get on here with some inspiring words but inspiration is in short order when walking alone…

Anyway, I am still just a broken sinner trying his best the walk the narrow path. I hope to have some inspiraitional words soon but I have some pain and sin that needs to be left at the cross. I know, it is just plain dumb to carry around that garbage but for reasons known to Gods, I can’t let it go right now.

Be back soon! I love you all,

Scott

When it hurts so badly you just want to throw your hands up… WAIT! Give God a chance, his grace goes beyond our understanding and his mercy is waiting on you right now! I know you may feel like your in the bottom of a hole all alone but God is right there beside you. He has given us so many assurances of his love, understanding and peace in the bible. Listed below are just a few of the passages that will lift your spirit and ignite a powerful beam of light that will cut through the darkness.

When you get sad Jesus says in John 14:

 1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

When you have sinned let your heart pour out to God like David did in Psalm 51(The Message):

 1-3 Generous in love—God, give grace! Huge in mercy—wipe out my bad record.
   Scrub away my guilt,
      soak out my sins in your laundry.
   I know how bad I’ve been;
      my sins are staring me down.

 4-6 You’re the One I’ve violated, and you’ve seen
      it all, seen the full extent of my evil.
   You have all the facts before you;
      whatever you decide about me is fair.
   I’ve been out of step with you for a long time,
      in the wrong since before I was born.
   What you’re after is truth from the inside out.
      Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life. [Read the rest of this entry...]

All I can say is Wow! I highly suggest you see it. I cannot stop thinking about it. The movie goes deep into the viewers own life and exposes truths we don’t always like to see. I must admit that after seeing this movie, I have not been the husband God wants me to be. I left the theater longing for change, change that boils down to a better, more fulfilled relationship with God and with my wife. Bottom line, this movie can change you!

One step closer (this week) to Christ,
Scott

I remember back when I was 15 years old. I was riding my bike and saw an old car behind a body shop. I asked the owner of the shop what he was going to do with that old car. He told me that if I could figure a way to get it home; it was mine! A few hours, buddies and a tow chain later, I was the proud owner of a 1975 Trans Am! The car had a 400 engine that had a bad electrical fire so it was useless, the tranny was bad also. I remember finding a big 455 in a junk yard with a Turbo 400 behind it that I transplanted into the car.

Money is pretty tight when you are 15 and I made $97 a week working part time as a stock boy so needless to say this was a slow going project. Piece by piece I put the car back together until all I needed was a custom length drive shaft. In short, I never got the drive shaft made and the car just sat there until my dad got rid of it.

I can remember a long time ago in a galaxy um… anyway, I had a teacher that told me:

“Scott, I am not asking you to be the smartest in the class, I just want you to try harder”

To be honest, I didn’t really listen back then but [Read the rest of this entry...]
