Are you confused? Can you never seem to find a path or purpose in life? Does it seem like someone has turned out the lights and you cannot find the switch? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus proclaimed, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).
Do you ever feel like you are locked out of life? Have you tried so many doors, only to find that what is behind them is empty and meaningless? Are you looking for an entrance into a fulfilling life? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus declared, “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture” (John 10:9).
Do other people always let you down? Have your relationships been shallow and empty? Does it seem like everyone is trying to take advantage of you? If so, Jesus is the way! Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me” (John 10:11, 14).
Do you wonder what happens after this life? Are you tired of living your life for things that only rot or rust? Do you sometimes doubt whether life has any meaning? Do you want to live after you die? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus declared, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25-26).
What is the way? What is the truth? What is the life? Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
The hunger that you feel is a spiritual hunger, and can only be filled by Jesus. Jesus is the only one who can lift the darkness. Jesus is the door to a satisfying life. Jesus is the friend and shepherd that you have been looking for. Jesus is the life—in this world and the next. Jesus is the way of salvation!
The reason you feel hungry, the reason you seem to be lost in darkness, the reason you cannot find meaning in life, is that you are separated from God. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned, and are therefore separated from God (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23). The void you feel in your heart is God missing from your life. We were created to have a relationship with God. Because of our sin, we are separated from that relationship. Even worse, our sin will cause us to be separated from God for all of eternity, in this life and the next (Romans 6:23; John 3:36).
How can this problem be solved? Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus took our sin upon Himself (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that we deserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death (Romans 6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself: “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live. If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His death as the payment for our sins, all of our sins are forgiven and washed away. We will then have our spiritual hunger satisfied. The lights will be turned on. We will have access to a fulfilling life. We will know our true best friend and good shepherd. We will know that we will have life after we die—a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
GOD is REAL!
REVELATION
I had a revelation this past week, and as a result my mind se and personality has shifted into a slightly darker spot. Anyone who knows me knows that is never a good thing. It is just one little thing that caused the shift, and as a result I will most likely do somethings others will not like.
Thought I had a friend and that all the bull of the past several months could be laid aside for 1 game of pool. Apparently not. My pm was ignored. It is never a good idea to totally ignore me ESPECIALLY when you are lieing to others and telling them you are still my friend.
It is fine though now that I know this person is not now and prob never was my friend it frees me to tell some of the things we talked about that I would never have told if we were still friends. The total irony of this is finding this out after my ejection from a lg I was in. The sad part is they ejected 3 of my friends who did nothing wrong, just cause they were my friends, ohhhhhh and the sage remark was not waisted on me. You think we are evil. dearie, you got no clue what evil is YET.
EASTER
Happy Easter everyone. LIVE well, LAUGH often, LOVE much
I'll be looking for my Easter gifts
Warning! This post contains Eggs!
Joe was feeling rotten..he was losing weight rapidly despite eating his normal diet.
His wife cajoled him to go to the Doctor.
With trepidation,and fearing the worst, he attended an appointment on the Tuesday morning.
The Doctor prodded and poked.
"Tell me the worst Doc, It's Cancer or Ebola, or both?" said Joe.
"Joe, I think it's just a worm"
"Here's what I want you to do"
"Go home and take a peeled hard boiled egg and insert it into your bum"
"Ten minutes later (ten minutes exactly) insert a Mars Bar into your bum"
"Repeat this the following day and come back here with a hard boiled egg on Friday morning...ok?"
Joe thought that the Doc had lost his marbles but agreed to do as he said.
Joe arrived at the surgery on Friday,a hard boiled egg in his hand.
"Ok Joe onto the bed, trousers down and bum in the air" said the Doc.
The Doctor eased the egg into Joe's bum and waited.
Ten minutes elapsed and suddenly a huge worm showed it's ugly face out of Joe's bum..."Where's my Mars Bar?" it screamed
The Doctor picked up a baseball bat and promptly dispatched the worm with a mighty 'Thwakkkkkkkkk'
"Ok Joe, go home and start regaining some of that lost weight"
Who needs expensive drugs when we have Eggs and Mars Bars....Oh and a baseball bat?
Happy Easter everyone.:)
Holy Week
Have a Peaceful and Blessed Holy Week Everyone

Literal
It turns out a major study recently found that humans eat more bananas than monkeys. Makes sense to me, I mean I've never eaten a monkey.
My wife left a note on the fridge that said "This isn't working". I'm not sure what she's talking about. I opened the fridge door and it's working just fine.
IS SO TRUE
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
A Chilly Holiday?
My wife had been bugging me for ages, wanting to go on holiday, but unable to decide where she wanted to go.
So, finally, I got a map of the world and pinned it to a wall in the kitchen.
I gave her one dart "Wherever the dart lands that's where we will go" I told her.
So, we spent two weeks behind the fridge......
I’m done
I'm done. I'm done trying to get her. I just can't do it anymore... To bad it took me so long to figure it out, to stop making fool of myself, to try to be for her whenever sheneeded me...
