the joy of the lord. I have many reasons to end my life if I allow that junk to overwhelm me. I have my bad days but ya know we must look at god and what he has done.

Do you think when you preach to unbelievers, they truly ignore you or deep deep down inside of their soul their like..."wait a minute. hmm..."

if they do and seldom have I, I kinda don't care what they think of me, when I do. I do tell others at times on the net. I had such an occasion sunday on fb. that man was well rather biased in that he assumed that white people couldn't understand hatred.

I won't get tired of living here, because I know the Lord and his church have some renovating to do. It will be quite refreshing to see all the old, oppressive governments having their comeuppance and eating crow (no, actually in Revelation the crows will be eating them! ) Then the real government here on earth will start, ruling with a rod of iron, but in righteousness. Keep that in mind and everything will fall into place. Then.... salvation in numbers far greater than the church will take place both in the millennium and afterwards. The church is the spiritual extension of the Levitical and Judaic tribes only, the rest of the people are as the other tribes as illustrated in Israel's theocratic structure. That's what the bible is all about.

I visit the nursing home at least once a month, after that my issues seem a lot less pressing.

Persecuted?
I still go to Church where I want, carry my Bible where I want, don't feel my life or my families life is in danger for my beliefs.
I have not been told to leave my home or my job because of my beliefs, never even been beaten or jailed for them.

I still see God at work in peoples lives, I still see people excepting Christ? I see a world that is looking for hope and I know the God of hope.

I'll go home as soon as He calls, He controls that anyway.

I get tired of being here sometimes too. But not because of people generally. I've found most non-Christians are pretty open to the Word in some form or another. (ie..speaking the word or acting out the word in your life). The problem is so many of us Christians believe we can change people. We can't. Nor is it our job to change people. It is the Holy Spirit that changes people. Our job is to spread the Word of God but to do so with wisdom. Not randomly shouting it or shoving it down peoples throats. Living out the Kingdom in your life can often times be more powerful to a person than any words you can say.
