Bluehealer, congrats on the baptism. For some reason the Holy Spirit has led me to ask if your are saved? A lot of people believe you can get into Heaven just through baptism, but only salvation (the faith and belief that Jesus is the Son of God, and died on the cross for you, defeated death, and now sits on the right hand side of God on our behalf) will get you into Heaven.
I want to say, I'm not trying to be judgemental at all, it's only through brotherly love that I even ask the question.
God bless, and congrats

Absolutely blu! I have gone through some tremendous trails here lately, I, myself, strayed from the trail, my wife was layed off from her job, and my 19 year old son was on a drunken stuper, well on his way to becoming an alcoholic. It's only through the love of the Lord, my God, that I have pulled through. He is a merciful and loving God.

Luke 11
1 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
2 So He said to them, “When you pray, say:
Our Father in heaven,[a]
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.” [c]

Jim,
Congratulations on this. It will change your life forever.
I was sprinkled as a child in the Presbyterian Church, and I am sure that was a nice ceremony for my parents and family members. I left the Presbyterian Church many, many years later when they I found out that - as hard as it may seem to believe - the Pastoral Staff of my Church (and others above them, including and up to the Executive Presbyter of the Presbyterian Governing Body in Southern California) were parties to a cover up of my ex-wife’s affair. All of this caused me to think about my spiritual journey, and question some of the past traditions I had participated in; especially when I could not find a Biblical basis for a good deal of what we had been doing. And all of this gave me cause to find a Biblical-based Church; one based on establishing a relationship with Jesus Christ, rather than ceremony and non-Biblical tradition.
I read about Baptism, and what it meant; truly meant. I asked questions and spoke to elders. I looked at the essence of Baptism, and realized that meaningfully accepting Christ as the Son of God, and confessing your sins and repenting of them, is decision, confession, and a commitment an infant is incapable of making.
So, although I long ago accepted Christ in my heart, I obeyed the Gospel and was baptized in December 2009; four days before I married my wife in a covenant-based ceremony.
This was the best decision of my life.

That is awesome Beau! Congratulations to you also.
You know, it was at the point were I hated going to church (catholic), even though it was within walking distance from my home. Now I look forward to going (Baptist), Sunday and Wednesday and it's a 40 minute drive.
I am also reading the Bible for the first time in my life. It is absolutely the BEST BOOK ever printed.

One for the married guys out there:
Everyday in marriage is a new experience and lesson to be learned in our unique lives. Over the years, we continue to strengthen the mold of that foundation; and unite that commitment with god.
Married Love
You and I
Have so much love
That it
Burns like a fire,
In which we bake a lump of clay
Molded into a figure of you
And a figure of me.
Then we take both of them,
And break them into pieces,
And mix the pieces with water,
And mold again a figure of you,
And a figure of me.
I am in your clay.
You are in my clay.
In life we share a single quilt.
In death we will share one bed.

Hey Fellas,
Please pray for my son who is in the hospital, we had been going in and out of emergency since Saturday evening, and ended up with the ambulance taking us in there.
He started shaking and I sure couldnt tell the difference between a seizure and a bad case of the chills and called 911 immediately, and I was applying a warm cloth to his forehead,neck, and back to cool him down.
He had a fever over 100, and yesterday it hit its peak of 40.4 degrees celsius, for those like me who dont know what that is it is 104.72 Fahrenheit.
Fortunately the Tylenol is keeping the fever down, and the antibiotics are doing there job, yesterday he did not need to be administered the tylenol as much which to me indicates his fever is slowly going away.
Anyways Im a complete scatter brain, and my only priority at this time is my son's healthy and safety, and to reduce the amount of pain inflicted on my son at the hospital.
It turns out to be a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and it took 2 hours to finally find a vein for the IV.
He was throwing up his medication and not keeping his water down even though he would drink a lot.
All in all my labor day weekend was truly a weekend of non-stop labor to keep my son alive.
The doctors have run several blood tests, did a catheter, and they may have to do another one.. This is where good CHristian goes out the window, and I see my son suffering at what I perceive to be half a$$ed foot dragging hospital policies. Get the job done, do it right, and do it now! No need for repeats especially when my son is in constant pain, and is jabbed like a pin cushion.
Why the need for the repeated tests? They have before, during, and after conditions met.
They are trying to rule out any possibility the kidneys may have become infected, or started to get infected or any abnormality there.
ANyways I am unusually frustrated, have a very short fuse about all this and am praying that God have mercy on my son, and his health, he is a baby, and a very happy baby even through this mess he is still playful with me and his mom, and we spend the night together and he looks for us.
Please keep him in your prayers, that The Great Physician guide the hands of the doctors, and clears the minds from distractions of the nurses and lab techs, and give them clarity and wisdom.
Thank you all.

There's a reason why they call it "practicing" medicine bro. I've been a nurse for almost 2 decades and have been the one drawing blood and collecting urine while someone is in agony and it's not fun and when it's a child involved it's ten times worse. I pray that your son will make a rapid recovery and thank God that it is something as easy to rectify as a UTI. God bless you man stay calm for your son's sake if you are calm it will be reassuring to him.

@BlueHealer Not yet, they don't know exactly what it is, and they want to eliminate the chance its a kidney infection. I did some reading last night and the reflux into the kidneys can be corrected surgically. I may have the pages open on my browser at home and will pm you later on tonight with them.
No "parts" replacement, just some structural procedure, but the diagram was for males, and their urethra is longer than a females.
Im borderline hysterical and God is keeping it in check, am trying to hold back the tears no joke.
@BUCKNUTS Oh.. your the the one my son winces at and starts to cry when he sees them j/k I cant even imagine how hard it must be for the nurses to experience when its a child that doesnt know whats going on.
If I could I would have jumped in my sons body so he could be spared the pain, and instead I sang to him, and covered his periphery to not see the doctors doing the catheter and drawing the blood out, and gave him lots of kisses.
He is managing..
Well its "hopefully" just a UTI, and the ER doctor who saw him first said they want to check the kidneys by running tests and a renal ultrasound, or whatever to check the kidneys. I think that is happening today or tomorrow.
Thank you all. You are always in my prayers, and my memory fails me at who is going through what, but God knows His children and loves us more than a mother could and I know He is with us all through our trials,tribulations, and pains, that in the end He be glorified for all the good things He has done.

Sounds like a pretty safe bet that his kidneys were infected if it's become systemic with fever! I'm praying for the little fella too, my friend.
Bluehealer, check this out for your daughter:
2g/day of D-Mannose may afford your daughter an alternative to chronic ABs. I suggest you look into it bro. Natural, non-toxic, and promotes no antibiotic resistance! It's sweet too, so kids shouldn't complain about taking it.
Invalid Link Removed
Also, taking Xylitol daily has been shown to lower cavities in kids by up to 70% while also providing protection from recurrent UTIs, yeast infections, and even ear and respiratory infections.

Either one of these might be something to consider if your kids are prone to recurrent infections, and you don't want them taking ABs all the time.
God bless the children and the parents who care for them!

The doctor is waiting to see if she will outgrow the problem. In the latest test, the reflux wasn't as bad. If it doesn't close off on it's own, they will glue it shut with some sort of medical epoxy type stuff. It's been about 4 years and she hasn't had an infection since the diagnosis, so if this is what your son has, don't sweat it my friend, he'll be fine. Trust in the Lord!!!

An opportunity for a new job that may lead to greater utilization of my skills and greater fulfillment down the road but less money. It will very easily be a rate increase but they can only gaurantee 40hrs at this time. The difference would equate to $12k+ decrease in gross.

One thing I would urge you to consider is the relative stress level between the two positions. A significant reduction in stress can be worth more than $12K a year. When I divorced my ex-wife, it cost me agreat deal of money, and continues to do so in the form of child support. But, being away from my ex-wife has so significantly reduced my stress level that it was well worth it. In my case, she remarried almost immediately (ending spousal support forever), and my obligation for child support ends in June 2011. At one point, I was paying $30,000 a year in spousal and child support and - although I am very thankful that will drop to $0 in June 2011 - it was still worth it.
How unhappy are you at your current job?

A point I did not mention in my OP is that the shift will be a swing shift of 12:00 noon to 8:30PM. This will cut into my family, most importantly, my Father-Daughter time. It would be a very big disruption to the small amount of balance that this busy family has.
Additionally this shift will interfere with my evening Mens' Ministries service and fellowship opportunities as well as my own growth in group study and fellowship.
My employment is what I do for money, and is ultimately a vehicle and means to an ends - supporting my family. It is only a job.
On the other hand I work for the Lord. I know that my service for him in reaching other men in my mens' ministry work and is my calling and my gift and work for an eternity.
My heart tells me what is right and my head tries to convince me otherwise. I'll be in prayer as I have to have an answer before noon tomorrow.
Thanks for the prayer and support.

Really I am only as unhappy as I chose to be. The fulfillment and achievement is where I struggle. Based on my post above it is my believe, from evidence and experience, that the fulfillment and achievement that service for the Lord delivers will substantially exceed any I would find at any employer.
I am presently slotted to lead and or participate in some significant Mens' Ministry work at my church that I have witness transform the life of other men and their families as well as my own.
I am leaning in a direction.

Sounds like a no brainer to me brother Since you feel it's just a job and know that it will interfere with everything that is of eternal importance with the only benefit of the new job being the utilization of skills you have acquired. Just my 2 cents, you're a man who prays I'm sure you will have God's guidance on the matter.

Hey. Just going to update this...
I chose to decline the position and thanked them for the sincere interest and asked them to keep me in their mind if a regular schedule shift became available. I believe I made a very good impression on them.
I'm excited to start of a new 24 week session of Invalid Link Removed this next Thursday night. This is my true passion and I know God will reward me and bless me and my family for my trust, faithfulness and above all - obedience.

I think you made a good choice DD. Spending time with your children while they are still young is so very important. I was on 24 hour call, 7 days a week when my first two children were young and I missed out on a lot. I was fortunate to have a second chance at raising my third child with a normal job schedule. It is fantastic. She came ten years after my son and is definately a gift from the Lord. Cherish the time you have with them NOW. Soon, it will be too late.

I agree. When I went to grad school I had one thing that was a must; that I complete my MBA in three years (rather than four) so that I could start coaching my oldest in T-ball when he was 4. That was my motivation - work full time, go to school in the evenings -- but make sure I would be there for my kids as they really started to need me.
I have always been happy with that decision.
My odest son still lives with me (and my new wife) as he attends law school locally. My middle son recently moved to the east coast to attend law school (boy, do i miss him). My daughter, well, I have not seen her in over a year (a casualty of the divorce, but I still remain hopeful).
Investing time in your familiy is ALWAYS the best choice, to the extent possible - and given financial concerns.

A man was sleeping one night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and God appeared.
The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to Push against the rock with all his might...
So, this the man did, day after day. For many years he toiled from sunup to sundown, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all his might! Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain. Since the man was showing discouragement, the adversary (Satan) decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the weary mind: (He will do it every time)! You have been pushing against
that rock for a long time and it hasn't moved.' Thus, he gave the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man.
Satan said, 'Why kill yourself over this? Just put in your time, giving just the minimum effort; and that will be good enough.' That's what the weary man planned to do, but decided to make it a matter of Prayer and to take his troubled thoughts to the Lord. 'Lord,' he said, 'I have labored long and hard in Your Service, putting all my strength to do that which You have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter. What is wrong? Why am I failing?'
The Lord responded compassionately, 'My friend, when I asked you to serve Me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all of your strength, which you have done. Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push. And now you come to Me with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed.. But, is that really so? Look at yourself.. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back shiny and brown; your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much, and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have.
True, you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be Obedient and to push and to exercise your Faith and trust in My Wisdom. That you have done. Now I, my friend, will move the rock.'
At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He Wants, when actually what God wants is just simple obedience and faith in Him..
By all means, exercise the Faith that moves mountains, but know that it is still God Who moves the Mountains.

Hey guys,
Have a short encouraging testimony to share with you all that are exciting, it is quite shocking to say the least...
We just had a phone call today from India with a testimony shared by one of my family's friends, it was a testimony about some folks who were Preaching to hindu's and had a clash with some extremists, about 100 of them or so, these Christians were beheaded....Whats interesting is, angels were said to have appeared just after they had their heads severed and miraculously restored them to the bodys of the dead Christians, they were transported into the midst of those radical hindu folks who beheaded them, they were shocked as they said ... What kind of God is this that brings the dead back to life? After that event approximately 90% or so of those radical folks from that one incident gave their lives to Jesus and got saved that day. This has been verified, I beleive the event took place in Gujarat, in an area called Bhuj, in India.
If i get any more details or updates on this story I shall keep you guys posted. Please be encouraged and blessed as you read this. We ARE in the last days, and Jesus is still alive and working miracles in the lives of people today, just like this story. God bless you guys!

We just had a phone call today from India with a testimony shared by one of my family's friends, it was a testimony about some folks who were Preaching to hindu's and had a clash with some extremists, about 100 of them or so, these Christians were beheaded....Whats interesting is, angels were said to have appeared just after they had their heads severed and miraculously restored them to the bodys of the dead Christians, they were transported into the midst of those radical hindu folks who beheaded them, they were shocked as they said ... What kind of God is this that brings the dead back to life? After that event approximately 90% or so of those radical folks from that one incident gave their lives to Jesus and got saved that day. This has been verified, I beleive the event took place in Gujarat, in an area called Bhuj, in India.
If i get any more details or updates on this story I shall keep you guys posted. Please be encouraged and blessed as you read this. We ARE in the last days, and Jesus is still alive and working miracles in the lives of people today, just like this story. God bless you guys!
Very interested in more details regarding this WF. While there is a global movement aimed at destroying everyone of God's children including non-Christians, there is a movement countering that force which is spreading the Gospel, and lighting the way for many.
King David under inspiration of the Holy Spirit accurately wrote "Thy word is a Lamp unto my feet, and a Light unto my path".

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

I have a prayer request. My final custody hearing to gain (hopefully) custody of my 5 year old son is tomorrow. Its been a very long and hard road to get here, and I hope and pray that the judge sides with me as it is in the best interest of my son to be with me. I also want to say thank you to Dr. D who has gone out of his way to help me out and listen to what I've been going through the past 3 years with this. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow.

Just prayed for you Tatoopierced, and I amsure you have everything to prove that your son is better off with you vs his bio-mom. That is what the judge will be looking at. I prayed that God be judging in this matter and to make the way straight as your son is at the center of this, and he needs to be with his father who loves him.
Read Psalms 91, it is one of my favorite passages because it illustrates how fragile we are, and how mighty God is, and how He will protect us.
I would place a passage there, but the whole thing just speaks volumes to our situations, my favorite verse is where God tells us:
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
Will be praying for you throughout the day and tomorrow as well.
God Bless!
