Just found this out about VP choice!!!!!

This is from a blog written by Doug Wead.

What is Sarah Palin’s religion and why does it matter?
What is Sarah Palin’s Religion?

She is Assemblies of God.

Ted Boatsman, the former Alaskan District Superintendent for the Assemblies of God, was her junior high pastor at Wasilla Assemblies of God Church. She is currently attending Juneau Christian Center whose pastor is pastor is Mike Rose.

In high school she was the local leader of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

McCain does more than balance the ticket with a woman. He solves his complicated religious problem with Pentecostals, who according to a recent Barna survey make up almost half of all born again Christians. McCain’s on again off again relationships with John Hagee and Rod Parsley, as well as the ill timed Charles Grassley attack on six Pentecostal television ministries are now moot points.

But wait until MSNBC find out. Expect all hell to break loose. She will be portrayed as a pro creationist - Neanderthal. Just wait. And, as well intentioned as they will be, thinking that they are doing Obama a good deed, it will drive the Evangelicals into the McCain camp. All of Senator Obama’s kind overtures to people of faith will be for naught.

This is turning out to be a better choice than I thought.

Finally some real HOPE and CHANGE!!!!!!!!!

If your tired of the poltics already this election season, today should have excited you! We got the VP pick for John McCain is Sarah Palin the governor of Alaska. This is real hope and real change. I know many may not like the idea of a woman on the ticket, who could have the potential of being president. I am not bothered by the fact that she is a woman. I am very please with her conservative pro-life values. This lady may be the change and the hope that the GOP really needs.

We still need to pray for this country and this election, for it has the potential of being the crazy election ever.

Done some work on the website

I haven't done much on personal website in a long time. So recently I did a little work on it. You can read Paula's article that was printed in the Evangel and view some music videos of me and Richard singing. Click Here to Vist the Site

Prayers Answered and more prayer requests

Just like the heading says, this blog about answered prayer and new prayer requested.
God always hears our prayers and in my last post I told of how our church was growing. Well it looks like we may have a church to worsjip in. We will be using another church's facilities on Sunday and Thursday night. I'll post more later on the actual building, dates, and times. So one prayer answered.

Now a new prayer request. My mom is having severe pain in her left arm. She broke it about 30 years ago with a bad open fracture. She had surgery bak then. She just found out that there is some deformity in her arm and that is what causing the pain. She's worried about what they might have to do to try and fix the problem. She also has severe arthritis. So please keep her in your prayers.

What's Happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are seeing great things happen at our church. We have had 14 saved this month, and last night we had almost sixty people and some of our regulars weren't there.
It is really exciting to see what God is doing. We also got word yesterday, we will be using a local COG to hold our services. Please keep us in your prayers as our church goest throught these changes.

Obama picks Biden

I think this campaign add sums it all up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Good Day

Well, the kids went back to school today. They all did great. There was no tears from anyone including Paua. Paula and I went to the Sandford house in Covington (one of the oldest houses in COV). She took some great pics. I was really surprised to see such a beautiful house on Russel Street in Covington. I upload a pic later.

Paula is really getting into this photography. I'm glad to see her really take interest in something and go with it. It gives her something to do.

We haven't heard anymore on Paula's heart, but she has been doing great lately.

We should find out this weekend who Obama's VP will be. We will find out next week who Mcain's VP will be. I pray that Mcain doesn't pull a stupid mistake, and pick someone pro-choice. Mcain is up about 5 points in the poll. That is a good thing. I think the Saddleback church forum really help shape voters ideas.

I'll add more later,

Steve

Special Request

I love my church. It has really given me some new vitality, which I needed. I have been more energized and excited to see what God is doing. We have seen 7 saved this month. We are growing by leaps and bounds. This is my prayer, we have outgrown the present facilities. We are meeting in the basement of the pastor's parents house. We love the small church feel and hospitality shown to us. Yet, we can't continue to grow in this present location. So to all my friends, please pray God opens the right door.

Thanks,

Steve

Saddleback Forum

Most of you know I am an avid republican and this presidental election season is really distressing. However, there was a ray of hope Saturday night at the forum at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church. Most know that Rick Warren wrote the best selling The Purpose Driven Life. I may be one of the few who have never read his book. However what he did in this campaign was so refreshing and enlighting. In my book there was another side showed of the Maverick John Mcain. He was honest, softer Mcain. This was good to see. Obama talked more in circles, like always. He was not straight forward with his answers. He was more worried with how every one would look at him if he told his views. If Mcain keeps showing himself like he did on this forum, he may prove to be the next president. Let's just pray he picks a conserative VP.

More Later,
Steve

Another New Week

This week the kids are going back to school WED!
I will once again find some greatly needed time of peace and quite, while they are gone. Hopefully some time to study and pray like a need too.

Paula is picture crazy. That's all shes does in her free time is snap another pic.

Good service last night at church we had 3 get saved.

Well more later,
Steve

Whats Happening!!!!

Well there has been a lot going on this week. Pastor Wayne is on vacation, and I preached both services Sunday. We had wonderful services and 2 were saved on Sunday night.

Our denomination is holding in General Assembly in San Antonio. There are some real changes coming to the COG, please pray for these men who are on the general council.

Jerrie is doing good. She came last night and picked up Robert. He will be staying with her for a few days. We swapped kids, we have Tina. Jerrie called this evening and said she went to church tonight. I can't tell you how happy this makes me.

Please continue to remember Paula and Isaiah in your prayers for there complete healing.

I got word yesterday the lead singer for Compassion, Mike Richards, wife seems to have ALS a form of MD. Please pray for this family because they also have some children with special needs.

It's late and I'm getting tried more later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great things are happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just got news last night that my sister-n-law Jerrie gave her life to the Lord. This has been a prayer for many years. I want to thank my God for what he is doing. Jerrie lost her son Kristopher in a house fire several years ago, and has been living with the grief and pain of this. When I spoke to her, she said it seemed like all the pain was gone and the weight had been lifted off of her. I'm telling you don't ever give up on praying for your love ones. God will save them. I ask for you to continue remembering her in your prayers along with her husband, Andrew and daughter Tina.

Tommorow is church, and Wayne is on vacation so I am preaching both services. I will give an update tommorow. God Bless,

Steve
