Christian Prayer Room

[tenac]

Last night when i came out of church...the mountains were calling my name and sense i had thought that might happen...my Harley Davidson was sitting there in the parking lot waiting for me..so..i saddled up and headed towards Greystone and Camp Creek to ride the foot of the mountain down to the Asheville highway under that awesome star lite winter sky. Headed toward South Greene..Cedar Creek..St James..Caney Branch and back to Greeneville. Now ive said here before...when im on the scooter...ive got the rock n roll cranked up...and...in the right kind of way...the old Rick Sane can kinda sorta come to the surface...and in those times i can...if you will...flashback to times of yesterday when i lived a helter-skelter life that would totally freak most of you out. So last night as it would happen...as i was riding thru St James..AC/DC.."Highway to Hell" came on. And i was cruising thru St James maybe just a little faster than most would be comfortable with..as my mind journeyed back to those days of old and a few memories were coming to my mind...memories that included a good friend that i grew up with and use to share a magic carpet..died this past week end. So as im listening to AC/DC.."Highway to Hell"...im thinking about how for 40 years i traveled that Highway to Hell...putting enough booze and drugs in me for 25 years to kill most folks...and did more stupid things than i could ever remember thinking that i was indestructible...and all along i knew about Hell and if i died thats where i would go and yet...i rode that highway to hell running from God just as fast as i could go...but guess what...God never gave up on me. i can only imagine how many times i laid on that thin line of life and death and over and over again God spared my life. So im here to tell you this morning..that same God loves you with a love that is indescribable...with a love that is joy unspeakable and full of glory. And it dont matter what you have done in your past...no matter how bad or worthless you may feel...i can guarantee you this...if you will get down on your knees and cry out to Jesus and ask Him for forgiveness of your sin filled past...not only will God forgive you...He will also forget all the bad and evil and wickedness you have lived up to this moment in time..hear this...if God saved me and changed me from the person that i use to be..have no doubts..He can change anyone...im living proof!..And the awesome part..just as the song was ending and i was slowing down to get on the Newport Highway in Caney Branch...over in the field was a big cross all lite up reminding me that i no longer travel that wide Highway to Hell...im on that narrow path to Heaven!..in the picture..i still look a little rough on the surface..but on the inside the Holy Spirit is rockin!...Thats the difference!

I Have No Regrets About My Past...My Past Is Who I Am Today...Born Again!
