Psalm 23:4
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me, Your rod and staff, they comfort me"

Back several years when I had open heart surgery and complications set in and I was like on the fence and could easily slip of into eternity or fall the other way back into life.....now listen, I am in a coma, but as I lay there up in the air as if on the ceiling, going around & around, like the ticker on a TV screen, was the Lord's Prayer, and every now and then coming from left to right came this Bible verse----I don't know and I do not understand to this day, but when I came out of my coma the 1st thing I did was tell my wife this experience, then I told this to each of my 3 kids, one on one...Now every morning when starting my Bible reading & my coffee time with God (chatting with God/my prayer time) I read Matthew 6: 8-13 and Psalm 23--"every day"----My friends, GOD IS THERE, all one needs to do is reach out and take hold. Years past I was invited to speak at various churches and a thing which I liked share is ---" if you are out walking in the country side or up in the mountains with a friend and he falls into quick sand pit and is quickly sinking, you look for a stick of some sort of device to save your friend, you find a suitable device and toss it to your friend, IF he takes hold he is saved, but if he refuses he dies----we are like that sinking person, God has His hand always stretched out, if we take hold, we are saved, if we don't take His hand we die in our sins." Simple as all that. Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is ourselves, just the other day I was talking with a person, I had the opportunity to share the Bible about the one of the thieves on the cross when Jesus was crucified he said "Lord remember me when You come into your kingdom.." And Jesus said to him, "assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."-----Please note, this guy never going a church, never gave money to the church, he was never baptized, he didn't feed the poor & homeless-----he just expressed his faith in Jesus and belief that the soul lives on after death......Like the sinking friend, God's hand is always reaching out, take hold or sink.......God bless & have a good weekend...Liberty will sound around 4 pm
