Chris, I know Mick's in the editing process right now. Mick and I will definitely be in touch with you when it's up and ready. It's funny you mention the web series thing, he's thinking about that too.
Thank you so much for being our friend! You have a very cool page here. Let's not be strangers.Take care and have a nice day! Cheers....................................
Thank-you for allowing us on your network. Come check out the song we wrote for KANYE called, BLACK UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT click on lyrics and read along. Let us know what you think. David Zabalza & David Kirkendall of the group BLACK UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT®
Your accomplishments are amazing! It shows you are determined, driven and destined for greatness. Thank you so much for your request, glad to be in your circle of friends.
Hi, I'm back... LOL! I'm truly blessed to have you in my life Chris... I just want to take this time to let you know I appreciate you! *smile*
It seems a lot of us are going through or have someone close to us going through... If not now.... you will.... There's a song that comes to mind... "Must Jesus bare the cross alone and all the world go free? NO! There's a cross for everyone & there's a cross for me..."
Psalms 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all....This is a blessed assurance!
Heres some encouragement... *smile*
We serve the God who designed the universe and set our world in motion. But those hands that hung the stars in the heavens also wiped away the tears of the widow and the leper. And they have/will wipe away your tears as well.
There has never been a time in the history of the world when there was not a rain cloud somewhere on the face of the earth. There may be blue skies for us occasionally, but the rain always comes. So, instead of looking for ways to escape problems....look for methods to face them head on. Remember trials come to make you strong....*smile*
Father, you are God and Creator, but we come to you as children coming to their father, as children who would ask there father to hold and comfort them, waiting & trusting in you for strength & wisdom....
As you stilled the storm on the Sea of Galilee, please still the storms that rage within our hearts? We know you will calm the whiling winds of fear and hurt that threaten out faith... Thank you Father for using these situations to draw us closer to you! *smile*
Hey Thanks for the add!!! Click the link to listen to the audio of "The Strangest Secret" whenever you have an extra hour to spare.... Its must and will change your life if you let it... If not...check out my page, and I pretty much sumarize it!
"No man can get rich himself unless he enriches others."
Oh yea... if you wanna learn the Hard facts and Blunt, Honest Truth about the Home Business Industry...I strongly urge you to...get YOUR OWN Copy of the E-Book Everyones talking about, "It's Only Easy If You Know The Truth", a $40 Value, for FREE at my website, www. EarnMoneySleeping. com
Well Happy Black History month & Happy Valentines Day Chris... *smile* It's a month of love all the way round... well for me anyway, LOL!
There is no greater love than Jesus giving His life for us... so why not give you life back to Him, as an ultimate gesture of your love ... *smile*
Romans 12:1-21
God desires us to surrender every part of our lives to Him. Would you buy a house if you were only allowed to see one room? Would you purchase a car ti you were only permitted to see the tail lights? Would you judge a book after only reading one paragraph? No, me neither... *smile*
Good judgement requires a broad picture. Not only is that true in purchasing houses, cars & book, it's true in living life... One failure doesn't make a person a failure; one achievement doesn't make a person a success.
The end of the matter is better than it's beginning... Be patient in afflictions... I know it easier said than done, but it can be done... *smile*
Life's mishaps and tragedies are only a page out of a great big book. We have to be slow bout drawing conclusions. We must reserve judging our life's storms until we know the whole story...
"Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself" God is the Author of our story. And He had already written the final chapter...
As a safety net, memorize Romans 12:1-2 Whenever you feel tempted, repeat theses verses in your mind & by God's power plan NOT to sin...LOL!
~MUCH LOVE~ Until next time...tah...tah... *smile*
