I am sick of our leaders

What the heck is going on with our beloved leaders these days. I am sickened by the lack of Integrity not only with our politicians but with some of our church leaders. Just this month a pastor of a very large congregation a person that I once respected was caught in several adulteress relationships. A girl that attends a bible study told the group that she was molested by her pastor. And know this Governor of New York, caught with prostitutes. He should be forced to resign!!! We will be held accountable for these leaders we put into office. What is this nation of ours coming to. Right now I am mad as Hell !!! and you should be as well. America go back to what made you great. Repent from your sins. Church will you please wake up and see what is going on get out of your comfort zone.
if you are a church leader with gross sin in your life repent or step aside. I would love to hear some responses from you.. God raise up a generation of young people who seek you with all of there hearts.

If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, you know the rest.

God is good all the time

Well my last blog I talked about losing a major account in my business. Well today I picked up a brand new account that is almost as good as the one I lost. That's good news. On a different note Barren Cross will play a show in Norway. Please pray for us as we travel and play the show. We need Gods help, and believe me when He helps everything changes.

Where is God when it hurts

Many of you know that I have been a business owner for the past fifteen years. I have had good and bad seasons. The beginning of this year was shaping up to be a good one. Then came June July and August. These months are traditionally a very busy time, well not this year. My wife Lisa and I would get to the last few days of the month and we would wonder how we would make ends meet. Every month we just would squeak by. God has shown Himself faithful. Anyway last night I found out that we had lost our number one account. We had been doing business with this Restaurant for eight years. What a blow!!! I worked so hard to please the managers, to work as unto the Lord, I gave them my very best, and pouf just like that they hired another company to take my place. It really hurt. So I had to ask the Lord why? His ways are higher than mine. I am still reeling from this whole experience. Please pray for me that I would have the insight I need to move on. I will let you know what happens next time.

Enjoying my family on Vacation

Lisa I and the boys are enjoying a week together at Dolphin Island. It is the southern most point of Alabama. When you think of Alabama you never think of beautiful beachs, incredable sunrises and great sea food. When I used to think of Alabama I thought, Forest Gump!!! I have been spending alot of time with my boys getting to know them better. Its has been a nice break from the demands of my business.

Festival In Mexico

I just returned from a trip to Mexico City. Pastor Miguel invited me to speak to the people attending the Exodo festival. The festival is actually three hours outside the city in some of the most breathtaking country side anywhere. The people of Pastor Miguel's church were amazing. The way they worked together to put on this event. They all just had such a singleness of mind in there mission. I got a chance to get to know Marco, one of Pastor Miguel's leaders. He inspired me in his servants heart and his passion for the great commission. On Friday I spoke three times, the tent was full of people hungry for Gods word. I also got to know the guys in the band Rivera Bomma. They put on a great show. We stayed up all night laughing and talking. Pastor Bob told me that I would fall in love with the people, he was right. Next week I will meet up with Pastor Bob at the Elements of Rock festival. I will keep you posted.
