When I get on these kind of things, God usually clears it up for me after I've chewed it to pieces.
As for now I'm a bit confused, and maybe some disappointment too. Oh well, its not my first time to come to a rough spot in the road, and it won't be my last.
I know I have some rebel in me. Its the way I grew up. I don't know if I'll ever get rid of all of it, but I want to. and do try to. I know we are not to be of this world, and all is in Gods time, but I live in this world and admit that I can't escape it, so I try to fight it and oppose it.Yes I'm carnal and am always fighting the beast, but I never give up the fight.
I hated my stepfather with a passion. He use to make me go out on the street and fight the biggest school bully, and sometimes 2 or three of them. He would threaten to beat me within an inch of my life if I didn't get out there and fight. He meant what he said. Many times I couldn't walk for a week because of the damage he did to me, so I would go out and fight with all I had in me, and I was a runt way smaller than anyone, but I beat those bullys up every single time because I had a reason to fight. Well the fight is still in me but not like that. You get my point. Only God can fix me. I can't do it. I also believe in watching a brothers back, being there for him.
OK, so you think I'm messed up. Well I know I am but really who isn't?
Thanks again.
Roy

1 Cor 9:25-27 Everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified [NKJV]
1 Tim 6:10-12 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Keep the faith Roy,
Marques
Roy Martin:
Thanks Marques.
Keeping the faith.
In time you will see that I'm not afraid of falling, nor am I afraid of getting back up.
I don't know you personally, but in a heart beat I would be there to defend you, watch your back as the term I grew up with. I would give you my last dollar and give you the shirt off my back. I only weigh 140 so the shirt might not fit, but I would give it to you.Why would I do that? Its just the way I am. You are my brother in Christ, so I don't feel like I have but one choice, and that is to do what is the honorable thing to do. This might be a carnal thing, I don't know. I would also do this for a complete stranger if it was in my heart. A little story if no one minds. I was sitting in my car at my dads house years ago when this guy at least 6-7 feet tall came out of his house cussing at his wife, and this little puppy walked up to him. He picked up the puppy and started beating it. I came out of my car with fire in my eyes, yelled at the guy as I approached him saying beat on me like that, and a few not to mention angry words. He saw no fear in my eyes as I was going to beat the heck out of this guy. To my surprise he turned to run into his house yelling something at me. Just as he slammed the door I hit the door with both feet knocking it open just in time to see him going out the back door running down the street. Oh I was so darn mad and really wanted to do some damage to him, but man this guy could run with that 6-7 foot tall body and legs. I went straight through his house and out the back door. He was gone out of sight.
OK! enough of that story, but the point is I stand up for what is right, and can't keep from defending someone or something in need whether it be physical, spiritual, or just moral support.
Peace
Roy

Roy that just made me laugh!! I have always thought you remind me of my dad!! haha!! My dad was a man of small stature but a HUGE heart!! He was maybe 5'4 and if he was all wet he may have weighed 130 pounds!! But he was NOT afraid of anything! One time there was a bull in his pen of cows..(He was a dairy farmer) and that bull tried to get him every time he went into the pen, so one day my dad had had enough and he took a big ole syringe with him to the pen and when the bull came at him he just jammed that needle into the bull's neck and gave him a nice shot of air and the bull died instantly!! No one ever messed with my dad! hahaha!! I never saw him ever be mean to an animal except for that! I got my dad's size, but NOT his nerve!! :D We gotta be there for each other, dude! and that's the truth! I'm not very scrappy, but I like to give hugs, that's my way of helping out!! :D :D :D
Kathy ;) :-*
