    Yeah, Jack died about a year ago. Walking Bible they called him. I use to watch them all the time. They got into the "Once saved always saved" deal in this one. That topic always gets me. Born-Again usually is never considered in that talk. The "if they are truly saved" does. But what always gets me is they don't bring out God's awesome power and love. Like He can't humble someone. He did David and he was under "The Law". He sure did Paul. My experience I know the Holy Spirit sure kept after me. I realize the danger of the saying.

    Also everyone's conversion is different as well. Jack talked about chastisement and that is a fact, that's the Rock. On Calvary one man confess Him, (that's all he did) one man did not, we know he was saved. If you have confessed Him and before men. He is not going stop motivating one to get them where He wants them to be. When your back sliding that conviction never stops. Jack was also right on, there's things you got to do. Them things I believe get you to being Born-Again. Christians really don't do a good job with new believers. By not telling them what just happened and the things they need to know and do. I've never heard a Pastor ever preach on that either.

    It's said that Jack had the entire NT memorized. You could give him the reference number and he would quote the verse as well as the verses before and after. Walking Bible, indeed.

    I call him my Nephew (my Sister's ex-husbands son). He claims I really influenced him when he was young and watching me play and sing. Then he got himself a guitar and found an escape and a passion. He's living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Just found him today on my feed doing a tune. Been 6 years since I talked to him.

    Last time was when I was living at my Sisters place. Talk about making a guy smile, then I clicked on it and he just blew my mind with his songwriting and singing. I listened to all he has on his channel. His lyric structure in his songs just blew me away. I mean well crafted in all the means of the art.

    Chapter 12 ~ Some thing I sent my Kids in a group Messenger off Facebook

    It's Resurrection week! 2004 after the Passion movie on Resurrection Sunday I repented and got right with the Lord. The way things are going in the world. As the Church feels the end is close at hand. That "we fly away moment" also known as "The Rapture". With this being Resurrection Sunday where we celebrate The Lord's rising from the grave. Now just follow this thought I have here. The Church body worshipping the LORD and the call for folks to repent of their sins. Then somewhere in that time the Saints would be called up. The Rapture happens. The Word says in these last days that God would pour His Spirit out in the last days. Wouldn't that be something awesome! Glory to the Father!

    In Kroger's today I pulled in the parking lot and seen a horse & buggy. I sent up a quick prayer to the Lord to make it possible that I talk to the man who owns that buggy. Because it says in Revelation to see what Spirit is saying to the Churches. I had a question I wanted to ask that man concerning that. So long story short I got to ask Him. Praise Jesus. I asked about that calling the Church up moment. He said "yes we believe that the time seems to be very close". Your not going to find a more righteous man/lady in God than an Amish person. They walk it out Right.

    No matter what kids if you feel that call to go to Church this weekend. No matter what your dealing with or where you are at in things. Don't let that arrow from hell try to keep you from going to Church this Sunday. Press on thru and go! I know in the eyes of my heart God has something special for you! I'll be at 4 Square Church on 9th street where my journey began. Join me there! ❤❤❤ I love all of you so much. I only want good and blessings for your lives. I interceded for all of you feverously always. ❤❤❤ (Meg only one post here, snicker.)

    Now the rest of the story, Paul Harvey thing there.

    I had a nice conversation with the man. I gave him a short witness about my walk. Then told him about the two men who discipled me that were a branch off of their community. I one time mention the Rapture and he did not respond and then I said that's what we call it, but it's meant to what the Word says that we will fly away. Then we were on the same track.

    I got a bit into "The Word of Faith" kind of things, using things from the scriptures about not being part of this world. We talked about Heaven and what we can't even imagine what it is going to be like and he could not see me smiling, but I could see the joy of the Lord in him. But it was just one of them Heaven coming down moments.

    I told him thank you sir for your time and I turned to leave and he said God bless you and I said thank you and headed for the check out. I was thanking the Lord and giving Him praise for that moment to bring Him glory. I was just bubbly with joy the whole time talking to him.
