I took Tyle Christmas shopping last night

We went to the local Wal-Mart and fought the

crowds and line-ups for 6 and half minutes.

Tyler quickly picked up four gifts for a total of $31.00

Once back in the truck he sat back in his seat

and said "Sure glad that's over with for another year!"

Do you know where you will spend eternity?

Recently we spent a day at the Agribition in Regina
at the Fellowship of Christian Farmers booth.
Yes, we are farmers of a sort...we were planting
gospel seeds!
What an incredible experience!
People are lost, confused, searching.
It was the BUSIEST booth at the show!

10 out of every 10 people die
and have to face God, our Holy Creator and
Righteous Judge.
If you were to die today...are you SURE
where you will spend eternity?

We shared the gospel with every person
who came to receive a walking stick.
Each stick has 5 beads attached...

GOLD: Represents heaven, the home of
God, our Holy Creator and Rightous Judge.
He created us to be with Him, but...
BLACK: Ever since Adam and Eve,
mankind has been born separated from God
because ALL have sinned and broken God's Law
and the payment for sin is death - separation from God - Hell

RED: Because God is also loving, He had
a plan to save us! He sent His perfect Son, Jesus, to
take our place. He died for our sins.

He paid our debt! He rose again and
is with His Father in heaven. We need to
believe and repent of our sins - that means to
turn away from doing things our way and
instead, follow God's ways.

WHITE: When we ask forgiveness and
turn from our sin, God sees us just
as He sees His own Son - we are washed clean...
the Bible says whiter than snow!

GREEN: represents growth. When
we choose to give our lives to Christ, we
need to build a relationship with Him through
daily prayer and reading God's Word, the Bible.

HAVE YOU DECIDED WHAT YOU WILL DO
WITH JESUS. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth
and the life. No man comes to the Father but

by me." There is NO OTHER WAY.
This is the most important decision you will ever make!

Body For Life

This picture was taken seven years ago!!!

For two years in a row I did the Body For Life Program

http://bodyforlife.com/

It's basically 12 weeks of torture but the results are

worth every drop of sweat and pain.

So on October 27th I started back in the gym

after being out for over a year and half since

I quit policing.

No more McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza

Chips and most of all Dr. Pepper

I look forward to Cottage Cheese and Pure Green Tea :(

Road Side Assistance

Would this be covered by House Insurance or

Auto Insurance?

Judy is 40

Isaiah 40:12

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket
or weighed the mountains on the scales,
and the hills in a balance?

BUSY

Satan's Meeting

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said, "We can't keep Christians from going to church." "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth." "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Savior." "Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, but steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ." "This is what I want you to do", said the devil. "Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted. "Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow. Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice." "Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive...to keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly. This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ." "Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers. Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day. Invade their driving moments with billboards. Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night. Give them headaches too! If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere." "That will fragment their families quickly!" "Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas. Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death." "Even in their recreation, let them be excessive...have them return from their recreation exhausted. Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!" "And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences." "Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause." "It will work!" "It will work!" It was quite a plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there. Having little time for their God or their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives. I guess the question is, has the devil been successful at his scheme?
You be the judge! Does "busy" mean:
B-eingU-nderS-atan'sY-oke?
