Complete In Thee

Well, it has been 7 months since my last post. If any one ever looks at this Blog again I'll be surprised.

This song is excellent, heavenly! It beats any rock or rap crap that ever was, is or will be, even if it has the label "Christian" attached to it. Please listen to the words carefully.

The Most Advanced Book Ever

The word of God (AV 1611 King James Bible) has, is and always will be more scientific, factual, historical and true than any professor of science, history, math or social science will ever be or even hope to become.

This is what the Bible has to say about light coming from some one's face.

Ex. 34:29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.

Ex. 34:30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

Ex. 34:35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

Job 29:24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.

Ps. 4:6 ¶ There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

Ps. 44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

Ps. 89:15 ¶ Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

Ps. 90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

Prov. 16:15 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

Acts 6:15 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

The oldest reference given is 3,000 or more years old. Now here is what some "educated" people have "finally" come up with using modern technology. This article came from my Yahoo home page.


Strange! Humans Glow in Visible Light

The human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day, scientists now reveal.

Past research has shown that the body emits visible light, 1,000 times less intense than the levels to which our naked eyes are sensitive. In fact, virtually all living creatures emit very weak light, which is thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals.

(This visible light differs from the infrared radiation - an invisible form of light - that comes from body heat.)

To learn more about this faint visible light, scientists in Japan employed extraordinarily sensitive cameras capable of detecting single photons. Five healthy male volunteers in their 20s were placed bare-chested in front of the cameras in complete darkness in light-tight rooms for 20 minutes every three hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. for three days.

The researchers found the body glow rose and fell over the day, with its lowest point at 10 a.m. and its peak at 4 p.m., dropping gradually after that. These findings suggest there is light emission linked to our body clocks, most likely due to how our metabolic rhythms fluctuate over the course of the day.

Faces glowed more than the rest of the body. This might be because faces are more tanned than the rest of the body, since they get more exposure to sunlight - the pigment behind skin color, melanin, has fluorescent components that could enhance the body's miniscule light production.

Since this faint light is linked with the body's metabolism, this finding suggests cameras that can spot the weak emissions could help spot medical conditions, said researcher Hitoshi Okamura, a circadian biologist at Kyoto University in Japan.

"If you can see the glimmer from the body's surface, you could see the whole body condition," said researcher Masaki Kobayashi, a biomedical photonics specialist at the Tohoku Institute of Technology in Sendai, Japan.

The scientists detailed their findings online July 16 in the journal PLoS ONE.

Free Time

The Lord has allowed me enjoy several days off in a row from being at the Boys Home. One reason for this is because I had to drive Ryan to Tennessee. Ryan will be visiting other family members for the next six weeks. This time of year is always very tough on my wife. The other family that Ryan has is not saved and doesn't believe the Bible. So, therefore their ethics and morals are quite different than the training that we are giving Ryan. During this time Kim and I reflect on all the mes ups we have made with training our children. All we can do now for the time being is pray for him that the Lord will have some grace and mercy, deal with Ryan's heart and convict him about the things that will come up while he is away from Church, the Bible, and home.

So, I have had some time off. Some "Free Time" as we call it at the Boys Home. I am very thankful to have it, considering the month before had left very little "Free Time" for anyone. Having SOME free time is a good thing. The last few days I have been able to do a few errands and some things around the house that I probably wouldn't have gotten done otherwise.

The Lord knows what it means to have some "Free Time". Mark 6:31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. I am fairly certain that none of the Apostles were by any means lazy. I have not know commercial fishermen to be of the lazy sort, but the Lord Jesus Christ knew when his men needed some rest. The Bible also says, in Psalm 127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. After God recreated the earth he rested on the seventh day (Gen. 2:1-3).

Too much "Free Time" is not good though. That is when you get into trouble. From what I have noticed recently, the boys that come into the Boys Home are in the trouble that they are in because (among other things) they have way too much "Free Time". If a teenager is taking drugs and abusing the use of them, he is doing it on his "Free Time". If an American teenager is getting into any major trouble a lot of the time he will be getting into that trouble during his "Free Time". Taking my own life as an example, I can say that the average American teenager has at least six hours of "Free Time" every Monday through Friday, and double (if not triple) that on the weekends. That is a bunch of "Free Time". If that teenager doesn't have any parents that will put some work ethic into him during those hours, that teenager will end up just like all that rest of the American teenage punks that are roaming our streets today.

The last few times that my pastor, Bro. Buddy has preached, he has mentioned something about "Free Time". At one point he directed a question to the staff at the Boys Home and asked, something to the affect of, "What are you doing during your free time?" Yesterday and today I have caught my self falling into the dangers of "Free Time". Sleeping in later than what I should, and giving my self to things that are of no profit and vanity are dangers in my "Free Time". Don't let your "Free Time" go unchecked or it will turn into "wasted time" and "flesh time".

Welcome Joshua Stephen

Ok, this is a long one so if you don't have time to read everything I perfectly understand. I won't get offended if all you do is look at the pictures and the video at the end.

At about 11:45 on June 9th 2009 the Lord brought Joshua Stephen Channer into the world. It is quite an amazing thing. I wonder if any atheist has ever witnessed a woman giving birth. I don't see how anyone could witness a woman giving birth and still be an atheist. How can you experience something like that, and come away thinking that you had any power at all over the whole process? At any time if that umbilical cord quit working right the child would die. "Hey mister evolution. It took you how long to come up with the umbilical cord? A billion, or two?" "Ok, so how many babies didn't make it during that time? Where are their fossils? And where are the fossils of all the other mammals that didn't make it while you were trying to figure it out with them?" Do you see how retarded the logic is of the people who subscribe to evolution. I'm glad that the evolutionist will never figure out how life happens. Praise the Lord! They will never figure out how life happens because it doesn't just "HAPPEN". It is GIVEN. Life is given to man by God. Physical life and eternal life are given by God and the Lord Jesus Christ. They will never understand because they kick God out.
Prov 1:7 ¶ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Prov 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

It was a long night. I must say though that I did get a lot more rest than my wife. I spent the rest of the night with my wife there at the hospital. Thankfully when they moved us from the delivery room to the recovery room there were two beds. I am surprised to say that the hospital bed that I slept on was a lot more comfortable than some hotel beds that I have slept on before. I slept through most of the times that the nurses came in and checked on Kim and Joshua. I can only vaguely remember one time being awakened and hearing the nurses voice. The next day though I got a full experience of playing "Mr. Mom." It is an experience that I don't want to have too often. For those of you men who think that you would like to have an at home job, don't switch roles with your wife. I now fully know what it is that my wife has to deal with on a daily basis. I'm not talking about dealing with disobedient children. I'm talking working before the children get up, and working when the children are taking a nap, and working when they have gone to bed for the night. Being a wife and mother is not for a lazy woman.

My mom and Dad came up all the way from Fort Myers. It has been a blessing to have them here for the past week. I think that Joshua will turn out more like his grandfathers. Both of his grandpas are tall. Joshua's hands and feet are huge. It is something that you just have to see. I'll probably edit this post in a couple of days and try to get a good picture of his hands and feet in relation to the rest of his body. Maybe the Lord might call him to be a preacher to the lumber jacks up north like his great, great, great uncle Al Channer as written about in the book Last of the Giants.

Ryan is happy to finally have a little brother. He even spent one night up at the hospital with him. I'm sure he would rather have a brother a bit closer to his age though. I'm sure in a few years if the Lord tarries that Ryan will be teaching Joshua how to slam dunk a basket ball and to roller skate. Before that though I'll have to make sure that Joshua doesn't pester his big brother like I did mine. I distinctly remember my brother asking Dad on several occasions if he would give my brother permission to hit me. I can't imagine why my honourable brother would ever wish to do such a thing to his ever loving little brother . I hope that you read this part Jon. Maybe it will bring conviction upon you and cause you to "repent in dust and ashes." (For those of you who don't know me and my brother very well, that was just some friendly brotherly banter.)

Christina also loves her little brother. It is amazing that she knows the difference between a baby doll and a real baby. Just about every time that she sees Joshua she greets him with the sweetest "Hi." It's funny. Kim and I were both kind of wondering how she would take to the new baby, but so far Christina loves her new brother. She has helped burp him even offered him a cookie, but he wasn't in the mood for it just then.
Another thing that is kind of funny is that when Christina is tired she will cry when Joshua cries and stops when he stops.

Children sure are a blessing. We don't deserve the ones that he has given us. I pray that the Lord will let us raise them and train them for his honour and glory.

America needs to listen to this guy.

I don't agree with this guy on everything he may believe, but what he says is true. You can find more about Dr. James Manning at Atlah.org. If you want to see the video in full view just double click on it and it should take you directly to the youtube site so you can watch it with out it being cut off.

Behold All Things New

2Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Have you ever noticed that everything is exciting to a child? Well, it is that way with my son Ryan. Every thing new is exciting to him, no matter what. From a new bicycle to a Gators hat or the smell of shoe polish to a new sewer pipe, anything that is new is exciting to him. Many times I think, “What is such the big deal.” “You just got brand new underwear. Whoop dee do!” One day I got to thinking about Ryan’s attitude in the light of 2Cor. 5:17. Would to God that every child of God had Ryan’s attitude. How many times has the Lord sent you some blessing or gift where instead of being joyous and thankful for it, you whined and complained about its possible imperfections?

Case in point: The sewer drainage pipe on our trailer tore apart. Of necessity we therefore had to purchase a “brand spanking” new one. Me, in my ever joyous attitude said, “Great, more money down the toilet.” However when I got to the store I was thankful that the Lord had given us the money to buy the pipe. I was also thankful that the pipe I bought fit the connections on the trailer. After I had connected the pipe to the trailer I was thankful that we had a means of getting rid of our pungent debris. Ryan wasn’t there when I put the pipe on, but when he got to the trailer that was the first thing he had to see. His mother and I said, “What’s the big deal its just a sewer pipe.” (My wife wouldn't let me use this picture in her Blog.)
But to Ryan it was a nice brand new shiny blue sewer pipe! How many times has the Lord given you a blessing that is designed to carry out the sin and dirt in your life? And how many times instead of being glad for the blessing, and the means of getting the sin and junk out of your life, all you can think about is the busted old pipe.

If you find yourself complaining abut the possible flaws or imperfections in the things that the Lord Jesus Christ has brought your way, then you need to return to the child like faith that you had when you got saved (Matt. 18:1-6), and behold all things new.
