All things work together for good to them that love God. Rom. 8:28. —Thoughts for the Quiet Hour

No matter how bad things get, or how bad you think it is going to turn out, if you love God it will work out for GOOD in the end… I have had many things happen in my life, the hardest one is going to where my children lived 14 years ago on Christmas morning, and finding nothing more then an empty house… WOW talk about having a bad day, I have not seen my children since, my daughter speaks to me only when she needs something… I blamed God, told God I hated him, and my life spiraled out of control to the point I was homeless living under the boardwalk…

As I slowly put my life back together with a lot of stumbling, I started to turn to God, I tried my best to not be angry about the children with him, but I was, then I started to ride for soldiers killed in action with the Patriot Guard Riders, and I felt alive for the first time in years, I started praying for the families, I cried for them, I knew that empty feeling they had, I asked for peace and God to fill their lives… I was doing better, I tried not to think of my children, and then I decided to give everything away and go for a ride on the motorcycle, I felt called by God to do this for the families… I didnt know it was for myself…

I rode for soldiers all along the east coast, and made friends with some of the families, I felt I was doing Gods work, and received many blessing and miracles while out on the road…

Looking back one of the greatest things that ever happened to me in my Christian life was God taking my children from me, not that I was a bad father, or anything like that, but it is what lead me to find the loving caring God that I serve now, that always uses everything in my life for my good, when something bad happens I try to see God working through it for me…

Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty
