NEWS FROM THE ROAD

December 2009

Well another Christmas has come and gone, but not without the joy of knowing that our dear Savior was born! How could we not celebrate the birth? I have been so saddened this season at how many have forgotten the reason of the season. While listening to the radio the other day, I was shocked to hear how many have forsaken the reason we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. It is not about the lights, or packages, but about the precious child that was born.

As me and my family entered into this joyous season, we celebrated with an even greater happiness. One that we have so much to be happy for. Not only was we thankful that for the birth of our Savior, but that he gave his life for us, redeemed us from our sins and gave us a new home in heaven. Many of you have written, called, sent emails and many of you may not know, but we have so much to be thankful for. Since the first of December, it has been a time of hardships, a time of despair, a time of helplessness, a time when all you could do but whisper "Jesus." But, it is in those times when you know, he is right there with you. When trouble and sickness hits those that you love the most, I can promise you, you find quickly who is there with you. On December 6, in Chattanooga, TN, I found out. I don't know if I have ever encountered anything as frantic in my life. I watched hopelessly as my wife dropped right before my eyes. I could do absolutely nothing for her. Kneeling beside her, scared to no end, all I could do was whisper, "Jesus." That is all that would come out of my mouth. Our ten year old son beside me, scared and yet, brave.

We had left Christmas in the Smokies, in Pigeon Forge, TN. Three wonderful days of the most fantastic concerts, chapel services, where nine people was saved on Friday morning and over 16 rededicated their lives to the lord. The devil was mad and we knew it. Old slew foot had already attacked guests of the event, but didn't win out there. Now, he was on a roll with us. He had tried to attack some of the other artist and didn't win out there and now, he was hitting us. As my wife, lay there on the floor, totally non responsive, I could not think straight, could not think of the first number to call, only "Jesus." But you know, there is no better name in heaven to call upon. He is the name above all names. Myself, another gentleman and several people around were talking with her, but she would not speak. Over fifteen minutes passed and she still was non responsive. Finally, the ambulance arrived. Everything to them appeared to look good, but they felt she needed to be checked. It turned out, she suffered from a seizure. She lost an entire week of memory. This has been very hard for her and me. We have tried to fill her in on what we can, but there is no way to replace a weeks worth of memory. Finally she gave in and said, maybe God wanted my brain to rest. But it has been difficult to see her suffer like this. I have had to be mommie, daddy, housewife, nursemaid and well, you name it. But, our vows did say, for better or worse. But, the miracle is, things are better and getting better every day. I just have to do a little more than usual and getting use to things that I am not quite use to. So, if you haven't gotten a response on something hang tight, I will get to it. But, remember one thing, never take a day for granted. It may be the only day you have. God has given us each day for a reason. They are to share the laughter, tears and heartaches with those you love. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today, tomorrow may never come. And remember, "This is the day that the lord hath made. "Let us rejoice and be glad in it."
