Return of the Neuroticflyfisherman

I haven’t taken many pictures of me this past year, so here’s one for the books. Thought I’d shoot one since I’m all dressed up and stuff to go out!

I’m so in awe of God! He is powerful, perfectly perfect, presenting His presence personally in a pronounced way to me! I sit in His lap and He sings songs of love, I stand by His side and He dances with me, I walk with Him and He skips alongside me. He thinks of me while I’m sleeping, prays for me always at the Father’s side living for that! He is preparing a mansion for me now and showing me where He’s moving inside my life also now. He is the great ‘I Am’, the start and finish line, the truth, the way, and the life. He’s gentle and strong, wise and faithful, just and compassionate. He never leaves my side, never abandons, never lies and always provides what’s best. He’s the gift giver, the heart changer, the fine wine maker, the miracle waker, and hate taker. He forgives freely, loves dearly, and humbly resides yearly. He watches, waits, gives and takes. He’s not recognizable, but always visible in the hidden mystery of His Spirit inside me. He loves my soul and makes me whole. He takes what is broken and restores it, He redeems what is lost, He mends, He cares, He offers, He’s constant, continuing, confident, curious, content, cleaning me from the inside out. He is my Savior, My Rock, My Fortress, My Provider, My Love, My God, My all. He’s Jesus. Have you met Him? He’s my friend. Come meet Him, I’ll show you! His Name is the Name above all Names! The only Name by which man may be saved. There’s power in His Name! Power in His Blood! Power in His Spirit! Power in His Love! Jesus is coming back and I will see Him face to face. Jesus loves all who call on Him! Will you call on Him today? Call collect, He don’t care! He’s Jesus! Jesus is perfect, present, precise, pertinent, prominent, and prosperous! He’s everlasting, ever-present, ever here, ever there, and everywhere! He’s infectious, infallible, invaluable, inevitable, interesting, and insatiable! He is the same yesterday, today and forever! He walks on water, heals the sick, calms the storms, feeds the poor. He walks the walk and talks His talk. His Word is life, His life is the Word. You can’t figure Him out, pin Him down, or put Him away. He’s here to stay! We placed our calender’s around His birth and await His return. He’s satisfying, death defying, and never hiding. He greater than the greatest, bigger than the biggest, smarter than the smartest, faster than the fastest, and brighter than the brightest. He holds all things together. He’s completely complete! Jesus is Jesus, the God-Man, Son of God, Man of God, God’s own Son, and God alone! He’s Awesome! Oh how He loves me!!! And He allows me to worship Him!! Man, Jesus rocks as the main Rock on which I stand! He’s a solid foundation. He is everything from all things! Eternal! He’s too much for words to describe. He is Jesus. period.

Well of course I’m gonna take a picture of the huge trout! LOL!! This town sure is a fun place to visit. Check out more here! (Bridgeport)

There are some things in life that we only get to visit once and a great while. Some things have always been around but keep getting passed by and barely noticed. True love can be like that too. It can be right under your nose, but by the time you notice it, it is gone. I like some things and seem to notice them. I like the comfort of older things too like this old truck.

It has been used and is well worn, but here it sits in an old field just waiting to be noticed as if to say, “will you pass me by? or come enjoy my worn weathered leather, my personality is unique, I’m a worker, and I have proven faithful. Come sit with me and laugh and talk about the good ‘ol days. Can I take you somewhere? I hope you aren’t in a hurry to get anywhere soon, but if you want to enjoy the ride, I’m here for you!”

Some things should get noticed… because one day they may not be around.

I walked by the River and began to sense His beauty. This led me to stand by Him and as I gazed at Him I heard a whisper. When I knelt beside Him He spoke softly and clearly. “I love you.” And I looked the River in the eye and His love began to fill me. And now I walk with Him…In His presence… with my rod in hand… and…He speaks clearly and purely as His Holy love flows into my soul…

I had fun this beautiful Saturday taking pictures at Cornerstone Fellowship’s Rimz & Ribz Car show today. It’s hard to believe how far they have come from the very first show when I took first prize with my ‘59 Chevy Pickup. The food was grubbin’, the people were friendly, the music rocked and the mood was fantastic! I love the fact that my church knows not only how to serve the community and abroad, but also take time to have fun! God bless and don’t miss this next year!

Honey likes to collect rocks from the bottom of the lake, river, creek or whatever body of water she comes in contact with. She blows bubbles and can hold her breath under water for long periods of time to find that “perfect” rock! ha! God bless,
