I PERSONALIZE EACH AUDIO BIBLE CD I GIVE OUT FOR FREE

No, I just "personalize" each CD w/ a handwritten note on it usually based on current events & the "target" audience (I.e. if I'm putting them on windshield wipers of cars at angel games..I try to mention something abt angels..or if at dodger games I make an analogy between baseball & faith..hoping to catch their attention so they will give it a few seconds of their time..chances are 90% of the audio Bible Cd's either only get listened to briefly or not at all...some end up in the trash (or on the street, ot get used as coasters for their beer, ha ha ) while others may end up in a drawer...a few may get passed on to others..then there may be the 1% that actually listen to it & value it..& for whom it becomes a source of inspiration...I'm REALISTIC..I know that there are a lot of competing interests or in some cases..those who are already Christians may have their own audio Bible source or aren't into listening to the Bible...ALL I can do is "plant the seed" (or try to)...I can't make it grow..but I hope that with a unique note on each one..it might capture their interest, at least briefly..

But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.""Your brother will rise." Martha said to him,"I know he will rise, in the resurrection on the last day.""I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and anyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" She said to him, "Yes, Lord I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son  of God, the one who is coming into the world."

Ha ha, re "The CROWD CHANTED BEAT L.A....EVEN THOUGH THE ANGELS ARE BASED IN ANAHEIM..."...

Ha ha, re  "The CROWD CHANTED BEAT L.A....EVEN THOUGH THE ANGELS ARE BASED IN ANAHEIM..."...

The ANGELS are just as much a part of L.A. (or MUCH MORE) than the Dodgers (who came from Brooklyn)..sounds like somebody at LA DAILY NEWS has a bit of a unprofessional bias against the L.A. ANGELS of ANAHEIM. THe ANGELS ARE L.A. ...that's why their NAME is the ANGELS, not the DODGERS

Anyways, PLEASE PRAY for shirley .that she may be confident that I DON'T WANT anything she's got..I don't want the 10th floor office or her mcmansion nor a check from her...nor anything material she has to offer..let her become confident in God that He moves beyond financial & physical means..bringing us to a higher level that transcends $ & materials..pray for Shirley to gain the confidence to follow God further...& not to think of herself as an "orange county person" or a "yorba linda resident"..or a "athedral charter member" or a "california native" but as a CHILD OF GOD..a member of the worldwide BODY OF CHRIST...

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME GOING TO THE RV DEMO DERBY @ OC FAIR NEXT YEAR..

If it is anything like the one I "saw" (barely) tonight (7/25/10) ...my experience is that it is unorganized, lack of seating, & most of all one BIG MACHO RUDE DUDE overly-controlling the standing room crowd as if he thought this was a maximum-security event rather than a plain ol' county fair demolition derby (some people take their job too seriously & think they are too important)...

Gen 18:20-32 "In those days, the LORD said: "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grave, that I must go down and see whether or not their actions fully correspond to the cry against them that comes to me I mean to find out." While Abraham's visitors walked on farther toward Sodom, the LORD remained standing before Abraham. Then Abraham drew nearer and said:"Will you sweep away the innocent with the guilty? Suppose there were fifty innocent people in the city would you wipe out the place, rather than spare it for the sake of the fifty innocent people within it? Far be it from you to do such a thing, to make the innocent die with the guilty so that the innocent and the guilty would be treated alike! Should not the judge of all the world act with justice?" The LORD replied,"If I find fifty innocent people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Abraham spoke up again"See how I am presuming to speak to my Lord, though I am but dust and ashes What if there are five less than fifty innocent people? Will you destroy the whole city because of those five?" He answered, "I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there." But Abraham persisted, saying "What if only forty are found there?" He replied, "I will forbear doing it for the sake of the forty." Then Abraham said, "Let not my Lord grow impatient if I go on. What if only thirty are found there?" He replied, "I will forbear doing it if I can find but thirty there." Still Abraham went on,"Since I have thus dared to speak to my Lord, what if there are no more than twenty?" The LORD answered, "I will not destroy it, for the sake of the twenty." But he still persisted:"Please, let not my Lord grow angry if I speak up this last time. What if there are at least ten there?" He replied, "For the sake of those ten, I will not destroy it."

Ps 138:1-2, 2-3, 6-7, 7-8 Responsorial Psalm R. (3a) Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.

Col 2:12-14 "Brothers and sisters: You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead And even when you were dead in transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he brought you to life along with him, having forgiven us all our transgressions; obliterating the bond against us, with its legal claims, which was opposed to us, he also removed it from our midst, nailing it to the cross.

Luke 11:1-13 "one of his disciples said to him,"Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples."
He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test." And he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, Friend, lend me three loaves of bread for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him,' and he says in reply from within, Do not bother me; the door has already been locked and my children and I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.' I tell you, if he does not get up to give the visitor the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give him whatever he needs because of his persistence."And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"

7/25/10 I'M SINGING @ THE CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL

** 7/24/10 SAYING A PRAYER FOR THE DEMOLITION DERBY CROWD

frankly, as much as the demolition derby is a little brief thrill..its is exactly only that: very TEMPORAL (short-lasting)...& so as I sat there waiting for the demo derby to begin I began to think about the crowd, perhaps many of whom know nothing or little about anything more meaningful in life than temporal satisfactions...which need to keep being re+filled...without any everlasting peace....& my ultimate purpose in life is to TELL PEOPLE about more important things in life, namely Jesus Christ who gives everlasting peace & fulfillment...but yet go try & tell an average joe about Jesus & you might get a middle finger in your face or worse...so I usually do windshield evangelism, but I also pray...& one of my mottos is "prayer requires presence"...(so the closer you can feasibly get to the person or persons you are praying for, the better...Why? because it brings you closer to their situation in life & makes u less judgmental & more compassionate...in essence "incarnational" as Jesus was when He walked as a human on earth...
