- About Me:
- I am just a guy who loves the Lord. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and four great kids. My wife and I are with The Salvation Army and are in the College For Officers Training (pastor school) in beautiful Rancho Palos Verdes, California. When we get out, we will be fully ordained ministers and will be sent where ever God leads. We are already praying for our first congregation, wherever they are.
Most people out here in the cyber world know me from my site on Xanga, Gentle_Shepherd.
The Statue
The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named Kalat, who for years was forced by Saddam Hussein to make the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad.
Kalat was so grateful for the Americans liberation of his country, he melted 3 of the heads of the fallen Saddam and made the statue as a memorial to the American soldiers and their fallen warriors. Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.
To the left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.
Do you know why we don't hear about this in the news? Because it is heart warming and praise worthy. The media avoids it because it does not have the shock effect. But we can do something about it. We can pass this along to as many people as we can in honor of all our brave military who are making a difference.

Happy Birthday Family!
"I will praise God's name in song and glorify Him with thanksgiving."
The other day, I was explaining to my son, Anthony that a person does not have to have a lot of money or possessions to be rich. I told him I am a very wealth man in the love of my family. If given the choice between having extreme financial wealth or the love of my family, I would take my the love of my family over wealth in a heartbeat.
Today is a celebration day in our home. It is Anthony's and Dora's bir… Continue

Happy Belated Fathers Day
"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
When I was a child, my father once said to me, "… Continue

Saved to Serve
"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
What a special weekend! My family and I had the opportunity to travel to Southern California to witness the c… Continue

It's Harvest Time
"Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest."
Saturday was a great day. While my wife was attending a baby shower for her goddaughter and visiting with her family, my very best friend and I took nine kids fishing. Six were his, two were mine and one was from the church. I love getting together with these friends because it is like being in one wonderful family. On our way to the lake, my fr… Continue

Mountain Mover
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done."
Yesterday, as I was sitting across the table from my dear wife at lunch, I saw a sparkle in her eye I haven't seen for a long time. I asked her what she was thinking. She told me, "It is really going to happen." Upon further inquiry I found out she was talkin… Continue
