Snippet
“At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up
when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy
tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not
be a castle. And its not so important happy ever after, just that its happy
right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you ,
and once in a while people may even take your breath away.” ― Zane Grey Riders
of the Purple Sage
Scripture
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's
sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are
first shall be last; and the last shall be first. Matthew 19:29,30 KJV

Outlaws prayer By Johnny Paycheck
You know, I worked the Big Packet show in Fort Worth, Saturday night,
We had all day Sunday to rest and relax, before I caught another
flight.
So I decided to walk down town an' get myself a little fresh air.
Before long, I found myself in front of a big church on the corner of
the square.
Boy, I could hear that singin' way out in the street, sure was a
beautiful sound.
So I just walked up the steps an' opened the door an' started to go
inside an' sit down.
But before I could, a young man walked over to me an said: "Excuse
me, Sir,
"But I can't let you in with that big black hat, those jeans, that
beard an' long hair.
So I just left, went back outside, sat down on that kerbing, an I
thought to myself:
That's the house of the Lord. That guy's got the hell of a nerve.
Tellin' me I can't worship anywhere I please.
So right there, in front of that Church, I just knelt down on my knees.
I said: "Lord, I know I don't look like much, but I didn't think
you'd mind.
"I just wanted to be with your people, Lord: it's been a long
time.
"A while ago, a saw a wino over there in the alley, all bent over
in tears,
"An' I thought how one stained glass window, from this Church,
would feed his family for years."
"Then there's those fine cars parked outside: too many for me to
count.
"Made me think how people walked for days to hear your sermon on
the mount.
"Then there's those fine ladies in the choir, Lord, singin' like
they really love it.
"Hell, last night, they were dancin' on the front row of my show:
drinkin' beer, screamin: 'Sing ShoveIt.'
"You know, even John the Baptist wouldn't be welcome in this
place,
"With his coat made of Camel hair an' sandals on his feet an' a
long beard on his face.
"You know, Lord, when you come back to get your children, an' take
'em beyond the clouds,
"To live forever in Heaven with you: well, I'd sure hate to be in
this crowd.
"You know, Lord, I'm not perfect
Sentence Prayer
Almighty God:
Let my words by few
But my actions sincere
My I take the log out of my own eye first
Before I point a finger
May my love for you never
Be for show. Amen
