The last time I drive home as a civilian. The last time I am at my parents house as a civilian. The last time I go to sleep as a civilian. Tomorrow is a day of "firsts" for me. I am so excited and I want to thank you for all of your prayers in getting this job. Now I ask that you pray that God keeps me safe and protects me and my new brothers and sisters! May God bless you in all that you do!

You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a Place called Success!

(You won't be able to do this one in your head) 2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code) 3. Multiply by 80 4. Add 1 5. Multiply by 250 6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number 7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again 8. Subtract 250 9.

As Rick Warren famously said in his multi-zillion selling book The Purpose Driven Life, "It's not about you." Life is about God. God is the Creator of all, and all of creation, including me and you, exists to bring Him glory. This flies in the face of pretty much every message communicated to us since birth (even sometimes within Christian circles), but it is, in fact, the absolute bottom-line of reality. Believing and living otherwise is a never-ending, empty uphill battle. Parenthetically let me add this. Before we dismiss God as an insecure egomaniac, let's quickly...

I want to start an e-discussion about the Bible. This isn't to take the place of anything already going on nor is it to take the place of your daily time in your devotions and talking to God. The outline and reason for this is two-fold; the outline will be questions you have and would like answers to, thoughts to ponder and discuss, and things you are learning about God in your life that you would like to share. The reason I would like to do this is: there are many...

I have come up with paragraphs of things to say to help you write your NYR (New Year's Resolutions). But it boils down to these few things. If you want to have a great year you have to believe it will be. If you want to have that great job, great relationship, great grades, great etc, you have to believe that you are worth having them. You have to believe will all of your heart that you are "fearfully and wonderfully made". EVERY day when you wake up you need to live that day as if it were your last and seize every opportunity. Put the... (more) http://hodges.blogdrive.com/comments?id=24 http://hodges.blogdrive.com/archive/23.html Sun, 18 Dec 2005 10:11:22 GMT My king is a sovereign king. No means of measure can define His limitless love. No far-seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shoreless supply. No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessings. "He's enduringly strong. He's entirely sincere. He's eternally steadfast. He's immortally graceful. He's infinitely powerful. He's impartially merciful. Do you know Him?" "He's the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world. He's God's Son. He's the sinner's Savior. He's the centerpiece of civilization. He stands in the solitude of Himself....

This sleeping Child you're holding is the great I AM!!! Sometimes we need a reminder of who that sleeping Child is and what He did for us. Jesus is the reason for the season. http://hodges.blogdrive.com/comments?id=22 http://hodges.blogdrive.com/archive/21.html Fri, 02 Dec 2005 07:47:19 GMT If you were driving from here to Cali you would see a lot of different types of scenery. If your goal was to get to the ocean you would have to cross some mountains, go through some prairies and fields and also go through the desert. We all go through deserts at one time or another. But to get to the ocean you have to go through the desert. See it is in the desert where we start asking God for direction. It is in the desert where we ask God for healing or peace or just to be with us in our journey. Sometimes when we are in the mountains we lose sight of God, but not in the...

I just had a long discussion with a close friend about the character and love of God. Never before have I felt so defeated and encouraged all in the same conversation. I want to share this with you: never give up on God and remember His timing has nothing to do with our desire. Just one example: Joseph was a young teenager when he was sold as a slave. Follow this story further and we see that he is thrown in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Follow a little further and there was a... (more) http://hodges.blogdrive.com/comments?id=20
