Unexpected – part duel

I truly did not expect that my message will touch so many people ... but I’m thankful it did ... and I hope it made a difference in someone’s life.

This may sound like a corny proverb, but I believe it is true ... one person can make a difference.

Moreover, I recommend the book - Chicken Soup for the Soul (ISBN 1-55874-920-9) ... and the chapter “A Simple Gesture” as an example to the proverb above.

And for people who never read the Bible (yes, The Book that everyone knows ... but do you?) ... you may want to give it a try ... you may just find what you are looking for.

Everybody can be great ...
because anybody can serve. You
don’t have to have a college degree
to serve. You don’t have to make
your subject and verb agree to
serve. You only need a heart full of
grace. A soul generated by love.

--- Martin Luther King Jr.

It seems you have learned something priceless. I am very proud that you now know this, for many never come to understand this, and it seems to me only those who love God find this.

One time a long time back in a sermon, I made the comment, ones character is worth more than all the possession in this world, I hope they who heard understood I believe that to the very bottom of my heart, for I know its true.

Besides that, how many will get out of this world with their possessions?

It seems to me the only thing we will leave this world with that is really going to count, is our belief in Jesus for all of those who make it to heaven, and the other will only have their unbelief and thus will not be fit for heaven.

I want to share this little poem with you.

My Work

If I should fail to do the work,
Which God designed for me,
In all the world there's not a soul,
To do my job, you see.

Some may accomplish what I could not,
And gather much fame and wealth,
But no other creature which God has made,
Can do my work but myself.

So, however humble my task may be,
And how much tempter to quit,
I'll remember each day as I press along,
That nobody else can do it.
Many Blessings,
Bro. Jerry
