		<description>Being true to yourself is the first and most important thing I think, as it would soon show if you were trying to keep up appearances. 

In answer to Avril&#039;s question about the difference the church makes in one&#039;s life...there are friends... and then there are Christian friends. 

The latter would drop everything to rush to your aid. They would pray for you and with you in a crisis...and prayers can move mountains, because God&#039;s Holy Spirit works from within prayers...as opposed to friends who say, &#039;I&#039;m thinking about you&#039;.

There is nothing like the feeling of communion within the body of the church; communal singing and praising God...as opposed to having a non-Christian friend. They don&#039;t know the joy , love , mercy and peace &#039;that passes all understanding&#039;...freely given, unconditional...an absolute blessing. Hugs between Christians are special hugs because we are all enfolded in God&#039;s love.

Just keep asking God what His Will is for your life...and things will start to happen. All these God-incidences...

Not sure if that answered any of your questions or not...but you are God&#039;s testimony in everything you do and say, whether it&#039;s a friendly smile...a warm hug...your inspirational services...your love to your wife and children...those with whom you come into contact every day. We represent God...and He will protect us, guide us, uplift us, and surround us with His special love.

Come and chill out at
