There Is No Place Like This Place

RIVERS OF JOY BAPTIST CHURCH
THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE THIS PLACE
ANYWHERE NEAR THIS PLACE
SO THIS MUST BE THE PLACE
We would like to believe, you know?
We do love to preach and teach in this place
Bill loves to play and sing
This group of people seem to love to sing, hear and take notes

Now these deacons love their pastor and church


Psalms 88:1-7

UPDATE NOTES


SO TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY IN A FEW YEARS THAT I AM NOT WORKING AT MEX ITALI FOR 10 HOURS A WEEK.


SO WELL NOW WHAT DO I DO?


HAND SANITIZER!


Remember from June 2003 to 2007 I didn't work. (I was let go from PBC). Then thinking I was going to get a position at BC, I just waited. Several church offers came and went. Final in 2008 I had a position in a church only to be ask to step down a month later After a few years of working for the position, I was ask to resigned. I almost never resigned. Then Sherry called as asked me to work for her at Mex Itali.

But now that I am going to receive SS and have a great church who supports us, and Charity is doing well at Union Mills,

I am going to be more focus and less tired (I hope) doing what I really love.


This doesn't mean I spend more time, it means I can give my full attention to what I love to do anyway.

Of course I still help out at Union Mills
I still ride my John Deere
I still enjoy walking
Love taking videos and photos
ISN'T THIS THE LIFE

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE HAS AND IS CHRIST




For Me To Live Is Christ. Has always been and always will be.

Philippians 1:21

I am afraid my high school friends would say that I was all church ministry. My girl friends would say I like working at the church than going out on a date. Even on a date I would be at a church activity. From age 14 I was involved in some activity at our church, where my Dad was the pastor. When my Dad died in 1966 I was the Youth Pastor of our church and we had over fifty in our class. Almost each day I was with the kids and doing some kind of church activity. Than I was reading a lot of books, love writing, and loved teaching and preaching and loved learning.

While I loved sports, Don and I played sports at school, but the primary desire was to be at the church. We played almost every day that was possible playing football, and baseball, either in our back yard or somewhere with a group of kids.

My focus was always and is still the Work of the Lord.

I love marriage, I love my children, and now my grandchildren, I like NASCAR, Hot Wheels, Baseball, and Hot Apply Pie. I like my 855 John Deere, and walking. And I like google, firefox, kodak, quick time, microsoft, and aol.

Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol?

The Use of the Bible in Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol"By Dillon Burroughs

This information is provided as a personal analysis of the times the word “Bible” is mentioned in The Lost Symbol. It is based on a keyword search of the e-book version after having read the entire book in its context. As such, it is certainly imperfect and clearly biased (I am personally an evangelical Christian seeking to understand the influence of this book on culture.).

However, it will be helpful to readers, pastors and otherwise, interested in what is said about the Bible in this The Lost Symbol.
.
  • A call to search the Bible for hidden meanings and allegorical interpretations: Chapter 111: “The prophecy of the Apocalypse is just one of the Bible’s beautiful messages that has been distorted.” The context later discusses that the “real” meaning of the Bible is allegorical rather than literal, a so-called hidden knowledge that sounds very closely related to Second-Century Gnosticism.

[On a side note, The Lost Symbol includes much information on Freemasonry. Though beyond the scope of this article, there is much to investigate on this i
