"Jesus, Friend Of Sinners"

"Jesus, Friend Of Sinners"

Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours

Jesus, friend of sinners, the one who's writing in the sand
Made the righteous turn away and the stones fall from their hands
Help us to remember we are all the least of these
Let the memory of Your mercy bring Your people to their knees
Nobody knows what we're for only what we're against when we judge the wounded
What if we put down our signs crossed over the lines and loved like You did

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours

You love every lost cause; you reach for the outcast
For the leper and the lame; they're the reason that You came
Lord I was that lost cause and I was the outcast
But you died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet

'Cause You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever

And I was the lost cause and I was the outcast

You died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet

MRI Scan A Visible look at what's Growing on Ron's Brain

With God ALL things are possible!

These are Ron's MRI scans.............3/14/2012

The Dr called and cancelled Ron's June 14th surgery,----- due to something in Her schedule,and gave 2 alternative dates---------------1st of all that was not a good idea on their part-----------She already knew she had a runaway patient! She set the date----now SHE'S changed it!

Man on the run----Man on the run---

You tell Ron your gonna cut open his head like a pumpkin, -----that door of opportunity to exit-----------------was open----------------"Has anyone seen Ron"?

My Man has had since 2009 when he was 1st diagnosed to "read and "read and "read "anything and everything" in the medical profession about his tumor,effects surgery,treatment,prognosis,etc-and then to hear the Dr validate this.

Had we had a choice or option in Oct of 2009 we would have done what the Dr's said...there was no option...........in 2009, now there is..........."Quality of life is better than Brain surgery"

you give us an inch we'll take {1250 miles}

our response.........how bout "Oct"1st ---------Dr said what?

As of today there will be no cutting open this mans head unless the Lord has other plans----------------before Oct 1st------- and that date is not in stone-------------

as big as that tumor is in my mans head, alls I can say iz thank you Lord for given Ronz a big head. AND NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH OUR LORD!

we keep on keepin on, no matter what the days look like, no matter what anyone thinks, right now fresh air and freedom from a hospital bed just seems much more kinder, and healthier.

Double edged sword!

With God ALL things are possible!

This has been a hard last couple of weeks............................Having to face, and make decisions, on not just one thing in our life but "many"things! praying that God's will be over them all. Walking by Faith ,Trusting God through all the uncertainties.

I'm not sure what's worse, having something happen to you and you "have no choice", or having something happen to you and you "have no choice"!------------------------------------------ but now your faced with "making a choice"! Being pushed by man/Dr to make a decision..........Not because your gonna be cured------ but because your gonna die.

If you read that twice,you read it right......................................

Its a double edged sword ................."you get cut either way".......................

We are praying for many who have been afflicted radically-- blind-sided

"without a choice" with surgery, hospitalized, disease.......and death ----watching and realizing........choices are being made day by day, minute by minute.......with or with out your permission!

Some infirmity has pushed them to the brink of death.................... We grieve with these families, feeling their anguish and pain. Some how suffering with them, from adistance................hearing the updates,but not really knowing the grueling day......day in and day out...... tests,treatments,lab work,probing,prodding,nausea,weakness,anxiety,headaches anemia, needles tubes,pain,chemo....sleepless nights,and more pain, and the loved ones waiting at home wondering will I see my daddy,mommy, sister, brother,,granddaughter, grandson,grama, grampa,again..................you get the Idea.........our hearts ache.......we're overwhelmed with sadness,concern............but what do we do with that?......... do we really know what one is going through?..............do we really care?....... are we just happy it's not us?....

"thank God my family's healthy"!------there's enough going on in my own life to extend myself to another?

Normal reaction..........right?........ movin right along -----going about our day just lip servicing information like a newspaper as if we have all the updates,

and in the next breath ...........Oh I was just thinking about you! "Praying"!!!

hummmmmmmmm.....life goes on........ "GUILTY" what's wrong with us?

Today " reaks" because a husband is lying in a hospital bed possibly dying, a daughter is going through chemo again because she's been diagnosed for the 3rd time with cancer, a Husband knows His brain tumor will eventually Kill him, another looses their battle to cancer,

or.......................a son is grieving the death of his father because he rejected Jesus while on this earth and now is separated for all eternity apart from Jesus!

I write all this to say.........................none of us know what tomorrow holds-------or if we'll have a tomorrow, what trial we will go though, what crisis we'll have to face, we are not exempt from any of these!

what does your life look like? what trials are you going through? Whom do you give them all over to?

when I lay my head down at the end of the day,

I have one "choice" only I can make that "no one can make for me" but me.....

that choice is "Jesus as my Lord and Savior"

I'm a sinner saved by grace,through Faith, redeemed by the precious Blood of Jesus Christ,the one who paid it all, once for all, .......

A Holy God before the world began had a plan,to save us not because we deserved it, but because of His grace through his son Jesus Christ, A Holy God Made me for His Good pleasure, a Holy God made me for His Glory, for His perfect will

no matter how "bad our day's are" {rejecting Jesus} will be your worst ..................He Loves you so much, and His Love is Higher than the heavens reaches,deeper than the oceans God's Love has no bounds..............that's crazy big Love,

I know not how the Spirit moves, convincing men of sin, revealing Jesus through His word, creating faith within.

I know not how this saving faith, to me he did impart, nor how believing in His word, wrought peace within my heart.

I know not when my Lord will come, But I know whom I have believed. And am persuaded that he is able, to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. Thank you Jesus I don't walk this road alone.
