One of Satan’s many deceptions that I embraced and allowed in my life was this,,, “There is always time to change and ask forgiveness” I bought into this lie because it allowed me to chase the world- As I have stated,, I found the Lord Jesus at an early age and have believed in him ever since,,, but I wanted the world as well- This was one deception that I grasped- I remember, vividly, standing at a bar late one night and thinking,, This is not right for who I am or want to be and certainly not right in the eyes of Jesus,,, but you know what my immediate answer to myself was,, I have time to change and get back with the Lord,,, I can start tomorrow- Well a lot of tomorrows went by and eventually Jesus convicted me and brought turmoil into my life to get my attention,, which worked well,,, I had Foul Weather enter my life and I turned back to Jesus again- He was there,,, but you know what,,, it was not and is not easy to change directions after years of practicing the worlds ways- I struggle with it everyday- I ask forgiveness of Jesus for the hardships, I alone, brought into the lives of the people around me and my family, only because I wanted to be the life of the party- I was glorifying myself, using what the Lord had given me, that is all it was- Satan will test you constantly when you try to change back to the Light of Jesus- But it is only because of the Light of Jesus that you can change- Thank You Lord !!!

Christmas
Christmas,,,, what a wonderful time of year, great feeling, great hopefulness, great happiness and great music- I was listening to Christmas music the other day, “We Three Kings” and woke up thinking about the Star of Night – “Westward Leading, still proceeding, guide us to the perfect Light” That Star of night is still out there waiting for us to follow,,, It is the Light of Jesus, to lead us to that royal beauty bright – Help me Jesus to abandon the darkness of the world that I have slipped into and run toward your perfect Light- I ask forgiveness for my slide into the darkness of this world- There is no meaningful happiness here,,,,
Hello
Hello,
I am Larry in my 60 something years. You might wonder… why after all these years, would you start a blog. The short answer… I read a book, a book that shook me to the very core of my beliefs, my outlook and my ideas of humanity. This book opened my eyes like no other, except for the Bible. Jesus, I truly believe, lead me to this point.
You see, I found Jesus in a small rural town over 50 years ago, and have depended and called on him for help and guidance many times throughout my life, (usually during Foul Weather in my Life) never doubting that he would be there for me. Now if you were to ask most of my childhood or adult friends… What do you think of Larry? Hopefully they would say I was a pretty good guy, but very few would say I was a Jesus believer or follower. I was very good at hiding my faith and belief in Jesus. Why… because I wanted Jesus and the world on my own terms. I was a fence setter, neither hot nor cold. I was an Undercover Christian a Christian in hiding. I thought I knew what I was… but was pretty careful about letting anyone else know.
This Blog is my attempt to remedy that with the Lord. I pray that with God’s blessing, my stories and observations from my life will be of some guidance for others to learn from my experiences and failures. This is in no way a glorification of me, as there is no glory in me, only the glorification of the Lord for what he has given to me.
The book, Killing Christians; Living the Faith Where It’s Not Safe to Believe by Tom Doyle. I highly recommend everyone read this book. I was blown away by this book. It brings to light the real evil, in real time, more terrifying and disgusting then any Hollywood movie that is present and practicing in the world today. Everyone needs to read this book and open your eyes.
I will be adding posts as I get into this. Your comments and prayers are certainly welcome and appreciated.
Thanks.
Foul Weather Faith
