Any thing positive happening, these negative threads are getting old!

Well we bought a house and sold our house we're in now. Praise God about that. I was worried I was going to have to pay on two mortgages.

Today someone made an offer to buy into our company. Praise God about that.

I still have a wonderful wife and three of the cutest most adorable redheads anyone could want. Praise God about that.

We had Friend Day a few weeks ago and had about 150 first time visitors. We had over a thousand in church that day. Our Spanish Church had their Friend Day last week. They run about 75 every Sunday, on Friend Day they had 125 first time visitors! Almost double of what they generally have on a given Sunday. God is really moving in our Spanish work.

The negative stuff about preachers, organizations and churches after awhile fatigues the spiritual man.

Let's talk about healing, gifts of the spirit, people being delivered, mission fields set ablaze with mass baptisms of water and spirit.

My wife and I had lunch with RevRandy and wife this week and we had a wonderful time of fellowship....

I'd start a positive thread but don't really have the time or energy but I've been following a bit all these negative threads and I have to wonder why I never read one thread started about all the positive things that I experienced last week.

I just got off a cruise (Bahamas) and it was great. But I have to say that the highlight of our trip so far was definitely Gen. Conf. It was a great conference in my opinion. I was ministered to personally and had a great time of fellowship. Got to meet lots of people and old time friends and acquaintances, heard some great preaching!

Ladies day was wonderful and done with totally excellence, the ministers wives b'fast was awesome, the Cheesecake Factory is definitely one of my new most favorite restaurants. LOL.

I know there are "issues" and some of how that turned out was disappointing to some but I honestly never heard a negative word from the people I was talking to at conference.

There was a real authentic move of the Holy Ghost in the services.

I just thought everything was pretty wonderful.

So how come everybody's in such a negative mood?

My prior post should have said "post" instead of "thread"

Ruined the humor completely.

Wow, UPC folks can take a cruise now.

This is postitive!

I am wanting to sail out of Vancouver, BC, I have heard it is pretty there.

Please pray for him as he needs to be filled with the Holy Ghost. His health is such that he is slowly succumbing to emphysema and copd.

Lord God,

Once again we humbly come to You on behalf of Bro. DWW's dear

Dad. You have kept Your Hand of Mercy on him thus far. Lord, speak

to His heart concerning his soul's need, in Jesus Name!

He called their pastor and he arrived before they had gotten my mom in the truck. They rushed her to the hospital and the decision was made to life flight her to Herman Hospital in Houston.

It is about this time that we all began to hear about what was going on. When the helicopter took off she had no feeling and no movement on her left side. On the flight over she regained feeling. By the time the helicopter had landed she had movement back.

Really when they got her to the hospital they didn't really know what to do with her because she was okay. But they checked her in and began to run tests to see what the cause of this might have been. They found that the arteries to her neck were nearly completely blocked (this could well explain the increasingly slurred speech over the last few years).

She went into surgery and all went well. The arteries are now opened up nicely and she is recovering well. She was on high blood pressure medicine before but no longer has a need for that medicine. With the blockages gone her initial struggle was with blood pressure that was too low.

She had a stroke and God gave her full recovery even before the doctors were able to begin working on her.

If she had not had the stroke they blocked arteries would have never been found because both of my parents won't go to the doctor unless they are in very bad shape. (I grimace to admit that I have inherited this trait)

All in all... if I could roll back time and choose for her to not have the stroke I probably wouldn't because now she is set to be better off than she was before the stroke.

She has totally regained all feeling and movement and no longer has the slight slur she used to have and her blood pressure is doing great.

She is more whole now than she was before she had the stroke.

Yes sir... some wonderfully positive things are going on.

Thank you, dear Lord, for this great report! You are great and

greatly to be praised!
