Thank you all so much. I love you all. I am home from the Hospital now and phrasing God.

To all of my family and friends out their. I had Colon cancer surgery on Aug 09, 2013 and it was my birthday too. I was told by my doctor that the surgery went well. I checked in the hospital on Aug 09 and was their for 6 days. I went home on this last Wednesday evening, I am now in the recovery mode and am not supposed to do much, but I am doing what I can. The Lord is doing a quick recovery on m...e. The surgery was 3 hours long and I was cut open from the top on my stomach to well below my navel and am held together by metal staples on the inside and the outside, so I have to be careful of what I do so as not to strain the surgery area. AS I said I believe that the Lord is healing me. I was talking to someone else who had almost the same kind of surgery and it has taken him much longer to heal due to complications and other things, so I give phrase to the Lord. I love the Lord, I thank the Lord. What would I do without Him. I also have to say that my beautiful bride of 20 plus years has stood strong through all of this and is still taking care of me, loving me and she loves the Lord. I thank all of you for your prayers and support and bless the Lord their was many people out their who don't know me who prayed for me and the family. I love you all much more that I can express.

I still have doctor visits and other things like that. I go back to see my surgeon this coming Tuesday and maybe will learn more. It is great to be home, it is great to be alive. It is awesome to have a Father in Heaven that love us enough to have given up HIS only begotten Son so that we could live and be forgiven of our sins. I love you all soooooooo much!!

Spurgeons Daily Devotional; They weave the spider's web."

They weave the spider's web."
Isaiah 59:5
See the spider's web, and behold in it a most suggestive picture of the hypocrite's religion. It is meant to catch his prey: the spider fattens himself on flies, and the Pharisee has his reward. Foolish persons are easily entrapped by the loud professions of pretenders, and even the more judicious cannot always escape. Philip baptized Simon Magus, whose guileful declaration of faith was so soon exploded by the stern rebuke of Peter. Custom, reputation, praise, advancement, and other flies, are the small game which hypocrites take in their nets. A spider's web is a marvel of skill: look at it and admire the cunning hunter's wiles. Is not a deceiver's religion equally wonderful? How does he make so barefaced a lie appear to be a truth? How can he make his tinsel answer so well the purpose of gold? A spider's web comes all from the creature's own bowels. The bee gathers her wax from flowers, the spider sucks no flowers, and yet she spins out her material to any length. Even so hypocrites find their trust and hope within themselves; their anchor was forged on their own anvil, and their cable twisted by their own hands. They lay their own foundation, and hew out the pillars of their own house, disdaining to be debtors to the sovereign grace of God. But a spider's web is very frail. It is curiously wrought, but not enduringly manufactured. It is no match for the servant's broom, or the traveller's staff. The hypocrite needs no battery of Armstrongs to blow his hope to pieces, a mere puff of wind will do it. Hypocritical cobwebs will soon come down when the besom of destruction begins its purifying work. Which reminds us of one more thought, viz., that such cobwebs are not to be endured in the Lord's house: He will see to it that they and those who spin them shall be destroyed for ever. O my soul, be thou resting on something better than a spider's web. Be the Lord Jesus thine eternal hiding-place.

"What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say that the spirit God has placed within us is filled with envy?

James 4:5-7 (NLT) "What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say that the spirit God has placed within us is filled with envy? But he gives us even more grace to stand against such evil desires. As the Scriptures say, "God opposes the proud but favors the humble." So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
