We are in St.Paul Mn, at Northwestern College. We made a trip to the local Target store right down the road. While there I ran into a man who was on his cell phone. He was walking the store doing his shopping telling the person he was talking to about the fact that his life has been changed.

The man had really long hair, fully tattooed arms and was about 6 foot 4. He was telling the person on the other side how his life was almost $800 dollars “richer” each week since he started a relationship with Jesus Christ. He was telling the person on the phone about the new excitement that he felt. No need for Alcohol and the things he used to do.

He was excited, and looking forward to each new day….

Prior to going to the Local Target Store, we stopped at the State Fair Ground where I dedicated my Life to Christ at a Billy Graham Crusade in 1973.

Though the sites were different, the feeling was the same. It was there that I heard the Gospel in a new way. It was there that I heard God call me.

It takes courage and dedication to make changes.

Psalm 121 (NIV)

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Where do you find your strength and Help?

Is it God, or is it in the things of man who can become God.

My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth Ps 121:2

Just a thought!

Tim
