The Answer!

I received some wise advise from a small, distinguished-looking gentleman about my "question" in my last blog. No, it wasn't Confucius (but I can see a resemblance). Anyhow, the advice wasn't something new, incredibly well thought out, off-the-charts configured, or mind-numbing news. No....it was simply what I needed to hear.

Too often, as a friend; we think we have to come up with some fresh advice to help someone with a problem. I think we may even sugar-coat our answers as to make sure we do not upset the friendship. When we have problems, our Christian friends need to be honest with us, speak from their heart, and tell us the simple truth.

My friend (the Confucius look-a-like) simply told me the truth. Deep-down, it was what I knew I needed to do to address my conflict; but when a Christian friend tells you the truth, knowing it may be unpleasant to hear and or follow - that is a true friend. Thanks M.D.!

As for my question and situation, it has been addressed and God's grace (as expected) overwhelmed me. If any one reading this does not believe that God is real and alive, and working in our lives - send me a comment. I can give you countless examples of how He continues to amaze me by His love and concern for my life. If any one reading this lives within 30 minutes of Greensburg, PA - and you want to hear and see God's word come alive - then visit Charter Oak Church - Frye Farm Rd, Greensburg, PA. Our services are Saturday at 6, Sunday at 8, 9:30, and 11.

God is so amazing that I believe He could use a blog entry from a sinner like me to reach someone that needs to know how real and alive He is. If that is you, come to Charter Oak Church and ask for Rich (or say "point me to the tall guy who does dramas") and we can be reminded together that God is alive and He cares about you!

Grace and peace.
