Handing out flyers today

I handed out 5 flyers today to 5 different stores. Taking it easy getting ready for Swedesboro Day tom. Our Church will be handing our free waters with a flyer about who we are and what we are about. Please pray that God would bless our efforts.

Home Sweet, Home!

I arrived back home last night. I started out good this morning with a nice big bowl of Oatmeal (with no butter). I had a cup (only 1) of coffee. And I feel pretty good. My heart test was good and so they really don't know why the stroke happened. I guess it might have been God trying to get my attention to slow down. Thanks to everyone who called, prayed and thought of me while I was locked up in the hospital. I am not preaching this Sunday but I guess it will be good for me to take a break. Thanks again! Hollar at a brother!

A Thelamic Stroke is the diagnosis

No clugged artiers in my neck but it was a stroke. They are keeping me longer to do tests on my heart. PLEASE PRAY GOD GETS ME OUTTA THIS PLACE! IM GOING NUTS!!!!!!!

UPDATE ON THE OLD MAN KEIFS

Well I am still sitting in the hospital. The good news is that I have my computer and the hospitals internet and my wife gave me my cell phone back. I had a test done on my carotid arteries today and the test says that I do have blockage. The Dr doesn't think that it is right so tom I am having another more detailed test done. If it shows the same result than I guess I will be having surgery (The roto rotor thinger). If the test come back clean than I can go home tom. Anyway I feel fine and I have been able to relax anyway. Love yall!

AWESOME SUNDAY, but A CRAZY MONDAY!

Well we had 4o somthing in services on Sunday with one Baptism. The work on the building is about done, our sign got put up Sat. Sat, Chrissy, and a few other church peoples planted about 30 mums outside the building and it looks awesome! I took pics and was planning on posting them today but I had a bit of trouble. I was at the coffee shop and I had to be taken to the hospital (where I sit now). I guess I had some kind of mild stroke or somthing. Details are still being looked into. All I know was that it wa scary. I work out everyday and try to stay fit, but I guess nothing can prepare you for the downfalls of stress and over-zerting yourself. I had planned on taking a vacation with my wife and daughter upon our arrival to Jersey but just blew it off. I guess it is about time to get away for a few days to unwind and spend some time with the fam. Its hard with me, I know that God is in control of everything, I know I shouldn't worry about stuff that I cant change. I go to God but just need to learn how to leave it with God and let go. Please pray for me. I am a worry wart to with a captital W. Those who know me or have even hung out with me for 5 min know this. The doctor told me maybe I should find another line of work. I laughed! I would never ever leave the ministry that God has called me too! I just need to learn a few more things about ministry right now. 

1.  Don't fret over things that really dont matter.

2. Cut down on the espressos and drink weaker coffee and less of it. MAN THATS GONNA BE HARD!

3. Allow the peace of God to fill me and control every part of my life NO MATTER what the situation, circumstance, problem, person, or anything else that fits in that space.

4. Thank God for friends who love me and lift me up when I am down!!!!THANKS GUYS!!!!

My Little BIG GIRL

AN AWESOME WEEK IN WV

Man I had a great time at this years pastors retreat in WV! I wasn't going to go because of all the things going on at the church, but Nathan Rogers and Aaron Johnson encouraged me to just get away for a time spiritual refreshment and man was it! I heard some wonderful messages, in fact every single one spoke to my heart! I got to camp out with Russ, Aaron, and Nathan the night before the conference and it was a blast! A bunch of us took a hike up a mountain and needless to say my cardio isn't what it probably should be. (Russ and AJ are cardio experts) Nathan and I were sweaty and winded, but if it were a weight lifting comp (NAthan and I would have taken the cake) I am going to post some pics tom. Services were awesome. We had 34 in attendance and 2 first time visitors! This evening a bunch of us spent time cleaning the downstairs and it looks awesome. (PICS ARE ON THE WAY). I am ready for the week! Restored and pumped! Hope everyone is doing well!
