Questions

I have questions. Quite a few lately and as time passes even more arise. Being my age leaves one to think of the end of life. Let’s face it. There are a lot less days ahead that behind.

I’ve written one hundred forty pages of my autobiography with the slant on how God has allowed me to live and how He has directed my paths despite which one I took. At my age now 20/20 hindsight surely makes one wish to go back and change some situations.

I think my biggest decision was to accept Jesus as my Savior. From that day on I tried every thing in life I could that would have aborted many things. God however knows far more than I and and He has seen to it that the paths I took always let to the same destination.

So here I am at seventy three years old right in the middle of where He wants me. I sit here typing of His love for me. I have never felt more secure in God’s grace than I do now. I have found the simplicity of His love and the way He shows it. It’s personal to me, yet it’s for every one of us.

Don’t let this gift of God’s love through His sacrificing His Son on a cross get past you without realizing and confessing the power in it. He isn’t mad at you and He doesn’t want to send you to darkness forever. He has given you the opportunity to enter eternal light and blessing. The Old Testament God was viewed under the Law of Sin and Death. The New Testament is the view of God in mercy and grace. God isn’t mad at you. His hand is extended to you to give you the gift that will keep on giving forever.

About JimR, Chaplain

I'm a 74-year-old guy, in October 2024, who worked in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 28 years and now retired as of 31 Dec 16. I've worked in medical records, the Health Benefits Department, Billing, and the IT department and retired as the Personnel Security Manager for the hospital. I'm a musician and Corvette enthusiast. Yes, I have had two. I traded my second Corvette for a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in mid-summer 2019. Then in 2024, I traded to an HD FreeWheeler FLRT. I've already ridden the new one a thousand miles in 6 weeks. I'm also searching for a fresh new outlook on life with new spiritual insight among other things. I was ordained a minister in 20190202. I've become certified with the American Chaplaincy Association through Aidan University in June '21. I've found that with the unconditional love of my companion, Libby Rowe life is complete through God. She's a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman who gives her all in everything she puts her mind to do. She and I married on 24 July 2015. She was ordained in February 2022. She has a blog too called Under a Carolina Moon. Give it a visit.
