Lets follow Jesus

We haved moved to Buffalo Lake

2007-06-09T16:56:00.000-06:00

well we are in Buffalo lake and our rent for an entire house is 400.00!!! in calgary this same house would cost at least 1500 or more to rent.we have moved our stuff in but the water is not working as it froze in the winter, so we are waiting for the land lord to install a new pump and hot water heater, it feels good to be back home and now I can apply for a house here, as for shaw i feel that my time was cut back because I got Ill so I will have a better chance here then there
it makes it easier to travel for the gospel as I don't havor have to worry about my stuff and it being there when we return,it is also so good to attend church with the original people I got saved under.

well until next time God Bless
Jesus is Lord

2. What is your favorite memory from childhood that you have and who was part of it?
my favorite memory from childhood would be of my dog snoopy and the times we would chase each other all over the woods behind our house in Frankville Ont

3. You have the ability to go back in time with a time~machine (I know you but lets pretend), Where in history would you go and who would would you see. (I know your answer even before you give it ~ so we are going to have you pick anyone or anything besides Jesus and the Holy Land).

Tonite we are at our friends place The Duffs

2007-04-24T23:09:00.000-06:00

well we haven't quite moved into our new home as we have no beds,pots,pans and the like to stay there but it will all come together sooner or later I also checked my buddies blog and found out his vacation is going well. This is good as Bill could certainly use the rest and relaxation, it was nice to see the photos of his vacation adventure.as for us we are still praising the Lord we are being blessed beyond our greatest expectations God is sooooo Good!!!!

remember that God is always there right by our sides ready to save and deliver us from whatever we have ended up in God isn't just God just in the good times he is God at all times and often more so in the bad times

Have you tried all the things you can do and failed? well try it Gods way and be victorious

until next time GOD BLESS

Well we will be moving into a townhouse

2007-04-22T12:37:00.000-06:00

Hello all

We have acquired a 3 bdrm suite for 825 a month, In Calgary's market this is very rare, it is good to see that Bill has arrived safely in Ontario and is getting a good rest as his health has been a little on the poor side lately I have been praying for him. On my side I still have to see the doctor to see if he will let me go back to work or will he give me more time off from work,
me I still get quite ill sometimes so I hope I can have the rest of the summer to recuperate before returning to work, but I will do what I have to so as to not lose my Job, I am still trying to get both Maureen and my passports done so we can visit our Son and Granddaughter in the States. the American government are such arrogant unthinking self serving bureaucratic morons that they make me want to throw up, they say oh Canada is our friend but to be safe let strip search and sodomize and rape her and treat her peoples as enemies all in the name of 911. Hey America it wasn't Canadians flying those Jets it was Alkaida so quit treating us like terrorists and shove your new passport laws up your nose sideways not all of us Native Born Canadian have the 200-300 dollars needed to get our passports.America I hope you wake up and realize the grave injustice and insult you are leveling at your "FRIEND" to the north we are peaceful by nature but are also hell on wheels when riled up just ask the German forces that faced us in battle in the world wars and also have some gratitude for us saving your bacon quite a few times in those same aforementioned wars

Well it's a long rant and hope my views are not overly offensive
but I believe it's time for us Canadians to stop taking the abuse from our southern neighbor and let our government know how we feel

Anyway as always Jesus is Lord!!

WE ARE MOVING!! WHAT A DRAG

2007-03-20T20:44:00.000-06:00

We are presently in the middle of moving and I simply hate it but it has to be done our mortgage guy bought us out so we are in the market for a new home with about 20 k as a down payment
we need prayer as we look for a new home. I would like to thank our christian friends Clement and Shiela Duff for allowing us to stay at their home as we get ready to leave ours.

Anyway as usual

JESUS IS LORD!!

WELL I'M ON A ROLL

2007-03-01T12:02:00.000-07:00

Well one thing about sick leave is it gives you time to do things like blog
the reason this blog came into being was to express my ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ
and his children as you may or may not know I came very close to dying due to an infection in my leg and when they tested they found out that I have Leukemia. It was this experience with sickness that has shown me who my true christian friends are, my true friends were right there to pray with and encourage me, one of my best friends, Bill came right away after spending over 8 hours on a plane, while a pastor in our fair city couldn't take 5 minutes out of his stupendously busy schedule to be bothered to see if I was still alive or anything, but I can guarantee you if it was one of thier little friends in thier little exclusive circle they would be there so fast that the smoke would have to clear for them to visit. I know that I shouldn't be this way
but the way they treated me hurt me very deeply and I have been just calling on the Lord to help me not feel this way, I do forgive them but it will take me time to not feel upset when I think about it, so please remember me in prayer as I am in need of your prayer brcause I am human and I need all the help I can get.

Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Luke 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

Well once again thank for listening to my ramblings

THE SONGBIRD (DON)

Well I'm on sick leave yet again

2007-02-28T23:08:00.000-07:00

Hello fellow bloggers and friends to be
I am presently at home on sick leave because my lukemia medicine makes me quite I'll some days but in spite of what is happening to me I will always love and praise my Lord and savior
Jesus Christ. I know that the trials in my life are here for a little while and as I press on my Lord is with me, you see I could have just given up when the doc told me I have cancer but guess what? cancer will not rule over me!!! I have a savior that is greater than cancer and his name is Jesus I will preach and sing and dance before my king and I will bow down and worship him for he has done great and wonderous things! anyway I just wanted to drop a line or two to let you know I am still alive and still praising Jesus

Blessings in Jesus

WELL BILL HERE IT IS AT LAST

2007-01-13T20:53:00.000-07:00

well fellow bloggers I am back since I last left a blog here I have been in the hospital and have been diagnosed with Lukemia but God is Able to keep me and heal me also another Christmas
has come and gone and as usual most have lost the true meaning of the Christmas which is about
a savior coming to earth in the form of a baby child but today it's still about who gets the most stuff. Its time that we came back to the true meaning and that's Christ. Anyhow it's good to be back blogging and to be alive to blog and serve the Lord. Well I'm off to see the pictures Bill made on his blog with his new camera so I will have to blog again later

until then God Bless

Don (The Songbird)

Well Christmas is here Again

2005-11-27T13:02:00.000-07:00

Well
Christmas is upon us once again, and I will declare to everyone "Merry Christmas!!!!"
I hope we remember the true meaning of Christmas and realize that a child was born that would change the destiny of mankind forever, nowadays with gimme,gimme this,and if we don't get this gift we pout, we totally miss what Christmas is all about.
It's about Jesus and about his birth and about the fact that God gave us very best gift that he could Jesus his only son, so please remember to let everyone know it not about the gift's we give or even the one's we recieve it's about the greatest gift of all
Salvation Through Jesus Christ The Son of God.

P.S when the Kids start whining about what they got for Christmas, try telling them about the birth of Christ and how he came into this world in a stable wrapped in rags and sleepng in a manger,(We as well as our children often have no idea about Christmas and it's a shame,as well as a government that was founded on christian ideals seems to have no backbone when it comes to acknowledging God but will bend to every other secular belief system imaginable, so don't you dare tell me I can't say Merry Christmas or worship the one true God and his Son Christ Jesus)

Luke 2:7-14 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Luke 2:7-14 KJV Bible

Thanks for listening to my ramblings

entries. Here I am at my buddy Bills place and we are doing some bios work on his computer,

for the price I have asked for it thus proving that Jesus does truly love and take care of us

so rejoice for the Lord is worthy to be praised. Also my friend Bill went for the job fair at Shaw

and wowed them so I have every confidence that we will be working together. I just thank God

for my friend and for his continuing grace

So Until Next Time

I have run into a small problem of my own doing but I have to trust Jesus to get me out

our local power company cut our power to 120 only at christmas now it is the end of January and unless I can

find 1180 they will cut off my water but I will not give up I will trust in the Lord and he will deliver me from

my own stupidity please keep us in prayer as Feb 4 is the dead line

Thanks

Thanks for your Prayers

The Songbird(Don)

Just a little talk with Jesus

2005-01-10T08:15:00.000-07:00

Hello friends

what a wonderful Lord we serve that even when we err in our ways He is loving and merciful all it takes is a conversation with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to let ya know everything will be ok . Jesus is still the Lord and still in control.just remember three things

He is always there, in everything we do, say, and think, live life knowing that he never leaves us nor forsakes us. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
That he is our Savior, and he gave his life for us. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He loves us regardless of where we are. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

So friends remember even though the way seems dark and nary a step you see remember Jesus walks beside you and He is the light, you see?

Thanks

The Songbird (Don)

well here we are

2005-01-05T21:57:00.000-07:00

Hello all sorry for missing a couple of days but even though the devil uses every weapon against me I WILL NOT GIVE THE DEVIL SO MUCH AS ONE INCH IN MY LIFE I will always follow the Lord no matter what is happening in my life as Jesus told us if we put Father, Mother, Wife or Family ahead of Jesus we are not fit to follow him. I don't want to be found wanting in my life I love my family and my wife and I can't let the devil pull me down. I will always follow Jesus no matter what.

please pray for us

Happy New Year

2005-01-01T23:00:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome to a new year!!

It's jan 1 to me its a new start time to renew both my faith but also my resolve to do even more for Jesus in 2005

Today was a very emotional day as I looked back on a christmas with no christmas tree and gifts for my loved ones but as always I stay faithful that God will do something, so if your sitting at home pouting because you didn't get exactly what you wanted just rest assured there are some who wish they had even 1 present to give lets remember that we should be thankful to be alive and with our loved ones this time of year

Love In Jesus

The Songbird (Don)
