Updates to my blog

Hey All,

I know you are tired of reading about my woos so I am giving myself a blog break.  I will now be coming to you with more entertainment, current/local events, and all things that affect the gospel community.  Let me know if your church is hosting and/or celebrating something and would love for visitors to come and fellowship with you and your congregation.  As Resurrection Sunday (Easter) approaches, I would love to share your churches information with those who may be looking for a place to worship in the spirit of His Resurrection. 

This Sunday, March 10, 2013, my home First Church of God will be having its 76th church anniversary.  This is such an amazing event to celebrate God's grace over a family that has been together for 76 years.  I would love for you to come and worship with my church family as we welcome two guest preachers, Pastor Max Ware and Pastor Tim Jones, as they offer a word during our celebration.  Here is my church's address:

First Church of God
3480 Refugee Rd.
Columbus, OH 43232
Service times: 9:00am and 11am

Don't forget to "spring forward" by setting your clocks one hour ahead before you go to sleep tonight.

Living with shame/guilt

Hey everyone,

After having a great weekend, I was kind of groggy this morning so I decided to watch church online instead of getting up and going.  I am kicking myself now because I missed the atmosphere of great message that my bishop taught.  Today's lesson was on living with guilt and shame.  I needed this message the most because I realized that I am still carrying the shame of making a bad decision last year.  I even talked about this mistake again this weekend in saying how bad of a mistake I made and I cant believe that I done that. 

However; though my lesson, I realized that I have often asked for God's forgiveness but I have yet to forgive myself.   That is one of my greatest yet simple hurdles to get over.  In my devotion, when I lay my issues before God, I am forgiven.  Therefore; I need to forgive myself in the same manner.  Stop over thinking the situation and let it go!! 

As always, you can read my blog at www.wtmhgospelradio.blogspot.com and you can email me at wtmhgospelblog@gmail.com with any request or responses.

Stay blessed and I look forward to chatting with you.

Scripture of the week:

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness; according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
