Chanda’s Mom is back home now. Her foot is finally healing and the steroids they put her on are helping her breathing get better too. Thank you to all of you who have been keeping Deb and me and my wife in your prayers. Be blessed! -Bro Derek-
P.S. Please keep praying that I would find a new job. Thanks.
Chandas Mom Deb had to go back into the hospital the other night due to a fever. When they arrived at the hospital they removed her cast and found that her foot was infected where they had done the surgery and they think it may have entered her bones. The results of an MRI also indicated a blood clot or pnemonia on her lungs which is why she has been having trouble breathing. Please keep praying for her complete and swift recovery and that her HMO will not send her back to a nursing home where she cannot get the proper treatment she needs. Thanks.
I just wanted to take a minute to share about my experience with God as my provider. In 2006 there were three or four months something like April, May, June, and part of July I think that my wife and I did not have work, and were not receiving any type of compensation, or pay. Guess what. God came through. We have almost $1,000 in bills every month maybe a little more, not including gas for our vehicle, and other living expenses and all of it was taken care of! Even though times are hard now, I know because of my experience that I can REALLY trust God.
About two weeks ago, I made a list of things that Chanda and I needed. It was something like this:
Rent, Cellphone Bill, Insurance, Gas Money.
Hamburger, Chicken, Oatmeal, Coffeemate, Tomatoes Juice, Pop, Coffee, Butter, Bread.
Deodorant, Bodywash, Toiletpaper.
I asked for a tiller to till a garden and for plants for a garden and for a lawnmower because my old one broke down.
Within about a week, the things I had asked God for began coming in. From different people, and different sources and it was awesome! It was a miracle because I know that God had led those people to help us out. Our landlords let us use their tiller, and my Dad gave me a mower for free! Let me tell you, you really can trust God.
Mark 11:24 “….what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”
Matthew 6:23-34 The Lilies of the Valley
Take no thought for tomorrow. What you shall eat, what you shall drink, what you shall wear.
If God feeds the sparrow, he will feed you. If God clothes the Lily, he will clothe you.
How much more important are you than the Sparrows and the Lilies?
This is a promise. You can stand on it, and take it to the bank!
The only condition is in v.33
Seek first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness, then all these things will be added unto you.
So if you are living right, then you don’t have anything to fear because God has not given us a spirit of Fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Please pray for Chanda’s Mom Deb. She had surgery yesterday on her Achilles Tendon. She spent the night at the hospital last night, and she will be spending the night there again tonight. It was supposed to be an outpatient surgery or at least a short stay I think. Deb said that the pain was an 11 on a pain scale of 1 to 10. She said that it was worse than child birth. They have been giving her Morphine every hour and she is afraid that they may have done something wrong. Thanks.
I need it. I thought all along that it was God’s will for me to go back to work at Honda. Now that I lost my job on April 10th I don’t know what to do. I still have restrictions on my elbows, and they still hurt when I do stuff. Even though I haven’t received any pay or compensation for a little over a month now, our rent is paid, and we have been blessed with the necessities of life. Please pray for God to guide and direct me and that he would show us the next step. Thanks.
Sadly, Mike Huckabee dropped out of the race last week after John McCain got the delegates he needed. I feel that it is all the medias fault. The way that they never gave Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul or any of the other conservative republican candidates a fair shot. They never gave them as much air time as Hillary and Obama, and their strategy paid off. I guess that is what happens when big companies or corporations buy out all the little guys and make a monopoly out of the printing presses and the newsrooms that we get our biased information from. And we all take it hook, line, and sinker. We actually believe that on the first night of the primaries that Mitt Romney was ahead of Mike Huckabbee when he wasn’t. But that is what CBS and Katie Couric told us. But we found out when Mitt Romney was behind in delegates the next day when he dropped out. Well some of us figured it out and some didn’t. Anyhow, I am still going to vote. And I am going to vote for John McCain. He was my last choice next to Sam Brownback, and Mike Huckabee but he is still a conservative and he is still republican and his voting record lines up with my morals and values. But if my passion about this election is gone, I don’t know why.
Just 24 hours until the polls open here in Ohio and it is predicted that over 52% of registered voters will turn out. The liberal media believes that Ohioans will vote Democratic again this election, but there is a wind blowing. I think that the wind is blowing to the right. A strong right and is going to stir up the remnant of those who voted republican in the last 10 or so elections and that those people, some with moral convictions like “The Right of Life” and “The Sanctity of Marriage” will join me today on March, 4 2008 in voting for Mike Huckabee.

Like it or not, Mike is back and he is hotter than ever. Just look at last nights poll results where he took the southern states by storm. Good bye Mitt Romney, Hello Mike. Why is Mike so likeable? Because of his stance on moral issues like the Sanctity of Marriage, and the Right of Life for everyone. He has a 9 point strategy to help secure our borders, he is proposing a veterans bill of rights, and has a comprehensive plan to boost our economy. Mike Huckabee is the current governor of Arkansas and was a former Baptist Pastor and Denominational leader and his experience is what makes him the best candidate for President of the United States.
Vote for Mike Huckabee!

Hope you all had a wondeful holiday, Chanda and I sure did. We celebrated her birthday this week Jan 14th. Happy Birthday Chanda, I love you. We stayed at a hotel, went to see a movie, and went to the mall. Fun. Fun. Fun.
How about the Caucuses? Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, and John McCain all up for the nomination! It is still up in the air too. What do you guys think about it? I am still rooting for Mike Huckabee, if he doesnt make it I might vote for John McCain or Ron Paul.
On the CBS Evening News last night, they reported that on the latest polls Mike Huckabee has passed Rudy Guiliani for 2nd Place in Iowa. Mitt Romney is still in the lead but just barely. Mike is getting hot and with all the support he just might win the Iowa caucuses next week. Please take a look a him, his stance on the issues, and consider supporting his presidential campaign. Vote Mike Huckabee, President!
