NOT TODAY JUNIOR!!! IT'S MY BLOG SO I CAN CRY IF WANT TO! Anywho this weekend was a lot like last one.....  The cool parts were Carrie and I had a random chance able to hang with the Dyer's Friday.  I was really blessed by yesterday's chaplaincy meeting.  I was really blessed to hear about the restoritive justice program....I saw a flyer for Winona County looking for volunteers and was praying about and had many questions that were answered yesterday.... &lt;br /&gt;Then I went to work....bumbumbuh!!!!&lt;br /&gt;It was supposed to be busy and we usually have six cooks on the line.  The some circumstances out of my control we were wittled to four good cooks.... What was alright I can deal with it.((it's the foodservice you learn to make do(and God is still on throne even if I am short two cooks)so how do you like the parenthesis?))  Then it got crazy, our main drain,(let's all be adults here....) that is connected to the hotel froze backing up the whole system.  We soon hand standing water in the resteraunt(Sp?) I had cooks walking in 2-3" on water....oh yeah.... too make a long story short several shop vacs full of water, a few confrontations, and couple of  phone calls later finally we got a plumber and he was able to get the drains snaked... Disaster diverted...  Then I was able to go sleep with my two faithful kitties...&lt;br /&gt;So I woke up this morning made some coffee and thought finally I get to sit through a Bible study in Menomonie, Praise God.(I missed last Sunday and Wednesday because of the weather.) I went out started the car, got some donuts, and started heading for Jesus Fellowship when I heard a strange noise.... caaarap it is a flat tire... Oh Well, I smiled to myself thinking I will just change it out and try to brave it on the spare...  I started jacking up the car and something didn't seem quite right so I started letting it down.... Meanwhile... I see a vehicle that looks a lot like someone I know drive pass me... I then ponder if it was him or not... yep.. has Wisconsin License Plates....must be... Then I finish letting the car down I get to the bottom and my jack snaps in half.... Not so good what do I do now?  Well, you look at your back tire and see that is flat too!! Sooo, I wait for help... no help.  I have no choice but to drive on it....I drive a little ways and then the heavens open up and I see house that has three extra large Garages.  I bet &lt;strong&gt;He&lt;/strong&gt; has a hydraulic jack... he did and came and helped me out...&lt;br /&gt;I just got a hold of Carrie on the phone.  I'm still alive and God is still good.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                                      Ta Ta Fa na....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-5078991668323066262?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/5078991668323066262/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=5078991668323066262&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/5078991668323066262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/5078991668323066262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2007/03/crazy-weekend-iiback-with-vengence.html' title='Crazy Weekend II....back with a vengence!'/><author><name>Ryobi4jesus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09398152065550538338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/204352824_6e48b68076_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28567001.post-1053835226911983248</id><published>2007-03-01T21:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-03-01T21:14:53.519-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Decemberists</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oBzr0caQAdQ"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oBzr0caQAdQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This band here is one of my new found favorites... they are talented.

I feel like my life is a big country song....  I just got my wife back, my car's gone, and everything is mess, but somewhere in the song they mention God... i.e Jesus take the wheel, Black train&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just got my wife back..... On Friday my wife asked me what I thoughrabout her doing ome radio work.  "Sure," I replied knowing that the Radio Ministry has a very small window to try to get things done.  She asked about the weather....I figured the weather was going to be wrong again.  Like it was two days before hand when it was 50 degrees.  Then it snowed... mi espouso couldn't even attempt to make it home safely until this morning...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My car is gone...  Friday, after I looked outside and it was clear, no snow. Then two hours later checked again and 6-7" fell, I thought, "crap was I wrong"...  Well at least I get to make it to my nice warm house... Not sooo.... I drove a 1 1/2 miles up the road(from Perkin's)and my car took a poop.  Then I walked to Mike's house and asked for a ride home (which was an adventure in itself) There was nothing that I could do, in the weather, to rescue my car.  The next morning when Mike picked me up for work... he told me that it was still there... I was so happy... but as we got closer we saw that there were two tow trucks next where my car is supposed to be... &lt;br /&gt;(I say supposed to be because my car was nowhere to be seen... just a mountain of snow because it was plowed in) Mike asked me if I wanted to stop... I said no because the two tow truck drivers earned their $80 by digging the American Dream (my car) out from all of that snow....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything is a mess, but they mention God...  So being that my other half was in Menomonie, I stole rides from Mike all weekend, Sunday I ended my shift at "The Perk"&lt;br /&gt;at 12am, I decided that I should walk home.  Home from "The Perk" is about 5-6 miles away... it wasn't snowing and there wasn't a wind and I didn't want to wear out my welcome with my friends that were so nice to me... I dreaded it, but a man has to do what a man has to do... It was a great walk and I was so blessed looking and seeing the way that the snow was clinging to the trees.  There were places where people used a snow blower and the snow level was at my hip.  Along the walk there were places where people didn't finish the sidewalk out to the road and I had to scale a big mountain of snow(I was laughing because I felt like I was in third grade)  &lt;br /&gt;My favorite part of the walk altogether was this spot where bunch of rich people live a long the lake and they have these big English Contemporary houses.  At this house they have two pillars and on the top, lamps.  Then systematically up to the house along the drive and past the guest house that had more lamp posts...and the lamps gave light to these cool trees about 8" tall that collected the snow on their limbs... it was picture perfect... I almost felt like I was in the Chronicles of Narnia, where there is snow everywhere and then there is a lamp in the middle of nowhere.  &lt;br /&gt;Altogether it was a crazy weekend with all this snow, but it was a lot of fun in the same aspect...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-7439669152596931164?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/7439669152596931164/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=7439669152596931164&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/7439669152596931164'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/7439669152596931164'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2007/02/let-it-snow.html' title='Let it snow.....'/><author><name>Ryobi4jesus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09398152065550538338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/204352824_6e48b68076_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28567001.post-4186109504027220030</id><published>2007-02-14T14:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-12T22:42:25.942-08:00</updated><title type='text'>V is fro Valentine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_32M1ojMYolc/RdOO7-qSGyI/AAAAAAAAAAY/yrU-rzDS9o8/s1600-h/AF004501.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031522369786747682" style="DISPLAY: block;

Recently the " Big guy on campus" (EHLTB) and I had a conversation about Global Warming...... How we got on the subject I don't know...... But he said he saw an Old SNL where Dennis Miller talked about how everyone was worried about it being too cold and that we were going to freeze. So EHLTB thought what if the Earth just goes through cycles and that is how God made it..... there was more wisdom to that then what we know...... the following is an editorial in the Winona "free" paper......bear with me.... I think this is funny......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is amazing that so many people believe global warming is caused by humans. This myth has been largely promoted by the major media that gives much attention to those who support it and very little to hose who debunk it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For example, in December, Senator James Inholfe of O.K. Chaired a " Climate change and the Media" meeting. He states that global warming is a hoax. the meeting received almost or no major media attention."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"At this meeting, Dr. David Deming, a geophysicist at the University of Okalahoma, stated, " I was contacted by a reporter for N.P.R.. He offered to interview me, but only if I would state that the warming was due to human activity. When I refused to do so, he hung up on me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Deming also said that he received an astonishing e-mail from a major researsher in climate change that read," We have to get rid of the Mideval Warm Period where the world was warm or warmer that it is today. But it is an obstacle to those maintaining that the current warming trend is abnormal. People who want to hear the other side can go to &lt;a href="http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p41.htm"&gt;http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p41.htm&lt;/a&gt; for a scientific debunking of global warming. Also, listed are names of more than 17,000 scientists. meteorologists, adn other technical people who have sihned a petitiom stating there is convincing scientific evidence to support global warming" ----Robert W. Van deWolfe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry fro such a serious post, but it just goes to show that sometimes the media rules in the U.S. if it is the truth or not...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-6643594140016555149?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/6643594140016555149/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=6643594140016555149&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/6643594140016555149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/6643594140016555149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2007/01/post-of-century.html' title='Post of the Century!!!!!'/><author><name>Ryobi4jesus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09398152065550538338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/204352824_6e48b68076_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28567001.post-116069480883772479</id><published>2006-10-12T16:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-12T16:14:45.326-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>And I thought to myself......self what happens when you don't know when to walk away?

I was stoked that we had at least one more person coming on board, Caitlin who moved here to go to W.S.U.  (Who by the way has turned into a total blessing and has hit the ground running....pray for her)  So I knew that there were going to be at least 5 Jesus Freaks hitting up the Thursday Bible Study.  So as I sit back and I am praying about the study I asked God what he wanted us to do with campus because it has kind of fizzled out and it seemed he was leading us away from campus....or so I thought.  I was asked what I thought about doing the study on campus....I thought we can do it a couple of times see if anyone shows up if not we can always move it.  The girls came up with the idea to chalk for the study....these are things that we have done in the past nothing different........but that was in Ryan's timing......not God's......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we started the study last week I expected it just to be the solid quintet, but low and behold we sat down and we had a lot of people pop in on the study.....we had seven new people.....so I asked, How did you find out about the study? They replied," the chalkings" how sweet is that.  So we ventured through Colossians Chapter 2 tonight, we had three of the same faces and a new one....so God blessed us again.....how cool is that?  I would ask that for your prayers that I would continue to teach solid Bible Studies and pray for some of the Bible Study attendees because they are getting smacked around a bit......however Paul does talk a little about that in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Romans 5:3-5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;" class="vnum"&gt;. " &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us-they help us learn to endure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;" class="vnum"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Rom&amp;chapter=5&amp;amp;translation=nltp&amp;x=13&amp;amp;y=15#" onclick="return keepMe('http://www.blb.org/cgi-bin/popup.pl?book=Rom&amp;chapter=5&amp;verse=4&amp;verion=nlt');"&gt;4&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;" class="vnum"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Rom&amp;chapter=5&amp;amp;translation=nltp&amp;x=13&amp;amp;y=15#" onclick="return keepMe('http://www.blb.org/cgi-bin/popup.pl?book=Rom&amp;chapter=5&amp;verse=5&amp;verion=nlt');"&gt;5&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I know that a lot of you fervently pray for us......I just want to thank you for your prayers.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-115829184626619158?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/115829184626619158/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=115829184626619158&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115829184626619158'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115829184626619158'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2006/09/bible-study.html' title='Bible Study!'/><author><name>Ryobi4jesus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09398152065550538338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/204352824_6e48b68076_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28567001.post-115652681777111611</id><published>2006-08-25T10:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-25T10:26:57.790-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>........&lt;a href="http://kittys.ytmnd.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Kitty!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  that'all I have to say for now.......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-115652681777111611?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/115652681777111611/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=115652681777111611&amp;isPopup=true' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115652681777111611'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115652681777111611'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2006/08/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>Ryobi4jesus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09398152065550538338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/204352824_6e48b68076_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28567001.post-115625991859417474</id><published>2006-08-22T06:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-22T08:18:38.636-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Some of you might know this by now and if don't know you betta ax somebodeeee!

Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb     towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the     monkeys with cold water. After awhile, another monkey makes an attempt     with the same result - all the monkeys are sprayed with cold water.     Pretty soon, if another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other     monkeys will try to prevent it.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Now, turn off the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and     replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to     climb the stairs. To his horror, all of the other monkeys attack him.     After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb     the stairs, he will be assaulted.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it     with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The     previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm. Again,     replace a third original monkey with a new one. The new one makes it to     the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four monkeys that beat     him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or     why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. After     replacing the fourth and fifth original monkeys, all the monkeys that     have been sprayed with cold water have been replaced. Nevertheless, no     monkey ever again approaches the stairs.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Why not? Because that is the way it has always been.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-115377206247828903?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/115377206247828903/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=115377206247828903&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115377206247828903'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115377206247828903'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2006/07/things-that-you-dont-know-about.html' title='Things that you don&apos;t know about monkeys.....'/><author><name>Ryobi4jesus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09398152065550538338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/204352824_6e48b68076_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28567001.post-115351946261148105</id><published>2006-07-21T15:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-21T15:11:04.066-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2721/3028/1600/untitled.2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2721/3028/400/untitled.1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2721/3028/1600/untitled.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-115351946261148105?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/115351946261148105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=115351946261148105&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115351946261148105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115351946261148105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2006/07/blog-post_21.html' title=''/><author><name>Ryobi4jesus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09398152065550538338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/204352824_6e48b68076_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28567001.post-115327105544944509</id><published>2006-07-18T17:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T18:09:03.433-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Wow!

It was like just couple of brothers sitting down and talking about how  good God is and what he's done for them.....this was happening in JAMES!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately that has been the feel for the study, where I am teaching and it is a natural discussion and it has been a total blessing to me.  My style of teaching has totally changed.  My conviction, as a teacher has gone from," I wonder what I can pick out of here to really bring home to these guys so they can be convicted and move forward in a relationship."  Which was very stressful to me, if you notice there were alot of I's and a me, and it left doubting my ability as a teacher and if I was called at all.  Now, I just study and do my part and relax....it has nothing to do with me.  It isn't my job to convict and set people on the path to  a closer walk with Christ......that is God's responsiblity.  It is so freeing to come to that understanding and it has only taken me 6 years of teaching through the Bible....Many people have spoken of this, " just relax and let God take care of it."  In my mind I was like," That's what I am doing you know it all jerk."   But, it took me going through my mind, humbling myself and letting God take control that now I can relax and talk about how God good is.....and that he is good enough to do his own work.....in me and other people.  Good is good.....all the time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.  Please pray for us we might be building a new county jail.  The one we have, ask Mike, makes Pepin look like the Taj Mahal.  We still have the Andy Griffith bars and cells.  We would really thank you for your prayers for the jail and the ministry,  Thanks&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-115327105544944509?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/115327105544944509/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=115327105544944509&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115327105544944509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115327105544944509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2006/07/wow-yes-it-is-real-post.html' title='Wow!

I listen to someone teaching, but only take home a thought or a passage of scripture.  But asked what a year from now what they taught I wouldn't know however, I could tell you what I walked away with......&lt;br /&gt;God so hit, for me, two of my biggest down falls.  The golden nugget that I take home Yohannesburg's teaching was the definition of insanity........doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.  Basically, God loved me so much to jack me up and let me know that the way that I am trying to live my Christian life is insane!  "You do these things over and over again knowing that they don't bring glory to me, but that doesn't stop you from doing them over and over again in my name."  We all know these things.....it is basic.  But, I think this is why Peter says, four times in his epistles. "I bring these to your remembrance," here is the one that I was thinking about specifically.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I Peter 1:10-12," Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

It is equal in importance, but Stevo's study really showed my how much I missed Street Level,( which it is good that I miss Street Level)&lt;br /&gt;But I have to keep my eye's on the part of the wall that God has given me to take care of.&lt;br /&gt;God is so good at speaking to us through his word, I am blessed to be called one of his kids.........peace out......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-115172001482132332?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/115172001482132332/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=115172001482132332&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115172001482132332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/115172001482132332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2006/06/gold-nuggets.html' title='Gold Nuggets......'/><author><name>Ryobi4jesus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09398152065550538338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/204352824_6e48b68076_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28567001.post-115084051804633456</id><published>2006-06-20T14:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-20T14:56:16.026-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Who woulda knew?</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="350"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;td bg="" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;You Are Fozzie Bear&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#dddddd"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.blogthings.com/themuppetpersonalitytest/fozzie.jpg" height="100" width="100" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Wocka!

Coming off of hearing about putting on our Jesus clothes, to learning about locusts and the side effects that come with refusal to put your Jesus clothes on, and the week will end with JFB-Winona covering on the whole armor of God in Ephesians 6.  These are the things that make you go hmmm...  So as I sat down to study Ephesians I picked up a commentary by Theodore Epp and he said something that was really profound about many Christians forget about...or at least I do.  I will paraphrase what he said.  He spoke of how we know that we are in a spiritual battle and there is a battle that is going on beyond the naked eye.  What caught my eye the most was this," we fight this spirtual battle as though as we still have to obtain a victory, but we already have victory through Jesus Christ."  I sat there and thought to myself, wow....that would really change the way that a person leads their life.  Yes it would, in would be the difference of being a nominal Christian and a sold out, victorious Christian.  I'm pretty sure that this is the difference Amy Carmichael, Jim Elliot, D.L. Moody, and the  Charles Spurgeons' of the world and a person that is just fulfilling a requirement.  God is so good to us, not only did he come and die for us so that we could be with him forever, but he also gave us the tools and the power to live a victorious Christian life...... If you ever get a chance to check out the book " They found the  Secret."  This is just something that God is talking to me about.

I am pretty excited to be able to fellowship with people that I only get a blurp of a moment to see and hang with.  I'm looking forward to see what God is going to do over the weekend as we dip into Colossians.  For me God has really been speaking to me about a personal relationship.&lt;br /&gt;Right now, every now is probably thinkin' blah, blah, blah.  It is pretty easy to hear personal relationship and tune out the rest because you automatically think (if you are a Christian) I already have a personal relationship with him, I'm a Christian.  What God is speaking to me about is having a real relationship with him.  Not a while I'm in the public's eye relationship, not a while I'm serving relationship, but an honest to goodness, he calls the shots all the time, personal relationship.  You know the kind of relationship that you read about the greats like Corrie Tenboom, George Mueller, Andrew Murray, James the Lord's brother, Paul, and Hudson Taylor had with the  Lord.  Where some of them literally lived minute by minute in prayer.  Where they were in the harshest environments, crazy postions, with great opposition, but they didn't care because they had Christ in their corner and were in the center of God's will.  This what God is speaking to me about and I know that this will be a time of growing and preparing for the next battle.  A staging for the next battle if you will, as Theodin said before the big battle at Helm's Deep," The breathe before the deep plunge."  I want to leave a legacy......God bless...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-114920537757949633?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/114920537757949633/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=114920537757949633&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/114920537757949633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/114920537757949633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2006/06/retreat-weekend.html' title='Retreat Weekend'/><author><name>Ryobi4jesus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09398152065550538338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/204352824_6e48b68076_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28567001.post-114891412754734841</id><published>2006-05-29T07:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-29T11:48:41.730-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Blogs....</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2721/3028/1600/ryan.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2721/3028/320/ryan.1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just noticed how I fall short in the blog area.

I know... everybody is so sick of hearing of the media that goes with this.  I am the kind of guy that purposely ignores the going ons with this kind of stuff.  I phased out The Da Vinci Code until now.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day I was listening to one of the two good( I'm being generous with good) radio stations here in Winona, and a D.J. went to the theater to see the movie and what all the hub-bub was about.  After the movie he returned to his car to find a flyer underneath a windshield wiper.  Picking up the wiper, he started to read the flyer, it was deposited by a local church telling him that was going to burn in hell for seeing the movie.....I was immediatly angry.....chapter and verse please....my Bible says that not knowing Jesus as your Lord and Savior is what keeps from spending the rest of eternity with Christ.  The church should be ashamed for all the protesting and all of the different tactics that "Church People" use when this stuff comes down the pike.&lt;br /&gt;The best way that I have seen this handled was by a priest, from LaCrosse, on the television.  He said,"One thing have to remember that when we are getting bent out of shape on this Book and movie is that it is in the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;fiction section.&lt;/span&gt;"  We are supposed to be spreading the good news of Jesus's death and rescurrection and that if we believe in him and trust and what he did on the cross you can spend eternity with him.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt; putting flyers on people's windshields telling them they are going to hell for watching a movie.  If you don't like the movie don't go.....of you don't like the book don't read it.....it's just that simple....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28567001-114850316376223683?l=ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/feeds/114850316376223683/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28567001&amp;postID=114850316376223683&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/114850316376223683'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28567001/posts/default/114850316376223683'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ryobi4jesus.blogspot.com/2006/05/da-vinci-code.html' title='The Da Vinci Code'/><author><name>Ryobi4jesus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09398152065550538338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/204352824_6e48b68076_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28567001.post-114848698893511400</id><published>2006-05-24T08:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-24T09:09:48.943-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I am Franz!!!</title><content type='html'>So yesterday, as my wife soon will post, if she hasn't already,joined a gym.  This will be the first time that I have ever really lifted weights or ran for long periods of time on my own accord.  I am Looking forward getting into shape so I can walk/run from the bottom part of "The Munchies" to the offices without breathing like a walrus.  It's pretty cool because the Lord has been laying this on my heart for a long time   convicting me about taking care of my body. I know that when my time is up my time is up, but it will be nice to have more energy and actually be healthy for my stay here.  This will also be be benefit for when I am playing supevisor/bouncer on the overnights at P-Kins.
