Amen, Linda! and may I humbly ask: Is there anything too hard for God?
No, for With God All Things Are Possible.

Hey Travis,
I guess I missed your last message, I'll go back and look. We would love to join you for dinner, but I won't be back in Statesboro until the end of the first week in August. I gotta finish these two grad classes, and then I have to go straight to the Minister's meetings in Georgia. I will contact you though as soon as I get back. Thanks so much for the invite. Have a great weekend!!

Hi Bobby:

"Stuffed with Junk" is so true and really hits close to home. did you get my last message? It was sent about 7 or 8 days ago, just before I went on vacation. I was thinking that you and your wife could join Tanya and I for dinner one evening in Statesboro.

Greetings ya'll,
I haven't been taking care of my business lately. I'm so busy, and so stressed. I'm currently taking two Graduate Summer Intensive classes, so I'm doing a lot of studying and writing. Anyway, I got this email from my sister and just wanted to share it with everyone. I hope it blesses you. Have a great weekend.
Peace,
Bobby


STUFFED WITH JUNK

By Ron Hutchcraft

The other day one of our team members shared a discovery she made during the remodeling of her kitchen. The counter top had been removed, and as she looked into this little 6"x8" drawer by the sink, she saw that it was completely stuffed - with like "stuff!" She realized that for 24 years she had been sticking things into that drawer: twist ties, rubber bands - you know, everything. There were some useful things in the back, but they were inaccessible because of all the "stuff." It had been a long time since the drawer had been opened very much; our friend just crammed things into it and occasionally pulled it open an inch or two to use something out of it. But looking down on it all from above, she was surprised to see what was in there. Almost everything in that drawer could be thrown away, but it had been accumulating for years. And that drawer was much more useful now that it was emptied out.
You've got to wonder what God sees when He looks down on the contents of our life. The "top" is always off as far as His view of us is concerned. He sees directly into our heart, our motives, our every thought. And all too often, our life and our heart are cluttered with "stuff" - things we've filled our life with that are simply unnecessary to Him, useless to Him; actually limiting our usefulness to Him.
Some of us won't realize how useless a lot of our life has been until it's too late to do anything about it; we'll wait until the Judgment Seat of Christ. Paul talks about it in 1 Corinthians 3, beginning with verse 11. It's our word for today from the Word of God. He says, "No one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones..." That's filling our life with things that will last, that have eternal significance. He goes on to say, "wood, hay, or straw" - those are things that are just "stuff" - "his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light...the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames."
You get one life. You can fill it with things that really matter or things that really don't. With things that will last forever, and often what this world stresses as being important is really just "stuff." And what Jesus says is important, our world thinks isn't much.
So when the Lord looks down inside your life, is it crammed with a lot of "stuff" that just doesn't mean much? A lot of time in front of a television, hours on the Internet, listening to music, talking on the phone, following sports, pouring yourself into causes and diversions that just won't matter much in eternity at all? It's not that these things are necessarily bad. The problem is when "stuff" that should be peripheral becomes central in your life. That's when it's time to reevaluate your priorities. It's time to see your life through God's eyes, and clean out what's not useful - the trivial pursuits.
When you do, you become so much more useful to your Lord. And the more you fall in love with Him, the less you'll be stuffing your hours, your days, your mind and your heart with "stuff." You'll be about what Jesus is about. You'll be as He said, "seeking first the Kingdom of God " (Matthew 6:33).

In August of 1980 I managed to land myself in a federal penetentiary. It was a very dark time in my life. However, it was there in that place that I would finally come face to face with this Jesus which I had heard so much about, but didn't believe He could or would ever love me. But I was in a time of crisis, and through a series of circumstances and God's devine intervention I wound up on my knees in the prison Chaplain's office, where I bawled like a baby. Those tears and God's forgiveness changed my whole aspect on life and caused me to see the world in an entirely different light. This song is just a song of thanks to the God who waited so patiently for me to turn around. I deserve none of His goodness, and yet He died the death that should have been mine so that I might live the life that should have been His. What an amazing God. This isn't a very good recording, but I hope it blesses someone, as Jesus has blessed me. If I seem to have a southern, Hillbilly accent its because I do.
Peace Ya'll
Bobby
