Dear Larry, Did you notice the regret in the voice of John Madden last night as he described being away from his family for 20 consecutive Thanksgiving Holidays? (A Football Life, Pat Summerall)   Use your freewill choice to honor your family as a top priority in your life.   Right after your love for God, place your love for your family and you will reduce your regrets in life.   God has given you self-control, use it to use moderation in terms of eating, drinking and working. Love Jesus

Dear Larry, Your broken knee.  Your intense pain in your joints.  Your torn hamstring in the other leg.  You drag yourself along like a grasshopper with a leg pulled off.  Is this pointing to the end of your life?  Don’t worry about the end of your life.   God only knows.   Just use each day to help people the best you can and trust your life to the grace, mercy and peace of God in Me and things will work out fine. Love, Jesus

Dig.   What is necessary for the very best kind of work is to dig.   Sometimes it is to dig through barriers.   When Jesus was teaching once there was a large crowd and some guys wanted to get their friend close to Him. They dug through the roof of the house and let their friend down in front of Jesus. The roof was a barrier to what they wanted to happen between their friend and Jesus.   People who have helped me get close to Jesus and stay there have had to have radical commitment to the process. What are my barriers? Philippians 3. 7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in[a] Christ—the righteousn...

Dear Larry, Don’t follow people who claim to show you God by going into a smoke filled tent or auditorium.   Follow Me in service to children and the weak and sick and you will see God at work. Love Jesus

Dear Larry, Don’t worry about the number of lying through their teeth television preachers in LA or Atlanta or Dallas or Nashville.   People want to have celebrity preachers to tell them what they want to hear.   Its’ always been this way.   Don’t forget that you, as a preacher, have sinned many times in the bad motivation in your heart.   Your salvation is by God’s grace, mercy and peace.   Our Father is a forgiving God.
