Hi Buddy, you need to realise that you are a very special part of the body of christ and that you are needed and wanted. i am glad that you are allowing others to encourage and support you. As you learn to cast your cares upon the Lord, much of your anxiety will go away. One way that has helped me more than anything in my life is writing out my prayers to the Lord. Now type them and save them in my documents, but for mr it really helped me to cast my worries and cares upon the Lord. Talk to Him about everything, your feelings, your thoughts, your fears, your struggles. I don't do this all the time, but when i get stressed I do.
Let me say a prayer for you and show you what I mean.

Dear Father thank you for Buddy, thank you that you have allowed our paths to cross and you do not make mistakes in bringing people together. Father Buddy has a lot of stress and he needs help to get rid of it. Father will you show Buddy how much you love him today? Will you show him that he can put all his trust in you? Will you give him peace and strengthen and confort him today? Bless him, fill him and make him all you want him to be.
In Jesus name amen.
In the love of Jesus

Thanks for your prayers, it is good to see you back. My brother and sister are doing better and are out of the hospital. Winder is setting in here we have snow and the last 2 nights it has been dipping to 20 degrees. Every one around here is gearing up for the sky season. I do not or ever have skied even though i live next to one of the biggist sky resorts in the north east. It is called Killington with 6 mountains.

Today Buddy I pray that God would bless you in a very special way. You are special to Him and His love for you has never changed and never will. His love is not conditional, but is freely given. I am going to leave you with an awesome video about God's wonderful love.
In the love of Jesus

Good Morning Buddy, I declare to you that God is sooooo good. Thank you so much for you kind words.

We rest in the hope of seeing our beloved son one day soon. Keep your eyes on Jesus - he is the Only One who will not disappoint you, ever. It is so exciting being a child of God.

I have a brother who for years has been agnostic and I dared not say anything about Jesus to him. But, I continued to love him, pray for him and share the love of Jesus with him. He has COPD, which is a breathing desease, and almost died several weeks ago. But God was merciful and allowed him to remain with us. Last week he became comatose and again was flown to the hospital, where the drs have not been able to determine what went wrong. He was sent back home and called me on the 17th of this month. He asked me, in tears, to pray for him and said that he was scared. I asked him if he had asked Jesus into his heart and he said "I don't know how". To my tremendous joy, I was able to explain salvation to him and he prayed to ask Jesus into his heart. My husband said we better go and get him a Bible, which we did and shipped it out and he got it yesterday. And to hear him say that he "would cherish it" just said to me that God has used his illness to draw him to Himself. As I said before my mother was a saint and prayed for all of her children and, at last, the last one has been gathered in.

Sometimes we don't understand when we are going through tough times, but, we must remember that God is working out his plan as he said that he would. He is El Shadia-Almighty God.

Dear Brother, We are, indeed, Buddies forever when we have had a blood transfusion and the blood of our precious Jesus flows in our veins. We are brother and sister together in Christ.

God bless you, have a Jesus-filled day. Maranatha! Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus

Dear Buddy:

Thank you for the comments you added to my page. I used to wonder why I struggled so much with depression. Was it something I had done? Was it my parents' fault? If anything, it has grown compassion in me for others who battle depression also. I also know about anxiety and worry. The Word of God is living and active - sharper than a two edge sword, dividing soul and spirit (Hebrews 4:12). I struggle with renewing my mind, but I know as I ask the Holy Spirit to help me with this - I pray, Renew my Mind, like yours in kind oh Lord. Jesus knew what it was like to be tempted just like we are. He is the son of God, but he also lived in a human body, just as we do. He lives to intercede for you. He is our faithful high priest. When I was trying to do this on my own and had no network of support I was failing miserably. As my counselor said in 2007, if I can't trust the body of Christ, who can I trust? I am learning to walk one day at a time. I didn't get here overnight - 40 years of stuff. One thing I am learning about myself more and more is that I didn't learn to process as a child - I became a stuffer. There is a book by Don Colbert called Toxic Emotions. God loves his children so much. I pray that you will be encouraged and that you continue to reach into the Body of Christ. You will find strength in Him and in this journey with your brothers and sisters in Christ.

You are loved and there is HOPE in Jesus Christ.

Cindy C.

.Hi Buddy
Yes I have to admit that I have the gift of encouraging other. One time God spoke to me and told me I was one of his coaches. I really desire to help others find courage with the Lord to triumph in their lives.
We will all face troubles in our lives and we need to learn how to deal with these troubles so we are not crushed by them.
God has given in His word the wisdom, and also He has given the Holy Spirit to guide, to teach, to counsel. He is like some one who comes a long side of us and helps us. We also have one another.
We are never to walk alone as Christians, we are part of a body and we need each other. God made it this way.
I know us men especially think we are self sufficient.
God allows situations to come into our lives to show us that we need others in our lives.
You know we as Christians are commanded to love God and others.
You know also that the 10 commandments are divided into two sections? The first part, our relationship with God and the second our relationship with people.
Our God is such a loving wonderful God.

In the love of Jesus
Bob

Hi Buddy the song was Never Alone by Barlow Girl.
In the future if some one sends you a video on your page, all you have to do is double click on it and it will take you to you tube where it originated and you will find out who they are and also more videos by the same artist. that is awesome having great talent in your family.

Rachel Lampa - No Greater Love

Hey Buddy, Good to hear from you. God is so good, I hope you had a good thanksgiving . I spent the day with my brother Bo who is bed riddin for 3 months. He has a son Max who is 12 and is a great nephew. His 2 other children are grown up Danielle 20 and Tim 23. My kids weren't home for Thanksgiving and we are still greaving the loss of of some family members in the last year. So it was a little hard to deal with, but my mother, my sister in law and her mom are with the Lord. I know they are cheering us on in our race God has given us.
Buddy check out on Itunes which you can down load for free. they have christian radio with like a hundred different station.
I love this one that I have on when I am on line called The Heal Stream, see if you can locate it. I am trying to see if we can stream it on our pages.
Take care man of God you have a wonderful spirit about you and I pray that the Lord will touch you in a very special way today.

Good Day Buddy! I am well. I reccomend a book for you. "Healing is a Choice" by Stephen Arterburn. An excellent read. I am very fond of Joyce Meyer as well. She is a wonderful speaker and easy to relate to. I watch her any time I can.
I hope you are keeping up with the music. Hey, join a choir! I highly recomend it.
Your Brother in Christ,
journeymanhd

I am doing ok got sick once again but got to the doctor right away this time so it did not get out of hand. Had to put me back on steroids for 2 weeks and you pay a cost for it but it is keeping me alive untill I can get my lung transplants!

I know what you mean about some people being brutal. I call them toxic people and there is no reason for us to subject ourselves to abuse when we are adults and can just stay away from them. No one has a right to mistreat us, we are children of the King of Kings. It is hard to come to understand this when you have spent most of your life allowing others to mistreat us. Buddy you are a wonderful person and there are all kinds of people who love the Lord, who would love having you as a friend. In the love of Jesus
Bob

GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD. HIS LOVE
ENDURES FOREVER.
( PSALM 136:1 *NIV )

When we count all of our blessings we start to realize
how wonderful our Heavenly Father has been to us. For He not
only helps us in time of need, He blesses us abundantly as well.

Therefore we should; GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, CALL
ON HIS NAME; MAKE KNOWN AMONG THE NATIONS WHAT
HE HAS DONE. SING TO HIM, SING PRAISE TO HIM; TELL
OF HIS WONDERFUL ACTS. ( CHRONICLES 16:8-9 )

Further, why not start each day by counting your many
blessings, and sharing with others what God has done for you.
For King David did, for he wrote; I WILL GIVE YOU THANKS IN
THE GREAT ASSEMBLY; AMONG THRONGS OF PEOPLE I
WILL PRAISE YOU. ( PSALM 35:18 )

Be thankful for all that God has done for you, and
thank Him in your prayers! For then He will smile down on you,
like a proud Father would on an obedient child!


Now please know that: I THANK MY GOD EVERY TIME I
REMEMBER YOU. IN ALL MY PRAYERS FOR ALL OF YOU,
I ALWAYS PRAY WITH JOY. Amen.
( PHILIPPIANS 1:3-4 )

Hey Bro,
Good to hear from you, also great to heat you doing some work.
We are getting lots of winter this year. I had to crawl to church in a 4 wheel drive today. It is so funny almost every one was there.
We are hearty Vermonters as they say who never let a few feet of snow keep us down. lol Actually we just got maybe a foot.

Once again it is great to hear from you. Know that you are in my heart and my prayers.

In the love of Jesus
Bob
This a picture of my church, (The Brick Church)

Yea Buddy some times life is hard and things don't seem fair. I never asked God for a healing or even to make a way out of this for me because I brought myseft to this, all I asked of him was to walk close to me and let me feel his presence along the way. It was other people that prayed for a miracle for me and he provided it and I feel good about it because I did not ask for it. This is what I mean about talking and encourageing people you are not preaching at me you are sharing with me and that is where it is at. It says and they over came him with the blood of the lamb and THE WORD OF THEIR TESTAMONY and loving not their lives unto death! When Jusus spoke to people he spoke in parables and testamony it was mostly with the devil he would SAY FOR IT IT WRITTEN! I go to church at least 3 times a week if not more so I don't need people just preaching at me and being impersonal to me! You are doing a good thing here and I was going to delete my page here to but now I think not for the time being!

hi, jesus was a carpenter too. so get going and hope you find the love of your life.

Thank you and Ok...

Praise the Lord.....

Hi Buddy, ysterday at church we ministered to 3 carpenters after church. I alway wonder if Jesus has a fondness for carpenters.lol

Hi Brother, I know it is not easy to be a follower of Jesus Christ. I have been a follower for 34 years since I was 15 years old. Those early days were not easy.(Read my Story on my page) It was 2-9-79 that i went to a church service and was set free by the power of the Holy Spirit. Those first few years were up and down times for me, but after that night I was free to serve God. I was able to finally be free from drugs, alcohal, and smoking. I realized I had a heavenly helper in my life so I could overcome anything. i didn't have to try to do it myself.

Many people are all fixed up on the outside like a freshly painted house, but inside there is a lot of work to be done. This where the Holy Spirit comes to help us to get fixed up on the inside.

Buddy ask God to pour the Holy spirit out in your life. It is poured out into our hearts and then overflows into our whole lives. Holy Spirit will give you power to overcome everything.

In the love of Jesus
Bob

hello buddy4ever.

just passing by to say hello.

thank you for joining YOUTH CONVERGENCE..




Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;

meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.---JOSUE 1:8
Many people keep asking these things:



Yes... The secret of life was already revealed to all of us as written in Josue 1:8
before, i never knew about this because i was totally blinded by the god of this world
1 Cor. 4:3-4--And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
But to those who abide in His Words
remain standing firm, whatever storms in life encounter...
The Word of God ( The Holy Bible ) is the manual of our life...it's difficult to use something like a computer if we don't know how to operate it and not reading the manual of it... same as our life... it will be difficult for us to carry our cross in life if we don't know His words and God's promises...in which can be found only in the bible ... That's why we must read it day and night, meditate His words... for God can also speak to us thru His Words.. and God is the Word itself! Jn. 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
So what is the secret of life that remains secret to others?Joshua 1:8 (Amplified Bible)
1. This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night,
2. that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it.
3. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.

When we stop reading the bible, spiritual dryness comes...
then when here comes the trouble we can easily be defeated..

Today, as my kids watching Barney's show in TV.. which i saw a puppet show about the 3 little pigs who built their houses... I remember the Parable of the Two Builders ( Mt. 7:24-27 )Amplified Bible
So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a [a]sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock.
And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand.
And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell--and great and complete was the fall of it.
Yes.. truly, Oh Lord, i said that moment that You are my great foundation and the center of my life... Without You, Your Words how could i stand firm... upon reading and meditating your Words, You give me strength to overcome everything.. No matter how many wolves will attack me I am very much secure for I choose to be in the best Foundation, inside this house (my heart and my soul)it's YOU that i put at the Center...


So we must always read the bible,and meditate His Words..for God is giving us wisdom and knowledge, directing us to the right path.And giving us prosperity in all aspect of life.. preparing us to be a victorious Christian!!!

thank you for joining YOUTH CONVERGENCE..

Genesis 22:15-18
The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, "I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me." AMEN

Hi Buddy, no I am not familiar with the gentleman you mentioned from Alaska. It is good to hear from you, I hope all is well with you.
God is so good to us and we are so fortunate to have a relationship with Him. I am so blessed with a good church and a men's group I am apart of. Our meeting lasted until 2pm today and started at 9am.

Weds. I also teach a new believers class that starts at 5pm, then at 7pm is prayer meeting. So I am very busy on Weds. I love it all and get so refreshed in the Lord.

But I do not like the cold weather much and am freezing today. lol

I lost 95 lbs in the last 5 months so lost my winter insulation. lol

Be blessed Buddy!

In the love of Jesus
Bob

Hi Buddy,
Yes I have lost about 139lb as of 2 weeks ago when I was weighed last. I lost it in 9 months working with a doctor. I have a neurological problem that was made a lot worse because of the weight. I also got into a good men's group dealing with addictions. I plan on starting another men's group up in the near future dealing with addictions at night as the other group is during the day.

I am not sure which women group I sent to you. My favorite is Keri Jobe so i will sent a new video by her to you.

God bless you brother and it is good to hear from you.

In the love of Jesus
Bob

Actually it was a all female christian rock group from Indiana I think. I was just trying to scroll down to look at some of your past messages you had sent me to try to find them but this computer is not cooperating with.!! I have listening to this newest video you sent me and it its really wonderful...thankyou!!!!

Congratulations on your weight loss. I was thinking that you look so much like Paul Newman!!

I do not feel like i am any closer to God than when we first started comunicating
