An image for a blog that I hope will take root. Prompt: Today is Good Friday. What are you doing today to remember the Lord's sacrifice?

I am chaplain of the West Virginia Veteran's Home. The faithful here and I are gathering at 6:30PM to hold a special devotional. Tomorrow night we will hold our regular prayer meeting.

An image for a blog that I hope will take root. Prompt: Jesus said we should love everybody. Does this mean we must love Satan?

I believe it does. We are not to obey Satan but we are to love him. He is after all a fellow creature of God.

Image for BCOF members to put in their blogs Hemingway was famous for his six word memoir "For sale:baby shoes, never worn." Now, it's your turn to create a six word story. Have fun!

Writer's block: my mind is blank.

An image for a blog that I hope will take root. Prompt: What are you doing to serve Christ?

I am a soldier in the Salvation Army. A soldier is a person who has been saved and decided to dedicate their entire life to Jesus Christ by signing a covenant which guides daily life. The covenant specifically names worldly habits that we must avoid such as alcohol and other drugs, gambling, fornication, pornography, and other such worldly pleasures. A soldier volunteers to become a servant of the Lord and to follow the orders of the officers over them. It is a strict way of life that I love.

I am also a student at Marshall University, where I am completing my Regents Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis in Psychology. I plan to become a drug abuse counselor and combat the addiction around me while working with various churches.

An image for a blog that I hope will take root. What does Philippians 4:13 mean to you?

My favorite verse in all of Paul's writing, and possibly in the Bible, is Philippians 4:13. It says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

You see I have a mental illness known as bi-polar disorder and like most mental illnesses it is accompanied by a second illness called Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Bi-polar disorder is disabling and often left me flat on my back with depression or acting wildly with manic energy. The anxiety disorder often leaves me with chest pains mimicking a heart attack as well as a lot of anguish. I have learned however that the key to overcoming the symptoms of anxiety is to cast my cares upon Jesus Christ. I really can do all things through Him. I find that the worst anxiety attacks and even the mood swings that accompany bi-polar disorder respond to that name. Yes, I still take medications. I feel that God uses doctors. However the day to day symptoms are only relieved by prayer.

Image for BCOF members to put in their blogs "Prompt: What is your favorite poem? Who is your favorite poet?"

Who is my favorite poet? Me of course! No seriously my favorite poem is Robert Frost and my favorite poem is "Snowy Evening in the Deep Woods", although I also like "The Path Less Traveled."

Both of these poems have meaning and heart, although "The Path Less Traveled" has a lot more philosophical meaning. We all like the easy roads and this poem tells us there is a lot to be gained by taking the tougher roads. I tell people all the time that humans are like plants. We need a good helping of manure in order to grow.
