Three times in three months three years ago, I faced medical situations that could have easily spelled the end of this earthly life for me. Three times in three months three years ago, the faithful prayers offered on my behalf coupled with God’s mercy spared me from excess pain and an early death. Three times in three months three years ago, my very existence depended upon the prayers of many people here at Christian Blog.

2009 was indeed a year I will never forget. Not only was I spared three times in three months from the jaws of death, my dearest friend on this site was spared from what could have and should have been certain death due to a brain aneurism. 2009 also marked the one and only time many of us on this site gathered to celebrate communion.

As incredible as the miracles mentioned above were, what I remember most about 2009 was a series of trips I made to visit and minister to some on this site as well as a visit here to the B2Y ranch by two of my closest friends I met on this site. Without question, the year 2009 was one of the most interesting years of my life and to a large degree it was the friendships I made on this site which made it so.

Although many people scold me for not being a member of any church, in my heart I know that my “church” is Christian Blog. Although there are no worship services here, this site helps strengthen my relationship with God and allows me to worship Him more and more. Although this site does not gather together physically, the “cyber fellowship” it provides is a blessing and source of inspiration to both myself and my wife Blest.

Over the years I have been blasted as being arrogant, aloof, selfish, mean spirited, a promoter of devilish doctrines and only interested in promoting my own agenda. For reasons unknown to me, many people have left this site due to what I write about, do or don’t do here. Despite my attempt to be a blessing to people, to some I have been and remain the antichrist or false prophet.

I have chosen to ignore those who falsely accuse me of things I never did and focus on those God has blessed through what I write. I have chosen to not allow the fiery darts thrown at me by those intent on hurting me to bring me down. I have chosen instead to keep writing, praying for and seeking to bless those God allows me to minister to.

For those of you have chosen to be my friends, I wanted to thank you for all your prayers over the years as well as the joy of friendship and fellowship in the spirit we enjoy. Thank you for not allowing the enemy to drive a wedge between our hearts. I thank God for everyone reading this and I pray that in all ways I am allowed to remain a Blessing 2 You.
