Hey guys...Welcome to my blog... Ok, my beautiful wife didn't make me do it...Actually, she nudged me a little bit with remarks like, " If you dont write a blog, I'm gonna go to DSW and go shopping" and "I have a pocket full of credit cards and i am NOT afraid to use them", and my personal favorite, "Honey, you always talk a lot, why dont you give my ears a break and start blogging"....LOL .
Seriously, though... If you know my wife you know that she didnt say anything like that -- I kinda made all that stuff up. This blog thing may rekindle my passion for writing and maybe you'll find out something new about me that you didn't know or were afraid to ask.
For starters, the title of my blog is JOE 3:16, primarily because one day as I was being me... I thought about how I could apply John 3:16 personally to my life. You know the scripture that says , "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
What I wanted to do was place my name into that passage and imagine that if I were the only person alive, that God would've still sent Jesus to attone for all of my sins and that he had so willingly chosen to love on such a grand scale. I don't want you to guess how the verse would've read, but I imagined it something like this:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, [so] that [joe] should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Sometimes, I will admit that I have a tendency to doubt that God could love somebody like me, but I'm so glad he does. Joe 3:16 may sound like its about me, but it's really not... It's REALLY about Him doing His thing in me!!!
Be encouraged...More to come later, Lord-willing!
