How A Bucket of Chicken Saved A Life!!!

So tonight I decided to go to the city council meeting with Ronny Johnson from the Kids Can Campaign. On the way he stops at KFC and I’m thinking why this Kentucky Fried Chicken…They are also running out of you guessed it CHICKEN! How Can a KFC run out of Chicken? So Ronny orders his food and we sit down. About 10 minutes pass and a guy walks out of the bathroom and asks me if I work there. Of Course I give him a crazy look because I don’t have on a uniform. The next words out of his mouth is call 911, I’m having a heart-attack. So Ronny grabs his phone and I walk up to the counter and tell the girl to get a manager. The fire-truck pulled up, followed by the ambulance and they saved the man. The whole situation got me thinking what if I had not been there!

I guess Church is a lot like KFC, you can’t give up on it simply because some members sometimes run out of kindness or compassion. And just like me you might not have on a uniform but you can help save somebody’s life by you just being there!!!

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Peter: this name signifies a rock  

– And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Give up the Two Dollars!!!

Uncle– Are you happy that your great aunt just gave you 2 dollars?

7 year old Nephew- Yeah.

Uncle– Give me the two dollars.

7 year old Nephew– HERE.

Uncle–(Laughs) I don’t want your two dollars, you keep that…it’s for you.

What is so awesome is that the little boy cared about the money but he was willing to give it to his Uncle because he totally trusted him unconditionally. I mean there was absolutely no hesitation in the boys answer . HERE. He said it so quickly, no thought of his ownership of his two dollars or what his Uncle wanted to do with the money. Not gripe that the Uncle did not give him the money. He was completely ready to surrender all he owned to his Uncle no questions asked.

Immediately, I felt ashamed because when I first got saved, I was that little boy. But somewhere along the way I gained a ton of religion and a pound of pride. I began to hesitate or doubt because I heard other voices. Yeah, I tell myself I’m giving God my all but I pause… Instead of my just saying HERE. My answer to God is Why or are your sure Lord.

But when I truly trust God with NO pause NO reasoning, He always lets me keep my two dollars and gets me some McDonald’s.

Genesis 22:1-3Genesis 22:1-3
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
22 ¹ And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. Behold...: Heb. Behold me ² And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. ³ And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.  

After these things God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.” 2 He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mori’ah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
