DON'T BLINK

Life is short. When you are young it doesn't seem that way, but trust me it is! My best friend in the world (beside my wife) lost his father yesterday, and it makes me think. That means that my father could be next,and then us! Death is mysterious, suprising and quite often sudden and untimely, but it is absolutely unavoidable. The one sure thing about living, is that you are dying!

SO WHAT ARE YOU LIVING FOR? God put us in the wonderful position to be his hands and feet and give this girl a car. It changed her life!

I should have saved that money and bought me a flat screen t.v, or replaced my car, which after all is three years old!

I will have lots and lots of regrets in life but I hope they will be fewer and farther between. One thing is for sure, I will never regret this, and I will never regret following Jesus!

Subject: project-44
When I was a kindergartener, my dad became very ill and 3 years later
had a heart transplant. The physical limitations that came from this
hindered his ability to be able to work on a car for me or for our family
to be able to financially be able to acquire one. Through the work of
the incredible people who have now founded this organization and the
love of Christ, I was able to get a great car that I love! I'm very, very
excited and very much looking forward to being able to drive. I could
not possibly begin to thank them enough for such an amazing gift that
means so much to not only me, but my family. Equally as touching was the
way that it touched the people involved. To see my dad so happy that he
could see his youngest child get her first car was fantastic. I see
this organization not only helping people, but fully and completly
helping to change lives.

TRULY FOLLOW

We should never find ourselves waiting for death to take us away from a mediocre faith and into the arms of Jesus.
The gospel of Jesus and how we are to live surprisingly are the same thing. Why wait to see Jesus in Heaven when he is here with us now and we have the promise of the power of the Holy Spirit to show us his face. True faith shows us how to participate with God here and now. We were NOT sent here to occupy a pew and be pleasant. We have a God given mission! Believe it, receive it and embrace God. Do you think he sent you here so you could die and return to his presence? There is an in between called life, laid out and ordained by God and we can't just ignore that.
Truly follow, truly look for him and be receptive to his calling.
It is time that we awaken from our slumber!

WHERE TO BEGIN?

To be a follower of Christ there are options, thankfully. Sometimes you find that you are not totally happy with the status qou and are not sure what to do. You can sit back, you can sit back and complain, or you could just try something a little different. When Jesus Christ died on the cross and his spirit ascended into heaven the shroud in the temple ripped from top to bottom, and GOD came out into the world. So in response we now go into the temple every Sunday to look for him! There has to be a better approach.
The name Project-44 is for the 44Th book of the bible-Acts. Our goal here is to internalize the Acts of the disciples and live "that". Please pray for us that we might successfully not just go to church, but try to BE the church.
