Just A Thought From Pastor Steve Smothermon: He's the God of Another Chance



We all make mistakes at times. We make bad decisions as well. 

It’s never too late:

It is never too late to get things right with God. God is the God of another chance! He is always willing to forgive us our trespasses as long as we are willing to forgive others their trespasses. Every one of us goes through good seasons and tough or bad seasons. In our darkest moments there is forgiveness if we are willing to repent. Repent means to change your mind.

God is our friend:

I used to think that God was out to get me or if I made one mistake, I’d be out. What I have learned is that is not true. God is there to help us and strengthen us to do His will, His word. We just have to learn to cling to His word, not the words of others. God is our friend, not our enemy! He doesn’t want to hurt us, instead He wants to help us.

There is always hope:

I believe I have experienced His grace and mercy in a way that gives me hope. None of us is without sin, so we should stop acting as if we are. None of us! So, what do we do? We never stop loving God for any reason. We don’t have to be perfect to receive His promises, His blessings. We must be willing and purpose to never quit. Never stop seeking Him.

Whatever areas we are struggling with, we need to keep seeking Him, doing His word, and we will see how good He really is.

Just a thought,

PSS

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
