Jeremiah (JP) Johnson

     Well hello to everyone out there.  I hope this new year finds you well and excited about what's in store for us throughout it.  Things have been a bit difficult around here since Christmas.  My mother passed away a couple of days after and left us all struggling to enjoy the season.  After all the arrangements were made and the service itself I checked out for a couple of weeks.  Thanks to the love and commitment of my faithful wife I am back to some normalcy.  I thank God everyday that He has blessed me with such a woman.  I clearly got the better end of the deal when we got together.  I don't want to leave out the rest of my family, they have all been there for me and each other throughout this trying time.  We can now rejoice that mom no longer has to struggle and battle her way through this life, God promises that He will never leave us or forsake us.  Jesus also tells us in John 10:28-30 that those the Father places in His hands have eternal life and no one can snatch them away from Him.  We have found great comfort in this.  In her memory I would like to share something she wrote years ago.

 My Prayer

Shout is what I want to do,

The Lord called me, yes me so unprepared,

so unexperienced.

God! please make me humble, so humble.

Be with me always.

I want to do great things for you,

but only through you can I do great things.

Use me Lord, in anyway you see fit.

I feel as though I'm going somewhere,

but Lord I don't know where,

but I don't care as long as you send me there.

Let me share the love, joy, happiness, and

excitement of a Christian Life as having you

as head of my life.

So many Lord are waiting--I'll hurry Lord.

I want to help them all.

And of coarse tell them you're the One who helped me.

So Lord send me on my way of the Great Life.

I know I don't deserve you you,

but Lord you'll have to put up with me.

Humble me Lord!

Here am I -- Send Me.
