to all my dear friends out there....I miss you and love you all and hope that this holiday season finds you well and if you need anything...I'm just a phone call away.
may the grace and peace of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ be with you and may you find rest and comfort in His loving embrace.
I love you all.

I know the Lord is always with me,
I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.
No wonder my heart is filled with joy,
and my mouth shouts His praises!
My body rests in hope.
For you will not leave my soul amoung the dead
or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.
You have shown me the way of life,
and you will give me wonderful joy in your presence

Acts 2:25-28

I have been listening to a Corry Russell cd (days of Elijah) for the past several days now and each time I do God speaks to me in a different way........it amazes me how the simplest things can strike me so powerfully.......like the concept "if God is for you than who can be against you?".....I have heard that saying thousands since my childhood.....it has been drilled into my mind...and yet God used it to comfort and encourage me in a time of despair and it blew me away.......here's another one........when I left the academy I knew that I knew that I knew that I had only begun to touch the tip of who God was.......and yet as time went by....Me, Ben Munger, in all of my pride decided that I had arrived at the ultimate locating of oneness with God......now I did not go around saying that but I thought it and it began to block out what God was trying to teach me....I mean come on...if you know all that there is to know about Him why do you need to be thought right?....sounds good to me........NOT.......God spoke to me today of what my mind said I knew but what my heart did not........Corry was speaking of an awaking....he was speaking to those who were followers of Christ....he told the story of the coming of the Holy Spirit.....God told His disciples....His disciples who had spent the last three years with Him...who had seen His works and heard His teachings.....I mean if anyone could say that they know Him it would be these guys.....God told them to wait....that He was going to fill them up with His spirit and a new revelation of who He is....wow....if the Gods disciples, after spending three years with Him day in and day out, had not come to know Him fully.....if they could be given a new revelation.....then how much more does little ole stuck up, proud ben munger have to learn.....the answer? everything.....for the rest of my life......the awaking of my spirit was not the end.....it was the beginning....and I heard God today in a very clear way to get out of the way and let Him teach.

so....after a long time running and being an ostrich...here we go
A relentless pursuit of God, a relentless pursuit of the people He loves.
more to come
