One day a co-worker approached me and asked me a question "can you rap" My reply was "yes, I can rap" and he said "you should come rap for Jesus Christ" I had no reply, my only intentions at the time were to during lunch drink a 22 ounce of malt liquor and smoke some illegal stuff. Yet I couldn't ignore he's question. What if he was right, what if there was a God out there that wanted me to serve him. So i picked up a bible and said "God if your real, you can reveal yourself to me through the pages of scripture, with out any outside influences or anybody tricking me" So for the next 6-8 months I read through "The New Testament" One morning, April 8th 1997, when I had finished reading it, I realized something, that I was a sinner, in need of a savior to cleanse me of my sins, so that morning, I got on my knees and confessed that Jesus is Lord of my life! April 8th 2007, I was ordained as a Pastor!
Dec 2006, I created www.spiritlayouts.com
Great morning! I wanted to take the time to thank you for touching the heart of another! Thank you for making a difference in the young life of one, whose road has not been easy. Your special touch I'm sure brightened his paths that lay ahead. Whisper....Lord, praises lifted for this precious child of Yours in being such a blessing to another and the willingness to be used by You to radiate Your love to others.
O! say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Have a blessed 4th of July, from our house to yours! Mark & Kirsten

Welcome to HHS my new friend! I pray that the Lord will bless you richly! Your brother in Christ, Mark Howard thewaytoheaven.org Costa Mesa, California, USA. Did you know that only 2% of Christians tell others about how they can be saved through Jesus Christ? I pray that all Christians that read this will get serious and help Christ in winning souls! Every day 150,000 people die around the world. Many of them end up in hell! Do you want any of your family, friends or any person to suffer in hell for eternity? THE GREAT COMMISSION is a special calling from Jesus Christ to all His followers to take specific action while on this earth. GO TELL OTHERS HOW THEY CAN BE SAVED THROUGH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST! Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
