Buckeye Bluegrass & Michigan Bluegrass Forum
Welcome to our forum. Feel free to post a message. This forum is for the promotion of Bluegrass Music in the states of Ohio and Michigan. If you have a question about a festival or a group, are looking for a special guitar, or just want to chat about the great show or jam you went to last night, here is the place. Let's all keep it clean and play nice, y'all here? For Michigan Bluegrass visitors... you'll have to use your back browser button to get back to the Michigan Bluegrass site! I'm sorry! Until we have seperate forums, we'll have to deal with this. We felt that one forum would be best and a little cheaper on our pocketbooks, since is all by donation and little bit of advertising! Hope you all understand!
Happy Sunday!
I pray you all had a great week. For those who did not I offer up the following:
Ephesians 5:20
...always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
That is right! Give thanks not only for the good things that occur in your lives but for the not so good as well! I am also reminded of Dr. Schuller, who I heard say,"Tough times never last, but tough people do!" Yet this is not what I wanted to tell you all.
Some Christians during their walk with God perform an action called "fasting." Fasting is the abstinence of food and drink, usually for a day. The reason for fasting is to exclude sin from our lives inorder to commune with God. But what I am requesting here is not the abstinence from what goes into our mouths but from what comes out. So, pick a day out of this week and abstain from foul language, words of hate, jealousy, envy and so on. As a matter of fact, do a good deed for someone this week too! Make a difference in your lives, Jesus did!
Lets pray together: "Father I will not forget that you love me, more than I can imagine. Not matter what happens to me I will give thanks to you. I will try and do better this week Father. With You I can do anything and in the end there will be everlasting peace. Father bless my friends and family and those who are in need and troubled. Protect and bless us. Thank you father! You are an awsome God. I give thanks unto you. Thank you! In Jesus holy name I pray, amen."
Have a blessed week, God bless!

Sorry for the late message. Sherri is fixing up the place, early spring cleaning and all.
I pray that you all had a blessed week. I also pray that you all praised and worshiped God in your local church. I am requesting that we all attend a local church this coming Sunday. Go with a friend, family or both! You know over the ages the church and people went through an awfull lot of persecussion and suffering. Did you know all the Apostles were murdered for their witness of Christ? They were, burned alive, beheaded, drowned, sawed in half, skinned, flogged, scourged and crucified. A great deal of suffering went on so you would know the love and joy that Christ our Lord and Saviour has.
Cast off any doubt or fear that you may have because some people might tease or taunt you for going to church. Go there proudly and boldly knowing that you will be accepted not for what or who you are but because the church belongs to God and the head of that church is Jesus Christ! Remember what Jesus said: "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first (John 15:18)"
Lets pray, " Father thank you for the glorious kingdom you have for us and all that you have given. Father I call upon the Holy Spirit to guide us to your church and reveal the wonders of your mighty love. Bless us this week and watch over our comings and goings. May this week be a special time for us of reflection and my Jesus show us the way. Jesus is the light, the salt and the way! Thank you father! In Jesus Holy name, Amen."
God bless you
Pastor Kirk
