The many interests and hobbies of John Kung Fu Tai chi Reading Teaching Sailing Rodeo Motorcycle riding Boating Bowling Dogs Going to the movies Quoting movies Watching the same movie over & over (He really loved movies!) Talking on the phone “In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.” ( John 1:1) “So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.” (Romans 10:17) “Have I not commanded you?

Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the Lord your God is with youwherever you go.” ( Joshua 1:9) “But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.” (Isaiah 40:31) “For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith.
