“It costs God nothing, so far as we know, to create nice things: but to convert rebellious wills cost Him crucifixion.” ― C. S. Lewis “Normal is a setting on a washing machine. It has nothing to with people.” ― Johnny Price “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!” Psalm 34:8 “How do you hate someone you say doesn't exist?” ― Josh Wheaton, God's Not Dead Songwriter: Daniel Bashta God's Not Dead (Like a Lion) lyrics © Capitol Christian Music Group David Wayne McCannon on Facebook June 10, 2019 at 7:44 AM EST

“ Never REJECT yourself due to the sins you have committed. REGRET will do nothing; REPENT and do something!”   ― Israelmore Ayivor Verse for The Day Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. Ephesians 5:1-2 NIV “Encouragement is like water to the soul, it makes everything grow.”  ― Chris Burkmenn

1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.   4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.   8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do no...

“ Change can come in either of two important ways: Start behaving positively or stop behaving negatively. ” ― Dr. Phil McGraw David McCannon Introduction Hello forever family. My name is David and I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ. I struggled with Mental Illness most of my life. The road to recovery has been a long, slow ride home for me. During my lifetime I had many attempts to end my life. The attempts range from starvation, hanging, or overdose on my medication. For 30 plus years, I have struggled with suicidal ideation. One time while living in a housing program in Athens, GA, I thought about going to the Firing Lane and pretend I was there for target practice. My plan was to turn the gun to my head and shoot myself. There have been times while I was hospitalized for depression, I tried to hang myself. I can name 3 different occasions where this happened. I got caught once trying to hang myself with my belt at Charter Peachford. Also, one time I...

  “Despite of the hardships I face in this life, knowing that Jesus went to the cross for me makes it all worth it” ― David McCannon Rhyme for My King My health may fail. And I may never acquire wealth. I will not feel sorry for myself. I may never have a wife. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have a life.   Jesus is king, and one day I will wear His ring. I don’t have to frown because Christ will give me a crown. Insanity is a form of vanity. Playing God will never get you out of Dodge. One day my flesh will be dead and the grave will be my bed. Heaven is for real. There is no better deal. No one can steal that. Now put that in your hat. When I return to dust, everything I leave behind will turn to rust. My labor is not in vain. The gain outweighs the pain. With God the price is always right. Let his light shine all night. This world won’t last. Heaven is going to be a blast. God says I am a saint. That ain’t bad. I don’t h...
