Easter Sunday 2007

Geetings in our Savior's precious name. We had good sevices today at TLBC. I had liberty in my preaching. My sermon was on "What Is Today?" You may see it on our church website. http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

Mom wasn't feeling spunky enough to be in church today. She will be 84 this month. We got her all moved into her new SHAG apartment now and she is liking it more and more each day. I'm thankful to report that we also sold her old mobile home yesterday. That was a blessing.

The Russell family were absent today also due to animal issues down in the goat barn. We called them when we got home and they have two new kids now. All the other "regulars" were there plus we had a family visiting from Naples Idaho.

Your truly,
Larry Killion

A Fairly Normal Day

We had a sweet season of prayer last night at TLBC. Two marvelous answers to prayer. Wayne Turner has been diagnosed as cured from hepatitus C. (according to medical experts, that just does not happen) Another "that does not happen" is eye damage from diabetes being corrected. Well, thanks to our gracious God, it DID happen for George Kelley. Amen. PTL!

Retirement is great.... I woke up this morning around 7:30. Came down stairs and fixed Marion and me our Body Balance. Marion was playing Spider Solitar. I put on some Slak Key Guitar music from Hawaii and relaxed a while. Around 8:30 I made breakfast for us. Ham and cheeze omlet with rye toast, salsa, and pineapple orange juice.

Around 10:00 we went to the Dollar Store and got some vacuum bags for Mom's Hoover. Then we went over to her old home and checked the mail and disassembled the day bed and brought it back and stowed it in the garage. We stopped off at Fred Meyers to check on something and found a nice little table that would work well in Mom's new home. Well, when we got to Mom's we discovered that the table (assembly required) was missing some parts. We took it back to Fred's but there were no other units in stock so we just got our money back. We came back home and had BLTs on toast for lunch. I called Mom to let her know the table deal fell through.

One of the potential buyers for Mom's old home called to see if there was any news back from the background check required by the Moblile Home Park. (We have a couple of folks who have applied for the screening to stay in the park) I called Miranda the Park Manager. She told me there may be a problem with the first one who applied because it had not come back and it usually would be back by now if there was not a problem. I told them that the second applicant was actually the one we preferred to sell the home to because they made us a better offer than the first. Miranda said she would call the screening company for the second applicant and see if they can hurry it up any. It would be great if we could get this deal all closed out and settled by this weekend.

Then Marion and I went over to Lowes and got some lumber to build a small deck for our back door. I had a 10.00 gift card that I won when I bought the for sale sign (3.00) for Mom's old home. It is a beautiful day today and tomorrow is going to be nice too. We've decided to relax the rest of the day. We'll set on the porch swing around sunset and probably watch one of our Netflix movies later. Two more weeks until our two week trip to Kauai. Alo-HA!

Two more checks came in the mail today from some of my online pages. I like that. May I intice you to take a look at something that is working for me to bring in a few extra bucks?

April Fool

No, I don't have an April Fool prank to pull on you. I'm just happy to see you stop by for a visit on my Blog. My sermon outline at church today is on our website as usual at http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

We spent all day yesterday moving Mom from her old Mobile Home to her new SHAG Apartment. I think she is really going to like it once she gets settled in. We have a sale pending on her Mobile Home and a couple of guys in the wings who are interested if the sale falls through. The apartment is smaller than her Mobile Home was so again we have some more additions to the "stuff" piling up in our basement. One of these days we are going to have to do something about clearing out our "free storeage" for the family.

Actually, I was busy pretty much all last week boxing up stuff for the move and showing the trailer to prospective buyers. I haven't had much time to do anything with my online income streams but REALLY that is the beauty of it all. Once it is set up, you can work it or not work it and there is usually some sort of check that comes in anyway. Sweet.

May I invite you to join me in the Marketing Pond? Take a look at the link here http://www.marketingpond.com/ref.cgi/83/ You can get your very own Marketing Pond LINK absolutely free and everything on Marketing Pond is also free to join. I highly recommend it. There are several money making possibilities here with no risk what so ever.

DID NOAH FISH?


A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think

Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark?"


"No," replied Johnny.

"How could he, with just two worms."

===========================








for my sermon outline on todays message.


================================





Marion and I went out yesterday to see our granddaughter Kiersten

race her Quad. My, how exciting. I'll try and post a couple of pictures

I took on my cell phone. I have a short video too but am not

technical enough to get it posted yet.

Looking Back

LOT'S WIFE

The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot's
wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt,
when little Johnny interrupted, "My Mummy looked
back once, while she was DRIVING," he announced
triumphantly, "and she turned into a telephone pole!"
===============================

I found some old notes about a missionary trip I took
to Russia several years ago and am thinking about
publishing them in book form. More to come on that.

Good services in church today. See sermon outline here:
http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

Attendance was in the mid-teens. If you would like to
see a DVD of any of the sermons mentioned on this BLOG
please let me know. We can do that.
================================

Looking back to my lay off in 2000, I am thankful now
for it all. It was not pleasant at the time but it got me
started with my online home business and NOW I am
retired and no longer under the thumb of "the man."

Story of Elijah

STORY OF ELIJAH

The Sunday school teacher was carefully explaining
the story of Elijah the Prophet and the false prophets
of Baal. She explained how Elijah built the altar,
put wood upon it, cut the steer in pieces, and laid
it upon the altar. And then, Elijah commanded the
people of God to fill four barrels of water and pour
it over the altar. He had them do this four times.

"Now," said the teacher, "can anyone in the class
tell me why the Lord would have Elijah pour water over
the steer on the altar?" A little girl in the back of
the room started waving her hand, "I know, I know,"
she said, "to make the gravy!"
=====================
My sermon today was on "Regeneration and Conversion."
The outline is on the front page of our church website.
http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

Mom is doing much better. I sold her old '70 Chevy this
week and we have an ad in the paper for her mobile home
as we plan on her move to the SHAG Senior apartments
the first of April.

Would you be willing to try a free sample of Body Balance?
Marion and I have been taking this product since June 0f '03
and we are totaly sold on it. If you will agree to pay for the
shipping (7.95) I'll see to it that Life Force sends you a quart
on auto shipment for no charge. Just go to this site for your

Graphic Sunday School

A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the
story of the Good Samaritan, in which a man was
beaten, robbed and left for dead. She described the
situation in vivid detail so her students would catch
the drama.

Then, she asked the class, "If you saw a person lying
on the roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what would
you do?"

A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence,
"I think I'd throw up."
===============================

When we talked to Mom this morning about picking
her up for church we learned that she was having some
medical problems. Marion went over and took her down
to the ER at Tacoma General. I went on to church.

Marion's SS class stayed out with us big kids. My Sermon
today was titled "FORSAKEN". Outline can be reviewed
as usual here: http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

After church I went over and checked on mom's place and then
went down to TG. We finally got home tonight around 8PM. All
is well. Mom was diagnosed with having a fainting spell but none
of the tests indicate any major problem.

About Growing Old

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You know you are getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair
that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

I preached this morning on "Believing God" at TLBC. Sermon outline is on our church website as usual. http://www.thelordsbaptistchurch.com

Super Bowl Sunday





Here we are again. This year it started off with a BANG when the Bears ran the opening kickoff all the way back for a touchdown. I'll go down to the TV room in a minute and watch the rest of the game but first I just wanted to update my blog for the day.


Well attendance was back down to normal today after the packed house that we had last Lord's Day when Elder Garner Smith (pictured on the left next to me) was here from Faith Baptist Church in Clarksville, Tennessee to cap out our week long meeting in celebration of the 27th anniversary of TLBC.
It was good to have a visitor from the neighborhood in our afternoon services today. This was the FIRST fruit we have seen from our door to door work around the new meeting place. Pray that God would be pleased to send us more and give us grace to go out more with our gospel tracts. My morning sermon outline is posted on the front page of our church website as usual. http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

Adult True-isms

GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.

***************************
What a wonderful time we have had this week. Our church celebrated her 27th anniversary on the 26th and we had Elder Garner Smith, Pastor of the Faith Baptist Church, Clarksville, Tennessee to preach for us every night and all day today in our regular services. http://thelordsbaptistchurch.com

Brother Smith was one of my Bible teachers when I attended Bible College. His wife Augusta came with him and they stayed with Marion and me all week long. We had a grand time and the fellowship was so much fun.

**************************
I did not have time to check in on some of my home business related sites but everything seems to have ran OK. I sure like that aspect of having an online home business.

True-isms from children

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back.
They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.

TLBC 4Q-06 Report

The Lord’s Baptist Church
11102 Yakima Avenue South
Tacoma, WA. 98444
www.thelordsbaptistchurch.com
Pastor Larry J. Killion Phone: 253-537-0129


This is our Newsletter and Quarterly Report for the 4th quarter of 2006. We finished studying the Sermon on the Mount. See our church website for the outlines of the latest sermons preached on Sunday mornings. In our afternoon services we have moved from studying about various Old Testament Bible characters to things in the New Testament.

Pastor traveled to Carmichael, California in October for the Bible Conference at Carmichael Baptist Church and had a wonderful time of fellowship with the brethren there. After the conference their pastor Elder Bill Brown, had some chest pains and had to have some stints put in. We are glad he is doing better now.

Sister Marion and I are doing OK health wise. Thank you to those who prayed for our grandson AJ Buffaloe. He is doing better now too. The latest test showed his brainwaves in the normal range. His balance seems to be improving. Sister Turner is better too.

Our church attendance needs improvement. We discontinued our mailing ministry to newcomers in the community because of no response. We started to canvas the neighborhood around the meeting place using several different gospel tracts we ordered from Wilbert Ellis in Florence, Kentucky. We’ve had a few visitors but not from the folks we visited. People here have very little concern about spiritual truth from the Bible. They are more interested in doing their own thing. A recent article in the Tacoma News Tribune told of some “church” groups that are growing because they rent movie theaters and let the people bring their Mochas and Lattes into the service while they play drums and guitar music for them with repetitive “worship” lyrics. One fellow was quoted as saying that he enjoyed it because he never felt lost in any of the services.

The weather has been rather cantankerous lately. First we had floods, then high winds, then freezing conditions and snow. There have been many power outages and some loss of lives. All in all we have faired well here at the Killion home. We are on a hill and I have a 5KW generator for spare power. We are hoping for a break, weather wise, the last week in January when Brother Garner Smith, Pastor or the Fellowship Baptist Church in Clarksville, Tennessee is coming out here for a weeks meeting. Pray for REVIVAL.

Our two Missionaries are doing well and we receive good reports from them about the mission work. It is an honor to be co-laborers with great men of God like Elder Cresencio Baldemor in Mindanao and Elder Robert Ellis in Ireland. We started sending financial support to five other Missionaries again. They are: Curtis Pugh in Romania, Ted Tweet in Honduras, Frank James in New Guinea, Jeff Lawrence in Australia, and Burt Craft in Mexico. Thank God for biblical ministries like these. Pray for us. AMEN.

The Same Old Story

It was warm and cozy in our services today at TLBC. We got our furnace fixed and it is working fine now. There was a good spirit there too and I only wish that there were more in attendance than what we had. I preached on "The Same Old Story." See our church website here: TLBC

Residual Income - The Key to Online Success!

How would you like to make money even when you don't go to
work? If you're like most online marketers this is probably
one of the key reasons you started your online business.

But the key to achieve your dream is having your work
continue to pay... even when you stop working. You need to
find a machine that continues to work even when you aren't
there. This machine is called residual income.

Residual income means that once you have set the wheels in
motion you can continue to collect money - possibly forever
- even long after you stop promoting your product or
service!

Let's face it. Who wouldn't want to have a business that
puts money in your pocket day or night while you're off
doing the things you love?

For many enterprising individuals earning a residual
income is a real reality. The concept is simple and by
understanding the business model that this principle
applies to, once you've done the hard work you can then
continue to benefit from it for many months to follow.

While writing an ebook or report is one of the most
popular methods of creating residual income, you can also
create other products such as tutorial videos, software
programs or even a physical products.

However if you're not into creating your own products,
then the next best method is to promote affiliate services
that require monthly fees for such membership sites etc.

This way once you've referred a new referral, you will
continue to reap the benefits for as long as they remain a
member... without any additional effort!

The same is true if you choose to sell a product that is
made and delivered by another company - often called drop
shipping.


Whichever method you choose, the key is to setup your
business so that it is as automated as possible so that
once you've set it up you don't have to continue working as
hard.

When you combine all this with the proper combination of
marketing and interested customers you can create a system
that works even when you don't.


A good example of a Drop Shipping business is with a Company
like Life Force International. This is a Debt Free company
with the highest of integrity that is stationed in San Diego,
California. They've been in business well over 20 years and
are members of the BBB. They produce whole food liquid
nutritional products. An excellent choice due to the consumable products because customers will return again and
again for them. Start your research on this possibility for
your Residual Income by going here:
https://lifeforce-intl.com/20403837

Four important things to look for in starting a
Drop Shipping Business are:

1. A Rock Solid Company.
2. High Quality Reasonably Priced Products.
3. A Lucrative Compensation Plan.
4. Good Support Training and Customer Service.

An example of a good Affiliate Program is Trafficwave.
It is a pioneer in it's field and has been creating
successful online marketers since 2001. The products
are marketing tools that everyone who has an online
business needs. Most online gold diggers will not
strike it rich but those who sell the shovels to the
gold diggers will do quite well. This is the perfect online home biz for at least five reasons.

1. No Start Up Costs! I will pay your way in!
2. No paperwork to fill out. We are 100% online!
3. No special training required. No inventory.
4. No limited market. We are worldwide!
5. No strict hours. You set your own schedule.

Associate Home Biz here:

Happy New Year

Best wishes for YOU in the new year. We had our last service for 2006 today. The fellowship was warm but the building was cold. Our heating system was not working properly. We shortened up the services and did not have an afternoon service. We will have the gas company service the funace for us and get it back in proper operating condition.

I preached on "The Gospel" and everyone seemed to enjoy it in spite of the uncomfortable temperature in our auditorium. I have deleted all the other sermon outlines on our church website and will start fresh with todays message. This will help the page to load faster. If you want to see the outline of any of the sermons mentioned in earlier blog posts just send me a note and I'll get a copy out of archives for you.

This evening we will go down to the Family Shelter and have a wedding for a couple that has been visiting our services lately. Pray for Dennis and Tina as they are joined in holy matrimony. Then Marion and I plan on coming home to hunker down for the evening. We will probably stay up and watch the fireworks at the Spaceneedle on TV.

Sister Turner is still waiting for the report from the neural surgeon on the EEG they did last week but she seems to be doing OK. Our grandson AJ had a "normal" reading on his EEG. Pray for Elder Tim Crawford who was scheduled for open heart surgery yesterday down in Eugenem Oregon. If Jesus doesn't come back before midnight tonight, we hope 2007 will be the year of the RAPTURE. Lord bless.

God blessed our services today again at TLBC. Our daughter Cindi was there with the children. AJ is doing much better. A recent EEG showed him in the "normal" range. We thank the Lord for this and consider it a wonderful answer to prayer.

We had a scare this week with sister Diana Turner. Things are better now but she will have an EEG this Tuesday and we are praying for her about this. Brother Turner brought a good lesson in Sunday School today on "The Day That Jesus Was Born." It is not what most people think.

I preached on "Giving Offerings" in the AM and taught on "The Young Child In The House In Bethleham" in the PM service. You can see our church website here: TLBC

If you have not looked at AGLOCO yet, I want to make sure you have the opportunity to do so. Since you are on the net anyway, why not get PAID for what you do on the net already? This new company makes it possible for you to do that. Sign up in AGLOCO (no charge at this time) and that is it. Just keep doing what you have been doing all along anyway and in time you will start getting checks. Sound OK? OK!

A Shelter In The Time Of Storm

Our first song before Sunday School today (12-17-06) at church was "A Shelter In The Time Of Storm" and it seemed very appropriate. We have been through an auful lot "weather-wize" lately here in the Great Northwest. We were fairly fortunate here at the Killion home. We were only without power for about 12 or 13 hours and we had a 5000KW generator to help tide us over. Others are still without power. Spiritually speaking it is Christ and Him alone who can save you from sin and the storms of life. I hope you know HIM.

It was good to have three first time visitors in our services today. I preached on "Giving".
See Sermon outline on TLBC front page by clicking HERE

We thank the Lord for answered prayer regarding my mother-in-law Ooshie Hirata this week. She had surgery to repair the wires on her pace maker and is recovering nicely. For other APs (answered prayers) see the prayer page of our TLBC web site.

I don't know how much you use the internet or how you use it but obviously you use it a little or you wouldn't be reading this. So, why not get paid for your use of the net? There is a way, you know, to do that now. This is not a joke and it is not a trick to get you to pay for something. I'd like to encourage you to look at what is offered by a new company called AGLOCO. Their motto is "own the Internet".
Please take a look at how they will pay you for what you are already doing on the net by clicking HERE.

Greetings,

Good day in church again today. I preached my last lesson on the Sermon on the Mount. Outline of sermon is posted on the TLBC web site. I may be removing these outlines from our church page soon in order keep it from loading too slowly. Take a look quickly. Am praying about what to preach on next. Click here to see our church website.

Marion and I enjoyed a nice Luncheon yesterday over at the Elks Club for Pierce Transit Retirees. The food and fellowship was good and we came home with two pointsetas and a gift certificate for dinner at the Olive Garden. Not bad.

For those who never saw any of the Burma Shave signs, here is a quick lesson in our history of the 1930s, '40's and 50's.

Before there were interstates, when everyone drove the old 2 lane roads, Burma Shave signs would be posted all over the countryside in farmers' fields. They were small red signs with white letters. Five signs, about 100 feet apart, each containing 1 line of a 4-line couplet ... and the obligatory 5th sign advertising Burma Shave, a popular shaving cream. Here are more of the actual signs:

Do these bring back any old memories? If not, you're merely a child. If they do -- then you're old as dirt ... LIKE ME!

Bro. Killion's grandson AJ.

Hello dear friends,


I'm not sure if this will work but try the link to see a short slide show of AJ and Kiersten playing in the snow.

AJ and Kiersten in the Snow

AJ went to the doctor again today. Some of you have been praying for him about the "brain malformation" that I mentioned in the TLBC 3rd Q Report.

Some of us have noticed that there are times when AJ seems to space out like he is daydreaming and it is hard to get his attention. It turns out that these incidents are small seizures. It is not epilepsy. It is related to the malformation in his brain. Again, this is a thing that is fixable by surgery. The problem is that this type of surgery is done while the patient is awake and the doctor can do the procedures needed based upon the reaction he gets from the patient. AJ is too young at this point for the doctor to be able to understand clearly from the information he gets from the patient during the surgery just exactly what is needed to do the procedure precisely as needed.

So for now they are giving us a DVD with instructions on how to care for AJ in seizure type scenarios. They will also be fitting him with some headgear that will prevent any trauma to the head in case of falling or an accident of some kind. In time they will go ahead and do the surgery that is needed but not for now. Thanks again for thinking of us and this dear little one in your prayers.
