Dean Herman
Jan 26, Papa Joe
I've debated discussing my thoughts about Joe Paterno. Due to all the things I've heard from the media, read on facebook, listened to on radio and heard from personal friends I couldn't take it anymore. Before I start please know I have zero faith in the media. We hear one side of the story and its usually the opinion of the person reporting. Who knows what the truth is anymore. So in saying that, hear are my thoughts on Joe Paterno: ... << MORE >>
Jan 25, Do I have to?
If you know anything about Dean Herman you know I love to eat. And eat a lot. In fact, there isn't much food I don't like. My favorite food,
whatever is the worst for you. Only thing that has kept me from weighing 500 pounds is my love for working out.
I have shared that during the year of 2012 I am truly striving to be the prayer warrior I need to be. I've always spent a great deal ... << MORE >>

Jan 24, Heart broken for marriages
For 31 years now I've had the honor of being married to Debbie. I can't say every day has been awesome because it hasn't. But we've made it
through the good days and the bad. But I can say our marriage is as good as its ever been. I love Deb so much and desire to be the man she deserves and God has called me to be.

Jan 23, Thoughts on Sunday
Not sure I can explain all the incredible things that happened yesterday. God really moved. Some of my thoughts on the day:
* Major life change took place and that is exactly what we're all about.
* People accepted God's forgiveness and stepped into a relationship with Him. Not sure how many.
* HUNDREDS stood and admitted they we're harboring hatred toward others and needed to forgive.
* I became emotional when I saw 80% of our church stand admitting this.

Jan 19, "Circle Maker"
One of my personal goals this year is to read a minimum of one book per month. To read at least one chapter of a book (besides Bible)
regardless of how busy I am. Off to a great start. Up early this morning reading and finished "Circle Maker" by Mark Batterson. This is the third book of Mark's I've read and beginning to
really like him. Some of the highlights for me from "Circle "Maker"

Jan 18, Hey God, are you listening?
I can never repay the four or five guys who taught me how to pray in the basement of Green Sea Baptist Church. I now spend hours in prayer
every week searching for God's will for my life and our churches. In fact, one of my spiritual goals for this year is to pray more than I ever have in my life. But I've come to a conclusion
through my years of prayer, God is not in ...

Jan 17, My way just isn't working
Have you ever tried to do something for years only to have the same results? When it comes to my weight I've tried doing it my way for
years. Starvation works until you start eating again. Quick fad diets work also until you go back to your old eating habits. Being totally honest, I've lost all of me (300 pounds) a couple of
times only to gain it all back.

Jan 16, Thoughts on Sunday
As I walked by (what used to be our parking lot) and saw all the red mud, stakes in the ground and heavy duty machinery I had this sinking
feeling overcome me. No one will show up today because its so cold and everyone will have to walk a pretty good distance because we have no parking lot. Oh ME of little faith. Incredible day
for 5 Point. Some of my thoughts on the day:

Jan 13, Circumstances shouldn't matter
I gave my life to Jesus Christ on April 12, 1987 at Green Sea Baptist Church. I got saved from head to toe, including my wallet. I am still a
sinner but radically in love with Jesus. I've come a long way in my walk with Jesus since 1987 and one thing that I've found to be true in my life and many others is that our own personal
circumstances often dictate our relationship with Jesus. Allow ...

Jan 11, Miracle/Complain
For my own personal devotion time I usually read through the bible every year. I do this at home in my lazy boy early of a morning. My Old
Testament reading this morning was Numbers 21 and God really spoke to me.
1. The miracle
The Israelites were traveling and attacked.
Numbers 21:1-3
1 When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along ... << MORE >>
