Right now, I don't think that CFaith.com minds my sharing some material with you from their site. If they did, they wouldn't have the "mail article to a friend" links. Besides, the articles always come with a plug to try out their service, so it is a form of advertising. The stuff I have sent is only a fraction of what they have, there, anyway.
My testimony: I grew up in church and accepted Jesus Christ when I was in 5th grade. Shortly after that, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and started exercising the gifts of the Spirit that He gave me. I wish I had started out even sooner, but at least I saved myself considerable grief by not waiting any longer than I did. I have never taken illegal drugs or been drunk on alcohol, nor have I done all manner of "really bad" stuff-- but there was still sin in my life, and I am glad Jesus took it away. Praise God! Now I continue to grow closer to God every day, and I testify that GOD IS GOOD! God is holy, awesome, loving, and totally righteous.

I have never posted before,So i feel the need to tell you that because, of all the confusion between the different people over the last few month's i have been seriously considering unsubscribing.And then out of the blue you started posting CFAITH .COM articles.Since CFAITH is a pay site i'm not sure how they would feel about it being forwarded.But under the circumstance's i have been taking full advantage of the articles.Because I can't afford to pay for it.I am a new commander and i am very happy to see devotional's,recipe's and articles of all kind's related to RR being posted.PLEASE continue posting RELATED INFO. I would also like to tell you all (I love to give my testimony) that at the age of thirteen i began smoking pot and cigarette's,Alcohol soon followed then on to Cocaine,needle's,crack,acid,crystal meth,pills and so on.After about 20 years I stopped all but pot and cigarette's.Eleven years ago my first son was born, a year later my second.Then their mother and i split up and the kid's stayed with me. WE were still seeing each other and three years later my first daughter was born,three years after that my last son.5 weeks later he died of SIDS,About six month's later i was diagnosed with Emphysema (smoking) and Hepatitis C (needles) the doctors gave me 5 years to live,because i had two killer disease's they would not transplant.I knew i was going to hell if i died (I was raised AoG) with sin in my life so i began to read the Bible and go to church again,At least i would go to heaven.Then i started receiving healing scripture's from different people.I started claiming my healing and about a year later after i had built up enough faith I RECEIVED IT.Praise god!!! And i have been living for god and going to church DISEASE FREE ever since.So I am a living breathing testimony to the healing power of GOD....Anyone care to comment? I would love to hear other testimonies IF NO-ONE WOULD BE OFFENDED!!!

- Subject: Re: [RR] Ranger net or Can post net?
- Eat the hay and spit out the sticks. :-)
- The best way to get the conversation on RangerNet focused on Royal Ranger topics that interest you is to post something on such topics. Ask questions, offer answers, post good news, offer encouragement, share good games, recipes, craft & project ideas, pointers to good resources, etc. Good devotions are part of a good Royal Ranger outpost, but certainly not all of it.
- I'm sorry if I have overwhelmed anyone with the CFaith.com articles. Because it is a paid access service, just posting a pointer to the articles of interest isn't always effective, but they let subscribers send articles to friends. Anyway, http://CFaith.com is a good place to bookmark, even if you don't subscribe, because the missions "channel" is free, changes daily, and is really good most of the time. I'm not sure if you can sign up for their separate email list without subscribing or not, but they send out a good devotion once a day on that. (You might try their 14-day free trial and sign up then, and if you cancel after that, they might forget to unsubscribe you...).
- Then again, if you get too much mail on RangerNet, you can have your email program sort it to a separate folder, and just read the mail with subjects that interest you. (This works best if people keep the subject somewhat reflective of the contents.) By the way, if you have an important message for me, and you reply to a message on RangerNet or another one of our mailing lists, you get a faster response (and maybe a response at all) if you edit out the [RR] or other list indicator in the subject line.
- Some of the canned articles are really good, but the posts to RangerNet that are the most golden are the posts written by Royal Rangers and Royal Ranger commanders from the heart.
- By the way, that float sounds fun!

- I do want to thank all of you who are posting these great devotions. I know your intentions are wonderful and you want to share these devotions with the Rangernet group. Have you considered just posting the site or net that you are receiving these from. My mailbox today was filled with can postings from everything from devotions to get rich schemes.
- The content of Rangernet in the past few months has changed from Leaders talking about Royal Rangers and things that are related to Royal Rangers to anything from a chat board to can messages.
- I know this is a campfire setting and we can often get off on a lot of chit chat. The campfire is going dim and it needs some stoking.
- A little stokin!
- Outpost 153 is off to a 3 day backpack in Herculies Glades National Park. Should be about 15 going. I have a co-worker who is agnostic that is going with us. Pray for him and us. Weather looks great! I need a break and I know a God who can!!!
- Next week we put together a Christmas Parade Float. Superman in a Royal Ranger Uniform will be flying back and forth the float waving to folks on a zipline.... The straight arrows and buckaroos will be holding cubes that have 6 messages on them. Commander will yell red and the boys will find the side with red and display it to show a message.
- ROYAL RANGERS 13 red
- OAK GROVE AOG 13 blue
- OUTPOST 153 11 white
- JESUS LOVES YOU 15 green
- GOD BLESS YOU 14 orange
- MERRY CHRISTMAS 15 yellow
- Rappeller will be on the back of the 8 x 24' float waving to the crowd.
- Rangers in uniforms with props will be walking on bothsides along the sidewalks giving out flyers and candy!!!

- Thanks Mark, I appreciate your help. Royal Rangers from my section stayed at the Gym at Calvary Temple before departing for the last 2 Camporamas. I want to make similar arrangements for next year. As a student at SMS, I attended Calvary Temple when Jack West was pastor. So I feel a little at home at Calvary Temple.
