Blud Bros Blog Begins

Hello friends of the Blud Bros..

Large Al reporting for duty here. Welcome to another new aspect of the Blud Bros updated worldwide web home. We are glad you took a moment to read this. We hope you are blessed by your interaction with the Blud Bros and our ministry.

If you have poked around our new site very much you will have already found out what we're about and why we do what we do. In Matthew 25 it states:

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’" Then the righteous answered, "When?" (Large Al paraphrased version) Jesus responded, "When you did it for the least of these, you did it for me".

So we are a Christian Blues band with a gospel / classic rock edge that goes to prisons and rehab centers and other places where most bands don't choose to go, and we don't charge for our performances. The reasoning is simple. Multiple choice tests are way easier than essay tests. It is really wonderful that we can follow specific instructions laid out by Jesus and know we are pleasing Him. In the other parts of our individual lives we are investing in the lives of others. Roscoe, Dan and I serve on various worship teams. Bob and Randy are very active in the ministries of their respective churches. Rich counsels folks who are trapped in the prison of substance abuse.

All of us know that serving God is the only sensible thing to do while we are visiting this planet, because our life on earth is a tiny short chapter leading toward an eternity of Joy with God, or torment without Him. Serving people in the way Jesus did, with the power Jesus gives us, is one way we are allowed to express our love to Him. He deserves our complete unselfish devotion. He has earned it even though He had no need to earn it. We need Him, He doesn't need us. He loved us long before we even knew Him. Our God deserves praise, honor, glory and worship at all times in all things.

I hope you can be blessed by getting to know Him better. I hope this little contribution of ours is an encouragement to your life. Jesus loved you and I so much that He chose to die in our place, so we could live in fellowship with Him for eternity. Is there anything in this life that compares to that? I don't think so.

Much Love and Grace to you

Large Al
