Our friend John Mattis has passed away to his eternal reward.
Sunday February, 26, 2006 at about 4pm.  He probably died of cancer
rather suddenly.  This was not expected so quickly.  Doctor's feel that
treatment would not have helped now that this happened so quickly.  He
was at home in some pain the last month, but required no outside care.
After going to Licking Memorial Hospital Sunday morning he started to
feel better, but passed away there in the afternoon.
 
     I am not sure when the funeral will be yet, but I understand they
are going to try for Saturday morning so relatives can have a chance to
get here.  I will update after I talk to his wife, Linda, Monday evening.

A funeral service for Rev. John E. Mattis, II, age 57, of Newark, Ohio, will be held at 11am on Saturday, March 4, 2006, at the 1st Presbyterian Church with Rev. Steven Mattis & Rev. Gary Nelson officiating. Burial will follow in Wilson Cemetery.

Rev. Mattis died February 26, 2006 at Licking Memorial Hospital. He was born November 12, 1948 in Cincinnati, Ohio to John E. Mattis, who died in 1999 and Genevieve Doris (Burdine) Mattis of Wilmington, NC.

Rev. Mattis was a graduate and member of the football team at Colerain High School in Cincinnati. He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy and a graduate of Northern Kentucky University and the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts.

He loved to teach The Word and did so at congregations in E. Liverpool, OH, Aurora, IL, 1st Presbyterian Church, Trinity Evangelical Fellowship, and Dayspring Community Church, all of Newark.

John was also an avid Duck hunter, fisherman and sports enthusiast.

GOOD CHOICES

okay so heres the thing,

people are always like Nina you have such good luck and I'm like no I make good choices.

seriously if you're unhappy with your life or if your not where you want to be, if you thought you'd have made more of your self by now..........look at the choices you make.

good water cant flow for the same fountain sour water flows.

Don't be surprised when you look back to a year ago or more and you were doing the exact same thing you are now.

call it what you want "karma" " what gos around comes around" .....whatever, but know that every choice you make will reflect it self in everything you do.

You will reap everything you sow. How can you have good things happen to you, when you are involved with something you know is wrong. Maybe not even something that's wrong how about destructive. Or illegal?

Now lets put a spiritual spin on things, Its my xanga I have the right to say whatever I want. You're choosing to read it. This is so black and white. God will not and cant bless you life if you have deliberate sin in your life. there is no way, and to think there were so many blessing he was ready and wanted to give you. Its that simple.

IF YOU SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION this is the reason why. Change your life style. You're not stupid, you know whats right, do it. your life with effect the mental and the physical

You people know this too, you know and the fact that you choosing to still follow through with your bad choices. You life style can also be considered a bad choice.

I'm not even talking about being nice, and doing good to other people , im talking about choices and decisions you make that effect you. you and your life

Most of us reading this, are around 20. Give or take a few years. what's the most you'll probably what maybe 80....if you're lucky. probably closer to 70ish Most wont even make it to there. so you have a what......good 40 years left? that's it. that's only your life 2 more times. what the heck are you doing being unhappy? The time is now. stop what you're doing and clean you act up, just do it. stop lying to your self and straighten up. its as easy as that.

There is a solution to being unhappy.

So I don't have good luck, I make good choices.

for instance, this weekend im going to a winter camp where I will be helping troubled teens, some may say that's why good things happen to me. But I say its because I'm choosing to not sit around and get stupid drunk this weekend. I say its because I'm not choosing to spend time with people I know arnt good for me. I say its because I'm not foolishly wasting my money supporting something that isn't productive. I say its because I'm not breaking the law this weekend. Or im not spending the weekend with multiple partners. I'm choosing to not be lazy this weekend. That's with out saying the awful things I could be doing to people.

Its not so much what you do, but its more what you don't do.

after you get that straight then you can be blessed/rewarded for the good you do and good things will happen to you.

My life is blesses and that's why im not lucky .....im smart.
