​…By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit but a bad tree bears bad fruit.  A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.… Matthew 7:16-17
GETURMINDRITE (Get Your Mind Right) - Romans 12:2

I don't think there is a man in the world who hasn't had
to pick himself up, look in the mirror, and say 
"GET YOUR MIND RIGHT"
My moment came about 3 months into a new career.
A new career that wasn't exactly getting off to a great start. Bills were due, kids are growing up fast...fast enough to start noticing when money is running low. I've always worn my heart on my sleeve...but that is a problem when your defeated attitude sucks the life out of your own home. I found myself reading in the book of Romans, and the Apostle Paul seemed to speak directly   to me. "Do not conform to the pattern of this world,but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
To change your circumstance, you must first change the 
way you view your circumstance.

New You - 2 Corinthians 5:17    
​
The reversed NY on this hat doesn't refer to New York, but instead for the New You that can be found in Christ. Giving you life over to God often means that the person you become is a complete reversal of the person you used to be. Our God is not a man that He should lie, so His promises are yes and amen. It is up to us to walk in that truth and live it out. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, " And this means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old man is gone; behold, a new life has begun." The verse says HAS become...no might become, or will become if they never mess up again. His word says that, since we belong to Him...WE ARE MADE NEW.
​I Once Was Blind (Braille) - John 9:25
FRONT READS I ONCE WAS BLIND IN BRAILLE​
I've always had a different outlook on life. Growing up as 
Annette Tomes' "baby boy" came with some privileges.
The biggest one being the example she set to seek and follow Christ in every area of my life. Now, living under your mother's roof can shield you from the true struggles of being a man with a family of your own.Responsibilities of your own. I have always taken great pride in being a provider to my family, and that is easy when things are going well. When the Las Vegas economy crashed, my life in the car business was greatly affected. My vision as to where my provision actually came from...was skewed.
Even though my income had decreased...my provider (Jesus) was as big as ever. I guess I needed a "Spiritual Lasik" surgery to truly see things how God intended me to.

FAVR (Favor) - Psalm 5:12

After watching the first Marvel "Avengers" movie
my son, who was 7 at the time, turns to me and asks,
"Dad, how come the superheroes never die?"
Trying my best to conjure up my inner Heathcliff Huxtable, I showed him Psalm 5:12 in the Bible that says,
"Surely, Lord, you protect the righteous. You surround them with favor as with a shield." His little face 
lit up as he said back to me, "You mean like Captain America's shield!"  Yeah son...something like that!

Hallelujah (Hebrew) - Psalm 146:1

This was one of the hardest hats for me to finally make. As much as I would like to have you think that my faith has always been bullet proof IT HASN'T. There were days when I struggled with what God's plan for me was. 
After going through most of my life without any major medical issues.I received a less than desirable diagnosis from a doctor.  What he meant was that without a major surgery, my odds of living
a lot longer were not very good. I went on with my life trying not to accept this...I didn't even tell my family for about 3 months. I couldn't bring myself to tell the people who meant the most to me, that the man that was taking care of them...could be checking out pretty soon. It was during this time that I came to the realization that, NO MATTER WHAT...I WIN!
Psalm 146:1 proclaims, "HALLELUJAH! Praise the LORD, my soul!" This hat makes a declaration that, even if my conditions are less than perfect, I will praise the Lord anyway! Hallelujah is written in Hebrew on the front of the cap to remind you that no matter what...WE WIN!
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out all fear - 1 John 4:18. God's first and only emotion towards us is and always will be love. 
There is no fear in love...and perfect love casts out all fear || Our love of God long sleeved t shirt represents just how much God loves us. His perfect love for us was shown when He gave us His very best...Jesus. To the world, Christ was viewed as a child being born. To Christ followers, we knew that a son was given. Isaiah 9:6 says, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Visit Gudfrutzhatco.com to wear your faith and spark Kingdom conversations. .
You cant grow into the person that you want to be without the ability to UNLEARN all things the world taught you. Isaiah 43:18 puts it this way. “Forget the former things do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!" This shirt inspires you to grow.
