Good morning to you!

Blessed be the Name of the Lord! VBS was real good last night. Our lesson was on King David and how God's love gives us strength. I dressed up as King David and did a first person account of when he wrote the 23rd Psalm. It was really cool. 

Now I will get ready for tonight's lesson somehow as I continue work in my house to get ready for company on Friday. As I said a few days ago, this will be a very busy week. But I always love VBS and I also love to have company whether it is family or friends. Both in one week but with God's help I will be ready. I believe it!

I have been reading this morning after my devotion two little booklets or tracts that I have been meaning to read. One was A New Beginning by Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis and president and creator of the museum. And the other was The Purpose and Meaning of Life from Creation to the Cross by Cecil Eggert. We had picked these up at the Creation Museum last month just south of Cincinnati, Ohio. I like to read them before I give them to someone. 

If anyone is ever interested in the Answers Magazine, let me know. We save copies to share with someone interested. They are so awesome about the scientific data and proof of the six days of creation. My husband has been reading it for 20 years or so and loves it. But of course he loves science and the like. A lot of that is a little over my head but then again my head isn't very high.

In the beginning God created 
the heavens and the earth. 
Genesis 1:1

But we believe God did create the universe in six days and then rested the seventh day. That is what the Bible says and that is what we believe. Maybe I am simple minded but that is okay. I believe the Bible literally and that is the way it is. We are all entitled to our own beliefs. Even if mine is right! Ha!
 Thus the heavens and the earth 
were completed in all their vast 
array. By the seventh day God had 
finished the work he had been doing; 
so on the seventh day he rested from 
all his work. Then God blessed the 
seventh day and made it holy, because 
on it he rested from all the 
work of creating that he had done.
Genesis 2:1-3

Read His Word to see what you believe. 

Have a wonderful day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
