Dear Children and Grandchildren,

I have enjoyed the Word of God more than I ever have since I am no longer preaching 3 or 4 times a week and am not pressed for time. Some times I find things I'd like to share with all of you, or some of you individually. With your mother's encouragement I'd like to start a "Bible Blog" and share some of my thoughts with you. Last night I told Joanna that I opened a can of "Pork and Beans" for supper, (your mother is in Arizona helping Becky while Adam recuperates from a serious operation) but I found no pork so I renamed it "Beans and Beans". With a hearty laugh she wondered if I had "looked under every bean?' I trust what I send you will have some "pork" but if you find it to be only "beans" just push the delete button.

Ps.119:168 "I have kept Thy precepts and Thy testimonies: for all my ways are before Thee," As you were growing up one of the things I was careful to emphasize in our daily devotions was that the time would come when you would no longer be under the eye of Mom and Dad but you would never be out of sight of God's eye. What an encouragement we find here to keep God's Word. "all my ways are before Thee,"

"Experience makes many a paradox plain, and this is one. Before God we may be clear of open fault and yet at the same time mourn over a thousand heart-wanderings which need his restoring hand."--C.H. Spurgeon

"I may hide Thee from my eye, but not myself from Thine eye."--Wm. Gurnall

Presidential Debate

Tonight I watched the debate between the two men who want to be our next president. Our once proud nation, under God, is now a sad shell on the brink of economic disaster. One man promoted a change to godless socialism while the other also offered a godless solution of somehow digging ourselves out. Of course neither man dared mention anything about God or his word. A few days ago both men voted to print an additional seven hundred thousand million dollars to prop up an economy that has long left the free enterprise system put in place by our founders. Banks are going under, billions in retirement funds are gone. One of the solutions voted for was to up the amount the government will guarantee should your bank go under. What government? If your senator or representative voted against that package send them a note of thanks There has never been a time in my lifetime, which includes 4 wars, when it has been more needful for this nation to turn to God in repentance. It is imperative that each of you stay close to the Lord for He is our only hope.

"Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. Be astonished, O ye heavens at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me the Fountain of Living Waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water."
