Looks like we’ve wrapped up another week – and this week WE did it with an excellent overseas trip (via photos etc.) to the city of
Although we’ve been to various ‘other’ parts of the Mainland beside
Perhaps it makes us more aware of how big – and small this globe is – [all at the same time] and end up marveling at the great goodness God has spread over this earth and often how we have received it slightly and flippantly when we should be pleased and certainly awed at the great works God has done and how blessed we are to have sampled a good portion of it.
In a way – for a Christian – it makes us well, homesick. As Christians, taking the word of God as our guideposts and the Holy Spirit as our tour guide on ‘limited assignment’ because we are such hampered observers by our own making – there is so much out there to be observed and the reality of the world about us is so often “filtered” through the lens of TV or newspapers or whatever other media, we are somewhat amazed at what we see in person when our senses even have perceived that of which we did not know.
Well, it’s kind of hard to explain. We feel both fortunate and yet longing for more knowledge. Obviously these bodies and their perception abilities are wearing out. Yet we still desire more, knowing we don’t have the time or energy left to do what remains to be seen. It leaves one with a hunger that is unfulfilled. Except…
Except we know we “serve a risen Saviour – who is in the world today” And we know by the testimony of that Word which has proven so infallible when carefully studied across the years there is much more to be seen and learned – and the Lord has promised us by HIS testimony that we shall live to rule and reign in HIS kingdom -- *much more colorful and startling* than the incomplete and distorted view we have at present… How fortunate we are to have a Lord and Saviour and King who will bring us into permanent and beautifully complete perfect knowledge of HIM and HIS kingdom – Oh That will be GLORY … glory for me – for me to see and love my Saviour and HIS created world. I can’t wait to get there!
But meantime – there are things yet to be taken care of and enjoyed in this world at this time. I urge you and your family to join us in this wonderful God given adventure of completing the life HE planned for us. Praise the Lord – Amen!
See you all next week too. (Unless the Lord comes back before then.) Amen and good night to all…
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
BE SURE TO ARRANGE FOR RE-TRAINING
Just a Minute: Most folks around agriculture are aware of gates and “cattle guards”. The latter is a set of horizontal rails – wood or steel – placed in the ground at fence openings to prevent cattle from crossing. The bovines won’t go there fearing for their feet.
This story comes to us as true – but we are a bit uncertain.
Having read the report there were a hundred thousand cattle guards in
We understand farmers protested this sudden change in grazing policies. But before the Cabinet Secretary could respond – and presumably to express his humanitarian instincts, Mr. Biden, the Vice President stepped in and suggested since the order was abrupt should it not be delayed and reset to give time to for resettlement and retraining. Mr. Biden suggested the “cattle guards” be offered six months for of retraining and re-location.
Since there’s always some lack of clarity when they come in ‘over the transom’ so to speak, we thought it best to share the information with you before insisting on its implementation.
