Made it to Alton and made it back, but the creeks and the river are rising...water was to the bottom of the bridge at the creeks by the time I came back from church, DB.
I 'spect Pole Cat Creek is out of it's banks.
Good sermon today. We could hear liquid sunshine hitting the roof...

What a beautiful day! The sun is out and the tempretures are seasonal. There is a gentle breeze blowing. The leaves are just past their prime but are still in glorious color. It is that last burst of fall just before the earth goes to sleep for the winter.
Lord promised it would be so till the end...it is the Word of a Gentleman higher than the order of Melchizedek. I will stand on that and enjoy the fall.

Amen! What a glorious day the Lord has made! Forecasting clear skies and temps in the low 70's. Nita and I are taking a picnic lunch to the lake today. Going to eat and watch the water cascading over the spillway. What a beautiful day to be alive and serving the Lord!

Yes, indeed, it is a wonderful day! The sun is shining, and the farmers are out in the fields harvesting just as fast as their equipment can go. I thought that it would still be too wet, but I don't see any tracks across the fields. Remember all the times in the Old Testement when God sent a wind to dry out wet ground? It seems that He has done that for us enough for the farmers to harvest.
I was going to write a bit about faith in God, but I can't get my ideas out of my head into written material.  It seems that I am a medical professional to the core when it comes to explaining things--we are notorious for talking above/beyond people.
So I decided that many of you here in this forum could do much better than I. And many of you have done much better than I. You have talked about your faith. You lead by example. People need to have the Truth shown to them, and they need hope.

Amen. Nothing more needs to be said than that.

Yes DB! Praise the Lord for rain! Good to see you out and about! 
The quiet rainy Sunday afternoon reminded me of quieter and gentler times... Sunday afternoons spent at my grandparents house on Maple Ave. visiting with cousins. Those were good times. We were just children then.
We are now our grandparents and we are spread out all over the United States from coast to coast.
I wonder if they, on rainy, cold Sunday afternoons, remember quiet days at Onnies and Joe's house on Maple Ave?
I imagine that they probably do with smiles on their faces just like I do.
Those were good days.

It's another beautiful day here! Lots of sunshine; the full moon has been just amazingly bright the last few nights. I am so fascinated by God's handiwork of the moon; I just do not understand how people can ignore God's workmanship when they look at the moon.
And the farmer across the road is harvesting his corn! He works so very fast that it only takes a few hours to harvest a field that is about 2 miles long and 1 mile wide.

If not for a decrease in my productivity, I could watch him go round and round on that tractor all day.

For safe keeping.
Found in the signature of a brother and friend, Lawrence.

"No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!"
-----
Amen.

Was reading a story Lawrence sent about an Israeli Commander during the Yom Kippur War who was accompanied into battle by a dove who insisted on riding on his shoulder. The Holy Spirit was riding on his shoulder and he knew it.
Lawrence drew attention to the fact that no matter what anyone does...God's plan for Israel, Jerusalem and the Jews will not be affected.
My mind was drawn back to one of my favorite stories in the Bible, the story of Joseph's bones. Joseph was so sure of the promises of God that he asked his body not be buried in Egypt. He asked that when the Hebrews returned to Canaan, his bones be taken back and burried in Canaan. Today he sleeps with his fathers in Israel.
The Lord kept His word and 400 years later the body of Joseph went home...
God will keep His word to the Hebrews now and no man can change that.
Amen.
Simply thoughts from a simple Christian woman standing in awe of the God of the Hebrews, Mighty and Powerful...who once sent a dove to identify His only Son...
Jesus.

A cave, a wood heater, fresh fish, and fresh coffee.
The Holy Bible, God's book, and the brethren, their thoughts, praises, admonitions, and thanksgivings for the goodness of the Lord Jesus.... what a place to fellowship.
Thanks be to God for His unpeakable gift!!
...and also for believers who share a common faith in the precious Lord Jesus Christ whom we shall soon see face to face!!
.. from the mouth of that cave I can hear the redeemed sing... shall we gather at the river.
