Well said my good friend. You just gave me a spot of hope on an otherwise trying day.

Interesting that you should ping me to this today as I'm in John 15 studying today.

Summarizing John 15:18-25: If the world hated Jesus, we should not be surprised that His followers are similarly rejected. Jesus' message and mission confront personal sin, a grave offense to those who prefer self-rule. As believers increasingly reflect Jesus, the world around us responds in hostility. Rebellious humanity hates redeemed humanity.

I needed this study today. It's no surprise I have my ups and downs about the state of the world today and how evil is running rampant. I'm ashamed of some of my posts here about it. Today I have renewed confidence and will keep myself in God's word because WE my friend, know the outcome. It is written.

As the Doxology sings:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creature here below,
Praise Him above ye heavenly Hosts,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

This is why I focus on my own community. Teach those I can, mark for arty those I can’t but above all be cheerful and positive. Seems to be working.

Amen.

I am doing this right now - connecting with people from church and ways to serve. I think there are two parts of turning things around in America, being involved on a bigger stage and being connected with people around us.

And prayer.

So am I.

Today I have renewed confidence and will keep myself in God's word because WE my friend, know the outcome.

Indeed!

It is written.

Good words to live by, Laz, THANK YOU! I have concerns in my life, but I also have many blessings. We can’t help but look at what’s wrong in the world, but we should never lose sight of what’s right, especially in our own personal universe. It’s balance. It’s a counterweight, if you will, and it helps keep us sane, I think.

What a wonderful summation. Thank you.

You’re in GA. We should get together for a Freeper Meet.

It is all true, what both of you say. :)

It is not a small thing in effort or consequence to keep these things in mind in all of our activities but the consequence would be good and the effort well rewarded.

Stay safe, stay awake and to thine own self be true!

Wise words, Laz.

And, again. Thank you so much for calling out the prayer warriors on my behalf. Meant a lot. And for all who prayed.

I didn’t even know my sister has RSV and pneumonia in a room on the floor below me at the same time.

I was cut off for quite a while.

As Rush used to say..”I wake up every day and am glad That I did.
I now wake up every day and count my Blessings...It takes some time!

And it was three years ago this week that we lost Rush.
