What Do You Believe?

READ: Isaiah 50:4-10

The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. —Isaiah 50:4

Francis Collins earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry at Yale University and then entered medical school. During his training at a North Carolina hospital, a dying woman often talked to him about her faith in Christ. He rejected the existence of God, but he couldn’t ignore the woman’s serenity. One day she asked, “What do you believe?” Caught off guard, Collins’ face turned red as he stammered, “I’m not really sure.” A few days later the woman died.

Curious and uneasy, the young doctor realized that he had rejected God without adequately examining the evidence. He began to read the Bible and the writings of C. S. Lewis. A year later he fell to his knees and gave his life to Jesus Christ. The catalyst? A sincere question from an elderly woman whose physical heart was failing but whose concern for others was strong.

In a prophetic picture of the Messiah, Isaiah 50:4 says, “The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary.”

May we be ready with a timely word or a caring question to point others toward our Savior who offers life and peace to all.

Lord, let me be a shining light
In all I say and do,
That Your great love displayed in me
May lead someone to You. —Sper

The next person you meet may need to meet Christ.

Bible in One Year:   Psalms 66-67; Romans 7

Lookin good sweetie! I;ll bet you feel a LOT better having shed those extra pounds. I have about 15 more to go until I am at goal. BUT, I am not really working on it

Here is a pix from last night's mini reunion. This was our homeroom gang. Larry is the man from Mass on the floor next to me (and our class valedictorian) . He is in town for family reunion & so that is why we scrambled to get a group together.

It is hard to believe that next year we will have our 45th reunion. We had a pretty large class of about 800 & that is about half of what it would have been as a new high school opened 5 months before graduation. That brought a lot of hard feelings to split the group. I really felt the seniors should have stayed with the old group.

as you see I am wearing red flowers in support of the troops!

[GodBlessUSA]

It's a hot one today. Stay cool! :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning The Mayor
Good lesson. I have a friend who does not believe and I hope to someday come up with the right words to share with her to make her think more deeply about it.

[GodBlessUSA]

You all look great. It must have been a such a terrific time. Amazing how you all keep in touch. I hope to go to my next reunion. I went to the first..missed the last one.

[Lady Jag]

That’s a handsome group you pulled together there. You all looked like you were having fun and I get the impression there was gossip.

[MEG33]

I went out and started trimming and weed eating after I heard the triple digit forecast. I had to come in before finishing some heavy pruning on a large,tall bush..It looks pretty lopsided but it was just too hot for me ..I will try to get out earlier in the morning to finish...next week!

Lady J..You post such fun graphics,LOL.

Dolly..how great you look! I am so glad you all could do this.

GeeBee..I am cool now...I intend to feed the birds and my little raccoon..and that’s it outside for at least two days!

[Lady Jag]

Do you have the nasty heat and air, too?

I'm staying in. The crappy air is getting in here and that's bad enough so that my meds can't keep up. Too bad because the pool is 82º.

Tomorrow's air is expected to clear nicely and temps will go down to the low 80's. If the pool's temp. stays good, it'll be heavenly.

Cheers, Cool GeeBee!

[snugs]

Looking at the photo you posted you look as if you have been working on it you can definitely see you have lost some weight.

[Majie Purple]
