THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION
During my second month of night school, our professor gave a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Obviously this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper leaving the last question blank. Before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count on our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your lives, in your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her first name was Dorothy.
Unknown
One of the biggest pet peeves of my working life...without the "little people" doing their jobs, the folks "upstairs" couldn't function.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, or National Guardsman
Feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

Harvest Day
October 21, 2012
One autumn afternoon I drove past a field where a farmer had parked some massive machinery by the side of the road. A yellow caution sign read: Harvest in Progress. As I glanced over at the field, I knew instantly what the farmer had planted several months agotiny kernels of corn. I knew this because he was preparing to drive his harvesting equipment through acres of mature cornstalks.
While it may seem obvious that planting corn leads to harvesting corn, we sometimes deny the relationship between sowing and reaping in our spiritual lives. The apostle Paul wrote, Do not be deceived . . . ; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap (Gal. 6:7). Living to please our flesh yields corruption in the form of wanting what isnt ours, self-centeredness, and even substance abuse (5:19-21). Walking with the Spirit produces peace, kindness, and self-control (5:22-23). By Gods grace, we can choose to sow to the Spirit and reap eternal life (6:8).
Suppose Jesus declared today harvest day in our lives, and He asked us to gather up the yield of our everyday choices over the past year. What would we have to show Him?
Things of the world often pull at my heart,
But, Lord, help me see the end from the start;
Open my eyes to where my lifes going,
What I will reap from all Ive been sowing. K. DeHaan
The seeds we sow today determine
the kind of fruit well reap tomorrow.
Read: Galatians 6:1-10

Hi again, Kathy! Apparently I have developed some kind of bug in the last few days. I had another largely sleepless night last night after retiring around 10:30 p.m. I was up repeatedly during the night and could not find a comfortable position. After lingering in bed this morning until about 11:00, I finally got up and showered, etc. Still feel crummy.
Hopefully will be better tomorrow - if I'm still feeling the way I do today, I will probably not make it to Church. I just hope that these symptoms are gone by Monday - can't afford to miss any way. :)

WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "
Our Founding Fathers secured this essential freedom against overwhelming odds through great adversity, securing it first with the blood of our Patriots shed in the War of the Revolution, then through the course of intense and extended debate, leading finally to the adoption of the Bill of Rights.
This cherished Freedom is under attack now, not only by the media, not only by academia, but by the Executive Branch of the United States Government itself. The President and Department of Justice have abdicated their sworn duty to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. They have instead, with full knowledge of the enormity of their acts, systematically betrayed the American People in repeated transgressions and usurpations, thereby assuming the role of principal domestic enemy in what will be the defining Constitutional struggle of our times.
We are called at this crucial moment to bear Witness to the Truth of God, to uphold and to defend this vital, First Freedom and the Freedoms that derive from it. Without Freedom of Conscience, what substantive Freedom could we continue to enjoy? |
