A Great Sign On The Highway!

September 28, 2024
For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 100:5

If every major highway had this sign it might make people think about their destination.

Till the Storm Passes By

September 27, 2024
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6

This hymn is perfect for those who are in the path of a storm. It can be a storm like a hurricane or a storm in your life, rest in the Lord, Jesus.

Till the Storm Passes By

In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face,
While the storm howls above me, and there’s no hiding place.
‘Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

Refrain:
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

Many times Satan whispered, “There is no need to try,
For there’s no end of sorrow, there’s no hope by and by”
But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I’ll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies.

When the long night has ended and the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore;
In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by. 


Music and Lyrics by Mosie Lister (1958)

Waiting Is Hard!

September 13, 2024

Are you waiting for something? Children wait for their birthday or Christmas and it seems like forever for that day to come. Adults are not much different. A young person may be waiting for their wedding day. Will it ever get here? A promotion at work, or a new house may be what a mature person may be waiting for. An older person might be waiting for a phone call from a child or grandchild, or something more serious like the results from a medical procedure. All these things can be stressful at any age, but the Bible tells us to wait on the Lord. He will strengthen our hearts. What a precious promise. Whatever you are wanting for, put your trust in the Lord. His timing is always perfect.

Tempted? God Is Faithful!

The Little Red Hen!

July 19, 2024

One day as the Little Red Hen was scratching in a field, she found a grain of wheat.
“This wheat should be planted,” she said. “Who will plant this grain of wheat ?”
“Not I,” said the Duck.
“Not I,” said the Cat.
“Not I,” said the Dog.
“Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
Soon the wheat grew to be tall and yellow.
“The wheat is ripe,” said the Little Red Hen. “Who will cut the wheat ?”
“Not I,” said the Duck.
“Not I,” said the Cat.
“Not I.” said the Dog.
“Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
When the wheat was cut, the Little Red Hen said, “Who will thresh this wheat ?”
“Not I,” said the Duck.
“Not I,” said the Cat.
“Not I,” said the Dog.
“Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen.’ And she did.
When the wheat was all threshed, the Little Red Hen said, “Who’ll take this wheat to the mill?”
“Not I,” said the Duck.
“Not I,” said the Cat.
“Not I,” said the Dog.
“Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
She took the wheat to the mill and had it ground into flour. Then she said,
“Who will make this flour into bread ?”
“Not I,” said the, Duck.
“Not I,” said the Cat.
“Not I,” said the Dog.
“Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
She made and baked the bread. Then she said, “Who will eat this bread ?”
“Oh! I will,” said the Duck.
“And I will,” said the Cat.
“And I will,” said the Dog.
“No, no!” said the Little Red Hen. “I will do that.” And she did.

This story was read to me as a child, to teach the value of work. Today I see it from a Christian perspective. There are people who are not saved and many Christians are not willing to go out and work in God’s fields. There are only a few “Little Red Hens” in our churches today. Be a “Little Red Hen” today and witness for The Lord.

John 4:35
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Born Again!

July 2, 2024

The United States of America! This week is her birthday. When the USA was founded one of the purposes was freedom OF religion.

We have twisted it into freedom FROM religion. Not at all what our forefathers intended.

The only way to turn things back to around is for individuals to be born again. When the people turn back to God He will bless our Nation.

Something to think about and pray about.

Have you been born again? Have you ask Jesus to be your Savior?

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭

Who Jesus Is!

June 21, 2024

This verse we usually associate with Christmas. However, think about it.

A Child is given. That Child is Jesus. The verse describes who Jesus is. Wonderful, Counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

He is so much more than that. He is our Savior, Shepherd, Guide, Protector and so much more.

Today, praise Jesus for who He is to you.

The precious verses that we only use at Christmas or Easter are verses to be read and cherished all year long.

A Worthy Cause

June 2, 2024

This is a photo of Carolyn Curtis Grandson’s Family. John Slater is a missionary to Ireland. He is doing a wonderful job as he pastors Mallow Bible Fellowship.

When I was there a week ago the church was full.

John has a wonderful wife and five young children.

They have one great need which he would never ask for himself.

Their van that he uses not only to transport his family but also helps the people of his congregation get from place to place including church as most people do not have a vehicle or even know how to drive.

I just received news that his van cannot be repaired.

Anyone who would like to help this worthy cause can donate at the following address. All funds are tax deductible.

Any donation can go through their mission board. GAP Missions https://www.gapmissions.org/donate-to-gap-missions, select his name (John Slater) from the drop down menu and then “Van fund” in the comment. Or if prefer to give through a check:

Preparing For a Trip!

May 16, 2024

When we prepare for a trip, especially a long one, there is much to do. What is the best way to get there?

Should we fly or drive? Where will we stay? What is the cost?

When all the plans are finalized, then we wait with great expectation.

Everyone has a final trip to make for all eternity. The greatest plans for a trip we will ever make.

There is only 2 destinations. Heaven or the Lake of Fire.

Where our journey ends is entirely our choice.

There is only one way to Heaven and Eternal Life. That is by accepting Jesus as our Savior.

Have you made your plans for the trip for eternity?

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6

What Do You Think About?

May 4, 2024

Do you feel discouraged? Depressed? Nobody cares? I’m ugly! Something terrible will happen today. Negative thoughts.

What a beautiful day. God loves me. I am blessed. I see so much beauty in what God has created. I am thankful. Positive thoughts.

Proverbs 23:7a For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:

God’s Word has much to say about how we think. What are you thinking about?
