Heaven Day 6 & 7

A precious pile on the pontoon!

Day 6

Psalm 68:32-34

Now sing praises to God. Every kingdom on earth, sing to the Lord!

Praise the one who rides across the ancient skies; listen as he speaks with a mighty voice. Tell about God's power! He is honored in Israel,  and he rules the skies. Just do it!

Just sing!

Probably the number one favorite activity with the grands so far this summer has been singing "silly" songs with Papa in his truck!  Most of them are old beach tunes, but the one that is #1 on their list this year is Alan Jackson's song, "Where I Come From"

"I said where I come from It's cornbread and chicken Where I come from, a lot of front porch sitin' Where I come from, tryna make a livin' And workin' hard to get to Heaven  Where I come from"

Each time they sing, their Papa makes the point that this song is NOT theologically sound.  Jesus did all the work on the cross for us to get to Heaven.

Day 7 

Psalm 115:3                                                                     God is in the heavens, doing as he choses. 

Hmm, shall it rain today or be a warm day filled with soft breezes?  How many babies will be born? Will the stars shine brightly or is tonight a night with cloud coverage. Whose heart will stop and enter into my presence?

While we have free will, God can order a day that sways our decisions and stirs our hearts. 

Yesterday, I was studying God's Word with a new friend and we were discussing who God is and how what He can do is beyond our human comprehension. 

Our litter of grands on our version of a puddle pad! They are up to interesting things themselves.  They were attempting to roll themselves up inside this pad like a taco. Oh to be a kid!

Be amazed by God today.

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
