NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD

The scrip tells us that the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life have nothing to do with God. Sounds to me that it just might have something to do with the unclean thing we need to stop touching, as we come out from THEM, whoever they are.

COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM

The scrip that keeps rolling over in my mind is the one that tells us to "Separate yourselves, come out from among them, and touch not the unclean thing". Who are the them and what is the unclean thing, and why are we still touching it. But' if we will pursue understanding and obey the instruction the very next words tell us, "and I will be a Father unto you".

WRESTLING WITH FEELINGS BELOW MY THOUGHTS

Today has been a very strange day of wrestling with feelings below the surface of the waters where you normally float the boat of your thoughts. My thoughts are so dispersed I barely have a raft let alone a boat.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

We always have our own little parade here in South Norfolk Historic District of Chesapeake, Virginia. We only had two bands today, but at least one of them was local Bagpipers. We also had a lot of great antique cars, and also the Khedive in their mini-cars, and Veterans in past military vehicles. The one disappointing thing was I was the only person who seemed to remember we are supposed to stand and put our hand over our heart when the colors, containing that Grand Old Flag passed by. Watched "1776" on Antenna TV, watched "Liberty Or Death" on WHRO. We need the spirit and oratory of Patrick Henry in dealing with our contemporary issues, which assail us with a war of disarming subversions rather than open armed confrontation.

ENCOURAGING WORD

Just when you thought there were no answers, God makes a connection with someone who makes sense again.

STAYING ALIVE

Trying to keep up with all the nonsense in the medical community. They need to take their jobs more seriously.
