Being Together!

Went fishing this morning and did not catch a thing. I was however reminded of a precious truth through a flock of God’s little birds. I watched them at the waters edge delighting in everything God has provided them but I thought the thing they most valued was being together.

They were intent on staying close to each other as they dashed up and down the shore or flew in groups to different areas of the beach to feed. They were clamoring over each other to get at the tasty morsels found in the newly soft sand made accessible by the action of the small waves.

I immediately felt warm inside recognizing that as important as each of God’s creations are to Him He tells us we are His chosen children. I thought about all the friends I have God has provided in my life to bring me security, accountability and affection! God you are so very good!

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1 

Lemmings

It has come to my attention that quite a few folks do not know what a Lemming is or the interesting behavior that makes them famous. This is a great little video describing them.

Fishing With Three

Retrieving the RV-7

Today I helped move a plane. There are many things you can construct with aluminum but an aircraft has to be the best thing of all.

Here are some images from the web that show the final result should you ever finish riveting.

My Check Is In The Mail Obama

I just made my contribution to the government. I sure hope it helps them with all their bailouts.



Disclaimer: I cannot afford to have H&R Block do my taxes much less anyone else. Why pay anyone anything I say when I can just do it myself and the government will see that I do not make any mistakes.

Newborn Eyes

It could be that babies are born into the world with perfect knowledge having just come from the creator. They arrive fully aware of all the mysteries of the universe and no way to tell us what they will soon forget just as we did before them.

Chilly Baptism

This evening we the church had a baptism and it was chilly weather. The temperature was easily in the upper fifties and the wind was gusting. There were about twenty people making a public profession of their faith in Jesus by following our Lord in baptism.

It was exciting to be gathered with so many in conditions most would describe as less than ideal. It was what I would describe as cozy and the warm smiles were made that much more agreeable with each cold blast of air that swirled around the garden. I touch two fingers to the surface of the pool just to satisfy my own curiosity and find it to be nice and warm. I was still glad that I was not going to be one of the people who would have to leave the warmth of the pool and dash to the house to dry off and change.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1John 2:15+16

God has a plan for each of us and I am convinced it is not at all complicated. In fact it is all taken care of by our perfect Heavenly Father with our only responsibility being simple childlike obedience. The world is complicated but God is not.The world offers you anything you want for a price because it loves your money. God offers you everything you need unconditionally because He loves you. The world takes God gives. The world entices you to be in bondage sin. God invites you to be liberated from sin.
