5 months. Wow. Sorry for the lack of pictures. It is due to the lacking a camera. Lacking a camera is due to lacking funds to buy a new one. Lacking funds to buy a new one is due to lacking a motor in my car. Eventually I will get a new camera and this blog will be active again, it is just (kind of) slow going at this point. In the meantime, sometimes I can coax my camera to come on for a few minutes at a time thus the above picture.

Days are filled with sorrow and care,
Hearts are lonely and drear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

Cast your care on Jesus today,
Leave your worry and fear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

Troubled soul, the Saviour can see,
Ev'ry heartache and tear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near.

And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

"How ungrateful for a child of God to repine at the dealings of such a tender
and faithful parent! O, the ingratitude of unbelief! Who can accuse the Lord of unfaithfulness
to the least of his promises? Why, then, should we refuse to trust him, when the assurances
of his watchful care and love are so full and so abundant?"
-Harvey Newcomb

As important as your past is, it is not as important
as the way you see your future. - Anonymous

". . .this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before. . ."
Phillipians 3:13b

2008-08-20T11:55:00.000-07:00

"Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises. . ."

"You have so many promises, that all the conditions and positions of the believer are met.
I sometimes liken the promises to the locksmith's great bunch of keys,
which he brings when you have lost the key of your treasure chest, and cannot unlock it.
He feels pretty sure that out of all the keys upon the ring some one or other will fit,
and he tries them with patient industry.
At last! yes! that is it, he has moved the bolt, and you can get at your treasures!
There is always a promise in the volume of inspiration suitable to your present case.
Make the Lord's promises your delight and your counselors, and they will befriend you at every turn.
Search the Scriptures, and you shall meet with a promise
which will be so applicable to you as to appear to have been written after your trouble had occurred!
So exactly will it apply, that you will be compelled to marvel at the wonderful tenderness and suitableness of it."
-Spurgeon

2008-08-19T08:11:00.000-07:00

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

"Until we are brought into the depths of poverty, we shall never know nor value Christ's riches.
But whatever your need be, it is not beyond the reach of divine supply!
And the deeper your need, the more is Jesus glorified in supplying it.

No state in which the soul can get, is beyond the reach of the almighty and compassionate love,
that burns in the breast of the Redeemer!"
- Joseph Philpot

It is comforting to know that the God who guides us sees
tomorrow more clearly than we see yesterday.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged
sword, piercing even to the dividing assunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight:
but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed unto the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come bodly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find
grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:12-16

"To know that no alterations of time, no earthly changes, affect His faithfulness to His people. And more than this; no changes in them, no unfaithfulness of theirs, causes the slightest change in God. Once a Father, always a Father; once a Friend, always a Friend." - Octavius Winslow

I Peter 1:3-9 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
-- F. Lehman

Because the indwelling Christ resides in us, God is literally
establishing His rule in the world through us. As we say yes to
God and live our lives in agreement with Him, He lives, rules,
and reigns through us everywhere we go and in everything we do.

    -- David Edwards

2007-09-20T21:56:00.000-07:00




In some ways, it's those of us who are most familiar with the
Spirit's promises who are in the greatest danger. Someone has
said that familiarity may not breed contempt, but it takes the
edge off of awe. Something like this is true about the rich
texts and glory-filled promises that drop  the jaws or widen the
eyes of newcomers but provoke no more than a raised eyebrow in
the old-timers who have ceased to dream.

     -- Jim McGuiggan

Think of these things: whence you came, where you are going, and
