Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 It's been a busy month. I know I need to take more time to rest so as to be renewed in strength, and refreshed... I continue to pray as I await word from my friends who live in Carthage, Missouri. This is a small industrial city not far from the much larger city of Joplin...
At approximately 9:30 this morning Mister Smithers stumbled out the front door of the prison. In the five or six years that I have known him, Smithers always walked and talked as if he were intoxicated...
My heart was touched the day before when I received a letter from a member of the United States Marines...
To feel the crunch of the semi-frozen ground under my boots as I walk across the vast expanse of Canada's Arctic tundra is an exhilarating experience...
Today I had a visit from my friend, Mark. He's an active member of the Gideons, a worldwide organization that distributes Bibles into the hands of anyone who wants one...
And many false prophets shall rise,
and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:11 I believe we are living in what the Bible says are "perilous times." "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come (II Timothy 3:1)..." And when He (the Holy Spirit) is come,
He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. John 16:8 As I was reading the Bible this morning I began to ponder the work of the Holy Spirit... Out of Zion the perfection of
beauty, God hath shined. Psalm 50:2 This morning's worship service went very well and God was with us. However, before the service started I stood before the congregation and asked them if they had any prayer requests... Pray without ceasing.

It can definitely change things, not because a Christian's words are powerful, but because we serve an all-powerful God who can, when necessary, move mountains and rearrange circumstances whenever He is in agreement with our prayers... The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is might;
He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, and joy over thee with singing. Zephaniah 3:17 I hope the readers of my journal who know Jesus Christ as Savior are allowing yourselves to be filled with the joy and contentment of the Lord, that you are resting in His love... Not everyone is blessed with a good mother. Even fewer have been blessed by two good mothers like I was. This is true. I had the privilege of having two wonderful mothers...
If my people, which are called by My name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14 Genuine humility, prayer, seeking God's face and a desire to repent of sin are the prerequisites needed for the Lord to keep His blessings upon a nation, and to heal the land from whatever damage sin and wickedness has caused it to experience... For the preaching of the cross is to them
