<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17026" style="font-size: 12pt;">Tomorrow, July 4, we will be privileged to celebrate the 240<sup>th </sup>anniversary
of independence for these United States of America. As I enjoy another
year of living in this great land of Freedom and Liberty, I am
continually confronted with two vitally important questions: </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17049" style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17051" style="margin: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17050" style="font-size: 12pt;">1. Does the average person truly understand the great heritage they possess as a citizen of these United States of America? </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17052" style="margin: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17053" style="font-size: 12pt;">2.
Does the average person understand their responsibility as Stewards of
this great heritage which our fathers and fore-fathers provided for us?</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17054" style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17056" style="margin: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17055" style="font-size: 12pt;">As
we take time to celebrate our numerous blessings of liberty and freedom
and remember the labor and sacrifice required to secure and protect our
liberty and freedom, we must give praise and thanks to our Sovereign
LORD and those multitudes who fulfilled their responsibilities and
maintained a good stewardship over this great heritage.</span><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17029" style="font-size: 12pt;"> As
we view the parades, enjoy the fireworks and think upon the images,
such as Old Glory and the Statue of Liberty, which represent our freedom
and liberty, I trust we will reflect upon the history of Ellis Island
as the millions that have passed through that great harbor into a
Republic that offered “Freedom and Opportunity” to all. I trust we will
take the time to reflect on the tremendous price paid by our fathers and
forefathers. In the wars of the past and present, many have and are
still paying the ultimate price to secure and keep the freedom and
heritage we enjoy today.</span>
</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17030" style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">As the original
thirteen colonies declared their separation from England they laid the
foundation that would serve as an anchor for the new Republic being
born. The second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence begins
with the words that laid that sure foundation. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17031" style="margin: 0px;">

<b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></b><b><span style="font-family: 'Benguiat Bk BT'; font-size: 11pt;">“We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467590607131_17079" style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">After the
successful long and bloody struggle to throw off the yoke of bondage,
the colonies were faced with the awesome task of establishing a
government for the “New Born” Republic. Having the wisdom from the
history of many failed nations and civilizations, they decided the only
form of government that could last would be one governed by an
unchanging set of laws [The Constitution]. The Preamble to that great
document reveals the wisdom and purpose of those who prepared it.</span></div>

which opens the door to many more gifts. One is the gift of being a part
of a local Fundamental Bible Church. (i.e. Membership; Fellowship;
Truth; Love; Service; Discipleship; Worship; etc.) </span></div>

A Presidential Blunder: My Response to Obama’s Address at the National Prayer Breakfast</h3>
<div class="entry-meta">
Posted by <a href="http://rzim.org/author">Ravi Zacharias</a> on February 9, 2015<br />
<br />
</div>
President
Barack Obama’s address at the National Prayer Breakfast on February 5,
2015 has reverberated through the corridors of the world and provoked
shock and dismay in numerous quarters. Even a professor at the
University of London commented on his shallow understanding of the
Crusades. I hesitated to write anything on the subject because it would
drag me into politics or into a sobering critique of Islam. I am not
sure that at a time like this either distraction would be wise, so let
me keep it to the minimum.<br />
<a href="http://rzim.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/20140916_Nabeel-at-The-Capitol-Washington-DC_012_edit0209_1200.png"><img alt="20140916_Nabeel-at-The-Capitol-Washington-DC_012_edit0209_1200" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-39296" height="333" src="http://rzim.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/20140916_Nabeel-at-The-Capitol-Washington-DC_012_edit0209_1200-1024x532.png" width="640" /></a><br />
For those who did not hear the talk, it is sufficient to say that it
was the most ill-advised and poorly chosen reprimand ever given at a
National Prayer Breakfast. I have been to several and have never, ever
heard such absence of wisdom in a setting such as this. I wasn’t at
this one but have heard the speech often enough to marvel at the
motivation for such thoughts. President Obama basically lectured
Christians not to get on a moral high horse in their castigation of the
ISIS atrocities by reminding them that the Crusades and slavery were
also justified in the name of Christ. Citing the Crusades, he used the
single most inflammatory word he could have with which to feed the
insatiable rage of the extremists. That is exactly what they want to
hear to feed their lunacy. In the Middle East, history never dies and
words carry the weight of revenge.<br />
<br />
There is so much I would love to say in response but shall refrain.
The President obviously does not understand the primary sources of
either faith for him to make such a tendentious parallel. The
predominant delight in his remarks would be in the Muslim world and the
irreligious. The next day Geraldo Rivera, opining favorably, made the
oft repeated lie that more people have been killed in the name of God
than in any other cause. Try telling that to the Chinese and the
Russians and the Cambodians and the victims of the Holocaust! Such
intellectual ignorance gains the microphone with pitiable privilege. If a
thinking person doesn’t know the difference between the logical
outworkings of a philosophy and the illogical ones, to say nothing of
the untruth perpetrated, then knowledge has been sacrificed at the altar
of prejudice.<br />
<br />
But let me get to the President’s final statement, after he had
wandered off into erroneous territory. That final remark was true. He
said, “It is sin that leads us to distort reality.” He was right. In
fact he embodied it in his talk. But there is good news for the
President. At least in the Christian message forgiveness is offered for
sin. In Islam it isn’t. You must earn it. May I dare suggest that if
Christians had been burning Muslims and be-heading them, he would have
never dared to go to Saudi Arabia and tell them to get off their high
horse. He unwittingly paid a compliment to those who preach grace and
forgiveness. That is the dominant theme of the Gospel. That is why we
sit in courtesy listening to the distortion of truth, the abuse of a
privilege, and the wrong-headedness of a message.<br />
<br />
I cannot recall when I have heard such inappropriate words at so
important an occasion, in such a time of crisis. The world is burning
with fear and apprehension. We need a message that will inspire and
encourage and redeem. Ironically, two years ago when Dr. Ben Carson
spoke and made some comments about our medical plan and the tax system,
the White House demanded an apology from him for straying into
controversial terrain, because it felt his comments showed disrespect
for the President.<br />
<br />
This year’s National Prayer Breakfast speech was a blunder in
thought. But there was a silver lining. In the end, President Obama
blundered into the truth. Sin distorts… and only Jesus Christ restores
the truth. Christ will ever rise up to outlive His pallbearers. Even
presidents will have to get off their high horses then and recognize the
Lord of life and hope and peace. There will be no speech making then.
Only a prayer of surrender… which is what the National Prayer Breakfast
was meant to be in the first place.Erastushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17759049835145298794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741955883798480224.post-65295790782259015802014-12-31T19:10:00.001-08:002014-12-31T19:10:26.247-08:00Happy New Year!<div class="yiv4654030624" id="yiv4654030624yui_3_16_0_1_1420080863568_27199">

<br />
Bible Reading: Matthew 1:18 - 25<br />
<br />
Bible Text: Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable (indescribable) gift. 2 Corinthians 9:15<br />
<br />
The shepherds in the hills around Bethlehem were told the news by the
angels. Mary and Joseph cared for the infant Christ in the stable. The
shepherds visited and then left them rejoicing and telling everyone
about the Christ Child. Mary kept all these things in her heart.<br />
<br />
For many that is the story of Christmas. But it does not end there.<br />
<br />
Christ Jesus, the very Son of Almighty God, was sent to this earth as a
baby to be the perfect sacrifice for our sin. He came to die for you
and for me so we could be forgiven and have a relationship with God the
Father through God the Son, Jesus Christ.<br />
<br />
In 2 Corinthians this
is what the Apostle Paul was writing about when he gave thanks to God
for the gift that was without comprehension. The greatest gift ever
given is Christ Jesus.<br />
<br />
Have you received the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ?<br />
<br />

We pray for Christ to come again.<br /><br />Christmas is the time to say,<br />fear not, God has a plan,<br />

Senate Confirms Honorable to FERC</strong>
</div>
The U.S. Senate has confirmed the nomination of Colette Honorable
to join the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).<br /><br />
Honorable, chairman of the Arkansas Public Service Commission since 2011
and the former president of the National Association of Regulatory
Utility Commissioners, will serve out the remainder of a term that ends
in June 2017.<br /><br />
FERC Chairman Cheryl A. LaFleur congratulated Honorable on her confirmation:<br /><br />
“Colette brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the important
issues we are facing. She and I worked together closely during her time
as the President of NARUC, and I very much look forward to continuing
that strong relationship when she joins the Commission.”

<i><b>EXODUS MOVIE REVIEW</b></i><br />
<br />
I said that I would bring you a review on the new “Exodus” movie. Today
my friend Scotty told me he went and saw it with his wife last night.
So I will give you his thoughts instead:<br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
“I was sorry I watched it, because instead of lifting God high, it
diminished Him. Atheist, Ridley Scott made the plagues logical rather
than miraculous. God is depicted as a young boy, and he’s a brat. I was
sorry that I paid money to support it.”<br />
<br />
Scotty saved me from putting my money into the pockets of the blasphemous.</div>

<div class="body">

<h3>
from David Bradley (December 4 2014) Daily GPI</h3>
<h2>
<b>Senate Committee Signals Thumbs-Up to Honorable's FERC Nomination</b></h2>
<br />
Colette D. Honorable's nomination to become a commissioner at FERC
received bipartisan support during a hearing of the Senate Energy and
Natural Resources Committee Thursday, and members said they hoped to
complete the process before the congressional session ends early next
month.<br />
<br />
"She will be an outstanding member of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission...She's honest, she's fair, she listens, she works harder
than anyone I've ever seen, and I just think she'll be a great
commissioner," said Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR), who, along with Sen. John
Boozman (R-AR), introduced Honorable's nomination to the committee.
"Just by virtue to Senator Boozman sitting here with me, you see that
she has across-the-board support in Arkansas."<br />
<br />
President Obama nominated Honorable, chairman of the Arkansas Public Service Commission (PSC), to FERC in August (see <em>Daily GPI</em>,<a href="http://www.naturalgasintel.com/articles/99544-obama-nominates-arkansas-psc-chair-to-be-ferc-commissioner"> Aug. 29</a>).
If confirmed by the Senate, Honorable would replace John Norris, who
resigned from FERC effective Aug. 20, nearly three years before his term
was due to expire (see <em>Daily GPI</em>,<a href="http://www.naturalgasintel.com/articles/99324-more-changes-at-ferc-as-commissioner-norris-resigns"> Aug. 8</a>).<br />
<br />
Honorable became a PSC commissioner in 2007 and has been chairman since
2011. She also serves as chairman of the board and president of the
National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. Before going
to the PSC, Honorable served as executive director of the Arkansas
Workforce Investment Board in 2007 and worked for Arkansas'
then-Attorney General Mike Beebe in various roles, including as his
chief of staff. She received a bachelor's degree from Memphis State
University and a law degree from the University of Arkansas at Little
Rock.<br />
<br />
"If confirmed to serve at FERC, I would continue to build upon the work
which I began several years ago in my beloved Arkansas, a place that
has taught me so much: to do good, to listen to the opinions of others
even when you don't agree, and to respect others and to serve the least
of these," Honorable said. "This is an exciting time to work in the
energy sector, but it is also a challenging time. I am up for this
challenge."<br />
<br />
Approval of Honorable's nomination by the committee seems certain, with
most senators in attendance Thursday, representing both sides of the
aisle, voicing their support.<br />
<br />
"This is just a breath of fresh air because you're the first person
that's been nominated to FERC that has truly had the experience to do
the job that we're asking you to do," said Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).
"That's having regulatory experience, being recognized by your peers,
having that expertise to bring immediately to something I think is very
vulnerable, our grid system, and how we produced reliable, affordable
and clean power in a balanced way. I appreciate that and look forward to
your taking the reins."<br />
<br />
Not present at the hearing was committee chairman Sen. Mary Landrieu
(D-LA), whose reelection campaign remains undecided nearly a month after
the general election (see <em>Daily GPI</em>,<a href="http://www.naturalgasintel.com/articles/100316-senate-republican-committee-leaders-expected-to-push-for-energy-exports">Nov. 5</a>).
Landrieu will face Republican Bill Cassidy in a runoff Saturday. Both
Landrieu and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), who chaired the hearing in her
place, have said they support Honorable's nomination.<br />
<br />
Consideration of Honorable's nomination had been delayed following the unexpected death of her husband in September (see <em>Daily GPI</em>,<a href="http://www.naturalgasintel.com/articles/99681-honorables-ferc-nomination-on-hold-following-husbands-death"> Sept. 11</a>).</div>

a Christian matures enough to understand God’s work and blessing, they
are able to develop a right attitude concerning what God has blessed
them with and are capable of proper Thanksgiving in Word and Action.</span></div>

the Holy Spirit gains control of the spirit of man, He gives
understanding of the great truths of God’s Word and man is able to
understand God’s abundant blessings and the reason for those blessings.
With the understanding and heartfelt gratitude produced by the Holy
Spirit and the understanding of God’s Word, the Christian will
experience an “Attitude of Gratitude” and express heartfelt
Thanksgiving.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">As the Christian
prays and studies the Word of God, the Holy Spirit works within their
spirit, growing and developing Spiritual Fruit within the soul. As the
Spiritual Fruit matures, the Christian’s thoughts, imaginations and
attitudes are changed and molded to conform to God’s Word and Will. When
the Christian’s thoughts are influenced and controlled by the Word of
God, their Words and Actions will reflect their thoughts, imaginations
and attitudes.</span></div>

there is proper understanding of God and His provision, the thinking
about and attitude toward God and His provision will produce heartfelt
Gratitude that will produce Words and Actions of Thanksgiving. Since

A careful man I ought to be,</div>

I do not dare to go astray,</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
For fear he'll go the self-same way.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
I cannot once escape his eyes,</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
Whate’er he sees me do,</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
He tries.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
Like me, he says he's going to be,</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
The little chap who follows me.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
He thinks that I am good and fine,</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
Believes in every word of mine.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
The base in me, he must not see,</div>

That little chap who follows me.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
I must remember as I go,</div>

Through summer sun and winter snow,</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;">
I am building for the years to be,</div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: Baskerville;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hubert Clyde
Hill<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;"><span style="font-size: large;">January 30, 1927 -
April 5, 2013</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">January 30,
1927 brought joy to Mary Ruth (Kern) Hill and her husband Henry Joseph Hill in
the mining camp at Toms Creek in Wise County, Virginia with the birth of their
first-born, Hubert Clyde Hill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">The youngster
grew and played with his siblings as each arrived in the Hill household. Tragedy came early for Hubert when his father
was killed in the mine in 1935.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">Too young to
work at a regular job to help feed the family, Hubert began working at odd jobs
helping anyone who would pay him to work in the fields. He later joined the Civilian Conservation
Corps Camp in Scott County and worked as a water boy before graduating to more
of the regular tasks that resulted in many of the beautiful forest areas of the
County.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">In 1942 he
moved to Kingsport to work at the Eastman plant. He was employed there until his retirement in
1986 with time out for his service during World War II.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">Hubert was a
tank driver in the Special Tank Battalion 738<sup>th</sup> known as the Great
Speckled Bird unit. His tank was always
at the head of the column with the loud speakers to ask for surrender of the
enemy. He served in the European Theater
and was involved in many battles, including the Battle of the Bulge. He earned a number of medals and ribbons
including the Bronze Star Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the Purple Heart Medal
and the European American Middle Eastern Service Ribbon. Wounds received during his time of service
resulted in life-long excruciating pain.
After recovery in the hospitals of Europe and the United States, he was
honorably discharged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: left;">
He returned home to marry his sweetheart, Erma Lee
Harless, whom he had met as one of his pen pals while in the Army. Together they established a home in the
Morrison City community of Kingsport and raised two children, Brenda and
Kenneth.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">Shortly after
his marriage, he found salvation in Christ Jesus his Lord on an altar at the
Morrison City Mission Church. Over the
years he became an accomplished Bible teacher and leader of the church, serving
as a Deacon for over 60 years. He was a
student of the Word of God and lived its precepts in his daily life. He was the head of his household and the
leader of his family. He led his family
to follow Christ and to trust in the Lord in all things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">In 1956 the
family was again impacted by tragedy when a drunk driver crashed into the
family as they were traveling to Christmas festivities. Hubert was pinned in the car with multiple
injuries including the amputation of his left leg. After much surgery and about a year in the
hospital, he returned home and renewed his responsibilities. He gave thanks to God for his healing and
thanks to his friends for helping sustain the family during that time of
devastation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">He was a man of
determination. He worked hard raising a
huge garden each year, serving the community, working at Eastman, tending to
his family, and serving the Church and the work of Christ Jesus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">In his final
years, while suffering from the ravages of Alzheimer’s, he continued to recite
scripture, sing hymns, and pray well past the time that it was expected that
would be possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">He had a deep
sense of responsibility and worked to show that any handicap would not deter
him from giving an honest day’s effort on the job, at home, or at church. Although his pain was unrelenting, he never
gave any indication of his suffering to those with whom he worked and
worshipped. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">Hubert has gone
to be with His Savior to enjoy an eternal
life that holds no more pain and suffering. The joy of his grand reunion with those who
have gone before him cannot be imagined.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">He has left
behind a family that loved him beyond measure.
His wife of 66 years, Erma Lee (Harless) Hill; daughter and son-in-law
Brenda and Ed Miller; son and daughter-in-law Kenneth and Janet Hill;
grand-sons Nathan Miller and wife Ashley; Matthew Hill and wife Amanda; and
Timothy Hill; grand-daughters Lee-Anna
Miller Thomas and husband Rocky, and Lydia Hill; great-grandchildren Presley Miller, Jon Thomas, Caleb Hill, and
Abigail Hill; his brothers Carl Hill and wife Reta, Rev. Joe Hill and wife
Joann, and sisters Henrietta Roach and Carolyn Cunningham and husband Bill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Baskerville;">“Precious in
the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We simply call her Grandma. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">She had some major heart malfunction last night and needed quite a bit of care at the clinic. They released her to come home for watchful rest and medication. She is very ill. So, please join the Hill Family in praying for Grandma's speedy recovery and for strength and wisdom for the Vega Family as they tend to her needs. I understand that Nancy is on 24-hour duty with Grandma so ask God to especially bless Nancy, too. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Thanks for your prayers!</span>Erastushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17759049835145298794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741955883798480224.post-52038632620163691272012-12-24T05:57:00.000-08:002012-12-24T05:57:17.854-08:00Christ Jesus - One Solitary Life<br />
<center>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><b>One Solitary Life</b></span></center>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another village. He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">He never owned a home. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put His foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but Himself...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. One of them denied Him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed upon a cross between two thieves. While He was dying His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth – His coat. When He was dead, He was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Nineteen long centuries have come and gone, and today He is a centerpiece of the human race and leader of the column of progress.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, all the navies that were ever built; all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that one solitary life.</span><br />

The surgery went well. Although there was a great amount of infection in the knee, the surgeon did not amputate the leg. He has implanted a metal rod and removed the knee apparatus. Peggy will not be able to bend her leg, but will be able to walk once the healing and rehabilitation is completed. She has been standing beside the bed and plans to go home tomorrow! Please continue to pray for the infection to be eradicated and for healing to be complete. God is most gracious!Erastushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17759049835145298794noreply@blogger.com0
