Happy New Year!
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled. though the mountains shake with its swelling. Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Psalm 46: 1-3, 10,11
Welcome Fall!
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years.” Genesis 1:14
Be still…
“That day out on the water, when the fish just wouldn’t biteI put my pole down, I floated around, was just so quietAnd I could hear my old man sayin’ “Son, just be still‘Cause you can’t find peace like this in a bottle or a pill” Larry Fleet, Where I Find God. In Psalm 46:10 God says “Be still, and know that I am God.” Life is busy, take time today, and hopefully EVERY day, to be still and know that He is God. He will reveal Himself to you if you will let him!
Happy Thanksgiving!
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Life is harder…
We’ve had a couple of unsuccessful burglary attempts in our community recently. Both were perpetrated on camera. One set of bad guys looked for, but failed to find the cash register in a local business. Uninterested in the contents of the store they left disappointed. The other crew went to the trouble of cutting a hole in a fence to steel an ATV, but failed to have the needed expertise to move a tractor with the keys in it out of the way to facilitate the theft. They also left empty handed. As the saying goes, “life is hard, but it’s harder if you’re stupid.”
Food for Thought…
We’ve only had an instrument to record temperatures on earth for about 400 years. Wide spread use of the instrument and accurate record keeping came much later than that. The highest reading recorded in Death Valley (134 degrees) was set over a century ago in 1913. How are all the “experts” convinced that the climate is changing? I do have on reliable authority that the climate will change. “But, the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat…”. God has a plan and has recorded it for anyone interested. Read it for yourself!

In as much then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is , the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Hebrews 2:14-15 Merry Christmas
