he delivered me,
because he delighted in me.”

“Why should I speak of physics ethics or logic?
All that human tongue can say is in Holy Scripture.
Its authority is greater than the power of the whole human spirit.”

The elevator knows no purgatory. It will take you up. It will take you down.
The last thing you want is to be “stuck” in an elevator. 😦
A-N-D the last thing you want is to be stuck (when dying) with the LIE of purgatory.

There is coming a day when
All we have known,
All we have grown,
All we have sown,
Will be instantly sealed in place.
By His mercy
We shall rise,
Through His receding skies,
Having said our last “good byes,”
To meet, the first time, our Savior face to face.
O Earth
This land of trials and tears,
This realm of sorrows and fears,
This time of gossip and sneers,
Will forever slip down – down, out, and away.
And forever
We will be privileged to be,
With Him “who died for me,”
And His glory we shall see,
In His land of light, love, and endless day!

ON THIS DATE
William Jennings Bryan was born 3/19/1860, Salem, IL, to Silas Lillard & Mariah Elizabeth (Jennings) Bryan. Silas was a Scotch-Irish, Jacksonian Democrat serving the state senate & later as state circuit judge. WJB was home schooled to age ten using the Bible & McGuffey Readers, then attended Whipple Academy, & Illinois College (valedictorian) & Union Law College, later part of Northwestern Univ. (Chicago). Though he attended both a Methodist & a Baptist church in his youth he became a Presbyterian.
While he prepared for his bar exam he taught high school. In this era he married Mary Elizabeth Baird (10/1/1884), who also became a lawyer (they had two children). They soon moved to Lincoln, NE where Bryan began his life in politics being elected to the Fifty-second & Fifty-third Congresses (3/4/1891 & 3/3/1895). He is said to have “electrified” the Democratic Convention (1896) with his speech “Cross of Gold” & was selected as their presidential nominee. He also ran (unsuccessfully) in 1900 & 1908.
He was Secretary of State under Wilson serving 3/4/1913 – 6/9/1915. Bryan true to his convictions resigned, disagreeing with Wilson going to war with Germany. Bryan’s defense of the Bible (Scope’s Monkey Trial) was not a show – he believed the Great Book. Bryan College (Dayton, TN, site of the trial) was erected in his memory. NOTE: Don’t believe all you read about Bryan – his opposition to evolution was/is not popular & makes him a target for pseudo scientists (1Ti 6.20) as they worship “science.”
