“Every one who can preach the truth
and does not preach it
incurs the judgment of God.”
– Justin Martyr, exact source unknown (to me)

If your grandchild gets everything he/she wants from you, you have one of two problems.
-
You have too many dollars,
-
OR You do not have enough sense. 🙂 or 😦

SECOND HAND
Posted in uncategorized, tagged second hand on July 30, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Second hand, left-overs. and clothes handed down
Have all been a part of your life.
Since you agreed to be,
A mate to me,
A poor teacher’s wife.
Second-hand is a thought, at which people frown,
(Antique is a fancy word.)
The left-overs some dread
– Our daily bread –
Others waste; how absurd!
2
“Hand-me-down” clothes (despised adjectives to nouns)
You have re-made by the sack.
These three things are not all,
I could recall,
The list would not slack.
Darling, you’re the best mate and mother ’round.
I’m glad you’ve married me,
And became the mother
(Like no other).
Does one, plus one, make three?

God supplied our need in 2013

In 1992 I started pastoring a church in South Dakota
previously pastored by Bro Harold Greer. When I heard how God, upon his retirement, allowed them to buy a little place in Nebraska very reasonably I was encouraged that He could do the same for us when we needed it. He did.
Three years ago today I carried my wife across the threshold of a humble 1340 sq. ft. cottage; when I did, it was debt free! Many work-hours later (wish I knew how many – but when working for yourself labor’s cheap 🙂 ) and many dollars later, it’s a nice little home with a wonderful location. Many pastors work (full/part-time) and buy their personal house; that is between them and God. In most of my pastorates/school teaching years I had not felt free to do anything but work full-time for the church and in my study. God supplied our need in 2013 and He can supply yours when His time is right. Praise the Lord!
