Isa 1.18
“Come now & let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool”
“…say no more than you know
the God above will say ‘Amen’ to…”
– John Bunyan
It’s been yrs (decades for some) since I’ve seen your face. Without being unkind I dare say you’re not the epitome of beauty/handsomeness. I hasten to add – nor an extreme of ugliness. Some of us are un-happy with an arch to the eyebrow, curve to the mouth, a nose shape, ect. Friend, a reminder, you (& I) will soon leave physical features on this earth. Let us strive to be lovely INSIDE. After all, that’s what God sees right now. His assessment is the true value of our looks. Blessings. – 1/24/22
“There is no dignity quite so impressive & no independency quite so impressive
as living within your means.”
– Calvin Coolidge
God does not NEED any movie, pic, statue, painting. Few (if any) of these truly help His cause. – 1/24/22
H. ROBB FRENCH [1]
Today the old soldier goes to rest
Slipped gently in earth’s pocketed vest
And the world in useless business of years
Will not notice nor care for the saint’s soft tears
H. Robb French is dead.
He pastored and plead with his church
Preached mightily from many a camp “perch”
He prayed and believed, believed and prayed
Until God came, until God stayed
But today Robb French is dead
A camp in southern peripheral land
Swamp and pine and palmetto and sand
And from that camp a school did grow
Zooks and Frenches the “seed” did sow
Now the giant French is dead
In pick-up truck, he and his wife
Geraldine, she was, other half of his life
Traveled the circuit, delivering the Word
Revival and Rapture–that’s what you heard
Before the revivalist French was dead.

Heads UP. God bless everyone who’s home schooling but watch what books you have the child read. This, of course, includes the main books/booklets for basic subjects. But also includes books you provide for extra-curricular reading as well. Your basic texts may be Bible-centered but if the other books you allow (from a library or otherwise) are full of sinful people, war, sex-driven ideas you are not home schooling as you Could, nor as you Should. Be alert. satan is working to ruin your child. – 1/24/22
Jas 4.17
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good,
& doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
“Never do anything I would not want
to be doing the last hour of my life.”
– Jonathan Edwards
The Lord built into you a Moral Compass. Instead of always pointing north, It always points to God. If you expect to make it out of the Big Woods alive, believe a regular compass. Your only hope of going to heaven is to believe God & His Moral Compass. Do not mess with it. Do not dabble in cults (partly “christian” or not). Do not believe the average preacher in what used-to-be a holiness church. Do not read a false bible. Walk (if need be crawl!) toward God. Keep moving His direction. Keep saying “Yes.” – 1/24/22
“There never was a good war
or a bad peace.”

[1] Brother French 12/26/1891-1/24/1985 was the most Godly man I’ve known. Privileged to have been in a few Saturday prayer meetings at cottage & sought his advice. Many men have my respect but he stands above all.
