I have studied many years, and have come to believe that the word must be revealed to understand its deeper meaning. I am sure most or all of you have experiences such revaluation, after reading a passage for years and hundreds of times, you read it and see words and meaning you have never seen before. In recent years, I have come to recognize the story of the Prodigal Son to be one of the most Beautiful stories in the Bible. The son, having rejected his fathers house and ways, left to do it on his own, and ended up destitute and hungry in a pig stye. His son had hit the bottom, the lowest level a "Jew" could sink -- covered with mud and pig excrement he went back home in hope of being a servant. But his Father "watching from afar" (God is watching) "Ran to meet his son" and "hugged and kissed him" (Remember he is covered in mud and excrement) and "put a robe on his shoulder, sandals on his feet, and a ring on his finger, and ordered a great fest/party" God is not waiting to judge you for the sins you have committed, "He is watching from afar, and will run to hug and kiss us when we return, and put a robe on righteous on our shoulders and sandals on our feet and a ring on our finger, and set us at the feast". I don't know about the other people, but that is the God I serve, the same God that sacrificed his son so that I might take on the mantle of his righteousness. You are righteous through Christ, he has paid for your sins, his blood can cover any sin. When we gave our lives to Christ and accepted the "gift" of his salvation, we became heirs with him and no longer servants. "I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins I will remember no more."

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls. (1 Pet 1:3-9)
good morning

With the summer we've had, I think everyone is ready for
winter. We didn't have a spring. Our last frost was on
May 10th, May the 15th we hit 90 degrees. It's been
hot ever since.
How are you doing? Ready for the week?
Well, it'll still be summer for some time, but yeah, fall is nice here, pretty mild and no skeeters and stuff, but from mid October it is getting dark early. From Nov/Dec it is snowmobile time.
.
We very seldom get snow, snowmobile ha, jet ski yea. People are
still swimming in the ocean in Nov. I do like the leaves changing
colors though. We just want some cooler weather.

we have a couple of hot humid days ahead, followed by some cool Canadian air starting Wednesday.
open windows at night air, as opposed to the AC, which my dad called 'canned air'.
