FReeper Canteen ~ Sunday Chapel ~ AND LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS ~ 24 July 2016

"AND LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS"

Matthew 28:20


One morning I stood on the bluffs overlooking the coast at Camp Pendleton. I spied an amphibious naval vessel just off shore. As I stood watching, it came into full view, then disappeared as the early morning fog came and went. The ship was always there, but it was only visible part of the time.

It spoke to me of the reality of God's presence. The truth is God is always there, but our changing moods affect our ability to see. It's good days and bad days again, or would you believe, it can change moment by moment. In the times when vision is less clear, it's truly faith that helps us see and enables us to believe enough to keep trying.

So, live by faith. Trust in the Lord and keep looking ahead. God is with us in the confusion of life.

Thanks Kathy!

A sad time, MeekMom was a sweetie, a real patriot and a lover of the Lord.

She rests peacefully now in the arms of Jesus.

Christ before me, Christ behind me,

Christ above me, Christ below me.

Hi Kathy! Just got back from our church’s high school mission trip at the Leech Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota. Long days, hot, exhausting...and wonderful.

Thanks...I am a little bit better, but it took a lot out of me.

I am stunned to hear of Kristin’s passing.

Dear Kathy,

I do understand this posting to be a teaching and exhortation, as it were, and at any other time other than this moment in this july of this year, I would not say this.

With all respect for the good you wish to spread with this posting, at this moment time, the ‘Lo’ statement snaps to mind any and all images, sounds recorded, and evil acts remembered of the hellspawn named Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I do apologize.

Good evening, radu...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

It rained almost all day yesterday, but I haven’t heard about the fire today. At least the wind direction changed.

Maybe more rain tomorrow and early in the week.

Anything on the horizon for rain for you?
