Marissa is getting tired; she asked that I tell everyone thank you for the birthday wishes. She was really impressed.
It took her forever to make a post. LOL
She’ll be a regular before I know it.

HI Amy, Pollywog. Chris Sheats was a dear friend of mine.
He was not related, but I could not have loved the man more than if he had been a blood relative. The Rickenbacker I speak of in the poem is one he rebuilt for me, all I did was refinish it. He, like another more distant aquaintance, John Zeidler, was a gifted man who died way too young.
All my best,
StarfireIV

A Legacy Of Repentance
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart. Psalm 51:17
All nations have heroes, but Israel may be alone in making epic literature about its greatest heros failings (Ps. 51). This eloquent psalm shows that Israel ultimately remembered David more for his devotion to God than for his political achievements.
Step-by-step, the psalm takes the reader through the stages of repentance. It describes the constant mental replays, the gnawing guilt, the shame, and finally the hope of a new beginning that springs from true repentance.
In a remarkable way, Psalm 51 reveals the true nature of sin as a broken relationship with God. David cries out, Against You, You only, have I sinned (v.4). He sees that the sacrifices God wants are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart (v.17). Those, David has.
In his prayer, David looks for possible good that might come out of his tragedy and sees a glimmer of light. Perhaps by reading this story of sin others might avoid the same pitfalls, or by reading his confession they might gain hope in forgiveness. Davids prayer is answered and becomes his greatest legacy as king. The best king of Israel has fallen the farthest. But neither he, nor anyone, can fall beyond the reach of Gods love and forgiveness.
How blest is he whose trespass
Has freely been forgiven,
Whose sin is wholly covered
Before the sight of heaven. Psalter

A very lovely message this morning, Rus. Thank you for bringing God’s word each day.
Hope your trip has been nice and productive....Tennessee is having a lot of cold weather and I heard this week its going to get real bitter in the evening temps and not too hot for daytime. Weatherman said it may warm up enough to snow this weekend!! LOL!

We may get into the middle 40’s today but temps are dropping each day this week.
I realize that you are used to really cold weather in Buffalo!
And probably have much more snow there. Spring will come again is my only consolation....I hate cold weather.
