Lovely post, thank you Amy. I say my prayers when I go to bed and sometimes it’s not the best time. Fears come, and sometimes tears come, but I keep on praying. ((HUGS))

All We Need To Know
August 4, 2014
Read: Romans 7:18-25
In a Fernando Ortega rendition of Just As I Am, Billy Grahams voice can be heard faintly in the background. Dr. Graham is reminiscing about an illness during which he believed he was dying. As he mused on his past, he realized what a great sinner he was and how much he continues to need Gods daily forgiveness.
Billy Graham was putting an end to the notion that apart from God were okay. We can feel good about ourselves, but that confidence must come from the knowledge that were greatly loved children of God (John 3:16), not that were very good children (Rom. 7:18).
The first step in becoming a truly good person as a follower of Christ is to stop pretending that were good on our own and to ask God to make us as good as we can be. We will fail many times, but He will keep growing us and changing us. God is faithful andin His time and in His wayHell do it.
In his final years, the writer of Amazing Grace, John Newton, suffered from dementia and lamented the loss of his memory. Yet he confided, I do remember two things: I am a great sinner, and Jesus is a great Savior. When it comes to faith, those are the only things anyone needs to know.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures. Newton
Gods grace accepted is Gods peace experienced.
The Christian life is one of struggle with sin and growth in holiness. On this side of heaven, we will not be totally freed from this struggle (James 3:2; 1 John 1:82:1). In todays text, the apostle Paul writes of the war between good and evil that wages within him. Elsewhere Paul explains, For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want (Gal. 5:17 niv). Yet we can take comfort in the fact that Jesus delivers us from this body of death (Rom. 7:24).

Today’s ODB brought back wonderful memories of singing with the Billy Graham Crusade in Boston 1982, with Cliff Barrows directing.

I actually found videos of that 1982 crusade on the Billy Graham website, and was able to watch them all over again! :-)
I tried to find myself in the choir, but there were no close-ups of the singers.
We only had one 3-hour rehearsal, and Cliff Barrows taught some important principles of singing that I teach my own students to this day!
Thousands of people came forward in those 7 days. Hard to believe it was 32 years ago!

Good Monday morning!
What a great experience...and memories...to have been a part of Rev Graham’s 1982 Crusade. And, how wonderful to watch the “replay” on youtube. 32 years....wouldn’t that reunion be amazing?
Have a great day, dear. Hope the thunderstorms are gone for the day. How is Lynn-dah, today?

I hope the Thunderstorms are over for now. I was treated to a beautiful rainbow this morning as I walked Lynn-Dah, and it looks like a “Go” for the parking lot repaving tomorrow. I have already moved my Harley to the courtyard between the buildings under my balcony (kind of like Romeo and Juliet! hahaha), and i will park my car elsewhere tonight so i won’t get towed in the morning. The Management office is aware of the Bike in the Courtyard and has given me approval to park it there for the duration of the project.
I am looking forward to the BIG “Reunion”! :-)
