You Watch The Moon

You speak of moonlight, while I sweat,
Your evening hasn’t got here yet.
The moon you see, will shine for me,
As I lie down with memory,

My worries, and the day’s heartaches,
And all the pain from my mistakes.
I gather calmness from the dusk,
And breathe the scents of evening’s musk,

The twilight brings the evening’s calm,
And confidence from your song’s balm.
For you have seen this day and night,
And found it not a source for fright.

You faced the challenge, and in time,
Incorporated it in rhyme.
You walked with Day and held it’s hand,
While you stood strong in a foreign land.

The heart of evil that will try,
To harm us must first face your eye,
And you will cause its force to wither,
Before it dares to journey hither.

We thank you then for standing there,
While we sleep soundly without care.
Your loved ones and a grateful nation,
Protected from War’s desolation,

A world away, but held so close,
Each of us missing what we love most.
Take heart that as you watch the moon,
Your task will end, you’ll come home soon.

Currently in post flood cleanup.
No real damage at my position.
This may change after the next wave of rain from Thursday through to Saturday.

What lies behind you and

What lies before you are

Small matters compared to

What lies within you.





A slice of life and Vitamin C:
nutritious wherever you lie.

The Wisdom In God's Word

Read:
Proverbs 8:12-21

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? . . . Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world. -1 Corinthians 1:20

Bible In One Year: 2 Samuel 1-4

We treasure Scripture. It's God's inspired Word, and it teaches us the way to abundant life in this world and eternal life in the world to come. Indeed, it is the source of a wisdom that goes beyond that of the wisest philosophers (1 Corinthians 1:20). But this fact is rarely acknowledged in our culture.

So I was glad to read an article by The New York Times columnist David Brooks extolling biblical wisdom. He praised Martin Luther King Jr. for insight into human nature derived from Scripture. He felt that King "had a more accurate view of political realities than his more secular liberal allies because he could draw on biblical wisdom about human nature. Religion didn't just make civil rights leaders stronger-it made them smarter." And Brooks said further: "Biblical wisdom is deeper and more accurate than the wisdom offered by the secular social sciences."

Are we drawing on that source of wisdom in our own lives? We need Scripture's wisdom to deal with our personal problems and political issues. If we study and obey the Bible, we will be able to humbly testify with the psalmist, "I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation" (Psalm 119:99). -Vernon Grounds

The Bible is God's Word to us,
Still fresh through all the ages;
And if we read it we will find
God's wisdom on its pages. -Sper

One truth from the Bible is worth more than all the wisdom of man.
