Living Deceptively
You have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 3:15
The year 2007 was labeled the Year of Living Deceptively for South Korea, because of the countrys numerous scandals involving fake academics and corrupt politicians. A survey of 340 professors selected the Chinese phrase ja-gi-gi-in (deceiving yourself and others) to sum up the year.
It should not surprise us to hear of deception like that. The apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:13, Evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. To deceive is to make others believe falsehood as truth and accept wrong as right.
Our defense against deception is to know Gods Word, for all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (v.16). Correction is to set right what is wrong, and instruction is to make known what is right. Gods Word not only makes us aware of wrongs, it also prompts and teaches us to do what is right.
Is your New Years resolution to walk rightly before God and others and to be thoroughly equipped for every good work? (v.17). Then read and apply Gods Word, asking the Lord to make you a person of integrity
When reading Gods Word, take special care
To find the rich treasures hidden there;
Give thought to each truth, each precept hear,
Then practice it well with godly fear. Anon.

Thank you Meg, for the Orchid:
In the marsh pink orchid’s faces
With their coy and dainty graces,
Lure us to their hiding places—
Laugh, O murmuring Spring!
- Sarah Foster Davis, Summer Song
I just found out that there are over 25,000 accepted species of orchids in this beautiful world of ours!

I wish we had Sleep Festival more often. Seems like it and chocolate anything are my favorite holidays. :) Yes, it is unfortunate we can't enjoy both at the same time but if anyone saw the outcome no one would believe it's chocolate and we'd never live it down.
Note to self: must invent chocolate spray scent.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!
Amazing Grace
by John Newton
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. . Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, . And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! . Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. . The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures. . Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. . The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, Who called me here below, Will be forever mine. . When weve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, Weve no less days to sing Gods praise Than when wed first begun.

A morning comes in softest step, silent sweet and true
and I wake to see the Lord’s Day under cerulean blue.
The wind sings of Him this day if you listen well
and each truth is there for you to see and tell.

It is now snowing great big, soft flakes, up here on the high dessert. It won’t last, but it sure is pretty! My grass is stil green, the petunias are still blooming, and hummingbirds are still feeding at their feeder. I’m longing for just a teenie bit of winter; then I’ll be ready to welcome spring!
