Maybe I'm the one that's confused. I've got a devotional on the shelf with a clipping from the bullitin marking my place. The old bullitin had some stuff on Ruth I wanted to save. I'll go get the 'bookmark' and be right back.

Okie, dokie...

I was just in the family room watching Dr.D.James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Presbyterian, PCA in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

He wears robes....my pastor doesn't....it's optional....some do, some don't.

There are 'highchurch' Presbyterian and non highchurch....

..the dressing may be different, but the Word stays the same....

..We are 5 point Calvinists, and honor the Westminster Confession.

We believe in the inerrant Word of God and if you want to know more about my church....

..just Google ....Presbyterian Church, PCA and read all about it.

Yeah, I'm still confused, but I keep an open mind.

The Sons of Martha

Rudyard Kipling

1907

The sons of Mary seldom bother, for they have inherited
that good part;
But the Sons of Martha favour their Mother of the
careful soul and the troubled heart.
And because she lost her temper once, and because she
was rude to the Lord her Guest,
Her Sons must wait upon Mary's Sons, world without
end, reprieve, or rest.
It is their care in all the ages to take the buffet and
cushion the shock.
It is their care that the gear engages; it is their care that
the switches lock.
It is their care that the wheels run truly; it is their care to embark and entrain,
Tally, transport, and deliver duly the Sons of Mary by land and main...

snip

And the Sons of Mary smile and are blessed - they
know the Angels are on their side.
They know in them is the Grace confessed, and for
them are the Mercies multiplied.
They sit at the Feet - they hear the Word - they see
how truly the Promise runs.
They have cast their burden upon the Lord, and - the
Lord He lays it on Martha's Sons!

I just love Kipling.
