Hi Suzi! I used to live in a town where the sign that one had been inducted into the local garden club was waking up to a yard full of.....plastic pink flamingos.

When we lived in Memphis we lived in one of those subdivisions where the Association ruled. If you wanted to paint your house, put up a fence, screen in a porch,etc. you had to apply to the committee for their approval. This also extended to yard ornaments. There were some rebels among us who put plastic pink flamingos peeking out from behind bushes! Another really bold rebel painted his house flamingo pink. He got authorization from the committee to paint it thinking he meant a subdued shade. I hated the color but it was so funny!

How Long?

It took years before she finally said yes. A Welshman had fallen in love with one of his neighbors and wanted to marry her. But they had quarreled, and she refused to forgive. Shy and reluctant to face the offended woman, the persistent suitor slipped a love letter under her door every week.

At last, after 42 years, he summoned up courage, knocked on her door, and asked her to become his wife. To his delight, she consented. So they were married at the age of 74!

God is also a persistent lover. Century after century He sent prophets, seeking the stubborn people of Israel. Then God sent His Son. In Luke 19, we read that Jesus looked out over the city of Jerusalem and wept because of their hardness of heart (vv.41-44).

Yet Jesus persisted in His loving pursuit. He opened the way for reconciliation by His redeeming sacrifice at Calvary. Today He is still asking sinners to come to Him, personally accept Him as Savior, and enjoy close fellowship with Him (Matthew 11:28).

If you have come to Him, rejoice that you are His. If you have not, however, you must realize that time may run out. Don't remain forever alienated from the Lover of your soul. Trust Him today. —Vernon Grounds

Why trade the hope of heaven's light
For things that please the prince of night?
Eternal glories wait for all
Who turn and trust God's loving call. —Branon

Then God sent His Son. In Luke 19, we read that Jesus looked out over the city of Jerusalem and wept because of their hardness of heart (vv.41-44).

I am certain He weeps frequently when looking out over the state of our world today. The best thing we can do is to keep President Bush, a Christian and righteous man, in office to try to steer our country back on the right path towards redemption.

The devil is working hard to prevent this, but we must squash his efforts with prayer.

Good morning...it's gloomly looking and cool here in Memphis.

Coffee's on

[The Mayor]

Amen to that !

I hate to say it but we must face the truth.
Politics this year has come down to a battle between Good and Evil.

It's kinda scarry but in Matthew 24 Jesus tells us,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Matthew 24

It's so hard for some people to see that, but it's the truth. I have some folks look at me cross-eyed when I mutter about us being in the end times. Are we that blind that we can't see the signs? Yeesh.
