Barclay says that Rusty's strange behavior reminds him of some self-proclaimed experts on the Bible. They expend enormous energy and countless hours trying to interpret obscure passages, but all their effort does nothing to edify themselves or others. Through the years I have received long letters from people like that. Some show me how to know exactly who the Antichrist will be. Others claim to have found the key to certain Bible mysteries by studying the meaning of names in the lists of genealogies. Apparently there were some teachers in Ephesus who were trying to impress the believers by weaving myths and fables into their interpretation of the Bible. But what they taught did nothing to promote godliness. It was therefore as pointless as Rusty's stone removal project. Paul said to Timothy, "Exercise yourself toward godliness." That's the most important goal to keep in view as we study the Bible. Herb Vander Lugt
To read and mark Thy holy Word, Its truths with meekness to receive, And by its holy precepts live. Boddome Don't study the Bible to be able to quote it; study it to obey it.

Hi Mayor and all. Have a great Military Monday.
Good Military Monday, Mayor, and all the Finest.
A very special "good morning!" to you, LUV W. Give your David a big 'hello' and 'well done!' from all us Finest folk.
We've heard from son Daniel. He's doing great and says that his unit's morale is high.
Mayor and Billie ..... thank you for bringing us another Military Monday.
Today is a busy day in and around Fresno.
The ""You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" Caravan will be stopping in Fresno tonight. We are trying to get the word out in hopes of drawing a large crowd of Troop Supporters.
After the media event in Fresno, several of us will join the caravan for about 20 miles to a rest stop where Fresno Freepers will furnish snacks and drinks.
Tell everyone you know about the Rally in Crawford on the 27th.
