Jack and Trisha were driving to the hospital late one night for the birth of their second child when the unexpected happened. Trisha began to deliver the baby! Jack called 911 and Cherie White, an emergency dispatcher, was able to talk Jack through the delivery. But the baby wouldn’t breathe. So Cherie then instructed Jack how to give emergency breathing, which he had to do for 6 anxious minutes. Finally the newborn took a breath and cried. When asked later how they all got through the ordeal and remained calm, Cherie responded, “I’m glad God works midnights!”
I love to hear media reports in which God gets the glory He deserves for something good that has happened. In the Bible reading for today, it’s obvious that God should get the credit for parting the Red Sea to help His people escape from Pharaoh, even though Moses was the one who raised his rod (Ex. 14:26-27). All the Israelites and Moses gathered together and sang the Lord’s praises: “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” (15:11).
When something good happens, the Lord deserves the credit, for He is the source of all that is good. Give Him the glory. Aren’t you glad He works midnights?
Good evening! :-)
Good Lord's Day and Shavua Tov to you!
I’m beginnning to feel old.
My younger brother called to wih me happy birthday Saturday and said Well .. when are you going to sign up for Soc Sec?

I saw a Copperman along the approach to St. Peter’s Basilica last summer. He was dressed as a cowboy, and pointing two pistols at an imaginary bad guy. Copper from head to toe, hat, clothes, skin, guns, boots. Completely motionless.
A beautiful lady does a similar act all in white in a white chair not far away at Piazza Navona. She makes a lot of tips from tourists who like to have their picture taken with her. I watched her remove her makeup one night as she was about to leave, what a stunning beauty she was.
The oddest of all is the fellow who does the Statue of Liberty at the South end of the piazza, robe, torch, crown, and silver makeup.
God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.
Thanks, unique.
"But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you." -from THE BIBLE: Luke 24:29-36
A Blessed and peaceful Lords Day to my Canteen family, and to our Troops!
With love from the frozen tundra.
