Good evening, Kathy! Good evening, all!

Spent a good part of the day moving snow from where it doesn't get sun to places where it might get some sun.

Good evening, Dubya...((HUGS))...thanks for the prayer for our military men and women. They are so in need of our constant prayers.

Ignoring Grace
January 31, 2011

In the hectic downtown of one of Asia’s great cities, I marveled at the busy sidewalks filled with people. There seemed to be no room to move in the crush of humanity, yet it also seemed that everyone was moving at top speed.

My attention was drawn to the soft, almost mournful sound of a single trumpeter playing “Amazing Grace.” The crowds appeared oblivious to both the musician and the music. Still, he played—sending a musical message of the love of God out to whoever knew the song and would think about the words as he played.

I thought of this experience as a parable. The music seemed to be an invitation to the masses to follow Christ. As with the gospel message, some believe in God’s amazing grace and choose the narrow way. Others ignore His grace, which is the broad way that leads to everlasting destruction. Jesus said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matt. 7:13-14).

Jesus died so that “whoever calls” on His name (Rom. 10:13) can find forgiveness in His grace.

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. —Newton

Christ believed is salvation received.

Read: Matthew 7:13-23

Narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. —Matthew 7:14

Bible in a year:
Exodus 25-26; Matthew 20:17-34

Ruh-roh! Hate to hear that. That ant farm gets stirred up too easily by bad news!

Good evening, Dave. Lt Col Zeamer was an interesting guy and an interesting history.

Hope you’ve had a good weekend.

REALLY cold temps they are prediciting for mid-week?

I have family traveling down her from ohio this week so, I wish the nasty ice would go away and give them nice traveling, but yes, I look forward to the cooler temps.

I hate hot and humid.

Don’t blame you for hating humid....it’s wearing!

Cool that you will have visitors. I hope the weather is warm
for at least part of their visit. I KNOW they are tired of
cold weather, being from Ohio! Are you taking some vacation?

Well, you’re probably gone now...and it’s time for me to say
g’night, too. Have a good week!
