KEEPING THE FAITH

The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stung with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart. Remember, the next time your little hut is burning to the ground ... it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

Just when you think you can't take anymore ... the Lord steps in. (I'm sure everyone has their own personal testimony.)

May God bless you and keep you.

Hi, radu.

I’m really tired after driving nearly 8 hours today to go to the funeral of a Cobra pilot who served in Viet Nam. it was a hard day and I’ll probably cut out soon. But just saw your post and thought I’d say howdy before doing a couple more songs and bugging out.

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Long day for y’all and not for the best of reasons. So sorry for the loss of your friend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours. Have a great Sunday.

It is blowing like crazy here and the temp is 42...my driveway looks like a skating rink.

[Kathy in Alaska]

It’s 10:30pm and up to 42 at my house, with big wind gusts. I keep chasing the sounds of things falling.

If it rained, as predicted, I never heard it, but the ice on my driveway looks horrid.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, HiTech, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

You are very cold and we are very warm. My driveway is ice, and I have to get gas tomorrow. I HATE this weather!!

The mud is now ice.

I do not have 4 wheel drive but I do have 2nd gear.

We shall see. We shall see.

And my routes. This is just for Frontier. Add in all those other lines and you can see what has to be put up with.

"TAKE UP THY CROSS
AND FOLLOW ME"



"I Vow To Thee My Country"
Choir Of King's College, Cambridge

"I VOW TO THEE, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace."

Amazing Grace
(Click)
By John Newton

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.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!
