Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...was it a cold ride today? Blue enjoying these last fun times before winter?

[left that other site]

Today was rainy and windy...tomorrow is supposed to be WORSE. Ugh.

neither Blue Nor penny are amused.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...we had some sun mid-day.

Is your area staying dry so farmers can harvest? I know you must be suffering with all the flying stuff in the air.

60+ ducks this morning. And some old ones demanding attention...lots of quaking until someone comes out. It’s dark! With all the leaves off the trees I can look for a hawk and/or owl. Thank goodness I got duck food on Saturday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...still fall?

We still have a couple patches of snow left, but temps are back up into the 40s.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Rainy and windy...I would not be amused either. Does Penny have a rain coat?

[lightman]

Fall came late “thanks” one of the warmest Octobers on record. There haven’t even been half a dozen nights with lows in the 40’s.

The understory spice bushes kept green leaves a week to 10 days longer than normal.

Tonight we’re getting some much needed rain 3/4 inch so far, nice and gentle.

Set Apart

Read: Romans 1:1–6

Paul was . . . set apart for the gospel of God. Romans 1:1

The three-wheeled taxis of Sri Lanka, known as “tuk tuks,” are a convenient and delightful mode of transport for many. Lorraine, a resident of the capital of Colombo, also realized that they’re a mission field. Hopping onto a tuk tuk one day, she found the friendly driver more than happy to engage in conversation about religion. The next time, she told herself, she would talk to the driver about the good news.

The book of Romans starts with Paul declaring himself as “set apart for the gospel of God” (Romans 1:1). The Greek word for “gospel” is evangelion, which means “good news.” Paul was essentially saying that his main purpose was to tell God’s good news.

What is this good news? Romans 1:3 says that the gospel of God is “regarding his Son.” The good news is Jesus! It’s God who wants to tell the world that Jesus came to save us from sin and death, and He’s chosen us to be His mode of communication. What a humbling fact!

Sharing the good news is a privilege all believers in Jesus have been given. We’ve “received grace” to call others to this faith (vv. 5–6). God has set us apart to carry the exciting news of the gospel to those around us, whether on tuk tuks or wherever we are. May we, like Lorraine, look for opportunities in our daily life to tell others the good news that is Jesus. — Asiri Fernando ( ゲスト寄稿者 )

What barriers do you experience in sharing your faith? What talents or interests can you use to present the good news?

Jesus, thank You for making me Your mouthpiece for Your good news. May Your Spirit give me the courage and love to share about You today. 

Bible in a year: Jeremiah 9–11; 1 Timothy 6

3rd!!

Howdy, Kathy.

Your skies looked similar to ours .... some clouds, some sun. We don’t have bare trees and snow on our mountains like y’all do though. Our trees are finally starting to turn now.

We had a splash of rain this morning when a cold front came through. Dry tomorrow but will have rain Wed. through Fri., at least. It won’t be the best week for harvesting what’s left.

The duck numbers are growing, aren’t they? Better stock up on duck food! LOL At least it’ll be harder for the hawks and owls to pull off sneak attacks on them now that your trees are bare.

[radu]

Thanks!
Twice in less than a week. The stars must be aligned well. LOL
