Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you have a good day? A little dirt? Good company? BBQ?
Today was Mom time and the computer. And I had to hang a bird bell and put up a new suet thingy.

Courageous And Consistent
July 28, 2014
Read: Acts 28:11-16,30-31
While reading the obituary of Eugene Patterson, Pulitzer Prize-winning editor of the Atlanta Constitution from 1960 to 1968, I was struck by two things. First, for many years Patterson was a fearless voice for civil rights during a time when many opposed racial equality. In addition, he wrote a column every day for 8 years. Thats 2,922 newspaper columns! Day after day, year after year. Courage and consistency were key factors in the impact of his life.
We see those same qualities in the apostle Paul. Acts 1328 records his bravery in one harrowing situation after another. After being shipwrecked on his way to stand trial before Caesar, he landed south of Rome, where many brothers in Christ came to meet him (Acts 28:11-15). When Paul saw them, Luke wrote, he thanked God and took courage (v.15). During the next 2 years as a prisoner, Paul was allowed to live in his own rented house where he received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence (vv.30-31).
Every follower of Jesus can be a consistent giver and receiver of courage. The Lord can use us today to encourage and strengthen each other.
O keep up your courage, each day to the end;
Go forth in the strength of the Lord;
Trust wholly in Jesus, thy Savior and Friend,
And feed on His own blessed Word. Miles
When people share their fears with you, share your courage with them.
Todays passage chronicles one of Pauls journeys and how he and his companions were received and shown hospitality. It is easy to forget that this was not a luxury cruise with an exotic island destination. During this trip, Paul was a prisoner and he and his companions (soldiers included) were met by and stayed with Christian believers. It is possible that Paul was allowed to live in his own rented home under house arrest and share the gospel (vv.30-31) because the soldiers were impressed by the hospitality that had been shown to them.

Good Evening, Kathy!
*HUGS*
A good day, thanks! I went down into the basement and did some major cleanup and reorganizing. Then out into the Back Garden to string up the Tomatoes.
All that pretty well sapped my strength - had enough left to broil a pair of Pacific Salmon - an excellent repast!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
