When I was there in Fairbanks for three full summers in the 60's, I don't think we had more than a dozen 80 degree days, unlike your saying on one trip there it was so hot the asphalt was melting!
Coming from Florida, I LONGED for a day when I could wear shorts; and in winter actually thought everything would be all right if it would get UP TO ZERO!! - LOL!
Trust me on this one.
We visited for over 20 minutes.
Anything to get her mind on something different.
LOL! In 1968, I had three kids and was on my own in Juneau, AK. (In those days, it was fun to be in Juneau. I don't know about now...I left in 1970.) So that means that SpookBrat could fit right into the middle of my family. I'd probably never have known the difference, just put a big juicy worm in her mouth every time she opened it! LOLOL!
One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. But, the change in her was evident.
As time went on she became a faithful member of the church and eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children. It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. This is when the problems began. You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.
The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting. As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand. The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past and as she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak as he could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was this:
"My fiancée’s past is not what is on trial here. What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?"
The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters. Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely. If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble. What, then, can wash away my sins?... Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!!
