Connecting Centuries

It’s Tuesday evening here in LA (Lower Alabama) and I think I have little to say — I just wanted to put something on the page so you would perhaps gain a smile and know that you are in my thoughts and yes my prayers. 
I am grateful for each of you.
My Daily Prayer Journal has you listed as The White Stone Blog Readers. 

I list you that way because, well, because I don’t know all your names or even the States and Countries in which you live. 
Even so, I think of you and remember you before The LORD. 

I read Acts 24 today. 
Paul.
What an amazing brother in Christ we have. I don’t expect to live on the same street as he in the Father’s Eternal City but surely at some time in Eternity we will run into each other and I can thank him for his faithfulness and his love for JESUS and for penning the many letters I so enjoy in this 21st Century. 

Yes, my friends, this life we have in JESUS is just this real — When JESUS conquered sin, hell, death, and the grave — He connected His people, even 1st Century brothers, and sisters with 21st Century brothers and sisters.  That great CONNECTION is coming to fruition. Yes, a face-to-face gathering that will never end. 

So tell me — isn’t that something to look forward to?
I think so.

I am urging you to hear this message. 
Notice, please, the silence as you watch this video – and learn the meaning of the silence. 

I am convinced, that FEW people KNOW THIS JESUS.

If you are not one of the few, I am urging you to pray, to beg, to be introduced to THE JESUS.

Broken Record

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I am here. 

Here again to encourage you, to ask you to please READ Scripture daily. 
To read not just a verse or two out of context but instead to read at least a chapter a day. Please. 
I mean pick a book of the Bible – a book of your choosing- perhaps not Revelation if you are not well acquainted with Scripture. 
Any one of the Gospels perhaps and daily read a chapter. Daily ask Father GOD to reveal what He has said and what He is saying to you. 

As the days we are living grow darker and sin increases and love grows colder (Matthew 24:12), Scripture is our lifeline.
Scripture will encourage us, enlighten, strengthen, embolden, and preserve us — pray to love the Word as your bread because if you are a child of GOD, it is your bread!
It is your food to nurture and sustain you.
Let us dare not ignore the Holy Scriptures that are able to deliver us! 

 

Tomatoes

Popping in just for a Saturday early evening hello.

We have internet again!!

Counting things out before the time.
I do that sometimes — do you?

We were weeks late setting out some tomato seedlings. So late that I planted one with no hope that it would survive. 
Poor thing it was genuinely pitiful looking — bent over, yellowed leaves. Like I said it was pitiful! But, I planted it anyway. 

Today.
Today it’s taller, green, standing, reaching for the sun and deepening its roots for nourishment. 

Perhaps you are smiling by now — I am. 

When we are bent over, tired, zapped — you know what I mean, don’t you?
The Son and the Water of His Word will surely perk us up — more than perk us up.

We will thrive and produce fruit! 

I better go stir the sloppy joes –  my Boys are hungry. 
Okay. So it’s not the healthiest meal but it is homemade and I used pasture-raised beef. :)

Rejoice and enjoy the rest of your weekend my friends.
