3-2-2017 Arizona Trip

Taking extra time to travel this trip and not getting in in hurry. I have only passed a hand full of others, driving below the posted speed limit ( don't get nervous seeing a patrol car) and seeing things I have never seen before is fun. We did not get on the road until 10:30. I spent too much time talking to another preacher from Corsicana Texas that was headed to Phoenix as well. Made it to Lordsberg  NM. and got set up in the dark. Nancy is working on her quilt and I am watching my DVD's from last Christmas. The news is just the same old political garbage.

Speaking of garbage: I want to send out a word of appreciation to all the workers that pick up the garbage and keep our world clean. They work hard in all sorts of weather and are faceless servants of us all. They make America a great place to live too.

Father-hood

The last three days have been filled with family. A wedding on Saturday, a baby dedication on Sunday and my baby girl's birthday party on Labor day. Someone said to me, "these are all your fault" as we were leaving the restaurant. I am proud to be the Father, grandfather and great grandfather to my children. This started me to thinking of all the children in this world that are without a father, children whose fathers were killed in battle, children that lost their father to terrorism, divorce or even worse those that were never introduced to their father at all. I would not want to face life without my father. I wish more people would accept my father into their lives.

9-8-2015         Luke 11:11-13

S.       11 if a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?  Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

O.      Examples of asking and what to expect.

A.      I am invited to ask God for my needs……so I will ask!

     P.       Father; I am asking for more of you in my life, more of your love, more of your Grace and                more of your Spirit. Amen.
