When I was just a child, a new follower, I would read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and then start over again. This would take over a year and as I read I slowly grew up both in body and spirit. One thing I kept wondering at was all the times Israel was saved and then, over time, slowly reverted back to the ways that got them in trouble. The thing we don’t factor in is that reading in a matter of minutes you can span decades if not centuries which ignores the way humans, historically speaking, forget their past. When we do not teach our children in the way they should go, one day, they, who do not know, are in charge. meemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104303592278897991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044571629293488418.post-84060053339296725132020-11-20T11:35:33.867-05:002020-11-20T11:35:33.867-05:00Woke up this morning with this thought that I feel...Woke up this morning with this thought that I feel is in harmony with your comment. If the revivals of the past actually worked - and took root in the hearts of people - we would not be where we are today.

The original poem that this was based upon is entitled “A Visit from St. Nicholas” and was authored by Clement Clarke Moore.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044571629293488418.post-49517384241085044992020-11-03T16:19:23.633-05:002020-11-03T16:19:23.633-05:00Love to all the family.Love to all the family.Rhody Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183540172908600382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044571629293488418.post-59813751469592357892020-11-03T15:34:05.234-05:002020-11-03T15:34:05.234-05:00We are going to gather this evening to celebrate (...We are going to gather this evening to celebrate (Rachel's youngest) Judd's 13 year birthday, trying to pretend the world is not falling apart.

Today I am reading " My Utmost for His Highest" that you gave me 24 years ago. Its giving me some measure of comfort & I thank you for that. Thinking of all of you...
