HAPPY SABBATH + THE FEARSOME FOURSOME: Visiting The Land Of Regret!







In The Land Of Regret 
Is
The Fearsome Foursome 
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda, And Did Not! 

Their Music Is Piteous To Hear
And 
All Are Moved 
Who To Their Dread Performances Lend An Ear! 

Beloved, 

All Who Are In The Land Of Regret Are There 
Because Of 
Decisions That They Could Have Made
Would Have Made
Should Have Made
And 
Did Not Make! 

Visitors To Regret Regularly Make Pilgrimage 
To Ma Barker's Pity Party 
To Be Not So Gently Reminded That 
Hindsight Aka Look-Back 
Is 
Always 20/20! 

They Learn That Ungodly Fear 
Is 
The Costly Non-Refundable Ticket 
To The Experience Of A Lifetime 
In The Land Of Regret! 

Every Unnerved Visitor Says 
"If Only!" 
When They Suddenly Come Upon The Handiwork Of 
The Undertaker No Do-Over 
And 
His Helpers Come-Again And No-Body 
Who Lay Out Unfulfilled Dreams
Dashed Hopes
Broken Promises
And 
Missed Opportunities 
For Decidedly Uncomfortable But Necessary 
Private Viewing! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Encouraged! 

The Prayer Of Faith Calls Dr. Jesus, The Great Physician 
Who, By His Sweet Holy Spirit Who Comforts
Corrects, And Leads Into All Truth
Will Lead You Back To The Land Of Hope, Help, And Healing 
Where, With Cooperative Obedience, Love, And Endurance
You Will Reach Living Way 
And 
By The Desire Of Your Heart For Christ
You Board The One-Way, Only Train 
To Surpassing Glory! 

Please Follow The Good Shepherd's Leading 
And 
Be Safe Knowing That His Guards Are Holy Angels 
Excelling In Strength! 

Please Choose To Learn From Your Experience: 
Give Your Burden Of Regret To The Master Aka The Savior 
Who Will Turn It Into A Stepping Stone For Your Feet! 

Prayerfully Keep Faith First! 

Peace!

The Valley Of Decision!







At The Border Between Decision And Death
I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 
We Will Reach Out To Jesus Christ 
And 
Choose Life! 

A No-Decision Is A Decision
And 
A Not-Now Decision Decides That 
We Will Not With Our Dear Savior
Eternally Abide! 

Wait And See 
Is 
As Good As Continue And Do ... Wrong ... 
While Forgetting That 
Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Either Me Or You! 

We Must Live With Awareness 
Consciously Doing What Is Right
Never Engaging Auto-Pilot To Walk Wild 
On The Dark Side! 

Beloved, 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation
Not For A Family
A Group
Or A Church
But 
For Each One Of Us Individually: 
Let Truth, Righteousness, And Faith Be Your Perch! 

Please Let No One Detain You To Indulge In A Lil' Fun 
Because 
The Very One Who Encourages You In Wrong-Doing 
Is 
A Payee Of 
Satan's Do-You Ruin-A-Friend And Another Fund! 

Think For Yourself! 
Walk Alone If You Must! 
Jesus Christ Bore The Cross Of Shame 
All Of Our Sin To Atone ... To Pay For ... Alone! 

We Have One Shot At Jesus Christ's Glory! 
There Is No Do-Over Of Life! 
In The Valley Of Decision, Dear One, 
Please Choose Christ's Eternal Life! 

Don't Look Back At What Was! 
Look Up To What Shall Be 
And 
Think Of The Welcome Home Table 
Where Christ, Himself, Shall Serve You And Me! 

Think About Our Eternal Home! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Tasty Pasties Don't Fill The Soul!






In The Day Of Each Man's Decision
He Will Either Say:

Come And Hear
For I
In Holy Fear
Will Declare
What God Has Done For My Soul!

OR

In The Arrogance Of His Heart
In The Attitude Of The Discontent Of His Ungrateful Soul
In Wilful Defiance Of The Holy God
He Will Boldly Ask:

What God?
What Has "God" Ever Done For Me?!

In That Day
He Will Have Seen
His Soul's Savior's Eternally Marred Hands
First
Beckoning Him By Mercy
Extending Grace
BUT  ...
In The Day Of Vengeance
He Will See Them
Finally
Executing Justice
AND
Denying Mercy!

The Open Eye
Has Opportunity
To Behold The Love Of God!
BUT
The Closed Heart
Embraces Opportunity
To Take Part
In The Feast Of The Fraud!

Look To The Lord Christ
Who Made Us All!
Listen To The Holy Spirit
Who Comforts And Teaches
When We Follow The Lord!
Look To The Father
Who For Eternal Love
Gave His Son To Save Us All
AND
Decide
Oh, Educated Consumer
If Almighty God Shall Have
Control Of Your Bouncy Ball
For Once 
AND
For All!


Tasty Pasties
Fill The Body But Not The Soul!
The Bread Of Heaven
Fills The Soul
AND
Makes Heaven The Longing Soul's Sole Goal!
Think Wisely
Of The Sacrifice
That Permits Us To Make Prayers 
And Petitions Bold
AND
With A Death Grip
Grab Hold 
Of The Holy Hand
Of The Savior And Redeemer Of Your Soul!

God Is Not A Man
So He Cannot Be Mocked!
He Is The Holy God Of Heaven
AND
Jesus Christ The Righteous 
Is The Shepherd Of The Flock
So ...
Put Down The Phone To Satan
AND
Put His Number On Block
AND
In The Name Of Jesus
Let Your Heart To God's Heart 
Be Permanently Locked!

Faith Is Not Fleeting
When Daily
We Are With God Meeting!
Read Your King James Every Day
AND
Lift Your Heart To God
AND
Sincerely
Fervently Pray!

Talk Some
BUT 
Listen A Lot, Too
For Almighty God Has Much To Us To Say
AND
Remember 
That "No!"  Is Also An Answer
Even If
It Is Not What We Desire To Hear!

Trust The Lord!
Follow The Good Shepherd!
Walk As One To Heaven Wise
AND
Firmly Dismiss
With An: "It Is Written ... !" 
All 
That Satan Will Against You
Devise!



The God Of Heaven

Does Not Sleep

So His Eyes Are Ever On

His Blessed

And

Greatly Beloved Sheep!

Be A Lamb!
Be A Sheep!
But Whatever You Do
Be Never A Ram Called Goat
For God Is The Leader
And Goats Don't Follow
For They Love To Pull Rope!
