Panacea For Pain And Problems!?!

... So Much Pain, Sorrow, And Suffering, And Yet There Is Only One Oft' Rejected Hope, Helper, Healer ... Savior! 

Why The Disconnect!?! 

He Is Gentle ... A Gentleman! He Knocks At The Door Of Our Hearts ... He'll Never Break In Because He's Waiting For An Invitation To Enter! 

He Speaks Kindly! He'll Never Override Your Decision To Ignore Him ... To Reject Him! 

He Extends An Invitation Exclusive To Each Person, Tailored To Each Life, Personal To Each Station In Life ... With No Condemnation! 

He Knows How We Are Made! Dare I Say, He Remembers That We Are Dust Because It Is He That Made Us And Not We Ourselves! 

Can You Imagine A Creator Asking His Creation If He Can Have A Heart To Heart Conversation With Us Because He Wants To Become A Personal Part Of Our Lives!?! 

Never Happen! 

You're Not Lying! 

Why Does He Do That When He Could Just Take Away The Breath Of Life That He Himself Gave Us!?! 

Oh, That's An Easy One To Answer! He Is God, He Is Love, He Is Truth, AND, Get This, He Loves Each One Of Us Personally, Intimately, Beyond Death! 

Masterson, You Had Me Until You Said "Beyond Death!" There Ain't Nothing Beyond Death! 

Digby, If You Had Attended Sabbath School Instead Of Going To Pitch Marbles, You Would Have Known That He Led Captivity Captive, As In He Conquered Death When He Died, And Rose From Death, And Rose Up To Heaven, And He Is All Now Interceding For Us Who Have Made Him Our Choice!

Masterson, You Really Believe All That Stuff That You Just Said!?! 

Digby, My Brother From Another Mother And Brother In The Lord, Without Fear Of Contradiction And With My Whole Heart, I Do! By His Grace, His Favor, He Gives Me Power, And I, Accepting That He Is Not A Man That He Should Lie, I Believed His Word, Accepted His Hand, His Love And Light, The Truth, To Walk In His Way That Leads To Life Everlasting! 

I Am Saved! I Am Blessed! I Am Being Sanctified Day By Day, And I Am Looking To That Great Day When He Shall Physically Come To Call His People Home To Himself, To Go To His Father's House Of Love And Peace, Glorified, Immortalized, Incorruptible! 

What A Day That Will Be! 

So, How Can I Get In On That Action!?! 

Digby, Call On The Name Of The Lord Jesus Christ, And You Shall Be Saved! 

I'm Telling You To Come Now, As You Are, But Be Prepared! 

Prepared For What!?! 

The Change! 

What Kind Of Change, Masterson!?! Talk Fast And Make My Day Beautiful Or Never Speak To Me Again! 

Jesus Says That He Stands At Your Door And Knocks, And If You Hear His Voice And Open Your Door, And Let Him In, He Will Come In And Sup With You, And You With Him! His Yoke Is Easy And His Burden Is Light! 

Being With Him, You Are Changed To His Likeness, And People Become Aware That You Have Been With Him! 

He Is Kind, Gentle, Loving, Giving, Caring, Helping, Inspiring Hope, And Promising An Expected End! 

He Does Not Promise A Cake-Walk, But He Assures A Hallelujah Ending ... Which Is The Beginning! 

Masterson!?! 

Yes, Digby!?! 

I Really Like, Even Love You, BUT I Realllly Want To Cuff You In The Top Of Your Head! 

Why All The Violence, Digby!?! Jesus Is Peace, Our Peace! 

Your Jesus Is Offering Me Bare Hard Work To Get A Sudden "Hallelujah Life" ...! 

... With Pleasures Forevermore AND His Peace Which Passes Human Understanding In The In-Between Time! 

You Gotta Love It! It Confuses That Satan When We Free-Will Choose To Accept Jesus' Offer! Maaaan, I Sing "Peace, Perfect Peace, In This Dark World Of Sin!" 

I Have Peace Within Because He Is Enough AND Sufficient! My Cup Of His Love Is Running Over! I Am Blessed! Can't You See Me Like King David Dancing For Joy!?! 

Okay, Call Him! 

Pray! 

I Said Call Him, Masterson! 

I Said Pray, Digby! 

Ohhhh, You Call Him By Praying! 

That's Right, Head Boy! 

Lord Jesus, Come Into My Heart Today, To Stay! For Long I Strayed, Please Don't Turn Me Away! The World Of Sin And Self Looked Pretty, But It Left Me Unclean! I Was Mean To Mam And Pappy, And I Said Bad Words To Bam And Happy! I Am Not Nice, And I Sure Don't Do Right! I Have Profaned Your Name, And Preferred Walking In The Darkness And Never The Light! Fix Me, Lord Jesus, For No One Else Can! Take Me As A Sheep Of Your Pasture And Lead Me To Your Promised Land! 

I'm Tired Of Sin And Suffering! I'm Tired Of Loss And Shame! I'm Tired Of Being Unclean! I Don't Want To Walk In Fallen Man's Acid Rain! Take Me Into Your Safe Fold! Lead Me Gently, Bless Me, Shape Me, Under Your Control! I Am Your Very Own! AMEN!!! 

Now Make Him Your Choice Every Day! Be Obedient And, With Patience, Endure All Things For Him! Do Right! Choose Life! Walk In The Light! When You Do Wrong, Repent! Trust Him, And Do Not Forget To Pray Always, And Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart! 

I Like That! 

Pass The Word Along: Share Your Faith! 

I Like That! 

And Sing! Sing Of Him! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: We Have No Help But HIM!!!

If You Have No Help But The Living God, Why Would You Treat Him Like Your Last Class "Friend" Called Convenience Good For The Assist At The Usual Place Known To All Living As The Tight Spot Between Pinch And Bind And In A Crunch!?! 

Since You Know Without A Doubt That He Has Never Failed You Not Even One Time, Because He Always Does What Is Best For You, Since He Is The Only Wise God And Can See Around The Bends In Your Life That Would Either Tie You Into Knots, Even A Gordian Knot, Or Break You Into Bits And Pieces Leaving You Dull In Mind And Sharp-Tongued With A Flaming Temper With No Self-Editing Feature, Why Would You Ignore His Kind Counsel And Guidance On His Pleasant Plans For Your Perfect Life In, For, And With Him!?! 

Brethren, Let Me Tell Us All Something Real Bright! 

The Always Available Goodie Train Called Daddy Lord Jesus Is Soon Going To Come To A Screeching Halt! 

Has He Been For You Conveniently Good For The Direly Needed "Solid" For A Bind, A Pinch, A Crunch, Or Is He, Has He, All Along Been Your Hope, Your Help, Your Hiding Place!?! 

Beloved, All Relationships, Just Like Motors, Must Be Lubricated! Rivers Dry Up Without In-Flows! Love Relationships Need Energy To Glow-Up! Friendships Dry Down And Out From A Lack Of Share! Relationships Fall Apart And Die Off Because Of "Give Me To Show Me That You Care!" 

This Is Not The Way That We Should Be Treating Our Maker, God, And Soon Returning King! 

We Serve The God Who First Loved Us And Shows Us Daily What He Has Done, Is Doing, And Will Do For Us! 

We Ought To Love Him For Love Alone! 

He Asks Us To Come To Him ... Voluntarily ... For Love ... To Enter His Forever Home! 

Dear Ones, Let's Not Be Bread And Fish Christians Wanting Only The Goodies But Not The Grind In The Dark Valleys Of Life, Expecting Him To Foot The Bills, Open The Doors, Lift The Weight, Carry The Water, Bake And Serve The Bread, Wash Our Feet And The Dishes, Carry The Conversation, Smooth The Rough Paths, Sail The Ship, Find The Port And Dock Alone, Pay The Fees, Ferry The Luggage, Find And Turn Down The Bed, Fluff The Pillow, And Always Ever Provide The Sweet! 

Ask Yourself The Boss Question: 

What's In This Boondoggle Of

"I Don't Want No Part Of This For Myself!"

That I Would Want For The Lord Jesus!?! 

If You Knew That Your Cherished Love Was Boldly, Brazenly, Publicly "Loving" You Like That, Would You Continue The Relationship ... Sooo Called!?! 

Brethren, I Am Seriously Looking At Myself! Shouldn't You!?! 

Our Lord Jesus Is Giving And Forgiving, Merciful And Gracious, And To His Living Word, Ever True! 

Let Us With Joyful Hearts, Praise The Lord Because We Truly Know That He Is Kind, And Then Bid Him With Broken And Contrite Hearts To Help Us Get Off The Path Of Sure Destruction And On To The Path Of His Perfection!

Please Let Us Reach For His Hand Of Help Which Brings Hope And Healing, And His Glorious Heaven Ever Near! 

Let's Ask Him For The Purge, The Clean Out, And The Renew! 

He, God, Is Waiting On You, And Me, Too! 

All Now, He Is Sprinkling Upon Us Unasked Blessings Numbered Not A Few! Please, I Beseech Us All, To Him Be True! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Building What!?!

I Didn't Believe You'd Do It, But You Really, Really, Did It! You've Built Yourself A Life Of Luxury On A Foundation Of Freedom To Choose With The Bricks Of Sin! 

And You've Got The Latest Windows Of Transgression! And I Can't Help But See That That Ornate Door You Purchased Is The Most Expensive One From Darke Lorde's Best-Selling Line! And That Roof Is Unmistakable For Being From His Gaudy Pride And Presumption Line! 

Now Tell Me, Uhgottit, What Could Possibly Go Wrong!?! 

Wrong, Schmong! This Is The Life For Me! 

Uhgottit, I Hope You Know That Sweet Life Don't-Can't Surely-Won't Last! 

Phliright, My Friend, This Life Doesn't Last So If Sweet Life Doesn't Last, It Ain't No Biggie! 

Wow, Uhgottit, Just Wow! Don't You Believe That There's A Judgment Coming ... And A Better Life!?! 

Look, Phliright, I Don't Have A Tomorrow Put Down! I Have A Today And A Now, Not A Someday Compliments Of A Judge! 

Man-Judges Are Corrupt, So Your Unseen Judge May Be, Could Be, Is Very Likely, Is Indeed Corrupt, Too! 

I Pity You, Uhgottit! Your Mum And Your Grand-'other Taught You The Way To Eternal Life Which Comes Through The Savior Who Is The Judge Of All Flesh, So Why Would You Choose Darke Lorde's Luscious Life Of Lawlessness As Your Hill To Die On!?! 

It's Simple, Phliright! It's Available, And It's Convenient, And I Like It! 

Ahhh, The ACL! You Do Know That In Full-Contact Sports That An Untreated Torn ACL Could End Your Days In The Game!?! 

Whatever! Live Fast, Play Hard, Take Your Lumps, Game Over: I'll Have Enjoyed The Ride While It Lasted So Who Cares!?! 

So Said The Man Who Watched The Death And Burial Of His Dreams While Singing "I Did It My Way!" While Crying And Asking "Why Me!?!" 

Phliright, You Tire Me! Please Go And Preach Your Bilge-Water To Someone Who Gives A ...!  

... Uh, Uh, Uhgottit! 

Okay, Someone Who Wants An Every Moment Of Life Traffic Director! 

Sounds Good To Me! 

Sounds Like Hell To Me, Phliright! That's Where You'll End Up If You Don't Get Rid Of This Glass House Abomination Resplendently Standing On Quick-Sand! 

Phliright, Please Make Your Presence Absent From My Domiciliary Edifice And Don't Ever Darken My Door Again! And If You See Me On The Street, Resist The Urge To Be A Samaritan! You Are Dead To Me! 

That's Alright, Uhgottit, But You Can't Stop Me From Praying For You! 

Don't Waste Your Time Praying For Me, Phliright! Pray For Yourself! 

I Will Use My Time Doing What The Lord Commands, Uhgottit! I Will Bombard Heaven For You Until The Lord Tells Me "Leave Uhgottit Alone With His Idols!" 

Suit Yourself! 

NARRATOR: 

Well, Brethren, Many People Prayed Unstintingly For Uhgottit! His Mum Passed On Pleading At The Throne Of Grace For Uhgottit To No Apparent Avail But There Was Good News For His Grand'other! 

One Day, Exactly Seven Years, Nine Months And Twenty-Six Days After Their Acrimonious Encounter, Phliright Was On High Street When He Heard A Familiar Voice Calling Him Bro. Phliright In An Unfamiliar Familiar Knowing Tone! 

And, Lo And Behold, There In The Flesh Was Uhgottit Looking ... Healthy, Humble And ... Held-Up! 

To Hear Phliright Tell It, Uhgottit Said He Had Real Fun Times Before He Went Through The Horn-Pipe Before A Miraculous Carve-Out Appeared And Ejected Him Just As He Was About To Make Hell-Self His Future House! 

He Said That He Had Been Tired Of The Life But Was Just Going Through The Motions Even As He Kept Hearing The Words: "Come Unto Me And Rest!" 

He Said That He Who Had Never Found A Feeling He Didn't Enjoy Suddenly Couldn't Shake The Feeling That He Was Between Times, Between Doors, At A Cross-Roads, At A Point Of No Return, And It Shook Him To His Core! 

He Remembered Phliright's Promise To Pray For Him No Matter What, And His Mum And His Grand'other Teaching Him The Good Way And Praying Over Him, And It Broke Him! 

He Remembered His Mum's Last Words To Him: "Uhgottit, My Favorite Only Child, You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got The Lord Jesus! Please Choose Jesus And Walk Right In The Light Of Life! Fun Fades But Jesus Lasts Forever! I'll See You In The Kingdom!" 

His Mum Plainly Told Him That She Would See Him In The Kingdom Without A Doubt! 

Uhgottit Said He Fought The Lord Like He Owed Him Money But The Lord Overcame Him And, In Humility, Accepting Truth, Glad For The Numerous Prayers For His Salvation Over The Years, He Surrendered To Our Savior With No Regrets! 

Is God Great!?! 

Yes, He Is! Hallelujah!!! 

Sin Didn't Win! Thank You, Jesus! 

Heaven's Gate Will Open And Uhgottit Will, By Right, Walk In! 

The Lord Be Ever Praised!!! 

AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I Know What I Want, No, Uh, Need!?!

 

I Know What I Want, But I Need What The Lord Jesus Has For Me! Which Desire Shall Win The Lord Already Knows, But I Need To Find Out And Designate It! Lord, Help!

Come On, Saira, You Know Right From Wrong, Truth From Error, Need From Want, AND, Most Importantly, You Well Know That Any Gift Given To You From Our Lord Jesus Is Best And Blessed, No Sorrow To Follow!

That Is True, Gabby, But I ...!

... Stop Right There, Saira! There Is No "But" When It Comes To Our Trusting The Lord For And In All That Concerns Us And Our Well-Being!

I Know, Gabby, But ...! 

... There You Go Again Butting! Are You A Goat Of The Hard-Head Persuasion!?!

No, Gabby, It Is Just That ...! 

... Father, Preserve Us! 

Saira, Pick One: Apple, Orange, Or Banana!

Do You Have Granny Smith, MacIntosh, Or Red Delicious Apples!?!

They Are MacIntosh Apples!

Are The Oranges Blood, Juice, Bitter, Or Navel!?!

Are You For Real!?!

Yes, I Am! I Have Standards, You Know!

Okay, They Are Navel Oranges! 

Are The Bananas Lady Finger, Apple Banana, Or Big Mike Bananas!?!

They Are Apple Bananas!

I Do Not Like Any Of Those Choices So I Can't Make A Decision! 

Lord, Save Us! 

Brethren, This ... This Is A Classic Example Which Demonstrates Why Most Of Us Will Never Get To Enter The Land Where We Won't Cast Shadows! 

Would You Like To Explain That Remark, Gabby!

Gladly, Saira! 

The Lord Jesus, Our Very Creator, The Life Giver, Offers And Makes Available, And Easily Accessible, Free-To-All Salvation, And Most Of Us, Like Our Saira, For Example, Instead Of Accepting The Gift Without Price Or Equal From The Only Wise God, Proceed To Have "Standards" And Offer The Lord Their "Specifications" While Failing Or Neglecting To Realize ...! 

... You Mean Pridefully Fronting With Nothing, Gabby!

I Was Trying To Be Delicate, Delia! 

Well, You Failed! 

Okay, Moving On Smartly! 

We Fall Short Of The Lord's Glory, Have Nothing To Offer To Save Ourselves, And, Yet, We Have Demands, Non-Negotiables, And Red Lines For The Lord ... He Who Gives The Breath Of Life! Would Somebody Make This Make Sense!?!

You're Asking For The Impossible, Gabby! 

Do You Have Anything To Say Besides "Sorry, Lord!" Saira!?! 

Hearing How You've  Laid It Out, Gabby, Makes Me Sound And Feel Like A Real Ingrate!

We All Need To Accept That Charge, Saira, Because That Is Exactly How We All Behave, Or Have Behaved, Before We Acknowledged Our Bankrupt Behavior And Confessed Our Sin With A Heartfelt Repentance To Our Father In The Name Of His Son, Our Savior, Jesus! Scripture Speaks Truly About Us!

How So, Sue!?!

It Asks, "What Can A Man Pay To Redeem His Soul!?!" 

You Know That It Takes A Truly Weighty Pair Of Brasses To Tell The Lord, The Judge Of All Flesh, The Creator, That His Gift Has Gaps, And That His Glory Ain't All That! 

Lord, Forgive Our Foolishness Even As You, In Mercy, Remember Our Frame!

 AMEN!!!

Whatever The Lord Has For Us Is Perfectly Perfect! 

That's Not True, Trent! 

What Do You Mean, Manny!?! 

Perfectly Perfect Suggests The Possibility That lt Could Have Been Perfectly Imperfect: Both Are Made-Man Constructs! 

Let Us Use The Lord's Words To Us About His Gifts For Us! Almighty God's Gifts To Us Are Good And ... Perfect ... No Qualification! 

Gabby!?! 

Yes, Saira!?! 

I Will Take An Apple, A Banana, And An Orange! 

Greedy, Much!?! 

The Lord Giveth Grandly And I Accepteth Gladly! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace, People! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Lord, Please Accept My Gift Of Me To You!

PRAYER:

Father,

We Are Instructed That If We Spent As Much Time

Giving Thanks To You As We Do Asking You For The Things

Which We Deem Necessary For Smooth Sailing In This Life

Things Would Go Better For Us! 

Lord, I Yield

And With A Humble Heart

Knowing How Spiritually Bankrupt I Am

I Give You Thanks And Joyful Praise

And A Glorious Hallelujah! 

Thank You For Your Sacrifice For Me That

Cost You Everything That You Possess

To Give Me Everything True That

I Could Ever Need In This Life For Abundant Living

And Then Life Everlasting! 

I Thought About Giving You A "Thank You!" Gift

But Then I Realized That Nothing Man-Made Would Suffice

And So I Have Decided To Give You Me

Flawed, Foolish, Needy!

My Heart, Lord, Is Spotted With Sin! 

My Eyes Are Cloudy With The Constant Look

At What Is Not Good! 

My Ears Are Constantly Itching And Often Blocked

From Tuning In To The Radio Station Of

The Adversary Of Souls!

My Tongue Utters Praise And Prayers To You

And Then Heaps Curses Upon My Fellow-Man!

My Thoughts Are Regularly Murky, And Often Even Dark

And Most Assuredly Contrary To The Covenant Of Peace That

I Desire To Have With You! 

My Hands, Lord, My Hands Are Those That Would Gladly, Even Gleefully

Work The Demise Of Those Who I Believe Have Offened Me

No Matter How Small

And My Feet, Lord, These Feet Have Not Always Been Shod To Deliver

The Gospel Of Truth, The Gospel Of Grace

But Have Been Quick To Run To Do Evil In Your Holy Sight! 

Father, In The Name Of My Jesus

Your Only Begotten Son

The Door Through Whom I May Enter Your Holy House 

... By Your Grace I Know That By My Faith Exercised

I Will Hold Fast Your Eternal Gift To Me And My Kind ... 

Have Mercy On Me And Accept Me, 

My Gift To You, Though Spotted, Torn, Tossed

Tested, Tried, Tormented, Thinking To Do Evil Continually

But Loving You With My Whole Heart

And Willing To Be Forgiven Of My Sins Which Are Many

And Cleansed From All Unrighteousness!

You Promised To Fix Me

And Fit Me To Enter The Gate

And Into The Glorious City By Right: 

Please Keep Your Promise

And

By Your Sweet Spirit Who Is Leading Me Into All Truth

Help Me To Keep My Promise To Be Counted

Amongst The Faithful, The True, The Overcomers! 

Of Myself, I Am Not Worthy To Come Into Your Presence

But You Told Me To Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace

To Obtain Mercy And Grace, Unmerited Favor

To Help Me In My Time Of Need! 

Lord, I Need To Give You Me

So Please Keep Your Promise And Honor Your Call-Out To Me

And Help Me To Deliver My Gift To You Though Poor It Is Indeed!

Please Accept It, Father

For My Jesus, Your Beloved

Spilt A Drop Of His Blood, Innocent Indeed, Upon It! 

I Love You: Please Help Me To Love You More!

I Need You: Please Help Me To Need You More!

I Thank You For The Blessings You Have

And Are, And Will Bestow Upon Me: 

Bless Me To Thank You More

And Praise You More

And Pray More

And Uplift You More

So That My Light Will Shine Brighter 

And My Salt Will Not Lose Its Savor, Its Taste, 

That Blesses Me As I Bless Others In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

Without The Master, My Savior, My Creator, My Redeemer

My Forever Friend Who Sticks Closer Than A Brother

My King To The End

And I Pray Never The Frowning Judge

I Give You My Free Will 

And, In The Faith Of Jesus Which Cannot Fail

Ask You To Mark And Make The Way That

You Will That I Should Walk!

Help Me To Moment By Moment Walk With And Talk To

And Lean On, And Trust And Obey The Master

And Cooperate With The Holy Spirit! 

Please Help Me To Allow Myself To Be Influenced By The Holy Angels 

Who Are My Guardians Excelling In Strength!

I Beseech You To Help Me Not To Look Back At Those Things

Those Possessions

Or Persons That For My Jesus I Have Walked Away From

For I Remember Lot's Wife!

I Love You: Let My Love To You Show As I Grow In Grace

On My Walk To Your Glory!

Please Help Me Not To Make A Shipwreck Of My Faith

For It Is In Jesus' Name That I Pray And Plead!

I Place My Trembling Hand In Your Hand That

Is My Rock In This Weary Land Called Life!

AMEN!!!

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The PEG!

 

Anybody Got A PEG!?! 

Gracy, What Can You Do With A Peg!?! 

Yes, Gracy, What Will You Do With A Single Peg!?! 

Mindy, Pandy, You Misunderstand!

I Am Not Asking About A Peg As In A Clothes Peg!

I Am Talking About The Capital PEG! 

Okaaay! 

So, Gracy Sweet Girl, What Exactly Is A Capital PEG!?! 

Glad You Asked, Jen-Jen! 

You Know When You Have "The Problem" 

And You Need Help Real Bad 

And You're At Your Wits' End 

And You Don't Know Whether You're Coming Or Going 

And You Can't Figure Out If You Should Stand Up Or Sit Down 

Like If Standing Isn't An Upper And Sitting Isn't A Downer!?! 

You Know, Right!?! 

Well, You've Been Praying But ...! 

... I Know That Feeling Very Well! 

Well, My Dear Ones, The Praying Is The Letter "P" 

But There Is No "E" and "G!" 

So, What's The "E" And "G!?!" 

Have You Ever Heard About That Lil' Thing That 

Everybody Needs To Succeed But Hates To Expend!?! 

Come On, Gracy! 

We All Know That One 

And I Had One Of Those Moments Today! 

I Had Laundry To Do, And I Was Hoping That It Would Do Itself 

Because "I Didn't Feel Like Expending The Effort!" 

People, We Have Got Ourselves A Strong "E!" 

Does Anybody Have Any Thoughts About What That 

Good Old "G" Could Be!?! 

Not A Clue! 

What About You, Mindy!?! 

Goose Eggs, Gracy! 

Here's A Free Clue: 

King James: Come Boldly! 

I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Jen-Jen! 

Come Boldly To The Throne Of Capital "G" For Grace! 

Very Good! 

So Our Capital PEG Starts Out With 

Our Faith First Calling Us To PRAY Without Ceasing 

While EXPENDING EFFORT To Do Those Things 

Which Almighty God Will Not Do For Us 

Because We Can Do Them For Ourselves

While Availing Ourselves Of The Invitation 

To Solicit The Throne Of Grace To Obtain Mercy 

AND GRACE To Help Us In Our Time Of Need! 

That Is Boss, Gracy! 

Can A Sister Borrow A PEG!?! 

That's A Hard "NO!" Mindy! 

Go Make Your Own! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Just Stop It!?!

...  So He Told Her That

Whenever He Lifted His Arm Over His Head

It Hurt Really Badly

And Asked Her What To Do About It! 

He Went On To Say That She Told Him: 

"Stop Lifting Your Arm Over Your Head!" 

He Was Not Amused 

And Now He Refuses To Speak To Her Ever Again! 

What Do You Think, Abutte!?! 

My Dear Defray, I Don't Think

I Know That That Is The Typical Response

We All Give To The Good Lord 

When He Tells Us To Stop Doing What We Are Doing

Because It Is Hurting Us Really Badly! 

Excuse My Please!?! 

I Didn't Stutter, Defray! 

The Lord Told Us Not To Sin! 

He Told Us The Penalty For Sin! 

He Told Us What Happens To Us When We Sin

And

He Gives Us Faith, Strength, Grace, Mercy 

And

Hope For Help And Healing! 

You Know What Our Problem Is!?!

We Want The Lord To Do Our Heavy Lifting For Us

While Forgetting That We Must Expend Effort

Before We Can Expect Divine Help! 

Hold Up, Abutte!

What Effort Could We Possibly Expend First

Before We Receive Heaven's Help!?! 

Defray, How Could You, A Committed Christian

Have The Unmitigated Gall To Ask Me Such A Question!?! 

I Have The Unmitigated Gall, Abutte

Because I Don't Understand What You Are Asking Me!

Have You Ever Heard About That Blessing Called

Pray Without Ceasing!?! 

Of Course!

Who Hasn't!?!

You Would Be Surprised!

You Have A Sin, You Want To Get Rid Of It

And You, In Your Own Strength

Do The Thing In The Belief That

If You Do The Sin Enough

You Will Make Yourself Sick Aka Sick Of It

And You Wouldn't Want To Do It Again! 

Bad, Bad, Bad Really Bad Idea!

So What Should I Do For Myself, Abutte!?!

Stop Doing It By Going To The Lord In Prayer

Believing That The Lord Will Help You

By Asking Him To Help You

And Pray And Resist The Devil

And Pray Some More

And Sing A Song Praising The Lord For Answered Prayer

And Resist And Pray And Praise

And

Don't Forget To Give Thanks For Your Victory

As If You Are Already Victorious!

You Make It Sound Sooo Easy, Abutte!

It Is Hard Because It Is That Easy, Defray!

But You Just Turned It Around!?! 

So!?!

Do You Gain Muscle By Picking Up A Sheet Of Paper!?!

Of Course Not!

You Need Something A Smidge Beyond No Effort Required!

Okay!

When You Are Doing Heavy Lifting In The Gym

Don't You Have A Spotter

And Are Advised

And Encouraged

To Wear A Back-Brace!?! 

Of Course!

Everybody Knows That! 

So, Please Tell Me, Defray

In The Name Of Him Who Is Holy, Just, True, And Wise

Why You Would Face Sin

Without Your Back-Brace Aka The Lord Jesus

And Your Spotter Aka The Holy Spirit

And Your Moment By Moment Vitamins

Faith And Prayer, And Praise

And

The Fortifying Bread That 

Is 

The Infallible, Immutable Word Of The Living God!?! 

I Can't Answer That 

Because

I've Never Heard It Explained Like This Before, Debutte!

So What Are You Going To Do From Here On Out!?!

1800-Call-God Aka Pray ... And Without Ceasing!?!

You've Got It! 

And ...!?! 

Take My Vitamins And Eat My Bread

And ... Let Jesus Closely Embrace Me

Holding Me Straight Protecting Me 

And

Cooperate With The Holy Spirit

Who Will Lead Me Into All Truth

Who Sees My Drift, My Growth

My Stagnation And My Slippage

And 

Will Call Me Back Into Alignment With The Lord Of Life

Who Is Love And Light! 

Nicely Done, Defray!

Let's Do Business Again!?!

For Sure! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Dear Lord, No Disrespect Intended ...!

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 

Have Mercy And, As You Promised, Remember Me! 

Lord, No Disrespect Intended 

But All I Can Offer You Today Is 

Thank You For My Life

Bless Yo

 For My Hope

Praise You For My Peace 

And Say I Love You

I Trust You

I Believe You

And Ask You To Help Me To Not Be An Ingrate

For All Your Blessings Showered Upon Me

The Majority Of Which I Will Never Know This Side Of Eternity! 

Lord, I Need To See You

Just As The Human Heart Longs To See

The Form Of Its Beloved

And To Feel Their Presence

To Hug Them Close

Hold Their Hand

Touch Their Face

And To Gently Rest The Beloved's Head Against Their Chest

And Hear Their Heart Beating

And Know That The Object Of Their Love Is Home

Is With Them

And They, Themselves, Feel At Home!

With You, Lord, I Long To See And Be With You

Who Loves Me Best

Who Has Never Failed Me

Or Done Anything To Hurt Or Harm Me!

I Long To Be With You

The One Who Has Raised And Is Raising Me Up

From The Morass That Is The Sin Life With Its Myriad Sorrows

And Elevating Me To The Perfection Of Sanctification!

I Desire To See You As You See Me

And To Know You As You Know Me

Face To Face

And In All Your Glory

And Thence To Touch The Thorn-Inflicted Scars

On Your Forehead

To Caress The Mark Of The Gash

From The Evilly Efficient Spear-Thrust

Compliments Of The Roman Soldier Just Doing His Job

To Hear The Heart Of Him Whose Love To And For Me 

Permitted Him To Defy Death And Rob It Of Its Trophy

Which Made It Possible For Me To Love Him

To Die In And For Him

And Live To Say To Death, Our Last Enemy

"Where Is Your Sting, Where Is Your Victory!?!"

And To Know That My Victory Is The Overcomers' Crown

And To Live, Love, And Be With You

For The Ceaseless Ages Of Eternity:

Lord, Hold Me Fast!

I Long To Kiss Your Feet With Thanksgiving

And To Lay Your Nail-Scared Hands Against My Face

And Kiss Each Palm!

What A Wonderful Day It Will Be!

Lord, I Didn't Feel That I Had It In Me To Pray Today

But In Talking With You And Cooperating With Your Sweet Spirit

I Realize That I Have Poured Out My Heart:

It Feels ... It Is ... Liberating!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering My Prayer Of Faith!

I Love You With My Whole Heart!

I Will Speak With You Again A Little Later!

Be Pleased With Me!

Have Another Beautiful Day Blessing The Brethren

With Your Gift Of A Portion Of Your Faith And Unfailing Favor!

AMEN!!!

Brethren,

Let Us Please Seek To Remember That 

Prayer Is The Strength Of The Soul: 

Commune With The Lord Today ... Right Now! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Do You Know The Distance Between Heaven And Hell!?!

Psalm 4:1 KJV

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Do You Know The Distance Between Heaven And Hell!?! 

Come On, Saury! 

No Created Being Can Know That Figure! 

Are You A Committed To Christ Christian, Baulher!?! 

Of Course, I Am! 

Well, I Am, Too, And I Can Definitively Tell You 

Without Fear Of Contradiction 

What is The Distance Between Heaven And Hell! 

Cheupse! 

You Always Coming With Some Nonsense To Fret People Spirit! 

I Am Serious, Celeyse! 

Oh, Really!?! 

How Could You, A Dust Bunny, Pardon My Harsh Language 

Know Something That Is Not Written Down In The Bible

And Thus Not Available For Our Education!?! 

Well, Sweet Girl, That Shows Your Lack

Your Saaad Lack, Of Bible Knowledge! 

Them's Fighting Words So You'd Better Take That Back! 

I Will Not Because I Am Right 

And You, Poor Dear, Are Wrong! 

Okay, Then, Know-It-All! 

Prove That You Are Right! 

With Pleasure! 

Philippians 4:6 ... Pray Without Ceasing! 

If, Let's Say, You Found Yourself Heading Toward Hell 

And You Don't Want To Go There

What Would You Do!?! 

That's Easy! 

I Would Be Praying And Pleading With Almighty God 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 

To Help Me To Not Go There! 

Celeyse, Did I Hear You Correctly When You Said

And I Quote: "I Would Be Praying ... !?!" 

Well, Yes, You Did, Saury! 

So What!?! 

You Still Don't Get It, Do You!?! 

Get What!?! 

What Am I Supposed To Get!?! 

Celeyse, Celeyse, Celeyse ... Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! 

The Distance Between Heaven And Hell ...! 

... I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Baulher! 

It's A Prayer! It's A Prayer!?! 

But, But, How!?! 

Celeyse, My Dear, Prayer Will Keep You Out Of Hell 

And Lack Of Prayer Will Keep You Out Of Heaven

Therefore, The Distance Between Heaven And Hell Is A Prayer! 

I Just Don't Know How He Does It! 

First He Frets My Spirit 

And Then Turns Around And Blesses My Soul! 

I Wish That I Could Hate Him But ...! 

... Yeah, I Know, But We All Love Him At The Same Time! 

Uh Huh! 

He Did It Again! 

Yup! 

Lesson Learned! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: One Thing I Ask, Lord!

1 John 5:14 KJV

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

PRAYER:

Dear Father, 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, I Ask A Boon! Please Help Me In All Things To Make You My Default Position! Help Me To Ever Seek And Hold You In My Heart As My Back-To-Base, Ignoring The Taunts Of Those Who Call Me And My Brethren "Christians!" As A Pejorative, An Insult! You've Told Us That The Day Will Come When We, Your People, Will Be Without Earthly Support And I Beseech You To Keep Your Promise, Not That You Need To Be Asked Since You Are The Promise-Keeping God, But Because I Need To Touch Your Hand, Your Heart, By My Word Of Faith In You And Your Almighty Power! Lord, We Need You, I Need You, And I Am Not Ashamed To Say It Or For Others To Know It! Father, Others Have Stood Up And Have Counted Themselves Resolute, Committed, Faithful To False Gods Which Neither See, Hear, Speak, Walk, Hold, Help, Or Heal And So, Today, Right Now, As In The Wedding Ceremony, In The Covenant Vows Before The Company Of Witnesses, I Pledge You My Troth And With Your Assistance, I Choose To Keep Myself Unto You Alone, Without Reservation While This Life Shall Last By Your Holy Spirit, The Comforter Of Us All, Who Leads Us Into All Truth! Father, I Have No Other God Save You, The True And Living God! I Have No Help But You, My Refuge And My Strength! I Have No Home Save Yours, Beulah Land, The Beautiful City, The Home Of The Faithful, Where Peace Dwells! I Am So Glad That My Lord Jesus Loves Me And I Am Glad That He Called Me From The Darkness Of Death Through Sin And Into His Marvelous Light Where Life Everlasting Is The Home Of The Soul! Lord, Lift Me Up! Help Me To Be Like Jeremiah To Say That Your Call, Your Will For My Life, Is Like A Fire Shut Up In My Bones! Be It The Altar Of Sacrifice Or Drawing The Plow To Break Up The Fallow Ground By Telling The Good News To Those For Whom The Lord Christ Died, Help Me To Serve Faithfully And With Patient Endurance No Matter The Cost! Help Me To Live My Life Uttering The Call And Basking In The Lover Of My Soul With The Immortal Words "Jesus Saves!" Please Grant Me My Request For I Ask It In My Gift Of A Portion Of Jesus Christ's Faith Which Cannot Fail! I Love You With My Whole Heart And, With Thankfulness And Gratitude, I Bless Your Holy Name For All Your Blessings On Me And The Brethren, And All Who Shall Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of Christ's Free To All Salvation! AMEN!!!
