VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Open Our Eyes, Lord!

 






The Lord Jesus Christ Is Trying To Help Us 
To Abundantly Live In Him Now
And 
Then Eternally With Him! 

We Must Choose To Cooperate With Him 
Through The Holy Spirit 
Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Brethren, 

All That He Is Asking Of Us 
Is 
That We Accept The Draught From Heaven's Bottle Of 
Easily Digestible Loving Kindness, Blessing, And Grace! 

Truth Being Always Told
We Are Choosing, Instead, To Self-Cure
Self-Comfort And Self-Control 
By Ill-Advisedly Imbibing From The Rancid Cask Of 
Do-Me Willful Human Blindness 
Which Carries No Spiritual Nourishment 
But 
Is Filled To Overflowing With The Empty Calories Of Lawlessness ... Of Sin
Which Makes Us Fat And Easy To Overcome 
By Our Adversary, The Devil, Satan The Damned! 

Beloved, 

There Will Be No Fools
Aka No One Who Says That There Is No God
In The Lord's Living Kingdom Of Light! 

Since We Actively Say To All That We Believe That 
The Lord Can Do A Great Thing For Us Here And Now
Should We Not, Here And Now, Show Our Faith And Trust 
By Willingly Doing What The Lord Is Asking Us To Do 
To Truly Help Ourselves!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The One-Mile Walk To Surpassing Glory 
Starts With Our First Step Toward Jesus Christ, Our Only Savior! 

Salvation Is Free 
But
All Potential Recipients 
Must Willingly Accept The Package 
And
Eagerly Open It 
And
Wisely Use The Gift: 
This Is Self-Service Only! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Please Remember 
And
Never Forget That Man-Wrought Salvation 
Is 
The Devil's Only Delight 
Because 
It Leads To Man's Sure Damnation! 

Please Let Jesus Christ Aka The Great Physician
The Prince Of Peace
Fix And Heal You By His Saving Grace! 

Pray Fervently ... And Touch Your King 
Who Was Touched To Save You! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Be Angry ... And Sin Not!











Imagine What Uncontrolled Anger Can Do! 

In A New Pregnancy
It Can Cause Spontaneous Expulsion Of The Fetus! 

The Anger Caused By Strife-Makers 
Can Cause The Offended Party To Strike A Blow That 
Can Maim Or Kill Another! 

The Anger That Wafts Off Those Who Would Make Men Slaves 
- To Their Various Lusts - 
When Their Plans Are Thwarted 
Can Lead To Murder! 

The Anger Of Those Who Would Force Others 
To Think, Believe
And 
Act As Their "Betters" Have Commanded 
Is 
Demonic In Its Rancor, Rage, And Range! 

Beloved, 

The Bible Tells Us To Be Angry ... And Sin Not 
Because 
We Can Get Angry ... And Sin 
Which Opens Us Up To All Kinds Of Problems 
Which We Would Do Well To Avoid! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Call King Saul A Fool 
Because 
He Somehow Believed He Could Control The Hand Of God! 

King Saul Wanted To Kill 
The Ordained, Appointed, And Anointed Future King, David
And 
When He Could Not
He Killed Eighty-Five Of The Eighty-Six Priests Of God At Nob! 

King Saul Added Sin Upon Sin 
By Hob-Nobbing With The Witch At Endor 
And 
At The End Of His Time On Earth
He Committed Self-Murder Aka Suicide! 

Let Us Be Wise To Recognize That
As Christians Committed To The Cause Of Christ
We Should Let The Lord Fight Our Battles 
Instead Of Going Into Murderous Rages! 

We Should Be Angry Enough To Not Indulge In Wrong-Doing 
And 
Should Instead Get Angry And Rage Against Sin And Sinning! 

Don't Be Hasty To Get Angry! 

Self-Control Is A Fruit Of The Holy Spirit: 
Exercise It 
Or 
Ask The Lord For His Indwelling Spirit 
To Help You To Walk Rightly, Wisely, In The Light Of Life! 

Peace!

GUARD YOUR HEART: Demons Inhabit People And Animals!




There's A Reason That We Are Told To Guard Our Hearts 
And 
Choose To Do Right 
To Prevent Sin From Knocking At Our Door 
And 
Taking Up Head-Of-Household Residence ... No Invitation Extended! 

There's A Reason That Self-Control 
Is
One Of The Fruits Of The Holy Spirit! 

There's A Reason 
Why Lucifer Was Permanently Cast Out Of Heaven: 
The Great Physician-Offered 
And 
Proud-Patient-Refused Necessary Surgery 
For A Soul-Destroying Heart Condition! 

Beloved, 

Lucifer's Refusal To Yield 
And 
Let The Great Physician Fix His Heart 
Led To War In Heaven 
Which Caused Lucifer To Lose His Once-Good Name 
Which Caused A Required Name Change To Satan 
Nka Adversary Of Souls
Accuser Of The Brethren
Piercing Serpent
Roaring Lion
Dragon
Beelzebub - Lord Of Dung
And 
A Permanent Change Of Address 
Plus 
Condemnation And Damnation 
With A Certainty Of Destruction 
Aka Eternal Separation From Eternal Light 
And 
Everlasting Life! 

Dear Ones, 

Man-Made Means Cannot Fix A Spiritual Problem 
And 
It Is With Reason That We Are Told That 
Pride Goes Before The Fall! 

We Are Spiritually And Physically Nearing Home 
And 
Demonic Warfare Is Waging
And 
Will Be Waged In The Open Just As It Was 
When Our Lord Jesus Came To Seek And Save The Lost! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Take Heed To The Gospel Of Grace 
If You Desire To Live In The Kingdom Of Glory! 

Demons Inhabit People And Animals
And 
Oppress The People Of God 
And
Are Very Likely Operating Near You! 

Satan Appears As An Angel Of Light: 
His Heart Ain't Right With God! 
Do The Math! 

Lean On, Love, Jesus: 
Pray: 
Obey! 

May The Lord Of Life Grant You His Peace!

Do Not Act Impulsively!








How Often Have We Heard Someone Say: 
"I Lost My Head!" 
After Acting Presumptuously 
And
In Haste!?! 

Oh, How Satan ... The Bounty-Hunter 
Loves To Hear Those Words Uttered 
In The Leisurely Activity Called Sorrowful Repentance! 
 
Beloved, 

A Scornful Dog Eats Dirty Pudding 
And 
The Impulsive, Hasty To Be Angry Person 
Gets To Slowly, Sorrowfully, Eat 
The Usually Unpalatable Patty Of 
Remorse And Regret 
If 
They Are Wise Unto The Saving Of Their Own Soul! 

We Are Imbued By Our Maker-Savior With 
The Ability To Think Clearly 
And 
Reason Wisely! 

Unfortunately, Many Of Us Choose To Act Irrationally
Impulsively ... Foolishly
Giving In To Sinful-Self While Forgetting That 
All Acts Have Outcomes
Many Of Which Are Unintended
Most Of Which Can Never Be Corrected! 

Please Don't Put Your Brain In Park 
While Your Mouth, Hands, And Feet Are In Motion! 

Let Us Remember What We Were Taught In Primary School 
When Learning To Cross The Street: 

Look Right! 
Look Left! 
And 
Look Right Again
And
Then Cross 
If
The Way Is Clear! 

Weigh The Pros! 
Weigh The Con

And

Remember That Impulsiveness 
Never Lays Out The Warm, Comfortable
Pretty Bed Of Peace And Quiet! 

Think Twice ... Even Thrice
Before You Act, Act Up, Or Act Out! 

Please Practice Self-Control: 
It Is One Of The Choice Fruits Of The Holy Spirit! 

Peace!

TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS: SIN ... self ... SALVATION







If Your Heart 
Is 
Running On The Fuel Self-Willed
Please Rest Assured That 
You Have Already Surrendered Your Self-Control 
To That Fallen Angel, Lucifer Nka Satan
Who Built His Condemned And Damned Kingdom 
On Self-Righteousness! 

If All The Lights In The Room 
Are Spot-Lights Focused On You 
And
All The Words Spoken Are High-Notes For You 
And 
No Notes For The Surrounding Few
You May Want To Take A Good Look 
In The Only Disclosing Mirror Around 
Aka The Good Book Of Almighty God's Wisdom 
Where Saving Truth 
Is 
Readily Available To Be Found! 

Beloved, 

Be Careful When Your Actions 
Are Niceties And Goodies For You Alone 
And
What's Left Are Groans And Nasties 
For Everybody Else! 

Be Warned ...

Satan Built What Cannot Stand 
By "Destroying" What Cannot Fall 
And
By Way Of Necessary Warning
We Would All Do Well To Wisely Remember That 
Heel-Biters Get Crushed Heads! 

The Dead Can't Kill The Living 
And
The Living Can't Raise The Dead 
So Let's Draw Near To The Savior
- The Only One Who Is The Lord Of Life -
To Fix Us So That By Becoming Righteous As He Is
- By Faith -
We May Inherit His Eternal Life! 

Homework ...

Jesus Christ Saves Sinners From Sin! 
Self Is A Willing Sinner! 
Sin Cannot Cure Itself!
Do The Math: It's Easy! 

Peace!

Get Rid Of Satan's Secret Sauce!

 





Babylon
Is
Synonymous
With
Sin
False Worship
And
Confusion!


Achan Wouldn't Take "Don't!" For The Warning! 

Beloved, 

No Matter Who We Say That We Are
No Matter How Much Money And Influence We Have
No Matter What We Believe That We Are Entitled To
We Cannot Have Anything And Everything That 
We Desire From Whomsoever 
And 
Wheresoever We Desire It 
When We Desire It! 
This Is Called Life 101: 
Get Accustomed To It! 

Wisely Choose To Pass This Necessary Life 101 Class 
And 
Make Life Easy For Yourself 
And 
For Everyone Else Who Has Already Grown Up!

The Lord, In His All-Knowing Mercy
Says "No! And "Don't!" 
To Our Selfish Desires And Requests 
And
Uses Them As Warnings 
Because 
He Knows That 
If We're Left To Our Own Destructive Tendencies
We Would Destroy Ourselves 
And 
Many Others ... As Did Achan! 

When Our Creator, Savior, And Redeemer Speaks 
And
We, Self-Deceived, Deliberately And Dynamically Disobey
Guaranteed Consequences We Will Not Like Will Follow! 

Precious Gifts From God ...

All Proper Parents Teach Our Children That 
That "I Deserve It!" Ugly Attitude Ain't Going To Fly 
And
Help Them To Understand That 
"No!" And "Don't!" Mean Exactly That! 

This Unacceptable Behavior In Children 
Is 
Seriously Despised In Adults 
Who Should Possess Wisdom, Understanding 
And
Self-Control! 

Please Consider The End Of Cain, Achan
Prophet Balaam
King Saul
Prince Adonijah And His Brother Prince Absalom
And 
Step Away From Satan's Secret Sauce Called Self! 

"Noah" To Sin Built The Ark Of Safety: 
Get Aboard 
And 
Live! 

Obey The Lord 
And 
Prosper! 

Peace!

Don't Be Covetous!
Reject
Babylon's Goodly Garments!

Self-Utilized Backbone Required!




The Newest Growing Trend In Popular Culture 
Is 
To Place The Onus, The Duty, Upon Others 
To Be Your Personal Backbone 
To Stop You 
From Giving In To The Unbridled Lusts Of Your Flesh 
By Depriving Others Of Their Own Rights Of 
Self-Determination! 

Beloved, 

Being Temperate Aka Having Personal Self-Control
Knowing When Enough Is Sufficient 
And
Accepting "Thus Saith The Lord!" 
All Make For The Perfect Deterrent 
No Matter What "Difficulty" We May Face! 

Think About It ...

 Sin Abounds! 
The Moral Law 
And 
The Health Laws Are Available 
And 
We Are Encouraged To Make Good Use Of Them!
 
The Lord Jesus Could Have Removed Sin 
And
Temptation From Our Presence: He Didn't! 

Jesus Christ ... The Righteous Judge ... Simply Says

 
Exercise My Gift To You Of Daily Faith 
And
Use My Commandments For You 
As Your Sure Hedge Of Protection 
And
You Won't Choose To Sin! 

See! 
Self-Utilized Backbone Is Required! 


To Willfully Commit Sin Is Not An Accident!
Living By Sinning Is A Personal Choice!

**--**--**--**--**

Being Tempted Is Not A Sin!
Yielding To Temptation Is Sin!

Life Is Amazing! 
Self-Deception Is Mind-Boggling! 
Refusing To Take Responsibility 
For Your Own Self-Willed Actions 
Is 
The Mark Of A Lazy Mind In A Self-Absorbed Person! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

You Alone 
Stand Alone 
Before Christ Alone 
To Answer For Your Own Life 
In The One Judgment! 

One Life To Live Is Your Lot: 
Deal With It! 

Use Your Gift-From-God Tools!


Find Your Peace In The Lord!

What Kind Of Fruit Are You Serving!?!







Character Flaws ... Found In Every Last One Of Us
Must Be Overcome 
If We Will Enter The Heavenly Paradise Of Peace! 

Nobody Likes A Vengeful, Spiteful
Dishonest, Insincere, Entitled
Proud
And 
Uncontrollable Person! 
Sin 
Is 
Surely Knocking At That Heart's Door!

Our Flaws Aka Faults 
Are Undesirable Traits Of Character 
Which Must Be Gotten Rid Of 
And 
If We Don't We Will Be No More Than 
Nice And Nifty Bouncy Balls 
For Satan The Damned To Use, Abuse, Discard 
And 
Destroy! 

Our Cultivated Character 
Determines
Our Final Destination! 


Beloved, 

Please Be Aware That 
We Are To Confess Our Sins To Almighty God 
And 
Our Flaws To Each Other 
And 
Not The Other Way Around! 
Do Not Be Deceived!

Think Carefully 
About What Your Flaws Have Already Cost You 
And 
How Feeding Your Known Flaws 
Has Encouraged You To Commit Known Sin! 

The God Of Grace ... Known Holy
Loves Us Enough 
To Have Given Us Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 
To Counteract Our Flaws 
And 
It Is In Our Best Interests 
To Change Our Present Direction 
And Allow
Love, Joy, Peace
Gentleness, Goodness, Meekness
Patience, Faithfulness
And 
Self-Control 
To Have Their Wonderful Way In Our Lives 
So That We Do Not Lose The Gifted Home On High 
Which We Cannot Ever Buy! 

Getting Rid Of Habits That Cannot Profit 
Does Not Cost Us Anything Save Time 
Which Is Also A Gift From God!
 
Be Wise ...

Work Out 
Your Own Soul's Already Purchased-For-You Salvation
With Fear And Trembling!

GETTING HOME TO HEAVEN: Attitude Adjustment Requirements

The Road To Spiritual Success Understanding Faith. - ppt download



No Matter How You Swing The Cat
No Matter How You Tear The Page
No Matter How You Pack The Lunch
No Matter How You Get Bent Outta Shape
The Fact Remains That A Christian Without Patience 
And 
Self-Control 
- Both Heavenly Virtues -
Is 
A Perfect Target For 
And
Nimble Instrument Of Satan 
To Be Used, Abused 
And
Then Discarded 
When Satan's Designs Are Accomplished! 

Brethren,

We Need To Understand And Accept That
Such A Person Will Never See Jesus Christ In Peace
And 
Will Never Enter The Gates Of Heaven
Because 
They ... Being Self-Deceived
Have Chosen To Reject Christ's Counsel 
Which Says That 
"There Is No Law Against A Meek And Gentle Spirit!
Blessed Are The Peacemakers!
Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!
God Is Our Refuge And Strength!
And 
Thy Word Is A Lamp Unto Our Feet And A Light Unto  Our Path!"

Don't Let Your Emotions
Jerk You Around 
Like You're On A Bungee Cord!

Beloved, 

We Are Counselled To Guard Our Hearts!
When We Ingest Ungodly Things
The Detritus Inevitably Comes Out 
And 
Often At The Worst Possible Times 
Showing To All Observers That 
Our Christian Attitude And Personality Are Missing Christ! 

Garbage In ... Garbage Out:
What You Eat ... You Excrete!

Let's Be Really Wise ...

We've All Heard Of
And 
We All Know About Christ!
Amen For That!
However, Dear Ones
It's Time To Intimately Know Him Personally 
So That When He Comes
We Shall Be Found To Be Like Him 
In Character Aka Attitude And Actions! 

Travelling To Heaven 
Is 
Not An Easy Road 
So Let's Class Up Our Ideas, Ideals
Attitudes And Actions 
And
Willingly Choose To Be ... To Behave
Like Our Dear Jesus! 
Peace Be Upon You!

A Self-Made Christian
- Just Like A Man-Made God -
Is A Total Joke!
Have Faith In The Almighty God!
Follow Your Creator:
Follow The Lord Christ!

SELF CONTROL: The Muscle Tussle!

Self Control
Is A Road
A Vehicle On A Road
A Seat In A Vehicle On A Road!

Self Control
In A Man
Is A Steering Wheel
In The Hand Of The Man
In A Vehicle
On The Road Called Life!

Self-Deceit
Sin
AND
Disaster
Are Deep Ruts In The Road Of Life
When Man
- Any Human -
Has No Self Control!

This Man's Vehicle Is Vanity
Intemperance ... His Wheels
AND
His Fuel Is Dirt Cheap
Because
He Buys It 
At Mobile Gas Station I-Feels!

Who  ...  But A Fool
Drives A Vehicle With No Engine
Or Sits In A Vehicle
That Has No Seat Cushion
AND
Whose Brake Line Has No Fluid
AND
Of Direction Has ... No Notion?!

Who ... But A Fool
Will Deign To Have A Feast
In A Speeding Vehicle
Possessing Neither Wind Shields
No Doors?!

Can You Drive A Vehicle
That Has No Spark Plug?!

Who ... But A Fool
Blindfolded
Inebriated
AND
Going The Wrong Way
Gets On The Expressway Of Life
Racing A Vehicle With A Broken Axle?!

Let's Get Real ...

The Man
The Woman
The Child
Without Self Control
Is A Weapon Of Mass Destruction
Stuck
In Self Destruct Mode
Wise
In Its Own Eyes
Confident
In Its Own Prowess
Sure
That Its Cause Is Just
Ignorant
That It Is Being Purposefully Driven
By Lust Of Its Own Eye
AND
Lust In Its Own Flesh
For That That Is
The Pride Of Its Own Life!

Let This Be Made Known ...

Self Control
Is As A Coal
From The Altar
In The Temple Of The Living God
Retrieved By The Good-Influence Angel
AND
Carried With Tongs
AND
Placed With Due Care
On The Tongue Of The Blessed
The Sanctified One!

Self Control
IS
The Gift Of God!

Self Control Is The Great Reminder!

DO NOT ACT LIKE:

KING SAUL
  
  • Grieving Away The Holy Spirit
GENERAL MOSES
  • Striking The Rock At The Waters Of Strife
NADAB And ABIHU
  • Placing Strange Fire On The Holy Altar Of Almighty God
ACHAN
  • Stealing The Dedicated Things
KING DAVID
  • Fornicating With Bathsheba
  • Murdering Uriah

KING SOLOMON
  • With 700 Wives And 300 Concubines Out Of Known Idolatry
JUDAS ISCARIOT 
  • Betraying His Master, Jesus Christ


WARNING:

When You Do Not Control ... Self
Self ... Controls You
And
In The Darkened Eyes Of Satan
THAT
Makes You
- Against Jesus Christ AND To Him -
The Perfectly Useful Usable Disposable Tool!


Exercise Your Self ... Control!
Through The Holy Spirit
Get For It Muscles
Because
If The Known Wicked Spirit
Controls Your Self For You
Against Sin
You Will Lose The For-The-Victory Tussle!

Real Greatness!

Dad?! 

Yes, Son?! 

Can You Tell Me What Is 
The True Measure Of Real Greatness?

Interesting Phrasing ... Why Do You Ask?!

I Am Asking ...
Dad, I Am Asking You, Well, Because
The Guys Keep Talking About
All The Athletes
Sportsmen
Entertainers And Actors
And Money As Oh, So, Great
But ...
Something Is Nagging At The Edge
Of My Consciousness!

It's As If There Is Something Really Important 
That I Need To Understand
So As Not To Accept What's On The Street As Fact!

Okay. Sit Down With Me
And We Shall Seek To Get You Your Answer!

First Things First!

Father In Heaven, 
We Come As Children
Willing To Learn
And Seeking Your Guidance!
Please Guide Into Your Truth
In Jesus' Name. 
AMEN.


Son,
It Is Written That
By Wisdom
You Build Your House
By Understanding It Is Established ...

... And By Knowledge
Its Chambers Are Filled
With Pleasant And Precious Riches!

All Right! We're On The Same Page!
Now Tell Me What You Understand
To Be The Visible Character Of Many Of Those
Lauded In The Public Domain As Great?!

Dad, I Can Count 
- Without Even Thinking -
The Many So-Called Greats
Who Lack True Character!

Many Of Them Are Drug Abusers
Womanizers
Indulge In Abominable Lifestyles
Lack Self-Control
Rabble-Rousers, And More
And I Don't Understand 
Why They're Called Great! 
Several Of The Old Greats
- Still Considered Great -
 Even Committed Suicide
And Many Of The Young Crop
Are Following In Their Footsteps! 
What's So Great About That?!

Son, Do You Remember The Story Of Samson
The Judge In Israel
At The Time Of The Philistine Dominion!

Of Course! 
He Was The Strongest Man Who Ever Lived! 
He Was The Greatest!

And ... He Was The Weakest!

How Can You Say That?! 
He Tore A Lion In Half ... With His Bare Hands
Killed 1,000 Men With The Jawbone Of An Ass
Lifted The City Gates Off Its Hinges ...
He Was Truly, Truly, Fantastic!

He Was Fantastically Foolish
He Had No Self Control
He Lived By His Emotions
AND
Of Him His Libido Had Control!

He Who Is Mastered By Earthly  Desire
Is Weak!
True Strength Comes From The Emotions
You Control
Not The Emotions That Control You
Using Up Your Life Force
With Vanity And Things That Do Not Elevate You!

Yes, Sir.

Let's Reason This Out Together ...

Samson Was A Nazarite From Birth
He Was Dedicated To God
He Was To Avoid Wine And Alcohol
He Should Not Have Been Fraternizing With The Idolatrous Philistine Women
He Should Not Have Married One!
He Should Not Have Been Involved With Delilah, A Known Prostitute!

Yeah, Especially One Whose Name Means Consumer!

No, Son.
He Should Not Have Allowed Himself
To Participate In The Charms Of Any Prostitute - He Was Set Apart
AND
Designated As Holy Unto God!

Samson Utterly Betrayed His God
By Foolishly Betraying His Secret
For A Tawdry Exploration
AND
He Put Himself Outside The Ark Of Safety
The Hedge Of Protection
AND
For His Weakness
His Willfulness
His Malicious Disobedience
He Caused The Spirit Of The Living God
To Finally Depart From Him!

I Guess He Was Not So Great After All!

Samson Would Have Been Truly Great
IF
He Had Been Faithful
AND IF
He'd Had Self-Control
AND
Firmness Of Resolve
AND
Practiced Self-Denial
Not Giving In To The Lust Of His Eyes
The Lust Of His Flesh
AND
The Pride Of Life
Trusting In His Long Hair And His Muscles
Neither Of Which Gave Him
One Single Iota Of Power!

His Power Came From His Fidelity
His Devotion
To His Living And Holy God!

Neither Fame
Nor Fortune
Nor Associations
Make One Great!
They Can, However
Make One Notorious
Careless
Indifferent
Unfaithful
Faithless
Wicked
Wasteful
AND
Turn One Into A Wastrel!

Son, Satan Uses
Our Cherished Character Defects
AND
Flaws
To Undermine
AND
Ultimately
Destroy Us!

I Guess Buying Into Your Own Press
Is Not A Good Idea!

It Isn't!

Hmm ...
So, Dad
Would You Say That
Faithfulness
Self ... Control
Obedience To God
Self ... Denial
Integrity
AND
Firm Resolve
Are Some Of The Attributes
That Make A Man Great?!

Yes, I Do ... But
Think On This:

Samson Was Physically
AND
Spiritually Ruined
BUT
In The Midst Of His Misery
He Truly Learned About Himself
AND
Because Of Complete Repentance
AND
Turning Away From Sin
AND
Turning Toward The Savior
The Lord Heard Him In His Plea
AND
Gave Him Forgiveness
AND
Restoration To Power
To Complete His Mission
Even Though It Cost Him His Earthly Life!

This Is Lesson For Us All:

Our Sin May Be Forgiven
BUT
There Are Always Consequences
To Our Wrong-Way Walking!

Thanks, Dad!
I Knew I Could Count On You!
I Love You!

I Love You, Son!
You May Count On Me
BUT
You Must Depend On
AND
Trust Completely
In And On The Eternal God!

I Hear That And ... I Totally Agree!
