My dog snoopy and I just went for a short walk and my mind wandered and meditated on the condition of the world around me. The world’s people to the most part are losing their souls to false teachings and leaders. I asked the Lord why not now to return for His bride to take them up away from such suffering. The Lord answered ” not yet, there are lost sheep that still will come into my pasture.” I thought in your time Lord and at your time!
Yesterday I spotted Racoon tracks beside the work shop and this thought came to mind, that almost all living creatures leave some kind of tracks as they pass their life in this earth. We as God’s creatures, are created to Praise our Creator and this should be observed by the tracks we make as we travel this sod. We are born in sin and our tracks are led by our rebellion to God. God loved and loves us so much that He gave His only Son to live, to teach, to die and live again that through His shed blood we are redeemed and can walk and lead others by our spiritual tracks, leading others toward God and our eternal home, Heaven. I close with the chorus of a song written and sang by my dear friend Ed Sealy titled ” New Tracks”.
“Brand new tracks heading for Glory
Brand new tracks because I heard a story
How a Savior bled and died, rose again and coming back
Now I’m traveling on brand new tracks.”
When I was young and being bad,
I thank God for the dad I had,
He would not beat me,
But he would guide,
With words of wisdom,
Obtained from God’s word,
He kept by his side.
Every night I would wait,
Watching him come down the hill,
Walking from work
To enjoy his family,
While supper we ate.
Dad made sure his family,
Went to Church each Sunday,
To learn about Jesus,
That He was the truth, the Life,
And the way,
We would sing “Jesus loves me,”
And ” This is my Father’s world”.
I thank God,
For my father,
And his leading me,
To know the Master,
And a home with Jesus,
For Eternity.
Thank you dad,
And thank you Heavenly Father,
For loving me,
And loving others,
for Eternity!

Angels are not only messengers of God, He created them with wisdom. 2 Samuel 14:20.
We are being observed daily by angels! I awoke one night in severe pain and I believe I was in the company of an angel, I saw a male figure for a glimpse!
Angels are pictured or painted as beautiful beings with majestic wings, usually a female like being. What does the Bible say about these beings? In the next few days we are going on a voyage through the Scriptures to see what the creator has to say about angels. So come along on this voyage with me! Neh.9:6; Col.1:16. Neh.9:6 You alone are the LORD;
You have made heaven,
The heaven of heavens, with all their host,
The earth and everything on it,
The seas and all that is in them,
And You preserve them all.
The host of heaven worships You.
Col.1:16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. These beings were created by God and Christ! …

Hi my friends! I have been asked many times what happens when a believer or Saint dies, let’s look at what our life’s manuel tells us about dying in the next few writings.
King James Version (KJV)
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
King James Version (KJV)
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
These verses tell us that the dead Saints are asleep in Christ!
B.
King James Version (KJV)
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Blessed are the dead in the Lord!
C.
King James Version (KJV)
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Paul writes to die is gain. [ better than to live ].
[ to be continued ]
I awoke this morning,
with Jesus on my mind,
so I grabbed paper and pen,
and wrote these lines.
Jesus went to that cross,
that cross at Calvary,
hung there shedding His blood,
in such agony.
Jesus went to that cross,
that cross at Calvary,
because He loved you and me.
Jesus went to that cross,
that cross at Calvary,
bearing our sins,
so we could be free.
Jesus went to that cross,
that cross at Calvary,
to give us Salvation,
and a home in Heaven,
for eternity.
