Israel Here We Come

This morning we have been preparing to go to the church, gather with a group of Christians, go tothe the airport and begin our trip to Israel. We have been planning this for some months. What is the purpose of this? The history of that part of the world is certainly important. That is where it all began. There is no doubt that mankind owes a great debt to those early civilizations who charted so many ways, as we learned in our early civilization courses in high school. But the important events that occurred over there happened quite recently as time goes. And it all transpired by the will of God. And the Son of God charted a Way that cannot be equaled. For He gave importance to that which is not passing, but that which is eternal. Therefore we go to honor Him. We go to see where he walked. We listen to His history in a sort of first hand way. We bow down before Him as we view the places where He suffered. And unlike many of the early men who in their ingenuity and skill found fire, learned to trade and barter, built machines, etc.,etc., this One came to fix things we could not fix. And to do it He died. So he fixed our sin problem. And we thank Him for it. And we go to honor Him....

30minutes every morning

We start just about every day off with a 30 minute walk. After we have a cup of coffee of course. Some times we just talk about "things", family, children, grandchildren, schedules for the day, etc. But many times as we are walking around the church parking lot we pray for our church, pastors, members ,the sick and other needs. Then there are other times we just start quoting scriptures, I will say one then LaJuanah will say one. It is amazing how the Lord will bring to your remembrance the scriptures He would have you remember. Sometimes we will separate and go at our own speed. Most of the time praying. Although the other afternoon we went to walk and a little black bulldog came charging up behind us. Scared us both half to death.
I am not sure why that happened but Lajuanah was ready to go home. So we look forward to our walks. It is a way for us to share part of our day and just enjoy the day. After all, each day is the day the Lord has made and we shall rejoice and be glad in it. God Bless all who may chance upon this little tale. I hope one day soon to be able to share some of the things God is laying on my heart. Until then, God Bless

Walking Slow

For those of you that are waiting to see if I am going to write anything worth reading or not...........or not I guess fits for now. Seems like God is working with me right now and I am just going slower than I am used to. I am not brain dead although some might question this. We are trying to prepare to go to Israel and this is all new to both of us. Traveling overseas is a biggy for two old timers like us. I hope to be so full of the Lord when I return from this trip and look forward to sharing with all of you what God chooses to show me. So dont give up on me. Feel free to add to this in your comments, who knows. You may be the one to inspire me. Thanks again, appreciate any input ..............I remain Wayne
