Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Last Day of the Year!

It is hard to believe that TOMORROW begins a new year!  2015

It is hard to believe it has been 15 years since all the hype about the disasters Y2K would cause at the stroke of midnight, January 1, 2000! 

It is hard to believe we have been in NC more than 6 years already!

It is hard to believe we have NINE grandchildren, the oldest being a teenager already!

TIME just keeps on ticking by, doesn't it?  One of these days, time as we know it will end!  And ETERNITY will begin!  The older I get, the more I am looking forward to that time!

We make preparations for all sorts of things in our lives, the part that is controlled by TIME.
I pray each and everyone of you will/have prepared for ETERNITY!
If you have not, I pray that will be your first PRIORITY for 2015!
The bad news is that we are ALL sinners; we've ALL done bad things that have broken God's law. 
More bad news - because we have broken God's law, we are ALL gonna die and spend ETERNITY in hell.
The good news is that we don't have to!  That is why Jesus came from heaven to earth.  God became a man so He could be a part of mankind so He could die in our place.  He had no sins to pay for on the cross.  He was dying for you and me!  If you can put your faith and trust in this, He will make a place for you in HIS eternal home!  I pray 2015 is a NEW BEGINNING for you!
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish (in hell) but have everlasting life (in heaven with Him).  John 3:16


You saw this picture yesterday.  I took it to Walmart and had three 8x10's printed.  One for myself and one for Tim's parents that we will be visiting.  I must say it printed out BEAUTIFULLY!!!  Good job on the picture, Liz!
