                    I remember years ago a young woman who was divorced, then “shacked up” with a man (Can we use the old term, instead of using those sanitized words, “She had an affair”?). When challenged she said, ‘It’s not like I was a virgin.” This woman was brought up in a conservative church yet implied that,

                    When one is searching for the lost property both of his father and of his teacher, his teacher’s loss takes precedence over that of his father since his father brought him only into the life of this world, whereas his teacher, who taught him wisdom [i.e., Torah], has brought him into the life of

                    A PORT IN THE STORM
My grandmother was the one who took me to church at a young age and introduced me to Jesus. She was the one who raised me during the early years after my parents divorced. She was the one who prayed for me as I grew up, going between parents and providing a port in the storm

                    “Sin goes way beyond disobedience.  The deepest problem of sin is that it makes us incapable of knowing the Father…we cannot know the Father’s heart.  It makes us so blind that it is impossible for us to see the Father’s face.”  C. Baxter

He climbed up out onto the roof of the burning home, and began to cry for his father’s help.  The father looked up at his son from the ground, and told him to jump.  “I can’t see you though daddy,

Fleeced by his fellows and folly, and facing famine he found

                    A SMILE IS ALL WE NEED
When the famous Canadian 20th Century Pentecostal missionary, Jonathan Goforth, was 16 and still living at home with his parents on the farm, his father bought a second farm. 
He asked Jonathan to look after a huge field on that second farm and get it ready for harvest.

                    NO TOLERANCE OF FALSE TEACHING "VIRUSES"
I remember hearing about computer viruses. Could a computer catch a germ? I then learned that computer viruses were often malicious programs, developed by evil-doers, to destroy computers. They are often downloaded stealthily, without you knowing it.

IN THE JEWISH WEDDING TRADITION,
•  As the young man becomes of age to marry,
•  He builds a room onto his father’s house,
•  So there will be a place 
•  For him and his bride to live.
