My youngest grandson had a birthday party not too long back. It was a pirate party so all his mates came dressed in pirate gear - eye-patches, head scarves, etc. At the door we presented every pirate with a plastic blow-up sword, which looked good but caused no damage at all. They wielded their

The seasons are changing, the dogwoods are beginning to bloom, and the grass is growing and is most likely in desperate need of a trim. There is Life springing up all around us.
The earth is slowly waking up from it’s three month slumber, with a stretching yawn the warmth of the sun is felt again,

I want to close with this poem by Lois Reynolds Carpenter, entitled “Second Birth”.
I never loved the pleasant earth
So much as since my second birth.
The shy forget-me-not’s soft blue
Seems bits of Heaven shining through.
The golden buttercup’s bright face
Proclaims the glory of His grace.

John Bevere states, “However (eternity), it’s not just a matter of ceaseless time, as it is not subject to time. Eternity transcends time. To speak of eternity in terms of merely perpetual duration is to miss the full picture. To capture the best view of eternity, we must look at God Himself. He is
