Making a Difference in your Life, in the Parts that are for Keeps!
When I was at the bank the other day, I had to comment about a sweet picture on a calendar.
It showed a mother gorilla gently holding her baby—lovely, for sure.
I simply said, “Sweet, but not my relatives.”
The two bank employees heartily agreed.
Then I posed a question, “If that gorilla could talk and comment on people in a similar endearing picture, what would she say ?”
Immediate response, without hesitation, “Lovely humans, not my relatives.”
Trump’s election is light at the end of the tunnel.

The judgment pronounced, after it is too late—name not found in “The Book”—or—name written in “The Lamb’s Book of Life”.
The sentence ordered, carried out immediately—“Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”—or—“Come, you blessed of My Father. Enter the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”
