“SEND THEM AWAY . . .”
October 9, 2026 By Leave a Comment
Disciples—misguided about children—to parents—tried to send them away—criticised,
“You shouldn’t bother Jesus.”
“Parents who brought their children to Jesus to lay His hands on them and bless them, were rebuked by the disciples, who were rebuked by Jesus, who welcomed the children in His arms and blessed them.”
Disciples‐‐‐misguided about the crowds—getting late, getting hungry—tried to send them away—to Jesus,
“Send them away, to go buy food for themselves.”
Jesus said, “You feed them. Then Jesus fed thousands with five biscuits and two fish, with leftovers (lots of leftovers).
Discples‐‐‐misguided about hurting woman—uncomfortable—tried to send her away—urged Jesus,
“Send her away—she is bothering us with all her crying out (shouting).”
Then Jesus stopped everything, and healed her.
Family—misguided about older relatives—we ‘can’t’ take care of
them‐‐‐try to send them away—to each other,
“It’s time for a nursing home—better off there.”
The Bible says, “If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

BE STILL
October 9, 2026 By Leave a Comment
Be still ?
Now that is un-American nowadays.
Everything in us and around us tells us, compels us to keep moving (faster and faster), keep getting more information (faster and faster), keep getting more done (faster anf faster), keep getting more efficient (faster and faster), keep expecting more (faster and faster).
Did I say “faster” ?
Just observe what is on your screens, and everywhere you turn.
If you’re over 60 (maybe 50), and if you are not totally swamped by “faster, faster, faster”, and if you can remember when most everything was slower (much slower), then you can read the rest of this article.

Did you notice that unannounced visits are no longer appreciated, even no longer welcome ?
Did you ever experience that, with your children ?
Did you notice that visits have to be ‘scheduled’ ?
Did you ever have a need, someone to share it with, and there was no one (or shall I say there was no one available) ?
Did you ever give up on seeing someone you need to see because of the above, because you know they are too busy ?
Do not bother others, because you might be a bother ?
Do you think back on times when everything was slower, people were slower and had more time for each other ?

Today is today !
“You can’t go back !”
Don’t live in the past !
Keep moving ahead !
Don’t be left behind !

Better put that in my schedule.
Rest.
Better put that in my schedule.

GOT TROUBLE

You got trouble ?
or
You got trouble by the tail ?
or
I don’t share my trouble.
I can handle it.
I just deal with it.
I don’t “Bear one another’s burdens . . .”
I never think about the rest:
“. . . and in doing so, fulfill the law of Christ.”
REALLY, REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE
October 9, 2026 By Leave a Comment
Like the preachers and the writers gave legitimacy and inspiration for the American Revolution—
—I wish I could write something that would “Make A Difference”, In Our Country’s Life, “In The Parts That Are For Keeps”.
In individual lives “the parts that are for keeps” means a relationship with Jesus now and forever.
In our country’s life “the parts that are for keeps” means freedom.
Our Freedom was founded and won by sacrifice and faith in God.
Our Freedom must be maintained by sacrifice and faith in God.
Our Freedom, NOW, must be regained (won again) by sacrifice and faith in God.
ALWAYS
October 9, 2026 By Leave a Comment
We must always thank God for putting us in His Company, of believers, to be faithful stewards with everything He entrusted to us, as we do our work heartedly as unto the Lord and not unto man, because it is the Lord Christ we serve.

LOOPHOLES IN-JUSTICE
October 9, 2026 By Leave a Comment
Loopholes in justice
are
Loopholes for injustice.
Stories old and new—now more than ever—of criminals awaiting justice for their crime—for years, for decades.
Rarely does it actually take years and years to determine guilt and a fitting sentence.
Something happened, and now the justice system in America is about the LABORIOUS process of giving a hearing to every imaginable special interest and every imaginable psychological interpretation.
Swift justice, as the Bible calls for, as an immediate deterrent to crime, is lost in the myriad of ‘news’ reports that keep a ‘story’ going, instead of reporting a crime, trial, sentence, end of story.
