God...You are in the finest church in the world. God's creation of nature. Outdoors is the place to see His work, feel His presence and know His greatness. The sunrise is the art of Jesus, he paints it new each morning. Each moment is a new portrait, a painting of His infinite greatness, variety, beauty and love. If we get out of the work of men (cities) and get out to the work of God ... the Earth... we are changed forever.

I felt so sorry for a good young Christian man in Anchorage years ago who was so distressed because the church was demanding money and he was on disability. He thought he would have to change churches.Margery Billdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589667608391862832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-1062580058450926972017-12-10T22:09:58.546-06:002017-12-10T22:09:58.546-06:00Keep one's feet on that Rock.Keep one's feet on that Rock.intermittent marathonian 00https://www.blogger.com/profile/13111701453284760139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-78960040918166579502017-12-10T20:22:39.104-06:002017-12-10T20:22:39.104-06:00I got back into church but soon left it again.

All I wanted to do was to worship with the congregation but all I got was opened palms wanting me to give money for this or for that. I had to leave again. I needed a charity myself!

I have learned to ask of Him help, direction, ability and wisdom before I attempt anything. It is comforting having Him as a constant friend. His word, the Bible, is my favorite book and study. There have been times that I foolishly failed to follow the path He has marked out for us. In the end, I found myself fleeing to Him. By His grace I live. Blessed be the Lord, Creator of all that is. <br /><br />I WAITED patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.<br /> He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry<br />clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.<br /> And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: <br />many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.<br /> <br /> Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and<br />respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.<br /> Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou<br />hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot<br />be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of<br />them, they are more than can be numbered.<br /><br /> Hope you all are doing good through this little cold spell :D<br />John D Baxterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03125902961424743443noreply@blogger.com
