Dreams to ashes?

Dreams to ashes?

OBSERVANCES People make extreme sacrifices or take large risks to acquire things or experiences that they think will be a dream come true, yet the results are often quite different. A lady described the luxury home the family acquired when she was a youngster but after three months it was just a place where they lived and no longer held the magic of first moving in. 12/13/2024 05:57 AM

DEVOTIONS The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. 12/13/2024 05:57 AM

Trump following ‘the law?’ Incoming President Donald Trump is facing a problem that nobody could have ever imagined … unless they’ve listened to Donald Trump and his supporters these last ten years. Seems Trump is expecting everyone to follow “THE LAW.” He wants people nationwide to do exactly as he says, when, for example, it comes to how he wants to pursue “illegals.” It gets a little murky when an “immigrant” is instead someone who has applied for asylum status, because asylum procedures are ALSO “the law.” “The law” comes into play when discussing things like “state’s rights,” and whether a locality is bound to aid the Federal Government in its every so-called “law enforcement” effort. 12/12/2024 08:55 PM

Who is the sucker?

Who is the sucker?

I read a story recently about a lady school teacher in Yazoo City, Miss., in the impoverished Delta country that is teaching unprivileged kids and there is not enough money to even pay her a salary. Yet kids that would fall through the crack of life are staying in school and making plans for the future. When asked about financial strain she faces, she uttered a phrase that applies to all of us: “What I don’t get in this life, I will get in the next.” 12/12/2024 08:55 PM
