After Dewey asked me to write, I prayed. After I prayed, Dewey said to write something about the theme of DDC: Fruit and God/not luck, I went to the Lord in Prayer and this is what the Lord has given me to share with you Today.
I believe that 1st we must know the love of God –where trust and faith begin to grow. Then we can apply God’s unconditional love to our life (1 Co 13:4-8) of being patient and kind when it hurts our ego, pride and selfish ambition the most. THEN, we can take a look to see IF the FRUIT of the SPIRIT is [active or inactive] in our life! Here’s our scale to see how we are measuring in God’s eyes”
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
LOVE NEVER FAILS and AGAINST LOVE THERE CAN BE NOTHING GREATER THAN GOD WHOM LIVES IN US THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR … GOD’S HOLY SON!
From Page 198 of The Train Whistle, Sounding the Call of God’s Love:
Words Are Powerful
Words can be the difference in where we show our appreciation and acknowledgment: toward God or claiming success as a boast in ourselves. Words reflect our hearts to show if we choose to praise and thank God or ignore what God has done. Regardless of our opinion on this, God hears our words, and we either praise and thank God in all that we do or we shun him sometimes.
Luck seems to be an all-American word, and although seemingly innocent, luck is attached to e-mails and is ultimately where some people place their hope. Luck differs from faith in that in faith, there is no doubt, but in luck, there is. Luck is based on a collision of accidents. Faith is based on our hope in all that Jesus has done. Good luck to you has a nice sound and is meant well, but luck has no attachment to God’s good will. Instead, we should say: if it is the Lord’s will, then you will be blessed by your faith.
We are blessed by God’s grace that he has given us through our faith in Jesus Christ, not by luck. A more powerful expression of words directs focus onto God’s good will in his perfect guidance of his wisdom, where we are truly promoted in our lives that God has given us to live. Be blessed reminds us to focus on our gifts that are received from God with a grateful heart, giving God praise and thanksgiving at the same time.
Luck indicates by accident or good fortune and by means gained by our own efforts alone without a need for God’s help. However, a blessing acknowledges what God has done. Give God the glory for the good things that happen your way and watch God bless you even more when the going gets tough. Not by chance or reason, but by the grace of God.
Words can offer thanks, and with our words we can serve the Lord. We have a choice to choose our words carefully. Experiencing positive words changes our perspective in experiencing God.
To say “I am blessed” or “It was a blessing” serves God more than saying what the world says: “It was luck” or “I am lucky.” There is a power in our words.
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned (Matthew 12:36-37 (see also Proverbs 16:1-3).
Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment (Proverbs 12:19).
Blessings and curses come from what we allow our tongues to say (see James 3:10). God hears every word that comes out of our mouths. Be careful for twenty-one days and challenge your heart to guard your tongue. Watch your luck change to being blessed in all that you do.
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Simply let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No”; anything beyond this comes from the evil one (James 3:10; Ephesians 4:29; Matthew 5:37 see also James 3:2-8).

My Statement of Faith
The Train Whistle is all about God, done all for the glory of God, written in the name of God’s Son, Jesus, and through the work of the Holy Spirit, according to God’s holy Word, as much as God enabled me to know and write. It is the Holy Spirit who gives me the inspiration and words to write, and it is the Holy Spirit who will convict our hearts to know the truth.
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is –his good, pleasing and perfect will (Romans 12:2).)
The greatest reward that I can receive by writing The TrainWhistle will be when someone understands the deeper meaning in the title. It will be the spirit of God whom brings you understanding. I hope that every time you hear the train whistle call out, you will stop, seek, and listen for God’s truth as you think of him.

From Constance in Canada as she reads The Train Whistle, “Our prayers lay the track down on which God’s power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, his power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails. –Watchman Nee

I believe that 1st we must learn to walk with Jesus in our own life, but there is MORE to our life than just our self! We are here for a purpose set in us by God, because HE loves us all so much! We are to share the light we find in our darkest days, because of the hope we have in Christ and we are season despair with the favour of God for others to see that there is something far greater at the end of every trial!

Things only happen for 2 reasons:

• God is directly blessing us and HE does so every day!
• God gives permission for trials and tests to come, BUT not without a GOOD purpose!

Romans 8;28 is my life verse and I find that I can apply it every day to my life unconditionally!

I had one thing that I had realized during the recent passing of my dad that I believe it is the time to share if you would care to read. I have written the following in a collection of short writings, called “A Soul Never Dies … A True Story of When Grace Shows UP!”

The Sugar Tree
One of the greatest childhood memories I have is an old fashioned sugar tap in an old Maple tree that my grandfather would collect the sugar from in buckets that he would hang on the active sugar tap that was implanted in the tree.
Fuzzy Anderson said, “Most people go to church and get that sugar in the sweet word of God, but only take a handful of the sweetness with them. Then, use a little here and a little there and then throw the rest away not realizing the value of what they hold in the palm of their hand.”
The knowledge we gain from the Word of God is like the sugar flowing free from a sugar tapped Maple tree!
We get that knowledge flowing in our mind and the tap kind of hurts most times because it will mean we will need to change our mind and ways of thinking as we receive the sweet Word of God. But, as that sugar flows and drips through our mind to fill that bucket that collects in our heart, we fill up full of sweetness –super-natural (spiritual) God knowledge and love until it is time to overflow!
For a time, after that season of growth in the Lord, it will be comfortable, but God wants –and calls us to grow; so like a new tap is placed in a sugar tree, our mind needs to be tapped into God’s good Word and tests and trials we will go through, but not alone when we are tapped into that faithful sugar tree!
God’s sweet word will drip from our mind and into our heart if we will endure …It takes time to fill a bucket with just one drip at a time…by God’s own design!
However, according to God’s purpose and time, our “heart bucket” will be full of God’s sweetness and be ready to overflow, if we will endure patience.

The tapping of the tree The sugar that will flow

The tapping of our mind The sweetness of God’s Word

The Bucket full Knowledge, Wisdom, Discernment,
…but most of all Love.

The heart is prepared Peace & Joy –Love is the sweetness of God

Love is Patient and Kind.

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

God Bless you and yours!

Today we are going to continue to talk about, there is no such thing as luck, it’s all about God and being a fruit tree for the Kingdom! The challenge to all of us is, are we producing fruit for God? What will your obituary say?

Our Teaching on “There is no luck, it’s all about God”, has created good discussions for God’s Glory Alone! There are certain Godly principles that God has impressed upon me to stress, and this is one of them. Here is a note from Rick, a Vietnam Vet……….

Dewey,

WOW – Never really thought about it – – – I always considered my survival in Vietnam ‘luck’ – – – Sure wasn’t, was it !!! Only wish I fully understood why he kept me here ? Just to wait till I found him again or does he have something else in mind… Re-Devoted again; (but maybe still a little confused) !?!?!

I thank GOD daily I have the two of you in my lives !!!

rick

Thank you for your testimony Rick! I am so thankful for you and all those that share here at the CUP! One of the greatest thrills here is the amount of people who make themselves vulnerable for God….and share HIS works, HIS greatness!

Here is a reply from Karen Rowe…………

Cuz God gave us purpose as long as we have breath in our body … and when we have completed our job in Jesus’ name then God will say, well done my good and faithful servant. The Lord will lead and guide us always through our pains and difficulties; and along side another who also has a need. My love and prayers also join for Rick and thankful he survived such a horrible time for such a beautiful purpose for God…I know this by faith. We’re not home yet, we’ve got a job to do and a life to live in Christ…until we finally make it home …Love in Christ, Karen

Thank you for sharing Karen!

Bearing fruit for the Kingdom! I wrote the following column for the Windom, Minnesota newspaper this week…………Please read on because this will show you exactly what I have been Preaching and Teaching on…………

What I am about to share with you is one of the reasons Windom
remains a special place for me.
It is where my Godly foundation was built.
People sowed seeds into my life.
In John 15:8, Jesus says, “This is to my
Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing
yourselves to be my disciples.”
Bearing good fruit, let us all be fruit trees!
I attended American Lutheran Church
when I lived in Windom. My Sunday School
teachers were Orville Fredrickson, Irene Hartberg
and Everett Stevens. I still have a booklet
that Irene gave me when I graduated form
Windom Area High School in 1974.
As many of you know, Irene was very
special. Irene’s love of people carried over
into the lessons she taught us in Sunday
School.
Orville Fredrickson was the butcher at the old Fair Store in Windom.
He was a quiet man, but carried himself in a Godly manner. He treated
all customers with the love of Jesus and had a quite strength about him.
Everett Stevens left a strong foundation with me. What I remember
about Everett from Sunday School was that he always wore a dress
suit, white shirt and tie. He told me that he always dressed that way in
the house of the Lord to show respect. Orville dressed the same way.
The Lord teaches us to bear good fruit for the Kingdom, for the glory
of God. The seeds sowed into my life by Irene, Orville and Everett are
bearing fruit these days as a pastor for God’s Glory Alone Ministries.
They set a Godly example for me — in Sunday School, in their families
and at their occupations.
Be a fruit tree for God. Sow seeds into the lives of others. Irene,
Orville, and Everett did that for me years ago in Windom, they had
an effect on me that has stayed with me my whole life, for which I am
eternally grateful.
And you know what? Many other people in Windom did the same!
Be fruit trees for the kingdom!

So, you see the seeds that were planted in me by my Sunday School teachers years ago are bearing fruit for the Kingdom and then I could go on and on of all the others who have done the same! This email showed up yesterday. It’s been over 30 years since Jason worked for me at WFRN in South Bend/Elkhart, Indiana ……..This is just an OUTSTANDING Testimony on how God works, and being a fruit tree! Jason heads up the Goshen College radio station. I love Jason’s statement, “paying it forward!”

Dewey, Below is a story on the GC radio station. I still talk about you with my students in the classroom and at the radio station. Thanks for all your guidance and mentoring during my early years in the industry. It's a privilege to pay it forward. Be well, Jason

Goshen College radio station the best in Indiana and the country, again GOSHEN, Ind. – Goshen College’s student-operated radio station WGCS 91.1 The Globe ( www.globeradio.org ) just added two more huge accomplishments to its growing list: 2013 Best College Station in the Nation and Indiana’s Radio School of the Year. Best College Station in the Nation This is the second time the college radio station has received the top national award in three years from the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS), making it the first college to be a repeat winner in the competition, which is against every college and university in the country of every size. Last year, the station was a runner-up for the top award. The station’s General Manager Jason Samuel and a group of his students who work at the station were on hand to win the award at the 73rd Annual Conference of the IBS in New York City on March 2. The Globe beat out two other finalists for the top award: William Patterson University (enrollment: 11,400 students) and DePaul University (enrollment: 25,000 students). In addition, students won six national awards and were finalists in 20 categories. IBS is the oldest college radio association in the country. “I honestly thought we’d never win again, but they told us that the most significant factor separating WGCS from the other radio stations is our community involvement,” said Samuel, an assistant professor of communication. “We’re doing the best we can and it feels great to have others recognize our hard work.” The Globe’s community involvements include hosting a blood drive, airing local high school events, partnering with Ignition Garage to bring artists for local concerts and helping with Downtown Goshen’s First Fridays. Indiana’s Radio School of the Year and Television School of the Year And just a few weeks earlier on Feb. 15, for the second consecutive year, Goshen College earned the state titles of both Radio School of the Year and Television School of the Year in the 2013 Indiana Association of School Broadcasting’s (IASB) college broadcasting competition. Last year, the college was the first school in the IASB competition to win the School of the Year awards in both radio and television in the same academic year, and in doing so, Goshen became only the second school ever to win the award in both categories since the first awards were given in 2005. Goshen College broadcasting students also won 22 other radio and television awards in the competition, including six first-place awards. The Correspondent is the college’s bi-weekly television news broadcast produced by Goshen College students and distributed via the campus cable system and the Internet. Assistant Professor of Communication Seth Conley is the adviser for The Correspondent. "We are honored to receive an award of this magnitude, especially two years in a row,” said Conley. “We realize that we are facing some very tough competition from other strong video programs across the state, so we are thrilled to be included in that group, let alone being named Television School of the Year for the third time in four years.” The Globe has been on the air since 1958, is managed by members of the Goshen College Communication Department and is staffed by about 40 student workers and community volunteers. Each week The Globe features a fresh and eclectic mix of Americana, alternative acoustic, folk, singer-songwriters and world beat music. The Globe is one of a select number of reporting stations to the Americana Airplay Chart. It provides 24-hour programming, which includes music, news, public affairs and sports. “We’re tickled!” said Samuel, about the repeat win. “We have students at all grade levels recognized with awards. If we didn’t have that deep of a roster of talent, we wouldn’t have repeated as Radio School of the Year. We tell students that when they come here they can get behind the microphone or the camera immediately and start working at their craft. So they gain four years of hands-on experience, instead of just one or two years like they would at much larger schools.” 

I thank Jason for keeping in touch with me and letting me know about the fruit he is producing! PRAISE GOD! Fruit Trees in

Goshen,Indiana! 

So, as we go forth in our days that the Lord has given us here on earth, sow seeds for the Kingdom! 

We would be thankful for you to help us go forth here at FGGAM and sow seeds into this ministry as we reach one person at a time for Jesus Christ, whether their in Goshen, Indiana, Virginia, or Malaysia! FGGAM is using, the CUP, the web, TV, Radio, email, facebook, texting, 

letters, Preaching, Teaching, Counseling, and all that is made available to us to reach people for Jesus Christ. We need your help to help sustain this Ministry. Will you be a Barnabas for us? Will you give us the cost of a CUP of coffee daily? If everyone here on the CUPgave $10.00 a month, you all would sustain this Ministry with your gifts! We pray that each day you see how God is using FGGAM to be Salt and Light to the World. You can give on line at www.fggam.org or mail to FGGAM PO BOX 65516 Albuquerque, NM 87193.

In talking to Pastor Steve Freeman yesterday, he reminded me that Easter is fast approaching, it is March 31st! I always think 

April for Easter because my Dad passed away in April of 1992 on Easter morning. Dad passed away the week he retired of a heart attack. I will never forget that Pastor Zeh came to visit Mom early that morning and brought Mom an Easter Lilly and as they talked into the morning and the sun came up the Easter Lilly opened up! Only God.......no luck there! 

This is from Pastor Leonard................

Be blessed!

Mostly accurate and definitely worth a read. Jesus’ Death – 60 seconds to understand 60 seconds with God… For the next 60 seconds, set aside whatever you’re doing and take this opportunity! THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty. At the time crucifixion was the “worst” death. Only the worst criminals were condemned to be crucified. Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet. Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long. The nails were driven into His wrist. Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There’s a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist, that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breathe. Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the pain, so He was forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage. Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours. Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water from his wounds. From common images, we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side… But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear, Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture. He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds. The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters (just less than a gallon) of blood. Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His members; a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His chest. All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying His own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where His hands were nailed). Jesus had to endure this experience, so that we can have free access to God. So that our sins could be “washed” away. All of them, with no exception! JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR US! He died for us! It is easy to pass jokes and false witness statements by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes we feel ashamed to forward to others because we are worried of what they may think about us. 60 seconds with God… For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you’re doing and take this opportunity! Take a moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing what pleases Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, please, follow Jesus’ instructions He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33): “Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before My Father in heaven; but whosoever denies Me before others, I also will deny before My Father in heaven.” Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my Savior. He keeps me alive day and night. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13. Send this to all those you love. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”.. A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and sings it to you when you’ve forgotten the words!

Dear Family of our Lord of Jesus,

Thank you my Dear Friends for stopping by for a CUP!

Love to read the Word and hear the Lord

Cup was SUPER!

On reading Psalms & Proverbs!

I take the date example today is March 5. So I read Psalm 5 then I add 30
(Days in a month) & read 35; 65; 95 & 125 plus proverbs 5. Helps me remember where I’m reading. Tomorrow it’s psalm 6; 36; 96; & 126. You get the idea. I save psalm 119 for 31st day of month it has 176 verses!

Don’t give in! Don’t give up! NO compromise!

Praying 4 U!

Luv ya! Pastor Leonard

Hi Dewey…I’ve really been reflecting on a past Dewey’s Cup and using the word “luck”. I, too, do not believe in “luck” and understand the derivative of the word. The Lord really spoke to me and put on my heart to use the term “Good Blessings” instead of “Good Luck”…that’s what I aspire to do…give Him glory! The simplest things can make a huge difference…Love to you, Sharon, and your doggies. Leslie Mouser

Leslie also said this, Your on God’s timeline not your own! AMEN!

Before I go into today’s lesson I learned yesterday from my friend Franz Boelter of the passing of John Michalau,he had been fighting an illness for 4 years,,,,,,,,,,,My friend Franz who grew up just up the road from me in Windom on River Road posted this about John…….

We lost one of the best men I know on Sunday morning. John Michelau died after struggling with illness over the past four years. Please pray for his wife Kathy and daughters Sophie and Abbey. His funeral is Thursday night, March 7, at 7:00 at Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie with visitation an hour before the service. The church address is 6630 Shady Oak Road in Eden Prairie. Albin Chapel in Eden Prairie is doing the arrangements. Memorials can be given to the family, Bethany Academy, or Timber Bay. We’re going to miss you a ton, great friend, but I’m so glad that you are now with the Lord and free of your pain and frustrations. God bless you, John! You influenced my life and others so much

I know most of you did not know John, but he is exactly what we need more of! A fruit Tree………a HUGE fruit tree for the Kingdom…….here is just one of the letters written in memory of John who was such a Godly man, husband, father, teacher and coach.

I feel lucky to have had such a kind, caring, funny and fun-loving teacher, coach, and friend through my high school years. He was for me a model of God fearing manliness during an impressionable time of life. I remember his infectious laugh like it was yesterday. I am so very sorry for your loss.

~
Jon Marty,
Edina, Minnesota

There was no luck in the life of John, his life was led by the Lord….it was the work of the Lord in his life, because John turned his life over to our Father. John carried with him the favor of God and blessed many in his life, let it be said the same of us!

Mark Twain said live your life so that at your funeral even the undertaker will cry! We write our own obituary in the way we live our life!

Men like John fear God, Men and Women who fear God have nothing to hide! Those of us who fear God do not want to be away from God. Living with God involves no fear, in fact fear is sin. We all at times get a bit fearful or sometimes fear comes into us very strongly because we are tired, wore down and spiritual warfare occurs. But we have God with us.

In these day’s it is AWESOME to read the testimony’s about the life of people like John Michelau, what an example for us all!

For all my Windom friends I will have a devotional column in the Citizen www.windomnews.com this week about being a Fruit Tree for the Kingdom.

I am thankful for all the comments about yesterday’s CUP and getting word that the CUP is forwarded by many of you to help bring others into the Kingdom! It’s just absolutely amazing what is happening with the Ministry of FGGAM! We thank God for what HE is doing through FGGAM!

It’s truly amazing, a Spiritual high when you get to the the point in your life where it’s all about GOD! Nothing but GOD and HIS ways!

Paul Dokken said yesterday’s CUP reminded him of what Isaiah 65:1 says…………..

” I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, “here am I, here am I.”

What God showed me yesterday through my talk with Paul and reading Isaiah 65:1 and through the phone call’s of others yesterday is that many of you forwarding the CUP to others that do not have a close personal relationship with our Lord you are proclaiming the Word of God as in Isaiah 65:1. PRAISE GOD!

What does it mean to be lucky?

The dictionary describes luck as random, when things happen by chance. Things do seem to happen by chance sometimes…
The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favour to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.
Ecclesiastes 9:11

An athlete can fall during a race, an investor can loose their money when a business fails, a friend can be diagnosed with cancer, while a criminal may escape without being punished.
Equally, good things can happen; people fall in love, cures for diseases are discovered, a job application is successful – but is it all really just luck? Or, is God really in control?
Good luck
God doesn’t promise us good luck, in fact the word luck is never mentioned in the Bible. There are no random or chance happenings with God in control. God has a purpose for this world and there is no event in our lives that is not in some way a part of that plan.
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Isaiah 45:7

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28-29

The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Proverbs 15:3

The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.Proverbs 16:33
Perhaps instead of wishing our friends “good luck” it would be much better to say “God bless you”

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord turn His face towards you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26

Success
When we wish someone “good luck” don’t we really mean that we wish them success, happiness, good health, happy families, contentment and other good things?
That may not seem like a bad thing at all, but it is so easy to let money be the top priority in our lives…

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this, or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:13

We are surrounded by pressure to achieve success, to work harder, earn more money, buy a bigger house, a newer car…

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 1 Timothy 6:9

God wants us to trust in Him, not in money;

Whoever trusts in his riches will fall but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf. Proverbs 11:28

The LORD makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He has set the world upon them. He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness. For by strength no man shall prevail. 1 Samuel 2:7-9

If we trust in God and try to follow His ways …

God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:19

who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us… Ephesians 3:20

God’s word, the Bible, teaches us His way to find happiness.

Do not let this Book of the Law (Bible) depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful wherever you go. Joshua 1:8

Gambling
You may know of people who have lost their homes or their fortunes or their families by gambling, Gambling seems to offer a way to get money quickly and easily but the Bible offers good advice;

Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow. Proverbs 13:11

The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10

A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished. Proverbs 28:20
Starting over
Jesus told a parable about a rich young man who gambled away all his inheritance and everything that he had. He was so desperate that he found a job feeding pigs and so hungry that he would eat some of the pigs food. You can read about it in Luke 15:11-32.
The young man was afraid to go back to his father’s house but when he did he was welcomed with open arms. God is like the young man’s father, He’s waiting for us to get our priorities right, and willing to forgive us our mistakes if we repent.

Before I get to the final story of of the day…………..here are a couple of pictures for you…….first one is son Lars took this picture waiting for the train in Chicago late yesterday afternoon as the blizzard moved in…….and then a FUNNY BONE!

106-YEAR-OLD MASS. MAN GETS HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA

You are here

BEVERLY, Mass. (AP) — Fred Butler was married for 65 years, raised five children, served in the Army during World War II and worked for years for the local water department, but the fact he never earned a high school diploma always bothered him.
Not anymore.
The 106-year-old was awarded his honorary diploma Monday during an emotional ceremony attended by school officials, state lawmakers and Beverly Mayor Bill Scanlon.
“I thank everybody who is responsible for this,” he said, wearing a mortar board hat and tassel and holding the prized document in his hands. “I certainly appreciate it.”
Butler dropped out of school before the ninth-grade to accept a full-time job at a print shop to support his mother and five younger siblings.
Daughter-in-law Cathy Butler says he regretted dropping out and always emphasized the importance of education to his children and grandchildren.
A grandson, Mike Calabro, said Butler gave him $5 for every A on his report card.
Cathy Butler launched the effort to get her father-in-law his diploma as a way to raise his spirits following the death of his wife, Ruth, last year.
Fred Butler’s only concern was that he hadn’t earned it.
Scanlon put that concern to rest. “It’s a long time to wait for your diploma,” Scanlon said, “but you’ve obviously earned it very well.”
