According to the U.S. Census Bureau, May 10 is the date that the world's population will reach 6,666,666,666. Now that the day is almost over and no great "666" catastrophe has befallen us, I guess the conspiracy buffs can take a rest. But the real question remains: how many of these souls are you reaching with the almost-too-good-to-be-true message of God's love and grace to us in Christ Jesus?
Now that's a thought that makes knowing the importance of May 10 worthwhile!
I just picked up Dan Cobb from the train station. He is from southern California--attends John Verstegen's assembly in San Juan Capistrano. Dan decided he wanted to visit Shorewood so he hopped an Amtrack train and came for a visit. He goes home Monday morning--about the time Cynthia and I fly out to Alabama. By the way, I'll be preaching in my home church next Sunday, Forest Park Bible Church in Mobile Alabama.
Anyway, Dan has to get the reward for traveling the farthest to be a visitor at Shorewood. At least until Susi comes back next summer from Switzerland.
So, setting records isn't really all that impossible! You just have to make up your mind to do it. Thanks for coming, Brother Dan.
We had our monthly cleanup/fun night at church last evening. The group was smaller than usual this time but seemed to get more done. The game time was more intense too. Not so many people to hide behind! We've been there all day today too. Ladies had a wedding shower for Jen (Gibson) Hatters and I had work to get done before leaving next week.
One more thing: Brother Mel Dary is in the hospital with what so far is an unknown aliment. He is not well and we sure miss his happy face greeting folks at church. Benny, his cohort at the door, fills in well but Mel is hard to replace. Pray for him, if you will, and perhaps send him a card. You can send it to the school address (P.O.Box 97, Bloomingdale, IL 60108), as I don't have his address in front of me.
One more one more thing: I was at the doctor's last Monday for a followup on the radiation treatments. While he insists the current PSA tests are basically unreliable due to the continuing radiation activity, my PSA count is the lowest its been in five years. So at least the direct is good, even if I can't believe it! When I first had this "not to be believed" test back in January, I asked him why we were doing tests that weren't to be relied on, his answer seems vague. My comment was that he must be planning a trip to Hawaii. Now when I ask him that question, he replies that he is taking his wife to Belize! Wheeeeee. Glad I can be such a help!
Have a great day tomorrow. If you don't have a grace church to attend, log on to ShorewoodBibleChurch.org for our services at 9:30 & 10:45 a.m; 6:00 p.m. Hey, if Dan can come from California you can get there on the Internet. The services are streamed live, so you'll have to log on at the appointed hour. C/ya there.
Maranatha!

Hi Richard?
What do you think about this?
They are asking for responses...
manifesto
sharfite and richard
look you are good eggs and good bless you. but there is no god and your manisfesto is silly. look, the earth is not flat. the sun does not go around the earth. there is no god. that is an ancient belief, a nice one, but it is no longer correct. i know you cannot change your brainwashing mindcontrolled brain wiring and that's okay, good bless you anyways, but you are just so so wrong. just answer me: is the earth flat? does the sun go around the earth? so why do you still believe in a stupid Jewish idea that their one god will protect their chosen peoeople and poor jesus got it wrong too. i am not going to say wake up. you cannot wake up. you are sleeping walking. i love you anyways....
Poor Dan. He is still making dark age arguments--sort of like back when the public couldn't read. It was the science of the day that thought the earth was flat--not Bible believers (Isa. 40:22). But closed minds who have failed/refused to actually spend time actually examining the evidence generally end up demonstrating their intolerance/failures/desires to alibi away personal accountability for their sin. The only real answer is in the historically verifiable facts of the gospel of grace and what they are designed to bring to our lives. I'm glad we can't exaust the grace of God with our feeble rangings--or there would have been no hope for me!
richard
in all due respect, there is no hope for you. we live we die, all of us. that's life. get over it
dan
Dan you are a very sad man. We as grace believers know that death is not the end. We have a glorious heaven waiting on us and you have eternal damnation to fear. You don't know what you are missing by rejecting the free gift of eternal life.
