An overcast day had been predicted.
God gave us a beautiful day to visit the doctor in Lake Placid.

all the details.
No painter can begin to duplicate the Master.

Commentary:
Look to the Lord, keep your eyes on Him.
There is so much turmoil in the news right now.
It is so upsetting, so distracting.
Satan is working overtime.
He's polarizing us, dividing us.
He is taking our eyes off God.
We must stand together in this
United States of America
to solve our problems and we must turn to God
for the solutions of these problems.
We cannot solve them on our own.
Our Loving Almighty Father can solve ANYTHING! And He will. "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
2Chronicles 7:14

Book Reviews
Dirty Faith by David Z. Nowell
Do you feel that God is calling you to do more than go to church on Sunday, give your offering and "follow the rules?" This book makes one think seriously about what it means to be a Christian and to do it the way Christ lived. Great "food for thought."
Arms Open Wide by Sherri Gragg
Do you like a good story? I do and this book takes well known Bible passages about Jesus and His followers and makes them into short stories. These stories help us to better understand the Bible passages.
The Lost Letters of Pergamum by Bruce W. Longenecker
This is a fictional set of letters between the apostle Luke and a Roman nobleman named Antipas. The historical background gives us much insight into the horrible conditions that the early Christians lived in. It also gives incredible insight into the power of living as a real Christian and how that causes lives to be transformed.
Blessing
May you be greatly blessed as you see the magnificent beauty that our Loving Father has created for us.
May you always look to our Loving Father for guidance through the turmoil that life is throwing at all of us. Remember...God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5
And may your days be filled with the knowledge that your Loving Father deliberately chose you and loves you so much that even the hairs on your head are numbered and He knows that number so very well.
May God bless you greatly until we meet again.
And Happy Valentine's Day!
