Jesus Loves Me (Senior Version) Philippians 4:11 King James Version (KJV) 11  Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Prompted by the posting of a contributor to the social media, today’s dissertation is a reminder of the necessity to recognize the contentment that is ours when the promise given us by Christ is fully and completely comprehended and accepted. Too often, as age, and its inevitable consequences take effect, the tendency is to focus on those consequences, and wistfully reminisce about the youth that has been lost, instead of considering and joyfully anticipating the endless youth that awaits in the freedom granted us by Christ Jesus, delivered when the soul is freed from the corrupt physical body temporarily housing that soul. "Here for you now is a Senior version of Jesus Loves Me": Jesus loves me, this I know,   Though my hair is w...

Gathering Buds Hosea 10:12-13 King James Version (KJV) 12  Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. 13  Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. God’s harvest is continuous, ongoing, to be completed only at the end of His timeline, the end of His patient and loving effort in the fields that are sewn, the constant cultivation and care given, after the fertilization and growth of tender fragile plantings that are capable of producing so much fruit if not choked out by the weeds, if not starved in the barrenness of ground lacking the important elements for growth, if not parched by drought and the lack of the life giving water that must sustain that growth to the fullness of growth each is capable of achieving....

Swing the Door Open Wide Revelation 3:20 King James Version (KJV) 20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. The scripture used in opening today comes from the third chapter of the final book in our Bible, at the end of the letters to be sent to the seven churches, and in particular at the end of the letter to be sent to Laodicea, the last of the seven addressed by Christ, and the one most castigated for its actions and lack of actions, sincerity and lack of sincerity. These seven letters are quite often referred to in terms of church ages…. the progress of the church from the time of the crucifixion to ...

Will you Meet me Over Yonder Luke 16:19-31King James Version (KJV) 19  There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24  And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good thi...
