Wonderful supper last evening at P & T’s, good time had by all

Ponder… “it isn’t that you could not be saved; it is that you would not be saved“
Heard this last evening on my way home while listening to Christian radio. I do not remember the speaker’s name or his religious affiliation. (He was not Catholic) His words circled around my brain until I finally had Google make a note on my phone. This morning I look/think more closely. I thought about can I lose my salvation… yes I believe I can if I use the free will given me to walk away from God. To me, that is the key… I chose to walk away. I chose to be of the world. I chose to think oh if I take a break from all this God stuff he will surely take me back. The problem with this line of thinking is once you make your choice to walk away it is hard to turn your thinking around to coming back. Satan (who is very real and very active in your life) has a way of turning thoughts to Oh I’ll do that later right now I want to do this. Scripture: Heb 6; Gal 5:1-5; Rev 22:19; Eph 5:3-5; 1 Cor 6:9; Gal 5:19; Rev 21:6-8; 1 Cor 9:27; Matt 6:15,21-35, 10:22-32; Luke 12:41-46; 1 Cor 15:1-2; Col 1:22-23; Heb 3:6,14; 2Pet 2:2-22; Rev 2:10, 25:26, 3:1-5

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (Federal Holiday)

“And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’“

Dr. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Dec. 10, 1964. He said he accepted the honor on behalf of the civil rights movement “in recognition that non-violence is the answer to the civil, political, and moral questions of our time.”

Typical Monday in the works here this morning. Waiting to see if there are any closers or delays in the school day

Copywork finished yesterday

Jack Frost was in the garden;
I saw him there at dawn;
He was dancing round the bushes
And prancing on the lawn. 
He had a cloak of silver,
A hat all shimm’ring white,
A wand of glittering star-dust,
And shoes of sunbeam light.
(John P. Smeetion, 19th century)

Keep safe and warm today.
