The Mercy of a Mighty God


Psalm 90 A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
1 Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

How do we understand eternity? How do we comprehend a God that has no beginning and no end?

As a kid, during my days of confirmation, I remember one particular day when I was walking down the road. We lived in pretty much secluded country, too far out for much traffic, other than neighbors. Above me was endless blue sky. Around me were fields and pastures, wild vegetation and birds. The day was a summer day and I was gazing into the Heavens, trying to envision what the people looked like to God from Heaven. I pictured Him looking down and seeing us as little ants. However, at nighttime prayers I had no problem knowing He was right there. We don't have the mind to fully comprehend God. The more we learn, the more we realize the magnitude of His being. The walk I have now with the LORD, is "me". I would be nothing without Him. Is there any more beautiful verse than this one in Revelation:

Revelation 1:8
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

He is the Almighty, there is no other. How glorious will be His return. His splendor will be awesome. And our Mighty God WANTS us to be His children!

Revelation 19: 11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Time is short. The end is coming soon; we are the final generation. Let us all get ready to meet our maker while we still can. He loves us all and is waiting for you and me. Meet Him on your knees and in prayer, He is gracious and merciful and His forgiveness is there for those who repent and turn from their wicked ways. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven, except the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 12: The Unpardonable Sin
31 “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come."

There is no heart that is too cold or too hard to know the love of God. As a rebellious teenager, I was there. I went into the world and soon built up walls. I lived in my own world and did not know how to love others. I still prayed but did not know what love was. My world only consisted of ME.

It was a long road, but the Lord came into my life and loved me. He sent love into my life. People that knew how to love. People that had patience to love me. Many years later, out of the blue, I received love that was beyond anything I could imagine. It came as a lightning bolt, then as love that flowed from the heavens with waves of such intensity it took my breath away. A love that was so powerful I could barely stand. Why? I don't know. Who am I??

His love is there for you and for everyone that worships and follows the only true living God. (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) --Our Creator, Our Savior and Our Comforter, our Hope of all things to come. A mighty and powerful God that in His mercy and His grace has loved us all. God be with us.

Squirrels Everywhere

It seems kinda romantic to have little squirrels in your trees, eating nuts and apples, and playing hide and seek with each other. Unfortunately, we don't have tree squirrels; it appears the "gophers" we have are really ground squirrels. If nothing is done about them, there may never be any trees out here and we will never see a little tree squirrel playing in the trees.

The ground squirrel loves trees too. The only difference is he digs a hole fairly close to our tender young trees and then burrows under the tree and eats the tasty roots. They killed most of the lilacs we planted last year. Fortunately for us the badger came and wiped out the colony.

This year, even though I had covered up their holes, a whole new colony has invaded the land. Freckles is licking his chops and trying to eat them all...but this is way beyond him. I will have to try the live trap one more time and if that does not work, we are going for repellants or poisons.

Kathleen found a squirrel hole next to one of her newly planted plum trees. The days are numbered for that tree, and whichever one they choose next, if we don't act quickly.

Late Term Abortions

The Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act did not stop late term abortions--it prevented ONE method used. Late term abortions procedures must now be accomplished totally in the womb. The Partial Birth Abortion Ban prohibited the killing of babies that were "partially delivered".

For the abortionist, abortions can be risky business--even with arms and legs twisted and sliced off or the body mutilated, a baby may still live through the abortion and come out alive. If the abortionist kills the baby, after it has left its mother, or is partially delivered, it is a criminal act. Now many abortion clinics are adding a procedure before they undertake abortions to insure that no live baby will be born. A syringe full of salt solution is injected directly into the heart of the baby causing a cardiac arrest. The abortion then takes place.

This solution is also one of the drugs used when administering "lethal injection executions" by the state. Another drug is administered to render the condemned prisoner unconscious so that he does not feel the excruciating pain from the cardiac arrest or the suffication from the drug given to make his muscles immobile. A baby in the womb does not even get the humane touch of being unconscience or even given anesthesia. (An exception is noted that some abortionists may offer the mother the option of sedating the baby before killing it.)

We are such a blind nation. We stand by and let babies be killed in the most horrible ways....so that we don't get judged by our neighbors accusing us of judging others...so that we won't be called Christian....so that we don't interfer with another's right. We are sheep in the hands of Satan and his legion of liars, betrayers and deceivers.

May God deliver us from this great deception! May He save our young mothers-to-be and their babies. Does it not seem unreal that as we sit here, a little baby is being murdered, and it is totally legal!?

Montana has a petition circulating to put the PERSONHOOD AMENDMENT on the ballot for the 2010 election. It will change the State's Due Process Clause in the Montana Constitution:

The due process section of the Montana Constitution provides that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. CI-102 amends the due process section of the Montana Constitution to define “person” as used in that section to include every human being regardless of age, health, function, physical or mental dependency, or method of reproduction, from the beginning of the biological development of that human being. It directs the legislature to implement this definition of person by appropriate legislation.


If you are a Montana voter, please sign the petition. Go to the following website: http://www.montanaprolifecoalition.org/brochure.htm

Either download the petition and follow the instructions, or check in the left menu for CHURCHES. Find a church near you that is involved in the petition signing.

God be with us all.
