But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Galatians 4:4-5 She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He... Continue Reading →
Christmas City Bethlehem Lights Up
Okay, it was a Christmas Tree lighting, and that’s nice, but I did expect more. For some reason, I thought there was going to be bands and a big celebration. I have no idea where I read that, but I was wrong. Maybe I just wished and wished soooo hard that it would happen, but... Continue Reading →
Faces Of The Civil War From Eckley
"You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.” Matthew 24:6 Wars are what we do.

Do Not Pass Go, Go Directly To jail
Pottsville Pennsylvania has an ominous jail, the Schuykill County Jail. The stones are fabulous. The building is truly gorgeous, except for the fact that it is a jail. The occupants, I’m sure, don’t get to appreciate the beauty of this old structure. It was erected in 1876. It was here that the “Molly Mcguires” were hung in... Continue Reading →

It states that mankind fell from grace and sinned against the Lord. This has made us all worthy of His condemnation. But it also states that out of His great love... Continue Reading →

Fresh snow is beautiful and makes me think of the forgiveness of sins. Everything is new moment by moment. Ultimately, all things will be new in the... Continue Reading →
Will Jesus Find Faith On The Earth When He Returns?
Look at this tree. Do you relate to it? Are you thirsty and feel like you’re dying to hear the Word of Christ? It’s a great picture of the current state of Christian Church, or at least the true Christian. Jesus asked if He would find faith (in Him) on the earth. We must ask... Continue Reading →
A Living Timex Watch
Years ago my sister gave me a Mickey Mouse watch by Lorus. It was the best watch I ever had simply because of the terrific Mickey Mouse graphic on it. As you can see here he’s dressed as a Cossack or something like that, in a black and red design. I am a Mickey Mouse... Continue Reading →
