As I prepare my sermon for this coming Sunday morning I can't help think of my impending death, not that I am ill or but I have been hear longer then I am gong to be. I am using as an opening the Never Give Up speech of Winston Churchill. My Bible tells me that without a dream man will perish. Prov 29:18
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish:KJV
It seems to me that I always need to be looking to what is ahead of me, I have told others that if you are chained to your past you cannot move into your future, and that bears truth for me. a future that holds to hope. Hope for the future of today and for tomorrow. Always having some project I want to get done, Always looking forward to what God has in store for me, never giving up, that is a futile thinking process that resigns myself to having no future, or at least to one with little joy. I want to have joy, and the Lord is my joy.
There are many dreams I still enjoy, and hopes of things to come,
enjoying times with my daughters and granddaughters surely has to be one
Coffee each morning sitting on the deck with my love,
That's a joy as sweet as a dove
Building my model railroad, some day,
the room is ready, I love to play
Perhaps some day when I grow up I will know what I want to be,
But for now, just knowing my Savior is joy enough for me.

Did you notice that when you post it's either 4am or 4pm (except for one post). What's up with that daddy-o?
I wanted you to know I always read your blog but don't often comment. It strikes me that we both are convinced that we need to share our wisdom!
Are you reading mine?
