For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

A minister passing through his church In the middle of the day, Decided to pause by the altar To see who came to pray.
 
Just then the back door opened, And a man came down the aisle, The minister frowned as he saw the man Hadn't shaved in a while.
 
 
 
His shirt was torn and shabby, And his coat was worn and frayed, The man knelt down and bowed his head, Then rose and walked away.
 
In the days that followed at precisely noon, The preacher saw this chap, Each time he knelt just for a moment, A lunch pail in his lap.
 
Well, the minister's suspicions grew, With robbery a main fear, He decided to stop and ask the man,
 
'What are you doing here?'
 
The old man said he was a factory worker
 
And lunch was half an hour Lunchtime was his prayer time, For finding strength and power.
 
I stay only a moment Because the factory's far away; As I kneel here talking to the Lord, This is kinda what I  say:
 
'I JUST CAME BY TO TELL YOU, LORD,
 
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
 
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP
 
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
 
DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
 
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. SO, JESUS, THIS IS BEN,
 
JUST CHECKING IN TODAY.'
 
The minister feeling foolish, Told Ben that it was fine. He told the man that he was welcome To pray there anytime.
 
'It's time to go, and thanks,' Ben said
 
As he hurried to the door. Then the minister knelt there at the altar, Which he'd never done before.
 
His cold heart melted, warmed with love,
 
As he met with Jesus there. As the tears flowed down his cheeks, He repeated old Ben's prayer:
 
 
 
'I JUST CAME by TO TELL YOU, LORD,
 
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
 
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP
 
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
 
I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
 
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
 
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME,
 
JUST CHECKING IN TODAY.'
 
Past noon one day, the minister noticed That old Ben hadn't come. As more days passed and still no Ben, He began to worry  some.
 
At the factory, he asked about him, Learning he was ill. The hospital staff was worried, But he'd given them a thrill.
 
The week that Ben was with them, Brought changes in the ward. His smiles and joy contagious. Changed people were his reward.
 
The head nurse couldn't understand Why Ben could be so glad, When no flowers, calls or cards came, Not a visitor he had.
 
The minister stayed by his bed, He voiced the nurse's concern: No friends had come to show they cared. He had nowhere to turn.
 
Looking surprised, old Ben spoke up
 
And with a winsome smile; 'The nurse is wrong, she couldn't know, He's been here all the while.'
 
Everyday at noon He comes here, A dear friend of mine, you see, He sits right down and takes my hand, Leans over and says to me:
 
'I JUST CAME BY TO TELL YOU, BEN,
 
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
 
SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP,
 
AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN .
 
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALWAYS
 
AND I LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY,
 
AND SO BEN, THIS IS JESUS,
 
JUST CHECKING IN TODAY .'
 
If this blesses you, pass it on. Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart
 
May God hold you in the palm of His hand And Angels watch over you..
 
 
 

So, FRIEND, this is ME ... "Just Checking In Today"
