Think About This
God’s Care
By Mark Roth on January 21, 2009 at 11:14 am
Today I saw a bird
‘Twas speckled brown and white.
He bobbed upon the wire
And sang with all his might.
And then he flew away,
Up, up into the sky.
His wing beats took him higher,
But then—! I saw nearby . . .
The nest of twigs and grass
This tiny bird had made.
His mate was sitting there,
Completely unafraid.
She had no fears or frets—
Her partner would be back.
Perchance he’d bring a worm,
Perhaps a different snack.
I sit and think awhile . . .
How birds just simply trust.
I think then of ourselves—
And how much more we must!
Now you’ve read the first five pages! Here are the last two:
Sometimes God’s care seems hard to bear,
Like chilly, drifting snow.
But then I see how lovingly
He’s helping me to grow.
As I am sinking into sleep,
A seedling in Your care,
I trust You, Tender Gardener—
I know You hear my prayer!

Whose Are the Children?
By Mark Roth on January 19, 2009 at 12:37 pm
“Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter, that thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?” (Ezekiel 16:20, 21).
God considers the children we bear His. Therefore, He holds us responsible for what we do with them. We dare not cause them nor allow them to pass through the fire of Molech or any other heathen influence or environment. We must bring them back to God.
How can we send them to be taught by people who are not given over to God to be controlled and directed by Him in all of life and in all the activities associated with it? How do we think that such will teach our children to live godly lives and to place on God their complete dependence? How will they teach our children to seek and follow the lowly Nazarene in everything in life? This is impossible. Read the rest of this entry »

USPS: New Rates Coming
By Mark Roth on January 16, 2009 at 9:12 am
The US Postal Service is announcing some new rates to go into effect on Sunday. 🙁
I haven’t figured out yet how that will affect our shipping/handling rates.
Maybe not at all.
