Our Father guards His little ones Before they rise to play And in Heaven watches over All we do and say Your kingdom come your will be done In this world where we live Give us please our daily bread And Forgiveness as we forgive And when strong temptation strikes Keep us from evil’s way Now in Your glory and your power Jesus be king today!

"The Hurrier You Go The Behinder you get!" Old Pennsylvania Dutch saying Hurry up turtle you’re right in the way And we’re late for the things we’ve got to do today Turtle turned and he looked But kept plodding along As if to ask “What’s the hurry When this road is so warm?” But I fussed and I fumed and I honked on the horn Till my wife told me I had to slow down and stay calm Then I turned and I saw we had stopped by a nest Of robin’s cheep-cheeping - I had disturbed their rest Then I blushed as I bowed and talked to the Lord So ashamed yet so glad we were stopped on that road For God speaks to us in some unlikely places If we'll slow down and listen instead of off to the races For He shows us His path step by step as we pray And be patient with turtles He has put in our way!

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:5 KJV
Our Sunday night prayer meeting had been dismissed and we were beginning to greet one another, when our friend Judy hurried over to the pastor with a question, “Pastor Kevin, I’m not leaving here until you explain the Trinity to me!”
I groaned inwardly and whispered quietly to my wife, “Looks like we’re going to be here a while!”
But Pastor Kevin just smiled and said, “No one can explain it perfectly Judy, but think of a candle, a wick and the flame. The candle is the source of everything, the wick draws the wax up and the flame is what people see in a dark room.” I relate this story for those who like Judy, struggle to understand the Trinity. Entire denominations have separated themselves from the rest of the church over this issue, with some even going so far as to consign the rest of us to the dark side for our belief in a God who is three in one. But we may never sort it all out and demanding to do so is no more helpful than chopping up the candle, helps us understand the flame. Maybe the candle of God burns to draw us closer, so that our hearts will be set aflame with the love of Jesus Christ. When He becomes our candle our wick and flame, then God flow through us to others, so that He will shine in the darkness till day that Jesus returns!
