Almost 2010 on the West Coast

Happy New Year 2010!!! With one of our children in China, the New Year began quite a few hours ago! It reached New York a little over an hour ago with lots of fun and Auld Lang Syne and confetti and dropping the blue time ball! God has been so good and we love Him and worship and praise Him! Watching Moody Science Films from our New Hope library was part of our day and God is awesomely brilliant and creative and so good to us. What an Example and Savior and Friend in Jesus and what a Helper and Counselor in the Holy Spirit!

Yes, if I were Michelle Duggar, I would like to find my oldest two their spouse! That would mean three married and only 16 at home! Then just pair them up, like they do (I have their book and love reading about them since we have 8 children, 4 married) and it would be more like having 8! God bless the Duggars, and God bless the Bowdoins! And He has, and is!

The Days of Praise booklet for December 6, 2009: Eternal Responsibilities Eternal ResponsibilitiesDecember 6, 2009 "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him." (Revelation 22:3) Frequently, Christians and non-Christians alike have a misconception about the nature of the coming life in heaven. We will not merely "go to heaven" and sit around in some semblance of holy laziness; we will be given jobs to do! Just what those jobs may be, or what they may require, is not specifically revealed to us, but it is abundantly clear that the kind of job, or the degree of responsibility, will be a privilege based on what we do here on earth now.
