Lord
we lift up Your Holy Name.
We
know this life is not a game.
As
we live from day to day,
May
we be able to find the Way,
So
we can be in Your Heavenly Realm
With
only You at the helm.
Help
us to teach others today
To
stay close to You in Your Way,
So
forever in You we will all stay.

Paul wants
prayers to be made for everyone so that we may live peaceful quiet
lives in
Godliness and holiness, knowing that there is only one God and
mediator
between
God and men, who is Christ Jesus.
(Jim's notes from I Timothy 2:1-7)
I
urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers .
intercession
and thanksgiving be made for
all people- for
kings and all those in authority,
that we may live peaceful
and quiet lives in all
godliness and holiness. This is good, and
pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to
be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
I
Timothy 2:1-5
“My own
writings”
As we live
from day to day we never know how each day will fit into the next.
Our oldest
Grandson, Zackary, is in the U.S. Navy and has just been deployed
to the
Persian Gulf on his first mission. I came across this poem that Jim
wrote
back in 2007,
a couple of years before his”Home Going,” How fitting it is that
he is talking
of Jesus being at the Helm of life, and to see how it relates to our
Grandson
being on the helm of a big cruiser and to know God is always in
control
of
our lives.
Those
who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters;
They have seen the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
For He spoke and the seas obeyed Him..
Who do business on great waters;
They have seen the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
For He spoke and the seas obeyed Him..
Psalms
107:23-25
