God's Sustaining
Presence
5The LORD said to Moses, "Go on ahead of the people, and
take some of the elders of Israel with you; take in your hand the staff with
which you struck the Nile, and go. 6I will be standing
there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come
out of it, so that the people may drink."

Here is
a test to find whether
your
mission on Earth is finished:
If
you're alive, it isn't.

Bach
The
only way to discover the limits of the possible
is to
go beyond them into the impossible.

We had a wonderful Church
Retreat last weekend
near Estes Park. Mt.
Meeker is in the background.
On Thursday, we had lunch
with Miss Amelia (and Vicki, Sondra, and Karla).
Our ducklings are all grown
up now and most of them survived!
The elk seem to be
everywhere!
And when you have reached the mountain top,
Then you shall begin to
climb.

28"What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the
first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.'
29He answered, 'I will not'; but later he changed his
mind and went. 30The father went to the second and
said the same; and he answered, 'I go, sir'; but he did not go.
31Which of the two did the will of his father?" They
said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and
the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.
32For John came to you in the way of righteousness and
you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed
him; and even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe
him.
