NOW THAT THE ELECTION IS OVER!

It seems a long time since I sat down and wrote out an entry to this blog. I do apologize for my tardiness in doing so. Some of you have asked several times when there would be another addition. Not to make excuses, but I have started a second job to add to our family’s income, as have my wife and daughter-in-law. I am sure you are feeling the financial pinch as we are.

Now that the election is over I have a few suggestions for the believer in Christ to consider. First, this is not a time to "duck and cover." What I mean by that is, we are to continue on serving our Lord under the same mandate we have always been under – win the lost and train the saved. The labourers are still few and the harvest is still plenteous. So remain faithful.

Second, we have children that are still in our ward. God expects us to raise them in His nurture and admonition. They should be taught to love God, honor God and serve God. Their has never been a day when it is more needful for parents to give spiritual attention to their children.

Third, we are still in a race. Our heavenly Father has left us here to live for Him. Hebrews 12 reminds us that the world is never going to understand us or help us, but we are to remain in the race until Jesus comes. In this race what matters is not who finishes first but how each of us runs.

Let me conclude this offering with something I read from another periodical just this morning:
