Signs of the Summer Ahead... Spring Break Week 1, Crystal Beach, TX
This week's promise:
God protects His people
How has God protected us in the past?
Before the mountains were created,
before you made the earth and the world, you are God, without beginning or end. You turn people back to dust, saying,
"Return to dust!" Psalm 90:3-4 NLT
Our help in ages past
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home! O God, Our Help in Ages Past
ISAAC WATTS (1674-1748)
In 1714, the people of England were anxious. Queen Anne
lay dying, and she had no son or daughter to succeed her. Who would be the new
monarch, and what changes would that make? Isaac Watts had reason to worry. His
father had been imprisoned under the previous regime because his views did not
please the ruling family. As a young child, Isaac has been carried by his
mother to visit his father in jail. But Queen Anne had brought a new tolerance,
and freedom for the elder Watts. Now that she
was dying, what would happen?
Isaac Watts turned to Psalm 90 on this occasion and
penned what may be the greatest of his more than six hundred hymns. In essence,
it is a poem about time. God stands above human time, and in Him all our
anxieties can be laid to rest. The greatness of our eternal God was a favorite
theme of Watts. When the events of the day
bring worry, the God of all ages remains our eternal home.
A person can respond to suffering like an egg, or like
a potato. A potato goes into the boiling water hard, but comes out pliable. An
egg goes into the boiling water soft and comes out hard. ~ AUTHOR UNKNOWN

Hope you all are OK with the recent time
change.
The time change brought us beautiful
sunshine and a great weekend of Spring Break!
Even though the beaches were just a bit chilly
for some, Spring Breakers lined the beaches of Bolivar.

try'n to git hisself free. But Boudreaux, he had a real good grip on his haid,
yeh.
Well, Boudreaux pried his mouf open and got de frog and puts it in his bait
can. Now, Boudreaux knows dat ha cain't let go dat snake or he's gonna bite him

Well, dat snake's eyeballs kinda roll back in his haid and his body go limp.
