What is YOUR Ultimate Problem?  DON'T MISS OUT--see the drop-down menu showing  the link UNDER "Solving Our Ultimate Problem" above for more information, please!

On May 7th, we took a day off and relaxed.  On May 8th, we went with our daughter to Downtown Disney, which is a shopping/restaurant area just before the entrances to the Magic Kingdom and Disney California Adventure, the two Disney theme parks in CA.  We could not go to either park, since they are allowing only CA residents to attend them.  We got some presents for Lane for Mother's Day and for our daughter's birthday.  Today, the 9th, Mother's Day, we attended our daughter's church, North Orange Christian Church.  This is the church which we usually attend online, provided we have online service wherever we happen to be.  It was a blessing to finally be in a live service, only the second one since March 2020, excepting Christmas and Easter.  Good service and message from the music people and Pastor Edmund.  Then we ate at Lucille's, a BBQ place.  This was an unusual blessing, since Lane found in a parking lot a gift card to Lucille's with $50 on it!  Wow.  We spent the rest of today calling our parents and our children calling Lane on the phone.  Good Mother's Day!

If someone to whom you speak today dies tomorrow, will you be satisfied with the last thing that you said to them?  Share Jesus and the Gospel!  If someone to whom you speak today is a person whom you never see again, will you be satisfied with the last thing that you said to them?  Share Jesus and the Gospel, and encourage other believers to share Jesus and the Gospel, too!

Food for Thought and Prayer

There is no greater state than to get up from your knees knowing that God has forgiven every sin you’ve ever committed.  —R. C. Sproul

The Bible is endlessly interesting because it is God’s story, and God by nature is himself endlessly interesting. The Bible is an ever-flowing fountain. The more you read it, the more you find its truth and beauty to be inexhaustible.  —D. A. Carson

The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment.  —John MacArthur

Ah, the loneliness of Truth Tellers who are not on the temple payroll.  —Martin Haglund

If you feel sorry for not being Jewish, read Ephesians.  If you think you've replaced Israel, read Romans.  —Tim Prismon

My church puts it well: "We don't shoot our wounded, but we don't send them to the front line either." --- Pastors who are struggling need to step back and get healthy, for their good and their congregations. We're living for eternity, not next Sunday.  —Geo Ammerman, comment on article about suicide of NOBTS prof whose name was on Ashley Madison

I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord.  —George Mueller

Our praying, however, needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage which never fails.  —E. M. Bounds

God does nothing but by prayer, and everything with it.  —John Wesley

If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of.  There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.  —Fred Rogers

We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility.  It’s easy to say, “It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.”  Then there are those who see the need and respond.  I consider those people my heroes.  Fred Rogers

I think it’s very important—no matter what you may do professionally—to keep alive some of the healthy interests of your youth.  Children’s play is not just kids’ stuff.  Children’s play is rather the stuff of most future inventions.  —Fred Rogers

If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you.  You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.  --Mary Pickford, Best Actress, Coquette

To know one has never really tried--that is the only death.  --Marie Dressler, Best Actress, Min and Bill

The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.  --Neil Degrasse Tyson.  Richard Graham—And yet it does to the one who is willing to see it.  And it does to the Christian, because we know the Creator.

A church without the broken is a broken church.  —Ed Stetzer

To believe in Jesus means to quit relying on anything that I believe would make me acceptable before God.  —Alistair Begg

The only person doing evangelism wrong is the person not doing it at all.  —Peyton Jones
