TOMORROW....

IS A GOOD DAY

TO DO NOTHING!

OR

If you're going to do nothing, wait until tomorrow...

Jesus gave some 'hard' sayings at times to the world.   This one He told His disciples seems very hard indeed.  

Matthew 10:37  "He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me."

But when we get into His Word, we can soon find out that He does not require more of us than He or His Father required of Themselves! When Jesus hung dying on the cross, did not God put us first....even before His beloved Son? 

Utterly amazing, is what it is!

When that begins to register with us, it doesn't seem so hard to begin putting Him first, even before our family and all those we love so dearly.  

I don't think a person could grow corn and watch the stages it goes through,  and not believe in God. Other things that grow show there is a God too, but corn...Ahhhhhhh! If you have room in your garden, grow corn!

The first year that I actually watched the stages it goes through, I was amazed. There it was....tall and green and beautiful, waving in the breeze.

The tassles came on (where the pollen is developed) and I thought the ears should be on there already so that the pollen could do its work. But there were no little ears of corn yet. I went back out the next day...no ears.

Several days in a row I went out and found no little ears of corn starting to grow. The pollen started getting a little dry, so I just marked that corn off as a loss for that year, because the little ears were not forming yet.  I told my DH that our corn was not going to make.  He didn't know that much about it either I guessed, because he didn't say much.

The next day I went out and little tiny ears of corn were there but no silks to catch the pollen.  I still marked if off as a loss of work and time.

I watched it for a couple of days and finally one day I went out and, just in time for the pollen to dry up and fall there were the little silkies on the little ears. Just absolutely amazing that it does it at just the perfect time! And...did you know that each silk makes a kernel of corn on the cob????  YOU probably knew that....I didn't!

Also did you know that the sweetness of the corn is in the silk? My DIL and I were putting corn in the freezer one year and we were very careful to get the silks off.  (Quite a chore!)  Finally we tasted one of the silks and it was so sweet. From then on we just left a few on there and we also got done a lot faster.  LOL

We don't have room to grow corn every year. We kinda have to rotate what we plant each year but this year we made room for it again.

Yes....the stages of growing corn really shows there is a Creator Of All Things, and there is nothing left to guess- work and supposition.  If you have room in your garden....grow corn!

GREAT NEWS

In countries such as Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Nothern Ghana, Christianity (through World Bible School, WBS)  is being taught in public highschools! 

This is great news.  They are begging for the Bible to be taught in their schools, and they are getting it.  Some of these are Muslim schools and they enroll thousands to study the Bible. 

On a somber note:  How our country needs to go back to this.  Ours used to be a different kind of nation.  They DID use the Bible in our schools during colonial times.  We need desperately to get back to that. 

Some day, some so called 'Third World Country' is going to feel compelled to come over to America and 'missionary' us.  What a sad thing to comtemplate...but it's so easy to see it coming to that!  I hope our nation wakes up in time to see the error of our ways.
