Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, and other thoughts

Here are a few eclectic things for your consideration today.

I had a great burst of creative energy a few years ago and I made collages in my art journal. That burst seems to have gone away but I still have some of the results. The compositions and even the execution are rudimentary, but they served a purpose for a while.

This first collage is a scene of how unsaved people play a game with their lives, not knowing there are eternal consequences at stake. Blinded, they try this or that, until the day they die and then they discover that the truth they had suppressed in all their game playing was the only truth.

I've been reading through 1 and 2 Kings for a while. It's slow going for me, because I don't have a context for the history and it's hard to keep the kings' names straight. It is also like watching the tide roll in and out. The kings were good, the borders enlarged. The kings were bad, the borders closed in. Repeat. And repeat. O, Israel! Joel Rosenberg reports this week from the AIPAC conference.

Quoting the Bible, Netanyahu says Israel must “choose life” in “historic” conflicts with Iran & Palestinians. Day Three report from AIPAC conference.

The darker the world becomes, the faster I run to the Light. Jesus is my eternal light, praise His holy name. John 8:12-

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
