   Jonah has gotten a bad rap for centuries.  He has probably been preached about more than Judas, but never in a good light.  If you read his book, you will notice one sermon that is written.  It contains only 8 words. 
   
   Jon 3:4  And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
   
   The Bible does not give the number of people living in Nineveh.  One can only imagine that there were a lot of people there because Nineveh was a great city.
   
   Eight words, and the whole city fasted, repented, and was spared.  What an anointing!!!!!!!!!

   But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
   
   Not by works of righteousness which we have done,  but according to His mercy He saved us,  by the washing of regeneration,  and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
   
   Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
   
   Titus 3: 4,5,&6.
   
   
   I love those verses for two reasons.  The first is obvious, because it says we can be born again (saved)  and the second is that these passages twice tell us that Jesus is God.

   Luke 4: 16-22:
   
   "And he came to Nazareth,  where he had been brought up;  and, as his custom was,  he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day,  and stood up for to read.
   
   And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah.  And when he had opened the book,  he found the place where it is written,
   
   'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath appointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;  He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to teach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.
   
   To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.'
   
   And he closed the book,  and he gave it again to the minister,  and sat down.  And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
   
   And he began to say unto them,  'This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.'
   
   And all bare him witness,  and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth.  And they said, 'Is not this Joseph's son?'"

    Today is still a day of salvation.  He still stands at the door and knocks.
    
    How great it would be to see a revival!  Not one that focuses on whether someone speaks in tongues or Benny-Hinn-type-showman-stuff.  But a true revival!
    
    There's a Scripture where Jesus told the disciples they'd do greater works than He did.   So many people take that to mean we should be able to go around shootin' Holy Ghost fire from our fingertips (lol) and making limbs re-grow on people.   But I heard a preacher several days ago who defined it well-------first of all, Jesus's literal time here on earth was short, comparatively.  And the disciples DID do a lot of miracles like Jesus did!
    But the preacher asked what miracles are "greater" than the things Jesus did.
    And he pointed out that salvation is such an awesome miracle!  And that all of Jesus's followers after His ascension and on through all these years have the opportunity to speak His name and tell the world they can be saved!  It is the very reason Jesus came!  No wonder Jesus commissioned His followers for that very, simple thing!

    Rom 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
    Rom 1:29  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
    Rom 1:30  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
    Rom 1:31  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
    Rom 1:32  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

    Rock Of Ages Hymn
    
    ♫ ♫
    Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
    Let me hide myself in Thee;
    Let the water and the blood,
    From Thy wounded side which flowed,
    Be of sin the double cure;
    Save from wrath and make me pure.
    
    Not the labor of my hands
    Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
    Could my zeal no respite know,
    Could my tears forever flow,
    All for sin could not atone;
    Thou must save, and Thou alone.
    
    Nothing in my hand I bring,
    Simply to the cross I cling;
    Naked, come to Thee for dress;
    Helpless look to Thee for grace;
    Foul, I to the fountain fly;
    Wash me, Savior, or I die.
    
    While I draw this fleeting breath,
    When mine eyes shall close in death,
    When I soar to worlds unknown,
    See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
    Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
    Let me hide myself in Thee

    I'm trying to study Isaiah 38.
    The story is also told in 2Kings 20.
    
    God added 15 years to Hezekiah's life after Hezekiah asked Him to heal him.
    So what is the significance of the turning of the sun dial?   God "turned back time" so-to-speak in the life of Hezekiah, but only for Hezekiah, right?  It's not like He took the whole community back 15 years, nor did He take Hezekiah back to a different period in time; He just gave Hezekiah longer life.

    Amazing grace
    How sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me
    I once was lost, but now I'm found
    Was blind, but now I see
    
    'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
    And grace my fears relieved
    How precious did that grace appear
    The hour I first believed
    
    My chains are gone
    I've been set free
    My God, my Savior has ransomed me
    And like a flood His mercy rains
    Unending love, Amazing grace
    
    The Lord has promised good to me
    His word my hope secures
    He will my shield and portion be
    As long as life endures
    
    The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
    The sun forbear to shine
    But God, Who called me here below
    Will be forever mine
    
    Will be forever mine
    You are forever mine

             Unfortunately, I live too far from Kentucky but would love to spend some time there as I understand that on any given weekend somewhere there is always a Bluegrass festival going on. I would love to join in on those if I ever get the opportunity.

    Just A Little Talk With Jesus
    
    
    
    Words and music by Cleavant Derricks
    
    Verse 1:
    I once was lost in sin, but Jesus took me in,
    And then a little light from heaven filled my soul;
    It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above,
    And just a little talk with Jesus makes me whole.
    
    Chorus:
    Now let us, Have a little talk with Jesus,
    Let us, tell Him all about our troubles,
    He will, Hear our faintest cry,
    And He will, answer by and by;
    Now when you, Feel a little prayer wheel turning,
    And you, know a little fire is burning.
    You will, Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.
    
    Verse 2:
    Sometimes my path seems drear, without a ray of cheer,
    And then a cloud of doubt may hide the light of day;
    The mists of sin may rise and hide the starry skies,
    But Just a little talk with Jesus clears the way.
    
    Verse 3:
    I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears,
    But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night;
    I go to Him in prayer, He knows my every care,
    And Just a little talk with Jesus makes it right.

                      Well, on this site here, I hear it's possible to make decent money.  Several people do, or at least claim to!  I of course haven't done so yet;  I'm a total peon; I write mainly because I have a fervor for poetry about Christ mostly and it just comes out so I gotta have an outlet for it.  And there are other writing sites that produce income, or so I hear. 
                      
                      ...With your experience, you may be able to get gainful employment writing for some large company or site, newspaper or etc...?  Or have contacts that will allow you to publish books, etc.?
                      
                      Awesome you stopped here.  There's a reason for it, no matter what!  I'm reminded of the power of prayer.  There's an awesome Scripture passage......Jesus told Peter He had prayed for him!  To be the subject of a prayer Jesus prayed to the Father while He was here on earth---what a Blessing!   And now we know that Christ is God, so we know the power of praying to Him even moreso!   
                      I prayed for you.  And I know I'm not Jesus, but for sure I prayed to the right Person, the Son of Man/Son of God who IS God!  So we're on the right track!

                   Brenda, It's good that you are speaking against Obama's advocacy of abortion and homosexuality. It is very sad when society believes right is wrong and wrong is right, and gets angry at us because we will not embrace things that are wrong. The best thing for us to to do is continue to pray. Prayer makes a difference!

                      Yes it does.
                      Sometimes I'm not patient, though.  So I'm glad to have you encouraging me and reminding me of that.
                      Bless you.

    Where Could I Go But To The Lord?
    
    
    
    ♫ ♪ ♫
    
    Living below in this old sinful world
    Hardly a comfort can afford
    Striving alone to face temptation's sword
    Where could I go but to the Lord?
    
    
    Where could I go oh where could I go
    Seeking a refuge for my soul
    Needing a friend to save me in the end
    Where could I go but to the Lord
    
    Neighbors are kind; I love them every one
    We get along in sweet accord
    But when my soul needs manna from above
    Where could I go but to the Lord?
    
    
    Life here is grand with friends I love so dear
    Comfort I get from God's own word
    Yet when I face that chilling hand of death
    Where could I go but to the Lord
    
    
    Where could I go oh where could I go
    Seeking a refuge for my soul
    Needing a friend to save me in the end
    Where could I go but to the Lord

    There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood
    
    
    ♫ †
    
    There is a fountain filled with blood
    drawn from Emmanuel's veins;
    And sinners plunged beneath that flood
    lose all their guilty stains.
    Lose all their guilty stains,
    lose all their guilty stains;
    And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
    
    The dying thief rejoiced to see
    that fountain in his day;
    And there have I, though vile as he,
    washed all my sins away.
    Washed all my sins away,
    washed all my sins away;
    And there have I, though vile as he, washed all my sins away.
    
    Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
    shall never lose its power
    Till all the ransomed church of God
    be saved, to sin no more.
    Be saved, to sin no more,
    be saved, to sin no more;
    Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.
    
    E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream
    Thy flowing wounds supply,
    Redeeming love has been my theme,
    and shall be till I die.
    And shall be till I die,
    and shall be till I die;
    Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.
    
    Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
    I'll sing Thy power to save,
    When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
    lies silent in the grave.
    Lies silent in the grave,
    lies silent in the grave;
    When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.

          Hi Woman!
          
          Those aren't my poems though.
          They're old songs, many of them from the song books we used in Church when I was a child....and some are more contemporary songs...
          
          Maybe that's where I got my love of poetry, though, 'cause they sure are good ol' songs.
