You have relieved me in my distress…You have put gladness in my heart…For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety. Ps 4: 1,7,8
Dear friends,
Thanks so much for all the birthday greetings and prayers! My seven year old granddaughter, Truly, even spontaneously composed and sang a song for me. Her words will likely ring in my heart the rest of my days:
“68, 68, Grandpa’s 68!
68, 68, is so great!
You’re so much closer to heaven,
where you will see His face,
where you will know Him more,
and learn to be more like Him!
68, 68, 68!”
You guessed it. I turned 68, November 7th. And yes, beautiful Truly, you are right. To live is Christ; to die is gain.

Psalm 4 is on our hearts this week. It is David’s prayer of thankful peace in the midst of ongoing battles. The Lord has once again been merciful, staying the hand of the oppressor in America. But this is no time to relax. So many Americans, across the political spectrum, are lost. So many believers distracted or deceived. There are many battles ahead. It is time to give thanks. It is time to give Him our lives afresh. It is time to labor diligently to enter His rest (Heb 4), to come up higher (Rev 4); in more bold and effectual prayer and witness. He’s continuing His agenda for these end times. He’s not taking us back to the past, but to His glorious future.
We continue praying for post-election America, according to John 10:10. Join us. “Though the thief comes to rob, kill, and destroy, we ask You Lord Jesus to mercifully stop the thief in this election. Destroy the works of the devil, and save as many wicked souls as possible. Do not give us the government we deserve, but the government we need. Sweep America with fear of the Lord and life abundant in Your name! Nevertheless, not our will, but Your will be done! Amen.”
