Movin' on Up - December 21, 2008

Good Sunday morning! The archaeologists have found Bethsaida once more. I am always amused by the fact the world doubts first when it can't find a site mentioned in the Bible, and then doubts some more after the site is found and proven to be historically correct. "Well you found the town, that still doesn't prove that Jesus fed the 5,000 as the Bible talks about..." You can believe in Jesus, in which case you don't need to find the ruins of a site, or you can reject the truth and still not believe in spite of evidence of historical accuracy. There will always be those who refuse to believe even after every historical site from the Bible is found. As for those of us who believe, we don't need further proof that historical sites exist, but we do enjoy the discomfort of the world when another one is found. :-)

Another cold Sunday here on the plains, but not as cold as last Sunday. We stand a chance of having a white Christmas again. Snow is in the forecast for Tuesday and the temperature should allow it to stay around for Christmas. I have decided that this is the best Christmas in years, and the day isn't even here yet! Hmm, a chipped nail, must be one of those occupational hazards of writing. Dear, dear, whatever shall I do? Ha, ha, I think that I will go have breakfast and turn on the Hour of Power. Speaking of those guys... the younger Pastor Schuller is going to start his own ministry. I hope to see him on television soon. Perhaps their disagreement over the ministry's format was in God's plan all along. Now we will have two ministries where only one existed before. This is not to say that every church with more than one pastor should split up, but that sometimes the Lord will call one to move on and start a new church. We feel sad for the breakup of a great team, but then rejoice for a new ministry in Christ.

Pray for our ministers in Christ on this fine, cold Sunday morning, and have a merry Christmas too!
