 6.15-

Strange thing happened to me on this date in 1966.
My summer job was selling health books and Bibles, big family Bibles, and other kinds. Towns passed laws that you needed and license. My company said they were unconstutional so disregard.
That was a mistake so I spent six hours in jail in Nakatish (sp). LA. When I checked in there were two men there. They asked why I was here.
"Selling Bibles" got a laugh. Fortunately my brother in law, Bill Luttrell, had a friend who was the leader of a large company in town. He came and got me out.
I re- learned a important lesson that day. Obey the law.

Romans 13
13 Every [a]person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except [b]from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore [c]whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for [d]good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a servant of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

4.2- The right kind of freedom versus the wrong kind of freedom.

 4.2- The right kind of freedom versus the wrong kind of freedom. We were born to be free. This kind gives us the mastery under God to become excellent farmers and craftsmen. We fall down and get up in this pursuit, but we gain spiritual humility which helps us improve. Ready. fire and aim better. Fake freedom is fly paper and the fly. The fly thinks, " I can land and have some hyper pleasure" but paper says to the fly, "I have you." A freedom done with no self control becomes an addiction. We who are children of God enjoy his mercies new each.morning to have a day of grace mercy and peace if we receive them for that is what he is sending our way. 1 Peter 2 13  Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority,   14  or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.   15  For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of

 4.6- After a great success the is a bit of a danger that comes next. The drain of the energy in the victory event should be followed by healthy restoration through decompression, nutrition and joyful, healthy and playful events that are free from moral danger. This week I had a day of amazing "yes" answers to prayer. One event culminated 44 years of prayers for something. Then I was drained and got into a bad thought drainage ditch. Thankfully, three of my buddies came by to help me to overcome evil thoughts with good thoughts. Then back on the highway of joy and positive progress. Hebrews 12. 4  In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.   5  And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,      and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, 6  because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,      and he ch

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a false statement, But a wicked person  [ f ] acts disgustingly and shamefully. 6  Righteousness guards
