Things he taught
I opened Grandpa’s tackle box,
and there was his best fishing lure.
Silver fish with the tail of a fox.
It got a lot of use, that’s for sure.
He taught me to tie a fishing knot.
A strong one that wouldn’t break.
He taught me to clean what I caught,
and wash my hands in the lake.
How to put a worm on a hook,
and remove the fish when I got one.
To release the small one I took
and play the fish when they run.
He showed how to cast a fly rod,
with flies of feather and fur.
Grandpa’s gone but not forgot.
Memories flow through that fishing lure.

Why Do We Study Prophecy?
So, we know the seasons. The Bible is 30% prophecy, as some have stated. But, when you consider that the whole thing is about Jesus Christ, and that all the stories and pictures speak of Him, His First Coming and Second Coming, I think its more like 100%. God has called all believers to be…
Faith And Works
God works to build the Kingdom through us. James 2:14-26 In this passage. The apostle James, speaks of works being an aspect of our faith. It ends with the famous phrase “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” In the verses James shows that God commanded…
