Greetings in the Lord, Today's word comes from Psalm 73.  It is a "wisdom" psalm; a passage of godly counsel concerning the destinies of the righteous and of the wicked. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.        A reminder that God blesses those who pursue His goodness in word, thought and deed! But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.  For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.  They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.  They are free from the burdens of man; they are not plagued by human ills.        There are times in our faith walk when we go through such difficulties for our godly convictions, that we may actually think that living like the wicked would be better than serving God.  Their lives full of selfish gain/greed, cruelty, and undisciplined, godless behavior seems carefree and easy, even enjoyable, so that they get to pursue all the lusts of the flesh

Greetings in the Lord, Friday I had the unfortunate circumstance of being in Munich when the shooting there took place.  Every one all throughout the city was told to get indoors and stay there for at least an hour while the police secured the site (s) as it was said then that there were 3 shooters.  We watched the local news and read updates online while we hunkered down.  We heard one witness at the scene say, "He said, 'Allhu Akbar!' as he shot."  Then we were told his Arabic name and nationality--Iranian/German and his age. Well, by Saturday morning the quote had changed in the newspaper to , "I am German!" as well as his name, now to an English name of David.  The police are quick to report no supposed ties to IS, but incredulously, to the shooting that had happened in Norway.  Their whole story is ludicrous at best.  They really want the world to believe this kid got a gun illegally online, 300 rounds of ammo from Lord knows where, played too many

Greetings in the Lord, In traveling around Europe this week I am noticing a LOT of young Saudi men traveling with young Saudi women, probably their wives.  No big deal, you say, but with one young couple I talked to, they left their four kids at home and have no travel agenda--supposedly just wandering around Europe.  And they weren't even going to a major city to tour, at that.  No way, not in a million years! First off, young Saudi men travel with their buddies so they can drink alcohol and 'party' without their wives around, period.  If they are traveling with their family, they take their family, and they never just wander around without hotels lined up and some sort of travel plan.  It just doesn't happen.  Keep in mind, too, that they weren't the only couple I saw.  Nope, I saw several, and coincidentally the fellas were all wearing just about the same outfit--dark, long sleeve sweaters with tan jean shorts; typical of their conformist culture, I guess.  A
