Daniel 7:24-25 “And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall 
subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High.”

The latest recalls
With the increasing number of food recalls lately, it’s very tempting to buy a few rural acres and grow our own food, isn’t it? A dozen chickens, a milk cow, a veggie garden …

The sounds of freedom
Galatians 5: 1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of bondage.”
Out for my morning hike, I passed by an office building. There was a sloped area along the road and it was grown up with grass and small trees. Realizing I was hearing a sound that was unusual, I stopped and looked into the brushy area but saw no sign of life.
It sounded small; possibly like a chipmunk or maybe

Compromise is the enemy of our faith
The Christian faith believes that God draws people to Himself when they hear the gospel “good news” message about how much He loves the world when He sent His Son 
to shed His blood on the cross as the only sacrifice that could redeem those who believe. This is why evangelism is important to the follower of Christ, as the idea is the more the gospel is presented, the more people might be convicted and respond to this gift of salvation. After a person has made their public profession in the Lord, and vows to love

Planning for aging in place
Are you in your last home and plan to age in place where you are? Or is there at least one more abode in your future?
A recent study concluded that 84% of seniors plan to stay in their home for the rest of their lives. Planning (and hoping) doesn’t make it definite, of course. Of those who plan to stay, only a quarter have moved to a place that’s

Disability benefits scammers
You know it’s a scam when they want you to pay for their help in filing Department of Veterans Affairs disability benefits claims. Then when you receive the benefits, they make you give them a percentage of the money.
Ten thieves were recently nailed for defrauding the VA. The grand jury came back with 49 counts of conspiracy and fraud, including wire and mail

We hold these truths to be self-evident …
Editor’s note: The following text is a National Archives transcription of the stone engraving of the parchment Declaration of Independence on display in the rotunda at the National Archives Museum. The spelling and punctuation reflects the original.
In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Muddy rabbit tracks
Mark 16:15 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
This spring and early summer has been unusually rainy. The grass is growing to the point the mower is getting a more than normal workout and the string-line trimmer is well used.
The ponds are full and creeks are running full speed. Normally by this time of year they have ceased to flow
