A Godly Woman
The Bible speaks to everyone who follows in the Way,But some parts are specific in the things they have to say.The fathers are encouraged, and those alone in life,And there are admonitions for the mother and the wife.
I always linger over these; they speak to my estate.They offer me direction in the small things and the great.To be a godly woman is the goal I want to reach,And so I need to study what the Scriptures have to teach.
A woman who is called to be a mother and a wife,Who takes the cross and purposes to live a godly life,Is ever growing in the faith she’s chosen to profess,And there are certain qualities she covets to possess.
The godly woman stays at home, her duties keep her there.She rises while it yet is night and gives herself to prayer.Her days are full of service and her heart is full of love;Her mind is full of gratitude and praise for God above.
Though not employed outside the home, she has no mind to shirk, She eats not bread of idleness, but fruit of honest work.Her brother and her sister, her parents and her neighbor,Her husband and her children share the blessing of her labor.
The love her husband feels for her is easy to reflect,And she not only loves him, but she gives him her respect.In her his heart may safely trust; she does him only good;When he confides his inner thoughts, he finds them understood.
She’s mindful, too, of Eden, where the woman was deceived.She knows it’s not her place to teach, as others have believed,Nor to usurp authority, but listen with subjection,In meekness and humility, accepting his direction.
When all the church assembles in a solemn, formal way,The godly woman listens to what the brethren have to say;And if she hears a statement made that makes her sit up straighter, The question forming in her mind she asks her husband later.
Still, there is a congregation where her voice is often heard,And her children are attentive as she teaches them the Word,When she sits within her house, and when she walks along the way; When she lays them down at night and when she rises with the day.
The godly woman is discreet, not seeking other’s praise;She’s modest in appearance, and she’s modest in her ways.She isn’t prone to gossip, but her neighbors know she cares,And any help her hands can give is certain to be theirs.
The godly woman isn’t gay; she’s left that all behind.She’s pleasant and she’s cheerful, but she has a sober mind.Her covered head, her simple dress, her modest mien are one;Her singular adornment is the good that she has done.
When years of faithful laboring have bent her body low,She’ll teach the younger women in the way that they should go.And verily, I say to you, she’ll have a rich reward.
Oh, make of me that woman, Lord! And guide me in that way.Behold, thou art the potter, and I the softened clay.Encourage me where I am right; rebuke me where I’m wrong.I read these Scriptures often and I ponder on them long.

The Heavens Sheweth God's Handiwork
Today our science club went on a field trip to the Rauch planetarium. We watched a show about the planets and stars. Through all of the program I was struck about how the secular explanation of how everything was made was so empty. I have been to the Creation Museum and seen their planetarium show and it is radically differient. There was true statements in much of the program, but without God in the highest role as the creator everything is meaningless. The Bible clearly says that God created the earth and the planets and everything else. The things that he created speak out that he is the creator! The stars, planets,animals and even people cry out in their beautiful uniqueness that the Lord he is God and The creator of life!
Praise be to God!!
"The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmaments sheweth his handiwork."
Psalm 19:1
" In the beinning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Genesis 1:1-2

Be Strong in the Lord
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand aghinst the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not aghinst flesh and blood, but aghinst principalities, against powers, aginst the rulers of the darkness of this world, and aginst spiritual wickedness in high places
Ephesians 6:10-12

Let No Man Decieve You
"Let no man decieve you by any means: for that day (Christ's return) shall not come except there be a falling away first, and that man of sin(The antichrist) be revealed, the son of peridition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he as god sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. "
